THE MAIL ORDER HOUSE AND
THE CASH GROCER.

One of the strongest objections to
the Mail Order House or the Spot
Cash Grocer is the fact that some
time in our life we may be compelled
by unforeseen circumstances to seek
temporary credit until we can turn
about and adjust ourselves to the
new condition. In this event if we
have been spending our cash with any
concern who's motto is Strictly Cash
in Advance, would it be fair or just
to call on our merchant friend, who
occasionally grants credit to honest
and responsible parties? AS rule
an injustice done our conservative,
yet liberal merchants, is not forgotten
soon. Regardless of your circum-
stances to-day, tomorrow may find
you in distress and want. Those who
would refuse to grant the customary
privileges to-day, the privileges that
we give and take do not in our opin-
ion deserve your patronage. We here
would suggest that you patronize
your home merchants. In the long
run it means a saving to you, your
home town and home-merchant.

ment, for it will materially raise the
standard of the school and put it on
a level with the schools of other cit
les of our population.
In nearly every place this has been
tried, it has been a success, and it has
been of practical benefit to both the
students and the patrons of the school.
Pennington already has fine school
system and the proposed course in
Domestic Science will be just the
thing needed to put it on a yet higher
standard. We say, "Vote for the in
creased taxes" you will never regret
it.

Liverpool Man Exceedingly Careful
That He Should Not Shock the

In Liverpool there is a man, writes
a contributor to Pearson's Weekly,
who is famous for his calmness on
every occasion. One day he strolled
leisurely into the Office of a friend.
I've just had a chat with your
wife" he began.
''Why, l didn't know she was in
town"
ooh. she wasn't in town." replied
the other. Il called at your house"
II didn't know she was receiving to-
day" said the husband, with some sur
prise. Il thought she had a head
ache"
''She didn't mention 1t to me-" said
the calm man. There was quite a
crowd at the house."
"A crowd!" echoed the husband.
Yes" went on the calm man. They
came with the fire engine"
"The fire engine!" gasped the hus-
band.
"Oh, it's all right" went on the calm
man. It's all out now. 1t wasn't

lish soon as branch of the public
school system of Montevideo
While the women of Montevideo are
rapidly absorbing information as to
many essentials connected with house
hold affairs, throughout the country
sections there is the greatest need for
more specific training along this line.
In the interest of greater economy it
has been decided to extend the teach
ing work so as to include manual
training with a view to improving
home affairs, and it is therefore ex-
pected that the normal course in this
capital viii be boon to the whole
country.
The government has been liberal
in appropriating money for public
schools, and it is anticipated that the
allowance for the normal course will
be large enough to warrant a com
plete teaching course with a view to
extension.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of Coffee HablN.'


The injurious action of coffee on the
hearts of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This lie the drug found by chemists in

my heart was so weak 1t could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
would never breathe again.
THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said l must stop 1t. but 1t seemed ]
could not give it up until was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally husband brought
home some Postum and quit coffee
and started new and right Slowly
got well. Now / do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other
day: I never thought you would be

that it was inhabited by Ishmael,
whose posterity was supplanted by

their turn were supplanted by the

A. d. About 450 certain Kussai of

of Mahomet seized the Kaaba, and his

~ discussing between 0gnLS
WY the question of which is the
most cultured, two nations
of South America are gradu-
ally acquiring the title, in the opinion
of travellers to the southern hemi-
sphere. OF course no European nation
will yield the title to any American
country, yet the United States may
have to surrender all claims to the
culture championship of the new world
unless we progress more than we have.
A half-century ago South America,
except Brazil and Guiana, was emerg-
ing from state of chaos following
the fight for freedom from Spain. Bra
zil even then had attained some dis
tinction as a culture center, because
it had been the home of European
king, but the court of Rio de Janeiro
was never popular as resort for Eu-
ropean kings, and the emperor of Bra
I'll rarely had guests from across the
water. When Brazil decided to estab-
lish. a republic score of years ago, the
emperor was given a'pension and sent
away to exile. He took up his resi-
dence in Paris and the last claim to
royal palace and court America could
boast was lost.
But the pomp of royalty continued
in the capital of the new republic, and
there is still an appearance of royal
influence around the capital city. Rio
de Janeiro is one of the most beauti-
full capitals of the world All that was
good in old-world development of
old-world beauty was adopted by the
Brazilians in laying out their park
ways and beauty spots.
And Rio had more beauty spots to
start with than any European city. 1t

When one is asked the name of the

in the United States. But the city
which has made the greatest gains in
population in America in recent years
is Buenos Aires. 1t now is the third
city in size on the American continent,
