TWO WAYS TO LOOK AT IT

After playing matinee perform
ance recently in Omaha, relates a
popular actor, l discovered my hat
was missing from my dressing room.
This was really a serious loss. for,
being possessed of an exceptionally
large head, it is unusually necessary
for ME to visit every hat shop in the
town before l can find a hat to fit
Finally, after lot of effort and deter
mination, found a hat shop where
they had just one hat that would fit
me, l inquired the price of it. and the
shop keeper answered with an en-
couraging smile that it was five dol
lars. 1t struck me that the hat wasn't
worth that. being somewhat out OF
date, offered him two and half.
Two and half" he exclaimed,
struggling his shoulders. Why. you
ought to be mighty glad to get that
even for five dollars. Where will you
be able to find hat large enough to
fit your head?"
That may be true" l answered.
but where will you be able to find a
head large enough to fit your hat?'

Already he has been made civil govern

Somebody has said that he should go to
Alaska and s~uperintend the building OF

ritory. But evep that assignment bulks
tolerably small beside the severing of two

which the diverted waters of Sinsina-

and grading machines, scattered as IL
abandoned In some confusion. No work
was being done beyond the line fence,
and 40 yards from that. on a black
ened stump, sat a gaunt AID silent man
who rested q shotgun across his knees.
The county board member stared and
then drove on. In front Of Lindstrom's
gate. where he turned to town, Hem
minger saw Uncle Mich sitting on a
broken wagon tongue. What's this

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family.

1t is quite significant, the number Of
persons who get we'll of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cot
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There Is nothing surprising about It,
however, because the harmful alkaloid
-ccneine-in coffee is not present In
Postum, which Is made Of clean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago l was having 50
much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady In Washington, that at times
/ felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
THE doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something l had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
Il remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart.
So I stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. I have had no further
trouble since.
"a neighbor Of ours, an old man,
was 30 lFrlLADl0 from drinking
that his vito wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made 1t carefully according to direc-
tons.
HE drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his
wife that the coffee Is better than It
used to be, 30 she smiles with him and
keeps peace In the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"
