A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ilia.
A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
111, writes to tell how she won back her
heallh by quitting coffee;
"1 am 64 years uid," she says, "have
used coffee ali my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
Insomnia. Lite was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a year my ailments got such hold
upon me that I was regularly 'sick in
bed' for several weeks each time.
"I was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
I am tb-nkful that I found out the
truth.
"Then I determined to use Postum
exclusively—for a week at first—for I
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length of time. I made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward In a perceptible Increase In
strength and spirits.
"Seeing the good that my short ex-
periment had accomplished, I resolved
to continue the use of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This I did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for gratification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad-
ually left me, my sleep returned, I
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
"Then I thought I would try coffee
again, and did so for a few weeks. The
punishment for deserting my good
friend, Postum. was a return of my old
troubles.
"That taught me wisdom, and I am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
using Postum exclusively and enjoy-
ing the benefits it brings me." Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

ed In the little book, "The Road to
Wellville," in pkgs.

Economy May Be Combined With
Good Taste in the Manner De-
scribed In This Article.
In making curtains for the bedroom
windows you can economize in ma-
terial by selecting swlss or scrim the
width of the window. Now measure
off the length you desire the curtains
and cut the material from corner to
corner on the bias. In other words,
cut from the lower left-hand corner to
the upper right-band corner.
To this bias edge apply a ruffle
either of the material or of coarse
lace.
Finish tho joining seam neatly by
stitching a strip of featherstitched
braid or a narrow bias fold over the
rufile and scan, edge.
Now finish the broad straight edge
at the top with a hem and narrow
casing, through which Is run a tape
the length of the width of the window.
The curtains are then shirred over
the tape or small brass rods and at-
tached to the windows.
Drape them to each side of the win-
dow with ribbons or cotton cords,
and you will have a pair of very good-
looking curtains, made from the quan-
tity of material generally employed
in making one curtain.
Persons in England Paid to Go
to Jail for Guilty Ones.
Proxies for Debtors Who Defy the
Courte and for Criminals Charged
With Burglary—Substitutes
Easily Found.
London.—"If every one bad bis de-
serts then a great many would be do-
ing time,' " is a very common saying.
One might add that a large number
of people deliberately undergo Impris-
onment In the place of the really
guilty. "Deliberately?" you exclaim.
Yes Proxies for criminals are not so
hard to find in Knglaud as you might
suppose, says Answers
A few years ago a magistrate was
amazed when a prosecutor went Into
the witness box and swore positively
that the prisoner was not the man
who had assaulted him. On the other
hand, the prisoner asserted that he
was the guilty party, and gave a de
tailed and circumstantial account of
the whole affair.
Time, place and every other particu-
lar titted In with the prosecutor's
story. The only difference was about
the man. The magistrate, however,
lnlllcted a fine of 20 shillings and
costs, whatever he may have thought
about the puzzle. As a matter of tact,
the accused aggressor had paid a
proxy to plead • guilty," priming him
in all the little necewsary facts.
One of the most out-of-the-way occu-
pations in England Is finding proxies
Out-of-the-way because, naturally, if
such a method of living' became
known, the police would be making
unwanted Inquiries. Many a inan who
has been released on ball is ap-
proached by one of these proxy agents, I
who offers to find a substitute as llk«>
him as two peas. The unfortunate man |
Jumps at the chance, for he knows full
well that If he steps away from his |
situation he may lose it. as well as I
losing what reputation he has got. In
nine cases out of ten the deception is
never discovered, though very often
the police suspect that they are belnt
hoodwinked.
It is not very difficult to discover
people who will go to prison for you,
for a consideration. Especially Is this
the case in "committal orders," w here

people refuse to pay their Just debts
A case in point happened quite re-
cently.
A debtor had defied the law, and the
officials went to his house and took
him away—at least, they thought they
were taking him away In reality,
however, the man they arrested was
a substitute, who had been waiting for
them to come and take him. The ac-
tual contemptuous debtor—a commer-
cial traveler, by the way—was doing
his usual business In the provinces
A case of substitution more risky
than usual came to light a few years

Beaded Photograph Frame.
Amoug the decorative articles made
of beads, and one you can make your-
self as a holiday gift, none is prettier
than the beaded frames.
These are made on a groundwork
of net. The beads a#e sewed on in
any pretty design you may fancy, are
lined with a bright-colored satin and
mounted on square, oblong or oval
frames.
An attractive square frame is made
on silver net, with a border of tiny
opal beads showing a vine design run-
ning through it.
A conventional fleur-de-lis in sliver
and bottle green beads decorate each
corner. The whole is mounted over
green satin.
Beaded frames will remain in fash-
ion longer than most articles deo-
orated with beads that are finding so
much favor nov.
Motorcycle Pute End to Pastime of

cle driven about a mile a minute In
! Riverdale road, according to witnesses.
| ended the somewhat extraordinary'
; career of the famous dodging hen,
' which for several months has fooled
automobile drivers and trolley motor-
I men In Ashleyville.
I The hen was a big Leghorn, and was
j familiarly known as "Mrs. Dodge" to
; the motormen of the Holyoke road.
I All summer she seemed to take great
delight in running in front of the cars,
1 no matter how faBt they were going.

