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 a 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
1t 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 were benefited by the change.

He Didn't Mind the Crowd.

The most embarrassing moment of
my life was when | once entertained
a young man friend at our camp at q
popular lake, on Sunday, writes Chi,
cago Tribune correspondent. The
young man had been very attentive all
during our acquaintanceship but
never had thought the affair serious.
l went to the car with him and, as
usual, there was crowd there. We
stood back until the others were on
board and then he stepped on the first
step and stood talking.
AS the car started, I held out my
hand to say good-by and he held 1t SO
firmly that could not escape. Then
he leaned over and kissed me on the
head while l ran along beside the
moving oar In sight of all our camp
friends.

determined to see. Courtlandt enters
Eieanoras apartments. She orders him
out and shoots at him. The next day
Paris is shocked by the mysterious dis
appearance of the prima donna. Realizing
that he may be suspected of the abduc-
ton of Eieanora Courtlandt arranges for
an abb. Eleanora reappears and accuses
Courtlandt of having abducted her. His

False Alarm.

Truth came up out Of her well one
day with so merciless look in her
eye that disquieting rumors sprang
into circulation. Was she about to
take over the dominion of the world?
A group of gentlemen made haste to
hustle up. "Ma'am! Miami" they
protested, breathlessly

Truth, with ominous coldness.

was not often that Nora Harrigan was
subjected to a touch of vertigo, but at
this moment she felt that if she stirred
ever SO little she must fall. The stock
whence she had sprung, however, was
aggressive and fearless; and by the
time Courtlandt had reached the outer
markings of the courts, Nora was
physically herself again. The advan-
tage Of the meeting would be his. That
was indubitable. Any mistake on her
part would be playing into his hands.

PUT LOAN FUND IN HANDS
OF COTTON PRODUCERS
Representatives Of State Committees
Leave for South to Begin
Active Work.
Ill APPROVE FINANCE PLAN
Unusually Harmonious Meeting Held
With Supervision Committee In
Washington-Curt OF Crop
Next Year Will lie Urged.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-THE
s135.000D00 cotton loan fund plan to
finance the surplus cotton crop was APP
proved unanimously tonight by rep
resentatives of committees which will
aid in handling the fund in Southern
States. Tho representatives held an
all-d conference with the cotton loan
committee which has final supervision
of the fund.
The conference, called for an ex-
PLANTATION of the administration OF the
fund. ended tonight, and most Of the
State committeeman left for the South
to begin active work In putting the
fund Into the hands OF cotton pro-
ducers. Although no definite state
ments were made at the meeting as
to how much cash Will be drawn from
the fund to carry the surplus crop,
estimates ranged from $10.o00,0o0 to
s70,000,000, and members of the cotton
loan committees were confident hun
drcds of applications for loans would
be forthcoming before January l.
Most of those present believed that be-
tween 100000 and 100000 bales of
cotton might be carried over until next
year. 1t was estimated that about
$150,0e0,0G0 would be needed to take
care of this cotton, and 1t was the
general opinion that unless there Is
natural expansion Of credit throughout
the South, the loan fund Will bs used
to aid cotton producers.
WILL URGE NECESSITY
OF CROP CURTAILMENT
There was evidence that many Of the
State committeeman agreed with the
idea advanced by officials hero that
cotton producers next year must cut
their cotton production. The cotton
loan committee Will use every means
to convince growers .of the necessity
of curtailment.
The meeting was said tonight to
have been unusually Harmonious.
There were some criticisms of details,
and it Is argued that some provisions
put hardships on Southern banks and
on prospective borrowers.
w. p. c. Harding, member OF the
Federal Reserve Board. chairman OF the

WASHINGTON. December 14.-steps

gency currency issued on commercial
paper shortly after the outbreak of
