for number of years and complained
of that 'weak-all-over' feeling and sick

Some time ago / was making a
visit to distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the mer-

what unusual flavor of the coffee

piled that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that /
bought a package to carry nome with

the next meal. The whole family
liked it so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern

noticed that after using Postum for
short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart, and no
sick stomach; that the headaches
were not so frequent, and her general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty.

is KING OF URBAN TREES
Elm Famous for Developing Fine Sym.
metry When Allowed to
Grow Alone.

"The elm is essentially self.suffi.
cient tree. 1t does not thrive in
groves" Walter Prichard Eaton writes
in the Century. 1T has a standard
type of its own, and it either attains
this type or is lost to view. The elm
which comes to maturity Is usually
the one which has lodged in a favored
spot where there is no competition,
such as a river meadow, where the
spring freshets have dropped the seed
on fertile soil and the roots can get
down to water.
1--WE all know the type, the noble
trunk of massive girth tapering very
gradually upward to the first spring
Of branches, and then dissolving in
those branches as water jet might
dissolve in many upward and outcurv-
ing streams, till the whole is lost in
the spray Of the foliage. Like many
other trees that grow alone, it devel-
ops an exquisite symmetry; but with
the elm this symmetry is not only one
of general contour, but of individual
limbs. Not only is the silhouette SYM
metrical, but the skeleton also, branch
balancing branch. That is what gives
1t its remarkable fitness to comport
with architectural lines, with geome-
trically designed vistas. 1t has a
formal structure and a consequent dig
nifty which makes it the logical shade
for village street, chapel, library,
the scholarly procession in cap and
gown. Add to that dignity its arched
and airy lightness and its splendid
size, and you have the king of urban
trees"

NO USE FOR 1T IN FIVE YEARS.

NO USE FOR 1T IN FIVE YEARS.
A leading banker of Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
Of brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the state decided to build
new malt house at cost of $4,000.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect a loan.
He naturally went to one Of TIE big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The vice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly in the brew
ing business and had made hand
some fortune in that business during
begun to knock the big profits out of
1t. He very wisely got out of the bust
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of the out-of-town brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: whats the matter? With
all this fine property we got, amt we
good for $25,000?"
Quick came the answer from the ex-
brewer-banker: But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?"
ITO build malt house, SO we can
enlarge our business said the brewer.
"But, you fool, don't you know that
in five years you will have no use
whatever for a malt house?" replied
the banker.

There is no use in arguing with
your better half as to who is boss of
the shack, especially If she happens
to be in the amazon class. This didn't
occur to a New York married man
until after his spouse was through dis
cipling him. And then he looked as
If he had tried to stop train. He is
wearing enough gauze around his head
to make summer frock for an ele-
phant, his windpipe is in splints and
his pretty blue eyes are closed and in
deep mourning. The doctors say he

dizzy for about week. Wifey allowed
that she did all this by tapping hubby

A traveller entered an inn where a
Quaker sat by the fire. Lifting a pair
Of green spectacles and rubbing his
eyes, which looked very inf1amed, the
newcomer, in one breath, called for
some brandy and made a grievous
complaint about his eyes.
"They are getting weaker and weak
er," said he. And ney even the spec
tacies appear to do no good"
The Quaker looked first at him and
then at the brandy.
'I tell thee, friend, what l think,
said he. 'If thou wouldst wear thy
spectacles over thy mouth for a few
months thine eyes would get well

ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.

There is certain queer old book
which was printed in England more
than hundred years ago called. THE
Pleasant Art of Money! Catching" It
contains this good advice: First see
that your comings-in be more than
your layings-out." Suppose a man
were taking ten thousand dollars a
year over the counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But II
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not be prospering,
but failing. Uncle Sam does get a
great deal of money from the liquor
traffic. But he and we spend very
great deal more in caring for it's vic
tins. So this is bad business, and
when enough people have found it out
the liquor traffic will go. They are
finding it out very fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibit
ton. 1t is matter of dollars and
cents.-Christine Timing.

Don't put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;

take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