I first the men impd to slow down to
; allow her to get by, but soon they no-
tlced that she would start from the
j roadway as the cars approached and
i run In front of them. Time and time
I again, it is reported, she lost tail
feathers.
After a time the hen found the
trolleys too tame for steady use, so
she took to dodging automobiles.
This proved more exhilarating, as
i they came faster and were more
1 numerous. Persons who have watched
' her say that she has dodged as many
1 as fifteen machines in rapid succea-
sion, and seemed to enjoy the fun ini
I mensely.
She successfully ran in front of a
large touring car which was going to-
ward Springfield at a moderate pace,
but failed to observe a motorcycle go-
ing in the opposite direction at a fast
clip. Before she could change her
direction of march the machine was
upon her, and with a frightened
squawk she departed this life.

Rescue by Prince.
Rome.—A pitiful tragedy occurred
recently in the beautiful gardens that
encircle Prince Ruffo's villa on tho
Flaminian Way, outside the gates of
Rome. A poor beggar woman, on the
verge of starvation, ventured up the
main walk to ask alms at the bril-
liantly-lighted ?Hla, lnilde which
Prince Ruffo was giving a dinner in
honor of a professor newly nominated
to tho International Institute of Ag-
riculture.
Thrust away with harsh epithets
by merciless attendants, the poor ,
woman was wending her way back to- .
wards the massive iron gates when,
overcome with hunger nnd fatigue,
she appears to have fallen Into a
swoon Just Inside the entrance.
About midnight piercing shrieks
and the barking of dogs brought the
prince and a body of retainers out-
side with lanterns nnd revolvers In
the belief that burglars were break- j
ing into the place. Soon, however,
they came upon a scene of horror. A
couple of furious mastiffs, let loose
earlier In the evening, had scented
out and denuded the body of the wom-
an, which they were furiously tearing
to pieces. The victim expired in the
hospital the following day. She was
seventy-two years old.

and the familiar cobweb or shadow
designs in veilings should not be over-
looked by the shopper who needs a
smart finish for her runabout tailored
suit of serge or a smart mixture suit
and a simple, natty hat. The veil
should be as nearly as possible the
shade of the hat's brim and its trim-
mings, and in this instance not an
elaborate detail of the costume. Lace
veils, on the contrary, may be made
a prominent feature of the afternoon's
reception costume with which they
nre usually worn and the wisest
choice in these is a black and white
chantilly. For motoring the newest

Family Lives In Chicken Coop.
Worcester, Mass.—Jos. J. March, a
l farmer, was in court charged by
I Arthur Taylor, inspector of the So-
! ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty
| to Children, with living with his wife
' and five children in a chicken coop,
1 built before the Civil war. while he
| stabled his horses and cows in a large
new barn.
"The chicken coop was in such a
state of decay," Taylor told Judge
Utley, "that I could punch my fist
through it. The cattle were being
fed hay that cost eight dollars a ton,
while the children had to sleep on one
filthy mattress with one blanket over
them."
Washington.—In a few days Thomas
Harrison, chief clerk in the naval ob-
servatory, will have completed proba-
bly the most remarkable term of con-
tinuous service in the government on
record. He will have been for sixty-
three years, a longer period than the
average life time, at the same desk in
his department.
No record comparable to this ex-
ists in this government, and it is
doubtful if any such record ever ex-
isted before.
And there is another thing about
Harrison that is unprecedented He
has asked to be demoted. He has
volunteered to take a position of less
salary and less importance, and has
insisted upon it when his superior offi-
cers were disinclined to authorize it.
A year ago Harrison went to the
acting secretary of the navj and
asked to be transferred. He said that
old age had come upon him; that his
faculties could not be expected to re-
spond much longer, and that before
Incompetency forced itself upon him
he wanted to take up other duties less
responsible.
Mr. Winthrop listened to the veter-
an clerk, and then refused the request.
The secretary said that any man with
Harrison's record was entitled to full
pay to the end of his life, if not for
I present efficiency, then for the wo k
j he had done in the past.
This compliment and the recognition
j of his services pleased Harrison. It
I made him feel that he had not spent
his sixty-two years at hard work
without his reward And he returned
to work and remained at work until
a week or so ago.
Then the old man wrote a letter to
the secretary, renewing his request
that he be relieved of responsibility,
j but that he be given some work that
! \\*Jd support him for the remainder
of his Uf«.
| Harrison was obdurate. He had
I made up his mind to turn his responsl-
j ble work over to a younger man and
j finally convinced the secretary of the
I merit of his plea. Tills time Mr. Win-
' throp stood aside and ordered the
transfer to be made
Harrison is now eighty years old.
