Puzzled the Parson.

At a marriage service performed
some time ago in a little country
church in Georgia, when the minister
said in a solemn tone: wilt thou
have this man to be thy welded hus-
band?" instead Of the woman answer
ing for herself, a gruff mans voice
answered.: Il will" The minister
looked up very much perplexed, and
paused. He repeated the sentence,
and again the same gruff voice an
swered, Il will" Again the minister
looked up surprised, not knowing what
to make of it, when one of the grooms-
men at the end of the row said: She's
def, parson, an I'm answerin' for
her"

GET WIRELESS BY BEDsPRING
Eastern Amateur Experiments With q
Novel Form of. Antennae and
Is Successful.

Cyrus H. Fladreaux Of Peekskill,
N. Y. gives the following interesting
account of his experiments with a
novel form Of antennae for wireless
telegraphy:
There are many things used as an
tennae to catch the mysterious cleo
trio waves which carry our wireless
messages through space, and l find
that the springs of my bed serve as
very efficient antennae. My room is
on the second story of my house, and
by using these springs as antennae
can easily read the signals sent out
every night by the wireless station at
Sayville, l.. l., although they are not
by any means so loud as when l use
my outdoor antennae, which are 40
feet above ground, 60 feet long and
consists of four wires on spreaders,
the wires being two feet apart.
The bedspring antennae are best
for use with nearby high power sta
tons. Sayville, L. l.. is about fifty
miles from Peekskill. With my out
door antennae / continually hear the
Arlington (Va.) naval station when it
sends out the corrected time signals at
11:55 a. m. and at 9:55 p. m; also
the weather reports, Brooklyn navy
yard; New London, Conn; Cape Cod
and others, including amateur stations
too numerous to mention.
Il have an all-'round good apparatus.
I hold station license and an oper-
ator's license, both issued by the
United States government. My Off
cial call Is 2V u"

One Hundred Years AGO.

The curious modes which women af-
feet now began as far back as 1898,
which is a period we should hardly
wish to copy in most respects. A
dance not at all unlike the tango was
In vogue at that time, and had many
opponents, who danced in loose bod
ices opening in v shape from the
shoulders almost to the waist. Skirts
were slit and were often made OF
transparent gauze.
We may return to the gowns of that
period, which were without waists,
having simply a girdle to the bust,
with skirts caught UP rather short in
front and slightly trained at the back.
In 1900 women wore sandals and
bare feet Corset belts were only
about two inches wide. Some gowns
were caught up to the knee with large
canoes. Soon fashion overreached it.
self and then came crinolines, pointed
footgear and unnaturally small waists.
Are we coming to this?

GOOD CHANGE.
Coffee to Postum.

The large army of persons who
have found relief from many chronic
ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
1t is only a simple question of try
ing it for oneself in order to know
the joy of returning health as realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:
Il had been coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and / was seldom
without headache. I had heard
about Postum and how beneficial it
was, SO concluded to quit coffee and
try it.
Il was delighted with the change.
can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. My stomach has got
ten strong and can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum.
MY brother also suffered from
stomach trouble while he drank cot
fee, but now, since using Postum, he
feels so much better he would not go
back to coffee for anything"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
MELVILLE" in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
ooiled-15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in a cup of hot water and, with
cream and sugar, makes delicious
beverage instantly-30c and SOC tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is
about the same.

Will Direct Laborers.

Practically every town in the North
west will soon need men. In the
Southwest harvesting is cleared up in
many places and threshing finished.
Some of the men are drifting eastward
for lack of assurance that if they come
north they will find work. The Min
neapolis plan will be to systemic or
at least partly systemic the direction
of the labor movement, which, this
season, as in the past, is largely hap
hazard matter so far as the individual
laborer is concerned.

Minneapolis.-Dr Clyde Baker OF

friends in Jackson and would be wed
before returning to the home town
Frowns replaced the smiles when the
clerk informed them the license must
be obtained in the county in which the

The New Plan.

1t is proposed to raise a nominal sum
of money to be used in educating the
westbound harvest laborer to the fact
that instead of ten-day job, western
grain harvesting really affords four
months job at good wages.
BY 1915, it is expected, the plan will
be working and Minneapolis as the
clearing house for the Northwest, will
be in daily touch with the Southwest,
that men may receive instruction for
planning their western stay for con-
tinuous work from the Texas line up
to western Canada.

Minneapolis Is Prosperous.

Minneapolis factories and

running to capacity and many of them
working overtime despite the fact that
this is the dull time of the year. Flour
mills are all in operation and making

vested soon. Factories are cleaning
up the summer work to get ready for
pending contracts. Skilled labor is
more scarce in MINNEAPOLIS now than
ever before. The depression talk
heard in other sections does not apply
here.
