HERE’S TO THE BOY!
WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES IN
EVERY ONE OF HIM.
Just a Few Items Recorded in One
Day’s News Prove the Good Qual-
ities in the American Lad’s
Makeup.
Boys, just ordinary, everyday boys.
They don’t/ seem to amount to so
much. Big sisters would like to_have
them kept out of the way when their
callers are in the parlor, and mother
often feels like inviting them to trans-
fer their operations of Indian scalp-
ing and building dams and railroads
to some other boy’s mother’s back
yard, and father seems to be the only
one that really believes in the boys.
But watch them carefully and you
will see that there are wonderful pos-
sibilities in every one of them, writes
Carolyn Prescott in the Chicago Amer-
ican. See how carefully the boy plans
his actions, and watch him in case of
an emergency, axyl I tell you the boy
is always there—or as he says, he is
“Johnny on the "'spot.”
In just one issue of a daily paper
I happened to find enough news re-
garding boys to convince me $hat the
world would be a pretty poor place
to live in were it not for them.
Just one day of 24 hours, and here
are a few things that one Pittsburg
paper had to say about the boys of
western Pennsylvania:
“A boy has just returned from Ox-
ford university, where he received
honors in the legal department, six
pf the eight honor men being from
the United States, which fact, by the
way, is being widely commented upon
by the educators of the British isle3.”
9
But there’s nothing surprising in
the fact that the American boys out-
strip their English cousins, is there?
In a neighboring Ohio town a boy,
and a colored boy at that, held his
father at bay after he had pounded
his wife into insensibility, and finally
shot him, this being the only way in
which he could save his mother’s life.
A small boy, aged ten years, jumped
from a boat to recover a bucket that
had fallen overboard, and was not
seen. The river was dragged for his
body, but he made his appearance an
hour later, none the worse for a swim
of more than a mile against a swift
current.
Here’s another: A Newcastle lad,
who showed hio Spartan eourage by
hiding from his sick mother three days
the fact that he carried a bullet im-
bedded in his neck. Fearing it might
alarm her and make her worse he
kept his painful secret until blood poi-
son set in and the secret was made
known. He will probably die.
Turning the page we find £ picture
of a dozen sturdy lads who are bend-
ing eagerly over bits of cloth. If we
lock closer we see that the cloth is
made into shirts, and these boys made
their shirts themselves, under the di-
rection of their teachers in the vaca-
tion schools—made them, buttonholes
and all—so there will be really no ne-
cessity for those boys to get married
so that they may have a wife to do
their mending and sewing for them.
Scattered here and there throu
the pages that teem with newspLlJie
world’s doings, we find, ip^e look,
news about the boys^'inostly good
news, for the average up-to-date Amer-
ican boy is ar;pretty good sort of fel-
low after all. He is wideawake and
full of ginger and energy and enthusi-
asm and all the other characteristics
which make him a pretty good fellow
to know.
Yes, this would be a pretty lonesome
world if it were not for the boys, even
though they do get in the way once
in awhile and have a fashion of mess-
ing things up. They will get ovef
these habits soon enough, so give
them all the encouragement they de-
serve.
MERIT IN CHICORY.
U. S. Government Interested in the
Use of the Root.
It long ago was discovered that the ad-
dition of a small proportion of chicory to
coffee gave the combination the same
taste and flavor "as are found in the most
expensive Arabian mixtures selling up to
several dollars per pound. This fact ,has
been recognized for many years in Eu-
rope, but only recently has this fact
been recognized by American consumers.
Now the government is interested and
has conducted a searching inquiry into
the merits and uses of chicory. Recently
in Bulletin 19, U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, page 12, the government says:
“With the exception of only one case
it was found that a small quantity of
chicory added to good coffee improved the
flavor and reduced the peculiar nervous
effect of the coffee. It is supposed in the
single exception referred to, an inferior
grade of coffee was sold for the high
grade. In all these trials the purity of the
chicory was undoubted, it having been
sent by a prominent chicory firm for an-
alysis and experiment.
“Analysis of both the raw and the pre-
pared product have so far failed to reveal
the presence of any positively harmful
substance. Neither the National nor the
U. S. Dispensatories condemn its use.
‘Chicory,’ says the former, ‘is thought to
increased the appetite, promote the diges-
tion and stimulate the liver.’
“In France and Germany use is made
of chicory as an aperient for infants and
young children, mothers preferring it to
ordinary medicine on account of its be-
ing agreeable in flavor and harmless in
effect. Since no evil effects are apparent
when a mixture of chicory and coffee is
used, and since remarkable symptoms fol-
low the excessive use of straight coffee,
it appears that the use of chicory in mod-
eration is not fraught with greater evil
than the use of coffee. Either beverage
affects different temperaments in differ-
ent ways and it should be left to the indi-
vidual himself to choose chicory, coffee or
a mixture. The very general use of chic-
ory for the last one hundred and fifty
years, and the proportions which its cul-
tivation have assumed, indicates that it
is beneficial and agreeable to at least
some constitutions:”
THE PAINTING SEASON.
PERHAPS A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Physician Had Reason to Think He
Had Lost His Patient.
Henry Grimm, who was formerly
one of the prominent members of the
German-American society, tells a story
about a German friend of his who
was taken ill.
For many days the German was
close to death, but after a time he
showed improvement in condition.
The doctor told the German’s wife
that her husband might have any-
thing to eat that he liked.
The German expressed a desire for
LImburger cheese, and the wife, being
a generous woman and pleased at the
Improvement, and in order that her
husband might have a nibble at any
time he had a taste for it; put some
cheese in every room in the house.
It Is easy to imagine the aroma.
The next morning the doctor called
at the house, and as soon as he opened
the door he asked:
“When did he die?"—Hartford Post

