THE TRICKS
Coffee Plays on Some
It hardly pays to laugh before you
are certain of facts for It Is some-
times humiliating to think of after-
wards “When I was a young girl I was a
lover of coffee but was sick so much
the doctor told me to Quit and I did
but after my marriage my husband
begged me to drink It again si he
did not think it was the coffee caused
the troubles
“So I commenced It again and con-
tinued about 6 months until my stom-
ach commenced acting bad and chok-
ing as if I had swallowed something
the size of an egg One doctor said
it was neuralgia and Indigestion
“One day I took a drive with my
husband three miles in the country
and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner
I thought sure I would die before I got
‘back to town to a doctor I was drawn
double In the buggy and when my
husband hitched tho horse to get me
out into the doctor’s office misery
came up In my throat and seemed
to shut my breath off entirely then
left all In a flash and went to my
heart The doctor pronounced It ner-
vous heart trouble and when I got
home I was so weak I could not sit
up
"My husband brought my supper to
-my bedside with a nice cup of hot cof
'fee but I said: ‘Take that back dear
-I will never drink another cup of cof-
fee If you gave me everything you arr
worth for It Is Just killing me H
and the others laughed at me anc
said:
“ ‘The idea of coffee killing any-
body “Well I said 'it Is nothing else
but coffee that Is doing It’
"In the grocery one day my hus-
band was persuaded to buy a box 01!
Postum which be brought home and
I made It for dinner and we both
thought how good it was but sale
nothing to the hired men and they
thought they had drunk coffee until
we laughed and told them Well we
kept On with Postum and it' was not
long before the color came back to
my cheeks and I got stout and felt
as good as I ever did In my life
have no more stomach trouble and !
know I owe it all to ToBtum In place
of coffee
“My husband has gained good health
on Postum as well as baby and I and
we all think nothing Is too good to say

CLOTHING MAKE8 THE MAN
Historical personages Stripped of Ac-
customed Raiment Seem Unreal
A meeting of the Custom Cutters
Association of America was held In
Philadelphia the other day J O
Madison of New York In explaining
the part that clothes play In making
the man said:
“An undraped Caesar never could
have quelled rebellion with a speech
nor could undressed our great Wash-
ington have awed his friends with his
impressive dignity What do ws
know of Moses not knowing how he
was dressed? And how much greater
would our interest be in Aristotle
tf we knew the kind of clothes he
was In the habit of wearing?
“What do we know of Nero or ol
Judes Ignorant as we are of what
their clothes were like? And if we
knew how St Patrick clothed him
self how much more feelingly would
the Christian world do reverence tc
his memory We know that Adam
wore a fig leaf and he seems because
of this historic fact more real than
If we knew him only as the man
whose appetite for apples made tall
orlng necessary"
AFRAID 6HE WAS A HOOHOO
Little Girl’s Good Reason for Standinf
on Formality
Ham Brock once prominent In sport
ing circles was accustomed to bring
his friends home to Introduce them to
bis family Before the Corbett-Sulll-van
fight he appeared with the "great
John I" He presented his wife and
brought forward his little girl and
said :
“Elsie I want you to know Mr Sul-
livan the greatest fighter In the world
Sake hands with the champion dear”
The girl gave her hand and treas-
ared the Incident in her memory In
time Sullivan lost the crown but the
girl remembered him as the king
While "Mike” Kelley was In his
glory he paid Brock a visit Brock
called his daughter and said "Elsie
this is Mr Kelley the champlan ball
player of the world and he wants tc
meet you”
The girl looked at the offered hand
and hesitated and finally said:
"I don’t know about shaking hands
with you I shook hands with one
champion and he got licked”— Boston
