A bright young lady tells how sh caino to be acutely sensitivo as to tho tasto of co ff oo : "My health had been very poor for several years," she says. "I loved coffee and drank it for breakfast, but only learned. by accident, as it were, that it was tho causo of tho constant, dreadful headacheB from which I suf fered overy day, and of tho nervous ness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything I ato gavo mo acute pain. (Tea is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, tho same drug found in coffee.) "My condition finally got so serious that 1 was advised by my doctor to go to a hospital. Thero they gavo me what I supposed was coffee, and I thought It was tho best I ever drank, but I havo slnco learned it was "Postum. I gained rapidly and came home in four weeks. ""Somehow tho coffee wo used at homo didn't tasto right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank In the hospital, and nil brought back tho dreadful headaches and tho 'sick-all-over' feeling. "One day I got a package of Postum, and tho first tasto of It I took, I said 'that's tho good coffee we had In tho hospital. I have drank It over slnco, and eat Grape-Nuts for mj breakfast. I havo no moro headaches, and feel better than i havo for years." Name given upon request. Head th famous littlo book, "Tho Road to WelV vlllo," in pkgs. "Thore'B n reason."

What Is meant by storm water? Storm water 1b a word that Is inten ded to refer to all rainfall that does not sink Into tho soil. Storm water also applies to that kind of water that comes from melting snows in tho mountains. The names probably started from tho torcentR of water that flow down stroams after heavy rains nnd that comes down many stroamB In the spring nnd early sum mer from molting snows, but how over It started, It signifies all water from rain or snow that does not sink Into tho soil, wrltcB H. M. Madison In tho Texar Stockmnn nnd Farmer. It will readily bo seen that almost all storm water is of tho very best kind for Irrigation, tho only exception being that which Aowb over alkali or othor mlnoral lands and becomo filled with substances that aro Injurious to tho soil. Tho problem Is, thereforo, how to catch this storm water and hold It so It can be used in those seasons when It is most needed. Many ways havo been devised for this purpose and most nil of them havo been suc cessful at certain places. Ono method may bo good nt one place, but be caUBo'of tho kind of soil or subsoil may be bad at another. Or on ac count of the lay of the land ono plan may bo good In a certain section and useless In another. All the ways of using storm water will not be de scribed in this week's issue, but a very simplo form will be outlined. This is a form that almoBt overy farmer can uso to advantage, yet as a substitute for the best forms of Irrigation it is poor. All It requires In the way of cash outlay Is tho amount to bo paid to a civil engineer to contour tho land. This Is simply ascertaining the shape and fllzo of lands that are on the samo level. There might bo ton acres in ono trnct, flvo acres in another and fifty in still another. Tho shapes ot theso different tracts might bo very different. But when tho engineer has run tho lines and given tho Bizo and shapo of the tracts that are on tho same level, thero aro little dams or lovoes to bo thrown up along the lines tho engineer has run. This can bo dono with a team and plow In tho samo way an ordinary head land 1b made In plowing. A hoo nnd spado can bo used afterward to rnka tho dirt Into littlo breaks and to mako tho leveo hold water. In tho winter and spring when tho heavy rains come theso littlo levees keep tho wn ter from running off, and as tho lovels havo been run makes tho water stand somewhat evenly on any ono of the tracts. This water in a few hours or days will soak into the soil and wet it down deep. Instead of It running off through- streams and rivers to tho Oulf of Mexico, It is kept right in tho land. By and by, when summer comes and thero Is a drought the excess of molsturo that was held in the land from tho winter nnd spring ralnB helps to sustain tho crop. It will bo readily seen that plants with deep roots aro best adapted to this kind of farming. It will also bo seen that when tho dry season comes it 1b de cidedly better to uso the principles of dry farming, especially Is It good to stir tho soil frequently, but only to shallow depths. At tho close ot tho spring rain season, it Is also well to roll or In some way pack tho ground, for tho reason that this tends to prevent tho molsturo in tho soil from evaporating. Later during the time when tho soil is 'stirred frequent ly only to shallow depths, it will be found that the nearer to dust tho very top soil is kept thq less will bo the evaporation of tho moisture and tho better will bo tho results. SWEET CLOVER IS NOT WEED Rank Growth Is Mowed Down and Used as Mulch Around Orchard Trees, Adding Nitrogen. Sweet clover, a much-condemned plant, is at last coming into Its own. For years farmers have looked upon it as an obnoxious weed and its natlvo habitat has been neglected roadsides and waste lands. Now agricultural science Is beginning to see great pos sibilities In this plant. Tt Is highly recommended as a green manuring crop, and In "Kentucky and Illinois socio farmers aro growing it in tho place of alfalfa as a feed for live stock. Several of the experiment sta tions are making a study of Its cul ture and uso. Thsro aro two varie ties of the sweet clover, or melllotus, as It is rightly called, tho white and tho yellow. Tho white makes a ranker growth