"We get some sad cases said the

opened the door of the first cell
' Inside was a map sitting on a three'
legged stool gazing vacantly at the
wall

attendant "He was in love with a
girl but she married another man
and he lost his reason from grief”
They' stole out softly closing the
door behlifd them and proceeded to
the next Inmate " 1
This cell was 'thickly padded and

k THE FIRST TA8TE
Learned to - Drink Coffse When a
Baby-
If parents realized tbe fact that cof-
fee contains a drug — caffeine — which
Is especially harmful to children they
would doubtless hesitate before giv-
ing the babies coffee to drink
"When I was a child In my mother’s
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table mother used to give me
sips of coffee As my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water
"And so I contracted the coffee habit
early I remember when quite young
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley then ground It In the
coffee-mill as a substitute for coffee
"But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again That was
long before Postum was ever heard of
I continued to use coffee until I was 27
and when I got Into office work I be-
gan to have nervous spells Especially
after breakfast I was so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my corre-
spondence -
- "At night after having coffee for
supper I could hardly sleep and on
rising In the morning would feel weak
and nervous
“A friend persuaded me to try Post-
um My wife and I did not like It
at first but later when boiled good
and strong It was fine Now we
would not (Are up Postum for 5e
best coffee we ever tasted
"I can now get good sleep am free
from nervousness- and headaches I
recommend Pc stum to all coffee drink

the League of Political Education In
New York a superb 'epigram:
"He who begins with saving to pro-
tect bis family may end with neglect-
ing his family to save”
Discussing the dangers of Immod-
erate saving ' Prof Zueblln said the
other day: ’
"It’s by saving Immoderately that
we come to Inserting want advertise-

noticing this advertisement couldn’t

Sundays— should I have to work on

BAD ITCHING HUMOR
Limbs Below tho Knees Were Raw-
Feet Swollen— Sleep Broken—
Cured In 2 Days by Cuticura :
‘‘Some two months ago I had a hu-
mor break out on my limbs below my
knees They came to look like raw
beefsteak all red and no one knows
how they Itched and burned They
were so swollen that I could not get
my shoes on for a week or more I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help only when applying them
tbe horning was worse and the itching
less For two or three weeks the iuf-
ferlng was Intense and during ’ that
time i did not sleep an hour at a time
Then one morning I tried a bit of
Cuticura From the moment It touched
me the itching was gone and I have
not felt a bit of it since The' swelling
went down and In two days I had my
shoes on and was about as usual