Mrs. Sharp—Ah, “something” mere-

COFFEE EYES.
It Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.
PATENTS
Umbrella Saved Them.
While the gastronomic feats are in
your mind, listen to this tale of a
French cook. She was Mme. Dubrat
of the Rue du Dragon who was walk-
ing one day near the Seine when Mme.
Jallini, a dressmaker, fell into Jhe
river from the Quai Malaquais. Tn
jumped a man, but he came near to
drowning himself as the current bore
them away, when Mme. Dubrat, the.
cook, came to the spot. Mme. Dubrat
carc^d a big green umbrella and open-
ing it, in she jumped. She went bob-
bing off on the river, holding the green
umbrella above her as a float or para-
chute and grasping the man, and be
the girl, she pulled the whole? clammy
caravan to the bank. Mme. Dubrat’s
green umbrella saved the day, and the
cook of the Rue du Dragon is the hero-
ine of Paris. She is to get a medal
from the prefect of police.

Gloried in His Shame.
Uncle Jerry Peebles threw down hi*"
newspaper in disgust.
“1 see,” he said, “somel>ody has in-
vented ap onion that hasn't got any
smell to it. Why, blame it. all I eat
onions fur is to git the smell of ’em:’’
The curious effect of slow daily ppl-
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A- lady ^ in_ Oswego, Mont., experi-
enced a slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increase
ing weakness and shooting pains'
with wavy, dancing lines of light, sq
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at a time.
She says:
“This gradual failure of sight
alarfned me and I naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time I was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometime^ took that
form, and while I didn’t believe that
cbffee was the cause of my trouble, I
concluded to quit iff and see.
“I jtbok up Postum Food Coffee in
spite of the jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at a neigh-
bor’s was unsatisfactory. Well, I
made Postum strictly according to di-
rections, boiling it a little longer, be-
cause of our high altitude. The reazUt
was charming. I have now used Pos-
tum in place of coffee for about S
months and my eyes are well, never
paining me or showing any weakness.
I know to a certainty that the c&pae
of the trouble was coffee and the cure
was in quitting Itjand building up the
nervous system nh Postum, for that
was absolutely the only change I made
in diet and I took no medicine.
“My nursing baby has been kept in
a perfectly healthy state since I have
used Postum.
“Mf* -, a friend, discarded cof-
fee ahd took on Postum to see if he
could be rid of his dyspepsia and fre-
quent headaches. The change pro-
duced a ruf>st remarkable Improve-
ment quickly.”

Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test-
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in-
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa-
tience the White Lead can be com-
pletely reduced to one globule of metal-
lic iead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other so-
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood-
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request a blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test-
ed. With it will be sent a handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the “Dutch Boy Painter,” re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.
Out of the Mouths of Babes.
Little Arthur stood peering down
Into the countenance of his baby sis-
ter, whom the nurse was singing to
sleep.
“Say, nurse,” he finally whispered,
“It’s nearly unconscious, isn’t it?”
The nurse nodded in the affirmative,
and sang on.
“Then don’t sing any more, or you’ll
kill it." __

THE GOME AND SEE SIGN
/
Patient endurance attaineth to all
Things.—St. Teresa.
This sign is permanently attached
to the front of the main building of
the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine
Company, Lynn, Mass.
What Does This Sign Mean ?
It means that public inspection of
the Laboratory and methods of doing
business is honestly desired. It means
that there is nothing about the bus-
iness which is not “open'and above-
board.”
It means that a permanent invita-
tion is extended to anyone to come
and verify any and all statements
made in the advertisements of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound.
Is it a purely vegetable compound
made from roots and herbs — with-
out drugs ?
Come and See.
Do the women of America continu-
ally use as much of it as we are told ?
Come and See.
Was there ever such a person a3
Lydia E. Pinkham, and is there any
Mrs. Pinkham now to whom sick
woman are asked to write ?
Come and See.
Is the vast private correspondence
with sick women conducted by
women only, and are the letters kept
strictly confidential ?
Come and See.
Have they really got letters from
over one million, one hundred
thousand women correspondents ?
Come and See.
Have they proof that Lydia E.
Pinkham’s V ege table Compound has
cured thousands of these women ?
Come and See.
This advertisement is only for
doubters. The great army of women
who know from their own personal
experience that no medicine in the
world equals Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound for female ills
will still go on using and being ben-
efited by it; but the poor doubting,
suffering woman must, for her own
