The company also manufactures and
distributes Fairmont Cement or Hair
Fiber, Fairmont Wood Fiber and

Maybe 1t Happened.

A shabby-looking man and thin
little shaver of boy were standing
with their backs against wall along
the public way. The man had shade
over his eyes and card hung in front
of him, bearing the legend, Blind and
Deaf"
The boy had smile on his face as
he listened to the street organ over
the way playing "Everybody's Doing
It," and then started involuntarily to
whistle the chorus.
The man turned savagely to him
and hissed:
Shut that warble off and slide that
grin off your face, yer little monkey!

Pat, who was in. lodgings. was
greatly annoyed by the landlady's help

gan by taking a piece of his butter,
and when Pat came home she said:
pat, / am taking a little of your
butter, but Pm not like other land
ladies-Im telling YOU"
Next day it was an egg, and so on.
Every day there was something taken
and put off with the same remark:
I'm not like other landladies-
telling YOU"
OF course there was never any re-
duction in Pats bill. One Saturday
his bill came to a larger amount than
usual. Pat looked at it, bundled up a
few things in his handkerchief, walked
to the door and said:
"Landlady, I'm sloping. I'm not like

A soldier is allowed to change his

convince his commanding officer that
he has good reasons. On one occasion
a man intimated his desire.
"Now," said the colonel, what are
your reasons? Have you conscien-

The man intimated that he had.

Gallant MaXor.

From small provincial town in the
north of Italy comes an amusing little
story. Queen Helena was visiting the
town, to attend the unveiling of a
statue of Victor Emanuel.
After the mayor of the town had
made an elaborate speech of welcome,
he handed the queen a glass of cham
payne, and asked 10 be allowed to
drink her health. AS their glasses
clinked, drop of champagne fell up
on the queens gown. She opened her
pocketbook to take out her handker-
chief, but the gallant mayor was not
to be caught on any point of etiquette.

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 l both loved coffee and
thought it 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 it 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 it better than coffee
and we're benefited by the change"
