their complaining of headache, dizzi-

palpitation of the heart, sick head
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently ILL., About a
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
My brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place of coffee.
"A sister was III nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea. The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent good.
she thought nothing would take
the place of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is happy little

HAPPINESS FOR THE AGED
Them May Bring Pleasure Into
Their Lives.

a medical authority is of the opin-
ion that the aged should receive from
the physician and from the humani-
tartan sympathy and support that
will help and cheer them. The old
man should BE induced to improve his
appearance. His sense Of pride should
be stimulated. Those around him
should, without too great a departure
from actual truth, tell him how young
he looks. An effort should be made
to keep his mind pleasantly employed.
The tonic effect Of a local happening,
which engages the attention of the
community, on the aged who are
reused to stronger interest in cur
rent affairs is often quite salutary.
They thus have something to think
about, to talk about. They are taken
away from the past and again are in
the living present. The aged woman
rarely becomes as gloomy and de-
pressed as the old man. She has a
place in the activities Of the house
hold which can never be part Of a
mans life. When through age a
mans occupation is gone, it is diff
cult for him to adjust himself to the
idleness that follows and to make that
leisure source of happiness rather
than of unavailing regret.

Younu Honefuls in Vienna,

The Austrian government has taken
strong action against curious revolu-
tionary movement among the boys of
Vienna on the ground that it is dan
! gerous to the state.
For some years a culture club"
had existed privately among the boys,
but the membership became so large
that the president of the club applied
to the government for permission to
put a club for boys Of 16 and over on
a legal basis.
When the government officials re-
ceiyed a copy of the proposed statutes
they had a rude shock Statute No.
] calmly provided for the abolition Of
the home. Members of the club were
enjoined to put pressure on their par
ents SO as to obtain fats for them
selves.
Other items on the boys program
were the election of school teachers
and the dismissal of unpopular teach
eTs. Suggestions we're invited for up
to-date substitutes for such institu-
tons as the home and school,
These and even more startling pro-
posals Mortified the officials. A con-
ference was hurriedIy called The
minister of education, who was on a
holiday, was summoned to Vienna.
The existing club was raided and
closed because further evidence of
the unblushing effrontery of the move
ment was found.
The minister of education knew
only too well what the boys meant
by putting pressure" on their par
ents. Vienna parents are often bull
lied into acceding to the wishes of
their children by threats of suicide.

Of those American travellers who may

The funds of the museum are
strained to the utmost in conducting
the collection and preservation of the
vast fields OF antiquities being ex-
FioTea, and have not been able to
properly protect these wonderful rel
les Of 5000 and more years OF hu-
manly.
Nothing in the line Of such interest
can ever be hoped to be found again,
and they should be protected at once
and made as lasting as possible for
the interest of succeeding generations.
IN particular the mummy Of Sete l,
the father of the great Rameses Il,
who was buried 3,206 years ago, and
whose appearance is as If he had but
just closed his eyes, should be pro-
tected from decay. The mummy OF

CMr. Maspero thinks nearer ninety
six, after reign Of 81 years, is in
excellent preservation, and, consider
ing his advanced age at the time Of
his death, is no less realistic than
his father, Sete /
These actual bodies, of these great
est men of their day, bring to our
eyes and our realization what they
actually looked like, and they are so
interesting that they should be per-
petuated. The fungus, which comes in
little patches on their bodies, and
the almost impossible avoidance Of
beetles and the effect of light will
soon, in thirty to fifty years, make
them no longer interesting.
II q general SUBSCRIPTION could be
taken up and the funds sent to the
director of the Cairo museum this can
be averted. To anyone who has felt
the wonderful interest developed in a
visit to Egypt, I feel sure this appeal
will meet with approval, and if each
enc would send check Of even 81
to the order of the director of the Ma
tiOnal museum in Cairo, specifying
| that it is toward a fund for preser-
walton of the royal mummies, l think
the sum would be realized.-Samuel

the trouble was righted and the
