MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Work Slnee
Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform day af-
ter day, have found better capacity
and greater endurance by using Pos
tum instead of coffee. An Illinois
woman writes:

years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart was nervous and

"The first noticeable benefit which

and my nerves steadier.
Then I becaroe less respondent,
and the desire TO be active again

mental strength.
'T formerly did mental work and had
to give it up on account of coffee, but
since using Postum l am doing hard

City's Israel in Mourning

There is sorrow in Judea and mourn
ing in the tents of Israel. At least,
this applies to that large and hitherto
flourishing section which is especially
interested in the vending of second
hand clothing. Several marts wherein
the impecunious were wont to be
smartly endued with West end mis-
fits" have been closed down altogeth-
err, and others are feeling a severe
draft created by the blast of the war
trumpet.

cry of the beady-eyed statesmen with

Cortwright, not even in a consulting

Cortwright had risen. and he took
his guest confidentially by the button

DO you know, Brouillard, Hosford
gets on my nerves, too? Don't let that
influence you. Well let Hosford go.
! We needed him at first to sort of knock
things into shape; it takes a man of
project like ours, you know. But he
has outlived his usefulness and we'll
drop him. Let's go upstairs"
Late in the evening Brouillard
passed out through the cafe of the
Metropole on his way to his quarters
There were a few late diners at the
tables, and Bongras, SNUG and compla-
cent in evening regalia, was waddling
about among them like a glorified
head waiter.

Exact Copy of Wrappe
Synthetic Eous.

An Austrian scientist of Graz is
said to have been making synthetic
eggs. He has been able to extract the
albumen contained in the blood of
bullocks, sheep, pigs, and other ami
mails slaughtered for human consump-
tion, and to present it in such form
that it has no trace Of it's origin
either in taste or smell. As prepared
by his system, it is a coarse, yellow
powder to which he has given the
name of haematalb. His process has
already been applied in number of
German and Austrian abattoirs, and
haematalb is in use in many hospitals
of the central empires as substitute
for eggs. 1t dissolves in water, and
can also be used in the preparation of
pastry and other dishes.

New StNles in Hosiery.

Here is something new for art low
ers to keep their eyes glued to the
ground. They are two dashy new
STYLES in feminine hosiery. One is
called the lampshade stocking This
is a silk ruffle attached to the hose
Just above the shoe tops to give the
wearer the effect of a puss in boots.
When you see the lampshade stocking
on the street you cannot tell whether
it is coming or going. The other new
neither covering is called the purse
pocket creation. This is very prac.
tical for shoppers. It's a stocking
bearing a pocket, with a fap and a
clasp just above the ankle. The new
stocking makes it unnecessary when
the wearer wants to get into the first
national to hide behind something and
hitch up her dress to rsach the roll.
