COLLEGE MEN WHO FAIL
Tn every college there Is a class oi
never-do-wells generally composed of
the sons of the rich They go to ool-
lege for the life there to take part In
social festivities etc artd they care
very little about study College Is to
them merely an excuse for persuading
their parents to permit them to spend
four years in riotous laziness At
tome colleges there are special cours-
es "easy courses’’ for such pupils
The college is not to be blamed for
the inherent weakness of those men
although blame does attach to them
for permitting students to waste their
opportunities and -their time The
smaller colleges aro much more care-
ful of the morals of those In attend-
ance than are the great universities
where students are supposed to have
reached the ago or discretion says
the Charlton News and Courier Dis-
cipline in the universities Is largely a
question of surroundings Professors
are there to teach not to spend their
time In enforcing discipline The re-
sult is bad not because the older men
are unable to govern themselves but
because so many parents Insist on
sending mere boys to universities
Where they ought to be sent is to the
small college finishing their work If
need be at the (iniversity when they
have had enough experience'to appre-
ciate freedom from rigid control and
to know how to manage themselves
To 6end a boy of 18 to a university
where the vast majority of those In
attendance are grown men Is to in-
vite his ruin
It has long been a favorite that
girls are smarter than boys especial-
ly in school and college Dr Taylor
president ofVassar explains the rea-
son "Wemen” he says "go to col-
lege to learn men do not While a
good many men do succeed there are
many more who are Interested in
sport and even those who do study
do not take any pride in letting the
others know they are working Girls
are conscientious they are far more
humiliated by failure than men” Dr
Taylor admits there are physiological
reasons why the girl is smarter than
the man at the college age says the
New York American But It Is also
probable that the restrictions Im-
posed on girls in the past have tended
to make them concentrate attention
on their studies College men have
as many interests as their Inclina-
tions prefer it Is usually not until
after they graduate that they settle
down to making a living Meanwhile
they can afford to yield the pahu to
jlieir sisters for superiority In youth-
ful scholarship
A Cleveland man who has divorced
his wife explained to the court that he
hud to buy gowns costing $125 each
for the lady that she paid from $25
to $75 each for her hats that her
muff set him back $120 and that she
Insisted on having a $250 diamond
ring Owing to the fact that he need-
ed a few things to wear himself had
to pay $40 a month for a flat and keep
a maid not to mention the necessity
of patronizing the grocer and butcher
he was unable to continue the ar-
rangement on a salary 'of $1800 a
year Some men seem to be such
poor managers
Platinum Is taking pains to em-
phasize that it is more valuable than
gold Its price having gone up to $43
per ounce A quarter of a century
ago Its price was practically the same
as that of gold but Its industrial and
scientific use has increased so as to
enhance Its value The rise In the
past six months has been $10 per
ounce In 1900 It was up to $40 and
a year later had dropped to $20 w hich
indicates speculative operations rath-
er more strongly than the di-ireclatio'
of gold
Every day or two we hear of some
rich American who has rented a Lon-
don palace for coronation week We
have personal assurances however
that a number of Londoners will be
there for the exercises
We are told that a youth In Wash-
Jigton Is about to wed a widow of 57
years and $5000000 Lore may laugh
at locksmiths but It smiles most be-
nlgnantly on bank robs
They have Just ended the funeral
ceremonies over the body of the late
King of Slam who died October 23
which probably will be a great relief
to bis many widows
The first sign vf bard times will be
an editorial In srgne newspaper on
“The Passing of the Automobile"
The worst about the man who aaya
"It goes without saying” Is that be
tfLo says It without going
Tight troueers are coming Into siyi
tD'o but the Istieti bills will refuse
to be cut smaller

COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ails
A bappy old lady in Wisconsin
Bays:
“During the time I was a coffee
drinker I was subject to sick head-
aches sometimes lasting 2 or 3 days
totally unfitting me lor anything
To this affliction was added some
years ago a trouble with my heart
that was very paiuful accompanied
by a smothering sepsation and faint-
ness -
“Dyspepsia also came to make life
harder to bear I took all sons of pat-
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time
“The doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me but
without coffee I felt as if I had no
breakfast 1 finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cof-
fee entirely and as I had read a great
deal about Poslum I concluded to try
that for a breakfast beverage
“I liked the taste of it and was par
tlcularly pleased to notice that it did
not ‘come up’ as coffee used to Tbe
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent and finally ceased
altogether and I have not bad an at-
tack of sick headache for more than a
year My digestion Is good too and
I am thankful that I am once more a
healthy woman I know my wonder-
ful restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum
Name given by the Postum Co Battle
Creek Mich
“There's a reason” and It is this
Coffee has a direct action on the liver
with some people and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions
Then may follow biliousness' sallow
skin headaches constipation and final-
ly a change of tbe blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration

another tab!esioon of sugar and whip
as before After third tablespoon h ’s

The icing should now be divided In-
to as many parts as there are colors
and each portion colored delicately to
the desired shade Care must be taken
