FRIENDLY TIP.
Restored Hope and Confidence.

After several years of indigestion
and its attendant evil influence on the
mind it is not very surprising that
one finally loses faith in things gen.
orally.
4 n. Y. woman writes an interesting
letter. She says:
Three years ago I suffered from an
attack of peritonitis which left me in
d most miserable condition. For over
two years ! suffered from nervousness,
weak heart, shortness of breath, could
not sleep, etc.
My appetite was rayenous but I
felt starved all the time. / had plenty
of food but it did not nourish me be-
cause of intestinal indigestion. Medi-
cal treatment did not seem to help /
got discouraged, stopped medicine and
did not care much whether | lived or
died
One day friend asked me why |
didn't try Grape-Nuts food, stop drink
ing coffee and use Postum. ! had lost
faith in everything, but to please my
friend I began to use both and soon
became very fond of them.
TT wasn't long before / got some
strength, felt decided change in my
system, hope sprang UP in my heart
and slowly but surely got better
could sleep very well, the constant
craving for food ceased and / have
better health now than before the at

Explaining TeIepathY.

There are numerous well authenti-
Gated eases On record in which per-
sons, suffering violent death, ap-
peared as phantoms to persons who
were dear to them at the moment of
death. The emotion which person
who is conscious suffers at the mo-
ment when violent death is offered
him in the form OF murder or acct
dent, beggars every other emotion.
Science, proceeding on the lines indi-
Gated above, hopes to unravel the
mystery attaching to telepathy, by
showing how the electric currents Of
the air, when impinged upon by the
electric currents of the body at mo-
ment of supreme emotional excitatioD,
will transmit that shock over miles
and miles, and deliver it safely to the
receiving instrument in the form Of an
other human electric current, attuned
TO the first in some way which science
has not yet explained.

Teachers BOOMERANG.

4 certain high school professor,
who at times is rather blunt in speech,
remarked angrily to his class of boys
at the beginning of lesson:
Il don't know why it is-every time
I get up to speak, some fool talks"
Then he wondered why the boys burst
out into roar of laughter.
