a big red and black imp-a Grand

she wore a ruffled cap of black around
her red face.
Here's another stayup,' said the
imp who had brought her, and then
on the floor around the Grandmother

children asleep.
The door closed with a click and
Lucy saw that the little imp had gone.
He has gone TO find more stayup chill

"What will you do with them?"

THAT wearing a brass ring on the

of the country and in the South there
Is a belief among the colored popu.
lation that wearing brass rings In the

some sections it is believed that the
wearing of a brass ring is not only
good for rheumatism but will prevent

Brass and bronze are both alloys of

in the word 'orichalcum'' ever down
to the Middle ages; though Strabo

describes its manufacture. To the an

bronze. The Bronze age preceded the
Iron age. 1t was an era when, though
iron was known. there were q few irou
weapons even at the siege Of Troy

utility.
When iron came into its own con-

tangled metal with suspicion and re-
tanned bronze for all purposes into

or the performance of sacred rites.
Roman and Sabine priests might not
be shaved with iron razors but only
with razors of bronze, and with bronze
shears they had to have their hair
cut. The Greeks attributed a certain
cleansing virtue to bronze and hence
employed it in expiatory rites. There
was evidently some connection con
ceived to exist between bronze and It's
cousin, German brass, and the sun.
For bronze was used in the ceremonies
with which the Greeks greeted an
eclipse of the sun and the Latin word

for Yourself

MANY people who drink coffee regularly are

"headachy," or suffer from indigestion.
1tmay be hard for such men and women to believe
that coffee is responsible for the way they feel. Be-
cause they have always drunk coffee, it hardly seems
possible that this old habit could cause trouble.
But there is one sure way to find out whether cof-
fee is harming you. Just stop its use for a week or so,
and drink Postum.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage-absolutely free
from caffeine, the drug in coffee, which disturbs the
health and comfort of many.
After a week or two on Postum, you will sleep
better and feel better; then your own good judgment
should decide whether you 60 back to coffee or con-
