A Lead Pencil Danger
In the United States the danger of
putting pencils in the mouth has long
been recognized, and in all the schools
every precaution is taken to prevent
the interchange of pencils as well as
the moistening of them with the lips.

elders, who ought to know better, per-
sist in putting pencils in their mouth
regardless of the risk they run.

discouraged by tho failure of her
first attempt to prepare It. ller eon

"We had never used Postum till last
'spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try It. \\*3
had heard from our neighbors, and In
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked It.
"Well, the next morning Mother
brewed It about five minutes, just as
she had been In the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at-
tention to the directions printed op
(he package. It looked weak and
didn't have a very promising color, but *"
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of exceptancy. It certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid It wasn't a very pleasant
one. for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,'
and next morning gave It another trial,
letting !t stand on the stove till boil-
ing began and then letting It boll for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all so pleased with II
that wo have used It ever since.
"Father was a confirmed dyspeptic

Trouble With Ladies' Watches
"We always have a vast deal more
trouble with women than with men
about the watches they carry," said a
Jeweler. "No matter how expensive a
lady's watch or how correctly made it
seems to need regulation and repair
about twice as often as a man's watch
Of course most women forget to wind