nnd 1b recommended for plowing under as a green manuro, while tho yellow Is grown for forage. The farmers of tho eastern and southern Btates aro making tho greatest uso of this crop, especially for renovating wornout lands. Ono leading seed firm in Ohio reports that tho demand for melllotus seed has In creased 125 per cent during tho last year. Tho seed sells at tho samo price as alfalfa seed. It will grow on nearly any kind of land and nn aver age crops of seed is about ten bushels per acre. Prof. V II. Davis of the collego of agriculture, Ohio Stato university, Is growing whito sweet clover as a cover crop In his orchards. The rank growth is mowed down and used as n mulch around tho treos. Being a le gume, nitrogen is added to tho soil through tho action of tho bacteria growing on the roota of tho plant, and the dctay ot tho crop supplies large quantities of humus. God Made Real Br REV. J. H. RALSTON. Serretur ( CcKmpooJrac Drttal, Moody DiUc loilitute, Qiicaoo TI2XT "He endured ns seeing Hltn who Is lnvUlblo."-Hob 11 27. Tho confessed ntbcl8t in these days is practical ly unknown. Tho man who declines to acknowledge God calls himself a materialist, or rationalist, nnd in those terms en deavors to shield himself from be ing called an ntholst. But the man who boars tho badgo ot a believer In God often comoB very far short of realizing God. HosayB God 1b a proper conception. Ho 1b more than thinkable, but ho Is not real, it Is with such that we would like to think for a fow minutes, be causo the words of tho toxt nro n statement of historical facts Mosea saw God. Religion nowadays Is realistic, or It Is nothing. Tho difficulty with most Is. that God being spirit, ho cannot bq mado KB real as if ho woro matorlal, We would note that tho thought that God Is Bplrlt docs not preclude his being made manifest In phyBlcnl form If ho choosoB, something which ho has chosen to do in tho past, although wo cannot believe that in tho text such physical manifestation was lri mind. Not only has God been realized In the past, but he Is being realized by vast multitudes today, and only be cause of this Is the sinful world borno with a littlo longer. This manifesta tion, however, Is spiritual. What is it to realize anything? Tho dictionary says: "To perceive as a reality; to apprehend tho moaning, reality, or real naturo of; feel or ap preciate fully and vividly; and think of as real." Can God bo thus real ized? This depends upen whether tho spiritual Is as real as tho material. Tho great pregamaflsts, many i f tho leading Btatosmen, and men called to tho highest offices in tho land, are in tho lead of tho contention that faith In a spiritual God, a full realization ot God, 1b absolutely essential to tho greatest accomplishments. How prove reality In spirit? Just as you prove the roallty of electricity, and tho agency that enables men to send messages across tho wide seas without vlsiblo or tangible connec tions. Thero is a rcallzntlm of tho fact of the subtle thing whatever it may be. Why not apply tho samo prin ciple to God? Man should realize a spiritual God becnuso ho is hlmBelt spiritual, this term not being used hero In tho strict evangelical sense. Moses realized God be saw him. It a man sees a thing Itiio to him real, and while that Is not absolutely so, it "is so generally accepted aB trup, that God in his word uses sight to Illus trate tho truth that is hero presented. If we accept tlw proposition that Moses In somo senso saw God, how much Is that fact worth? Was Moses a visionary, a mero enthusiast or sen timentalist? Was that tho concep tion of Angelo, as ho carved blm In marble? Was that tho conception that lawmakers In all times havo had ot him as tho greatest law-giver of his tory? Was that the conception tha? those who have studied him as a constructive statesman, making pro vision for prlvnto and public Ufa, pure sanitation, and tho most practical ed ucation? Was the writer of tho text carried away, by mmtlraent and hab itually given to exaggeration, or was he considered a great thinker, a man of religious and spiritual wisdom, and' with nn Intellect to which refer ence Is mado by tho enemies of Chris tianity as tho greatest of tho Chris tian era? With these two groat men presenting this truth, should it not be accepted? So many men and wom en testify to the fact that they havo realized God, that if there was any possibility of showing Uicbo that they were mistaken the wall would bo that of tho lower world. Oliver Crom well, Gustavus Adolphus, Chinese Gor don, und others In tho clash of bat tle havo clearly recognized God Man says, "I would like to realize God, I would llko to practice bis pres ence. If I knew how." Wo must first accept that the testimony ot tho spir itual sense in man is Just as rcllablo as that of tho physical. As God has recognized that man must have something objective beforo him, he has given his own son to become tho historical manifestation of himself, what a leading minister In Chicago a fow days gao called tho Christmas manifestation. Study God In tho face of Jesus Christ, and ho becomes real, and then tho spirit of man yearns to havo communion with him. It a man realizes God, what re sults? Of the many results wo may suggest that bo loses rear, In which thero is torment. This explains tho Joyful singing of hymns as tho mar tyrs went to the stake. Man gets power. Did not God uso Dwlght L. Moody, a man fully surrendered to him, to revolutionize Christendom In an Important sense? Man as ho real izes God rises in all those qualities that God gavo him in his creation, 'both intellectual and moral.
