MEAL-TlME CONSCIENCE.
What Do the Children DRINK

There are times when mother OF
father feeds the youngsters something
that they know children should not
have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert
but more often it is tea or coffee.
1t is better to have some delicious,
hot food-drink that you can take your
self and feed to your children, con-
scious that it will help and strength
en-, but never hurt them.
A Yorkstate lady says: 81 used
coffee many years in spite of the con-
viction that 1t injured my nervous sys-
tenn and produced my nervous head
aches. While visiting a friend I was
served with Postum and 1 determined
to get a package and try it myself.
The result was all that could be de-
sired-a delicious, finely favored, rich
~ colored beverage. Since 1 quit cof-
fee, Postum has worked wonders for
me.
MY husband, who had suffered from
kidney trouble when drinking coffee,
quit the coffee and took up Postum
with me and since drinking Postum he
has felt stronger and better, with no
Indication of kidney trouble.
You may be sure I find 1t great
comfort to have a warm drink at
meals that can give my children.

help and not hurt them as coffee or

Famed Iarbor of Valetta.

Malta is one of the doOrwayS of the
earth. A stream of humanity, pro-
cession of vessels, pours through the
harbor of Valetta. A great city thrives
here without manufactures, almost
without resources, on the gold it draws
from shipping and from tourists. Pas
senger steamers swing Importantly up
to the docks like the limOusnes of So
ciety leaders. Unkempt freighters
come loosely to anchor with much
ringing of bells and profanity. The
war vessels of Great Britain steam in
and out, cutting the water with clean
prows and the air with sharp orders.
Valetta, the Maltese city, is an an
cient and honorable town. For CEN
turtles it was the outpost of the Cru
saders in their endless war on Islam,
the stronghold of the Knights Of st.
John. These doughty warriors har-
ried Turkish commerce with great en-
thusiasm and effect, retiring to their
city when the Turks attacked them,
and putting up one of the most spirited
defences In history when besieged.
Their mark is still on the city in a
ring of picturesque Notifications, in
churches and cathedrals, in old cannon
which modern commerce uses for
mooring posts and In a modern aris-
tocracy.

Because of the thorough preparation of

from a fetid prison place.
Burton was in a dream all the rest
Of that day. A strange thing had tran

him that he was heir to large for
tune. The legator was Phineas Dodd.
Burton had never seen him, but knew
that his mother was a cousin of man
Of that name. The lawyer stated that
the pretentious home of Mr.. Dodd at
Wildemere was ready to receive him as
Its master, with a generous bank &C.

other property holdings.

Burton decided to 60 down and look

with letter Of Introduction to the

never been In Wildemere before. He
did not make his identity known to
anybody and after locating the dlrec-

Good Food Habits.

With the reasonably generous break
fast of the American family, the lunch
or supper is likely to be moderate and
the dinner generous.
On the other hand, 1t is natural
enough that with the light breakfast
of continental Europe there should go
either the second breakfast and supper
or the hearty lunch as well as the din
ner.
Apparently the number of meals TAX
en- does not greatly influence the
amount eaten per day, for the man
who goes without his breakfast Is
very likely to make up for 1t at dinner
or supper, while the man who eats an
early breakfast and then second
breakfast will be likely to take mod
crate lunch or light dinner.
Good food habits do not permit OF
gluttony.

''This way, Burton"
Verne Burton flushed at the per-
emptory and uncivil call. He had never
liked the arrogant office manager, less
than ever just now, as that conceited
individual hailed him as though he
were an Office boy.
1t was prudence and policy, however,
to submit to the insolent exactions of
the lordly boss of the office. Burton
reached the desk of his superior to be
greeted with cold censurng look.
Somebody to see you in the outer
office" snapped out the manager. "Be
brief. We can't indulge these calls
taking up the time of our employees"
Burton fancied the implication did
not apply in his case. He had been
under the domination of this slave
driver for a year, held down to a mere
pittance of salary partly, he decided,
because the manager did not like him.
Burton could not remember having had

The manager sat scowling ready to

whole office. Burton anticipated him.

The manager was stupefled. Then
his false nature came to the front with
a specious mask.

tending his hand, "allow me to con-
