THREE OF A KIND
Dropped Coffee, Picked Up Postum, and
Health.
The harmful action of caffeine?the
driicr in rnffpp nn<i tpn?is tho cnmo in all
cases, it is only a matter of degree.
One person may suffer more in the way
of heart palpitation, sour stomach, nervousness.
or insomnia, than another, but
the poison is there all the time, if one
continues to drink coffee or tea.
A Fenn. lady and two friends learned
the truth about coffee in the same way.
The lady writes: ?
"About.four years ago I had an attack
of nervous prostration and a great deal
of trouble with my heart. Sometimes
feared I was dying, and my doctor seemed
unable to find out the cause of my
trouble.
"I would frequently wake at night with
these attacks and the doctor said there
was some constant irritation of the
nerves, and he began to think some organic
disease was at work.
"One day I was told of a case very
similar to mine, and that the woman
could find no relief until she stopped using
coffee. I did not like the idea of
giving up coffee, for I was very fond of
it.
"Having read frequently of Postum, I
determined to try it. It certainly made
a great change in me. Those spells left
me entirely.
"My most intimate friend was afflicted
as I was. In fact the similarity of our
afflictions drew us together In the first
place. When she saw the great change
Postum had made in me she tried it and
was benefited as I was.
"The beneficial effects of Postum on us
two induced a neighbor to follow our example
and so we are three of a kind who
can't say enough in praise of Postum."

ROSY AND PLUMP
Good Health from Right Food.
"It's not a new food to me," remarked
a Va. man, in speaking of Grape-Nuts.
"About twelve months ago my wife
was in very bad health, could not keep
anything on her stomach. The Doctor
recommended milk half water but It was

I "A friend of mine told me one day to
try Grape-Nuts and cream. The result
was really marvelous. My wife soon regained
her usual strength and today is as
rosy and plump as when a girl of sixteen.
"These are plain facts and nothing
could say in praise of Grape-Nuts woul
exaggerate in the least, the value of this
great food."

"Did Santy Claus bring you everything

Boston, "that I expressed no wish as to

Santa Claus exists only in the imaginations
of the mentally deformed, and the

interested in the study of disease

Dr. Thomas A. Hoyt, the Philadelphia
pastor, entertained President Patton of
Princeton and other eminent men at dinner.
The guests were speaking in praise
of a sermon the minister had just preach
ed. Dr. Hoyt's young son was sitting at
the table; and President Patton, turning
to him said: "My boy, what did you think
of your father's sermon? I saw you listening
intently to it." And all listened
to hear what reply the lad would make.
"I guess it was very good," said he, "but
there were three mighty fine places
where he could have stopped."?Saturday
Evening Post.
At a dinner during the Episcopal convention
at Richmond a young lady sitting
near the bishop of London said to
him, "Bishop, I wish you would set
my mind at rest as to the similarity.
or dissimilarity between your country
and ours on one point. Does the butterfly
because the tomato can?" The
bishop laughed heartily at this vivacious
sally. Not so a young Englishman of
his party, who, after dinner, sought his
host, "I want to know, you know," said
he, "about that joke of Miss B.'s. She
asked if the butter flew because the tomatoes
could.?Pray tell me what the
point is."
A joke unconsciously perpetrated by
the vicar of St. John's, Keswi?..c, ought to
rank high in the annals of pulpit humor.
Before the service started the vicar was
handed a lady s watch which had been
found in the churchyard. After making
me cusiumary announcements, says the
North Mail, he referred to the finding
of the watch, which, he stated, was in
the vestry awaiting an owner, and then
solemnly said, "Hymn No.-' 110: 'Lord,
her watch Thy church is keeping. "
Chinese Christiana use names for different
religious sects, as we do, to describe
what they stand for. But Chinese
often see as most prominent traits
those which seem to us less important.
They call Quakers the No-wash Society,
the Anglicians, the Little-wash and the
Baptists the Largee-wish. Their name
for Congregationalism means One-manas-goo*-as-another;
for Methodists, Handshakers;
and for Presbyteriama, Womencan't-speak-in-publlc.
