THE EARLY MORNING
THE ROMANCE OF WORDS.
THKttR Is an Invisible, Inspiring
force In the curly morning nlr,
drifting l(vn from (ho hills,
Bwoot wltli the Incense of tin; dawn,
which vitalizes everything It touches,
from the nod and the sea to the souls
of humans.
It Ik the birth of n now day, open
ing Its eyes like n new-born chlltl to
a new world. livery atom, every
sphere nml every crenture Is fnclng
a threshold that has never been
crossed.
The old quiverfuls of arrows hnve
liecn Miot away.
Time Is handing out another sup
lily, selecting the sharpest and strong
est for the hardy bund of youth, anil
urging youth to do Its best, pointing
to the dazzling paths that lead up
and up to Arcadia.
.Art' you, young man nml young
.woman, giving proper heed to Time's
'friendly admonitions?
Do you In the early morning of y,ur
life realize the blessed privileges that
nre yours?
Do you comprehend that this Is the
liour In which you must begin your
march over' the hills by every bowery
mad, toward a loftier peak, which In
your delightful dreams you are pic
turing of wealth, and power and fame?
If you do, gird your quiver secure
ly, took carefully about you and march
on to the uplands nearer heaven, hold
ing flrmly all the while to faith and
Iiope nUd honor, as you go.
Let not the lure of the valleys, the
nhadu of the trees nor the purring
waters call you back, when the sun
approaches the meridian, uud the day
waxes warm and drowsy.
And at high noon, when the In
clination comes to seek relaxation, and
to Hide-step Into llelds of Idle amuse
ments, mind that you do not slip. nml
go tumbling down among the failures.
If such desire confront you, sum
mon all your resolution, all the fine
virtues that within you He,) and face
the wu.v to Arcadia, though the out
lines of the golden domes of the city
do not yet appear.
At this moment, you arc at the turn
ing point, when a single deviation
from high resolve, a step or two from
the, course you hnvo been so faithfully
pursuing, may ruin your career and
blast your fondest hopes.
Ity passing the noontime of life In
safety, you will soon come upon nn
easier path, and And no difficulty In
wending your wny homeward, where
the ring and the fatted calf will be
found waiting for you, with tho glad
smiles of loving friends.

"TAMMANY"
WHEN political reports stnte
that such-and-such a per
son Is tho "Tammnny can
didate" or that "the Tammnny
organization Is bnck of n certain
move," the expression Is under
stood to refer to a prominent
organization In New York but
the fact that It receives Its name
from a noted Indlnn chief Is
overlooked.
Tnmanend, the chief in ques
tion, was the ancient, wise and
friendly bend of the Delaware
tribe of Indians who, for want
of a better candidate, was
"canonized" by the soldiers of
thp American Revolution as the
patron saint of the new country.
The Tammany organization
dates from May V2, 1780, when
It was formed for benevolent'
and social purposes, but even
tually became nn Important
political body, formally chartered
In 1805 and opposing the so
called "aristocratic"' Society of
the Cincinnati. It was essen
tially anti-federalist or demo
cratic In Its character nnd Its
chief founder was William
Mooncy, an American uphol
sterer of Irish extraction. The
grand sachem and the thirteen
sachems typified the president
nnd the gove-nors of the thir
teen original colonies.
The Tnmmany Society today
Is a churltable and coclni organ
ization, entirely distinct from
I he general committee of the
Tammany polltlcnl body, which
cannot use Tammany hall
without tho consent of the
society.

solo by Miss Wlllet, who on many oc

There followed nn Impatient pause;

children, that Miss Wlllet has con

sing. She Is willing, however, to re

hear It. Do you?"
Several heads in the rear of the

No person whose nerves are continually
irritated, whose appetite and digestion are dis
turbed, or who doesn't sleep well has more than
half his normal chance for success in life. For
weakness, debility, anemia and general lack of
tone are a serious handicap to anybody.
Those who drink tea or coffee are often suf
ferers from these conditions. Tea and coffee
contain caffeine, a substance which has a decided
stimulant action on the nerves and brain cells.
Each cup of strong coffee contains about as
large a dose of caffeine as your doctor would
ordinarily give to a very sick person.
You can readily see that the effect of giving
this stimulant regularly to a well person might
, finally have a tendency to make him sick.
If you want to avoid a very common cause
of Irritation and enjoy restful sleep, good digestion,
and all the feeling of vigor and robust endurance
that comes to healthy, normal people, quit tea
and coffee, and drink Postum, instead. It is a rich,
coffee-like cereal beverage perfectly delicious!
Order Postum from your grocer today. Drink
this fragrant, aromatic beverage and see how
much better you'll feel able to do more with
out becoming fatigued as thousands have dis
