EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
"My wife was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one Of which was change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
awe knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take it's place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all Of
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. It was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
as it all happened so quickly. Each
day there was improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
place of coffee" Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:
Postum Cereal-the original form
must be we'll boiled. 15c and Csc pkgs.
Instant Postum-a soluble powder
dissolves quickly in cup Of hot wa
ter, and, with cream and sugar, makes
delicious beverage instantly. SOC
and soc tins.
Both forms are equally delicious
and cost about the same per cup.

Story That Defies Time.

Commentaries have been written on
the Book of Job which only Job could
have the patience to read. A hundred
books have been written and many a
song has been sung with the fortunes
of Mary Stuart for their burden, but
these have been redeemed from the
dullness which has so often fallen
upon even the stupendous drama of
the Old Testament by the mystery and
glamour which ever wait upon the Scot
tish queen.
More than three centuries have
passed since she stood to her trial in
Fotheringay castle, yet time, that COW
ers most things with it's weeds, has
been powerless to impair the interest

duces about $1,O0O,OOO worth Of furs
annually. These include all varieties.
from squirrel pelts Of an average

output in 1913 included $500 bear
skins valued at over $4,000 at from
SO for brown bear skins to $40 for the
grizzly or polar bear. The greatest
fur market of the United States is at
st. Louis, but of the world is at Lon
don. The war in Europe has cut the
price of Alaska furs about so per cent
this year. Some fox pelts bring very
high prices and are much sought after.

The number of suicides increased I'M
til they reached the unheard of total
of 1880
Ill health was given as the cause in
1,190 cases, insanity, $50; disappoint-
ment in love, 536, and family troubles
in 965 cases.
Shooting was the most frequent
method of suicide; 1857 persons shot
themselves, 1882 took poison, and
2,063 killed themselves with gas.
Other methods mentioned in the
order of their frequency were drown
ing, jumping from roofs, throat-cut-
ting, jumping in front of trains, stab
bling, fire, dynamite and starvation.
There were 80 cases of suicide by
pact and 258 cases of murder and sui
eide.
The world record for murders was
reached with a total $3.50, and the
unhealthy mental condition of the
people is shown by the fact that the
vast majority of the victims met their
deaths in quarreIs.
Gustave LeBon, the great French
psychologist, says: ideas, senti-

REFLECTIONS ON The
LIFE OF JUDGE WELD
continued from page i

continued from page L
Mr.. Weld could at any time without
apparent preparation get up prompt
| thy before an audience and make a
good extempore speech. But he had
made previous preparation. His rich
fund of information was the reserve
source of his readiness. Drawing on
this Astounding fund of knowledge
he could speak we'll upon almost any
subject that he was liable to be call
ed on to discuss ir public. I have
heard Mr.. Weld make many an ad-
dress in public. I never knew him to
hesitate for thought or to be at a
loss for an appropriate word to ex-
press himself lucidly and forcibIy
and | never detected him in the mis-.
pronunciation of word. | consid-
er such an achievement most re-
markable. Such an accomplishment
is the manifestation of vast fund
of information and a readiness to
use it to advantage.
He found great enjoyment in ac-
tivity, supreme satisfaction in &C.
complishment. His love of work and
fidelity to his duties made him a
highly useful public servant in what
ever capacity he assumed to serve,
He seemed to find more satisfaction
in his work than in the comp ensation
his efforts earned for him.
Judge Yields knowledge was
many sided and practical To him
is credit due more than to any other
man for putting into successful
operation those utilities that have
made River Falls an up-to date city.
Among the mechanical sciences
that especially interested him was
architecture. He planned number
Of public buildingsto the satisfaction
of the builders and gave ready and
acceptable advice and aid to many
who designed to build private resi-
dence or to remodel an old one and
the most of this work done by him
was done without recompense al
though some may have paid him for
it. remember that when it be-
came necessary to enlarge the pub
lie school building it was a problem
how this should be done to the best
advantage. We finally appealed to
Mr.. Weld to solve the problem. At
ter weeks consideration he gave
his decision, a conclusion that was
eminently satisfactory. He kindly
supervised the work of construction
giving much Of his time to the over
sight. He would make no charge
for his applied knowledge or the
time devoted to- the work but of
course we insisted upon his accept;
ing what we considered fair COM
pensation, a sum that was satisfact-
DRY to him.
The people of Pierce county will
long hold this model citizen in CRATE
