NEW IDEA
Helped Wisconsin Couple.

1t doesn't pay to stick too closely
to old notions Of things. New ideas
often lead to better health, success
and happiness.
A Wis. couple examined an idea
new to them and stepped up several
rounds on the health ladder. The
husband writes:
Several years ago we suffered from
coffee drinking, were sleepless. nerv-
GUS. sallow, weak and irritable. MY
wife and I both loved coffee and
thought 1t was bracer." (Delusion)
Finally, after years of suffering, we
read Of Postum and the harmfulness
of coffee. and believing that to grow
we should give some attention to new
ideas, we decided to test Postum.
When we made 1t right we liked
it and were free Of Ills caused by
coffee. Our friends noticed the
change-fresher skin, sturdier nerves.
better temper, etc.
These changes were not sudden,
but increased as we continued to
drink and enjoy Postum, and we lost
the desire for coffee.
MANY of our friends did not like
Postum at first, because they did not
make it right But when they made
Postum according to directions on
pkg, they liked 1t better than coffee
and were benefited by the change"
Name given by Postum Co.. Battle
Creek. Mich. Read "The Road to
Wellville." in pkgs.
Postum nov comes In two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is soluble pow

The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.

All Il cod.s.

All that we have is Gods. He made
us, and not we ourselves. Every good
gift and every perfect gift has come
down from the father Of lights. with
whom is no variableness. neither shad-
ow that is cast by turning He gave
us all the temporal goods we possess
houses. lands and fiocks. And he
also gave US his own son. tho one
gift that exhausted the infinite re-
sources OF heaven. Therefore all that
we have OF earthly good, or spiritual
blessing. comes to as from God We
are his stewards.

At the Sunday afternoon meeting conducted at the Y. M. c. A, there was a. good attendance considering the weather.
 Amos A. Browning presided at the meeting and introduced the speaker, Rev. Charles E. Ewing from Tientsin, China Among some of the things that Rev. Mir. Ewing said were: The people of China have among them selvts fine examples of genius and character and in all their ways are quite democratic people.
 The revolution that broke out in 1911 the rebels or the ones that desired republic were well supplied with arms and finances and the people thought the rebellion would be easily put down like all the others had been but instead it kept increasing. gain ing a larger influence and foothold, and when the American nation, the first of the big nations, recognized them as a republic there was great re- joicing China looks up to our glori- ous nation as leader. She picks us out for they consider us the best of all the leaders. They want our ideas and ideals.

AT DAVIS THEATER.
Vaudeville and Photoplays.

There were more than capacity au- diences at the Davis theater on Mon day, both afternoon and evening and the bill of vaudeville given by the hve acts was shown to be favorite. A trapeze act that was full of graceful novelties was given by Miss Caprice Lewis, who won plenteous applause and a black face singing, talking and dancing act by McNally and Stewart caught the instant favor of the houses.
 In her appropriate costume Zita, gypsy violinist, gave a tuneful number. and the Dutch comedy skit by Wooley & West had the house in roars all the way so that the audience reluct- antly let the team go when the act was over.
 The scenic number of the bill was by the Great Richards, female imper- sonator who did some star work in toe dancing, with a lavish costume dis play, and his act made a most enter taining number along the lines shown by the celebrated Eltinge.
 The motion pictures were all well chosen for the bill.

fast by part of the automobile that rested on it. and the doctor could hear him moan occasionally and from time to time try to speak.
 It was pitch dark with scarcely a chance that anyone would be passing along the road on the rainy, misty night but the doctor raised his voice and shouted again and again for help. He could feel that the water in the gutter was soaking him through and that the heavy weight that held him tight was fast taking away his strength.
 No response came to his shouts. At intervals he felt MT. Blumley's pulse and found that it was growing weaker and weaker. At length it ceased beat ing altogether and he knew that the man lying there next to him was dead.
 At length the motorcycle rider came along and the doctor was released.
 After help had been secured from was raised from the body of MT Blum ley and propped up with a fence rail, to await the arrival of the medical ex- aminer.
 long deep wound that extended from the middle of his forehead down into his right cheek showed where the automobile had rested upon him with sufficient force to crush into the skull.
 When Undertaken Gager was sum- moned he quickly secured F. E. Patu- son and Eugene Pattison with an au- tomobile and made the trip to Franklin, taking Dr. Howe in at Yantic. The body was brought to the undertaker's morgue in this city.
 Dr. Coles also came back here in the automobile and although apparently badly hurt and much unnerved, he refused to receive a doctors attention then. He declined to be taken to his home but with wonderful nerve saiu he would stay for a while at his office at Hodges stable.
 MT. Blumley formerly was a polisher at Hopkins & Aliens and he resided at No. 240 Laurel Hill avenue with his son-in-law and daughter, MT. and Mrs George A. Turner, who had lately moved there from No. 10S Boswell ave- nue. MT. and Mrs. Turner were noti- fled of the sad accident Monday night
 The deceased, who was an expert in his trade, was a widower, and leaves several children.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
 IS NEED OF MAN. Rev. E. w. Coleman Spoke at Y. M. c. A. Meeting at Thermes Factory.

At the Thermos company, the Y. M c. A. conducted their weekly shop meeting, Monday noon. Rev F. w Coleman spoke to a large audience from the text T am the bread of life"
 He directed his attention to the thought that these words of Christ called attention to the fact, that we have a spiritual as well as a physical side and that just as surely as we need food for the body we need food for the soul. It is strange tht men speno so much time to the caring for the body and so little time caring for the soul, especially when we consider that soon the body returns to the earth and the soul Hives on forever.
 Christ wants us to pay more at tention to the soul life and tht is why we have the Bible and the church; that is also the purpose of prayer.
 It is all important that we give much thought and time to the devel- opment to whatever church you at- tend you are called upon to recognize that Christ is what He claimed to be, ''the bread of life.'' the food for the soul.
 Secretary Hill interested the audi ence with several selections on the graphone.
