Mrs. Frank Stroebe, R. F. D. 1, Apple-' ton, Wis., writes: “I began using Peru na a few months ago, when my health and strength were all gone, and I was nothing but a nervous wreck, could not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt no desire to live. Peruna made me look at lifo in a different light, as I bogan to regain my lost strength. “I certainly think Peruna is without a rival as a tonic and strength builder. ” Probably from the viewpoint of the man in the moon a balloon doesn’t come up to his expectations.

The Most Delicious Eggs. Many a Chinaman in New York would like to have those addled eggs of Andrew Carnegie’s Minorca hens. By a son of Confucius nothing is (more prized than an addled egg. We Americans use the term with great (license, as if it meant the same as rotten egg. Far from it. An egg j addled is merely in the earliest stage of decomposition. The French epi cure hangs his meats, poultry, game, flh, etc., until they are almost “in ,sincere.” All offensive odors disap pear in the cooking. A rotten egg is •one of the foul things of earth; but la stale egg, properly prepared, beats all the “strictly freshes” ever brought to a table. , I want to claim this invention and /should like to have it patened, trade marked and copyrighted. Finding it Impossible to eat and enjoy a soft ,boiled egg nowadays on account of •the toughness and preponderance of the white, I instructed my chef to give each egg a thorough shaking be fore cooking. The idea was to mix perfectly in the shell the white and 'yellow. It was exquisitely success ful. You could never imagine any thing better. A few days ago I bought a milkshake machine, such as may be seen in all public resorts in •summer. Instead of milk in the glass, I filled the latter with cot ton and put in the egg.

The wife writes: “No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was more helpless than I, a coffee captive. Yet there were Innumerable warnings—waking from a troubled sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at times dizzy and.out of breath, attacks of palpitation of the heart that fright ened me. “Common sense, reason, and my better Judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was so disarranged that my physician ordered ‘no more coffee.’ “He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum but disliked it, because, as we learned later, it was not made right. “Determined this time to give Postum a fair trial, I prepared it ac cording to directions on the pkg.— that is, boiled it 15 minutes after boiling commenced, obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich, snappy flavour similar to cofTee. When cream and sugar were added it was not only good but delicious. “Noting its beneficial effects In me the rest of the family adopted it—all except my husband, who would not admit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during which I drank Poetum two or three .times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: ‘I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement is so apparent—you have such fine color— that 1 propose to give credit where credit is due.' And now we are coffee-slaves no longer." Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich.
