While this Is not strictly true, and a circus with a large herd of elephants might give a very Inferior performance In the ring, these Interesting animals are un doubtedly the backbone of the travel Ing menagerie. They are always source of amusement to the crowds who throng the circus tents and who get keen enjoyment out of a bag of peanuts and a swaying trunk that aeema built for handling mors satis fying forage; but, apart from this, they are utilised In the performance In auch a way as to establish a place for them selves on the program among the other actors.’’ Those who attend the performances of the Barnum A Bailey circus, when the big show exhibits In Atlanta Octo ber 19-20, will be aetonlahed at the feats of the trained elephants. The three rings are entirely tilled with the great beasts. The acts In the end rings are notable, but the battle scene pre sented In the middle ring by the eight little elephants is the most remarkable exhibition of the kind ever seen In this country. The Asiatic method of firing rifles and cannon from the backs of elephants la strikingly Illustrated. Ele phants are also used to striking ad vantage In the gorgeous “Peace" spec tacle. The baby elephant and mother aleo attract a good deal of attention. Among other trained creatures are pigs, dogs, horses, sea lions, monkeys and sheep. Several of the clowns use trained animals In their performances and, the effect Is very ludicrous. A great circus performance, a splendid menagerie end an exciting revival of the old Roman hippodrome racee are features of this year's show. Every Day She Said Early in the morning before dressing, “Now I must quit drinking coffee, I know it causes my weak heart and the over increasing nervousness. These troubles get steadi ly worse and what will the end be?” But when the cof fee comes on at breakfast she says, “Well, just this one cup,” and so it goes from day to day the same old round and the bodily ailments growing worse as time goes on. The coffee habit acts like a personal demon, ever ready to offer excuses and to steadily push his victim one step down each day and laugh at the good resolutions. But there’s a way aud a sure way to kill off that de- men. Order the Coffee kept off the table and Postum Food Coffee served in its place. Then one can have the hot breakfast beverage with the deep seal brown of cof fee. changing to a rich golden brown when cream is added, and, with a flavor all its own, the Postum comes as a strong friend iu need. The change iu feeling will begin within a day or two, gene rally the first day. The drug of coffee (caffeine) has been cut off and the body and nerves relieved, then comes, the, sturdy feeling of new life aud new healthy cells being built in from the rebuilding food in Postum. Gradually the old aches and ails disappear and the joy and swing of health comes again. You can pipve it iu your own ease. “There's'a Reason” for POSTUM DR. C. M.
