EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things Of Value.

Where n 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 a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
ave knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all Of
her troubles had disappeared as IL by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone. stomach tron-
BILE relieved, appetite improved and
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an e~xaggeration,
as 1t 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.

SENTIMENT FOR MINISTER is
SPREADING AMONG GREEKS.
Government Unable to Suppress the
Demonstrations and Meetings
for Former Premier.

Athens, Greece.-An impartial OBJ
a tour of all the mainland of Greece
reports an amazing spread of senti-
ment in favor of Elutherios Veni-
zelos, the former premier, even in con-
sentative Peloponnesus.
The recent efforts of the government
to suppress the demonstrations and
meetings of the Venizelos adherents
has awakened deep resentment among
the people and there is a growing
determination to Gust the present gov
eminent even If it be necessary to
resort to arms.
Some Favor Revolution.
1t is learned from incontestible au-
thority that several leaders of the
revolution of 1909 are actively engag-
ed in planning a similar attack, al
though Venizelos deprecates this and
advises instead the practice of pa
tience and use of legal methods. On
the other hand the recent plot against
him failed only by a hairs breath,
owing to the extraordinary devotion
and watchfulness of his followers.
Frequent talks with King Constan-
tine prove to the press that the NOM
arch honestly is persuaded that a
policy of inaction is approved by q
majority of the Greek people, the king
persists in regarding the recent dem
onstrations of the growing popularity
Of V~enizelos as merely political man
euvers.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING EF o
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poIsons.

II you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, q
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing In the morning to wash out of the
system all the previous days poison
GUS waste, gases and our bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for a
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act IN
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
~freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who r usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing beforef breakfast. They are as
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.-Adv.

Keep a-Moving Along.

There never was a time in the his
tory of the world in which there was SO
violent a passion Of movement Is to-
day. We are none of us content to
live our lives in one place. We must
all be going somewhere in search of
new sights. The railroad no longer
keeps pace with our desires. The
neatly laid rails which traverse our
continent seem too formal in the rap
idity of our thought. 1t inks us to pre-
sent ourselves at a railway station in
time for the express.
We must settle our own hour and
take our journey as we list. So motor
cars come to the aid Of railway trains,
and for those who cannot bear the
sloth and solidity of the earth on which
they were born there is the flying ma
chine.

ETPENNYFORE
Boys at B~artIesvilIe, Ok, Work at
Night With Flashlights and
Earn Spending Money.

Bartlesville, Oklahoma. - A dozen
or more boys of this city are doing
much to rid the community of Eng
lish sparrows in order that song birds
may multiply and flourish, and at the
same time earning pocket money. For
each sparrow captured and destroyed
they receive a reward of a penny.
The method adopted by the sparrow
hunters rests chiefly upon a pocket
flashlight, for their work is at night.
During the day they find the nesting
places Of the pest birds.
When darkness falls they go from
house to house, climb to the roosts of
the birds, turn the glare of the flash
light upon them, and the rest is easy.
They visit from 10 to 20 houses a
night.
