bles.
“On a train one day a man rushed
into a car, held up his hand for atten-
tion, and shouted excitedly:
“‘Anybody here who belongs to
Pebbles?’
“‘Aye; I do,’ said a small, dry old
fellow calmly.
“ ‘Then,’ said the other, ‘lend us yer
corkscrew.’ ”

She Experimented.
A little girl of five was taken
to

er missed her and began an anxious
search of the house. As she neared
the bathroom she heard sounds of
splashing, and hurried to the door to
bchoid a small, excited face peering
over the rim of the big white tub, and
to hear a small, excited voice ex-
claim: “Say, mamma, this walking
on the water is quite a trick.”

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold-
est nights in winter because of the
heat and nrickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. It
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Dak. She says:
“I have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coldest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
I have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that I .must keep on the move.
“When it was brought to my atten-
tion that coffee caused so many ner-
vous diseases, I concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
“I only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now I have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace-
ful rest.
“Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me.”

Colleges Undesirable Fire Risks.
Colleges are now regarded as rather'
undesirable insurance risks, and it is
probable that the rate will be gen-
erally increased. In 18 years 784 fires
have occurred in college buildings, en-
tailing a loss of $10,500,000 in money
and a heavy loss of life. This makes
the average money loss over $13,000.

AND SYSTEM DISORDERED
Catarrh is not merely an inflammation of the tissues of the head and
throat, as the symptoms of ringing noises in the ears, mucous dropping back
into the throat, continual hawking and spitting, ctc., would seem to indi-
cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part of the system are involved. Catarrh is due to the presence of an excess
of uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be-
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste of the body, leave it to sour and form uric acid in the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all
parts of the system. These impurities in the blood irritate- and inflame
the different membranes and tissues of the body, and the contracting
of a cold will start the secretions and other disgusting and disagreeable
symptoms of Catarrh. As the blood goes to all parts of the body the ca-
tarrhal poison affects all parts of the system. The head has a tight, full
feeling, nose continually stopped up, pains above the eyes, slight fever
comes and goes, the stomach is upset and the entire system disordered and
.. . affected by this disease. It is-a waste of
