The man who scoffs at an idea or doctrine which he does not fully un derstand has at least the courage to show where be stands. The gospel of Health has many con verts who formerly laughed at the Idea that coffeo and tea, for example, ever hurt anyone. Upon looking into the matter seriously, often at the sug gestion of a friend, such persons have found that Postum and a friend’s advice have been their salvation. "My sister was employed in an east ern city where she had to do calculat ing,’’ writes an Okla. girl. “She suf fered with headache until she was al most unfitted for duty. "Her landlady persuaded her to quit coffee and use Postum and in a few days she was entirely free from head ache.” (Tea Is Just as injurious as coffee because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "She told her employer about it. and on trying It, he had the same experience. "My father and I have both suffered much from nervous headache since I can remember, but we scoffed at the Idea advanced by my sister, that cof fee was the cause of our trouble. “However, we finally quit coffee and began using Postum. Father has had but one headache now in four years, due to a severe cold, and I have lost my headaches and sour stomach, which I am now convinced came from coffee. "A cup of good, hot Postum is sat isfying to me when I do not care to eat a meal. Circumstances caused me to locate in a new country and 1 feared I would not be able to get my favorite drink, Postum, but I was relieved to find that a full supply is kept here with a heavy demand for It" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

The? are deaalae. true, and full of hamaa Interest. Adv. jars. vvnnam iv. vanuerom., jr., is the happiest woman 111 New York. Why? She is about to lose a wager of $500,000. It isn’t often that people turn giddy with glee when they lose half million dollar bets, but Mrs. Vanderbilt is an exception to the rule. It happened this way. Two years ago Mrs. Vanderbilt began to cast about for some means of Inducing her nephew, Hermann Oelrichs, Jr., then 19, not to touch liquor or tobacco until he should become of age. Finally she decided to appeal to the sporting in stincts of the young man. “I’ll bet $500,000 you can’t refrain from the use of liquor and tobacco un til you become of age,” she told him. “I’ll take that bet!” said young Oel richs, before his aunt had time to with draw it. Mrs. Vanderbilt chuckled softly. She had hit upon the right plan. Now, one who has never been in touch with New York's 400 can hardly Imagine how strongly temptations press upon its young members. At 19 a youth in New York society has all the opportunities that send him to swift moral and physical ruin. He has much money to spend, money which he can use to buy a ticket straight to perdition. So young Oelrichs soon found that MRS. W. K. V ANDERBILT. nc; uau uuvcu ouiuo juu uw ms uauus. Many a time during the past two years he has had to sit for hours while every imaginable' kind of intoxicating drink was being consumed by his com panions. Then he has had to sit for more hours while his friends have sur rounded him with cigar and cigaret smoke. Yet he has persisted in his wager, and the result of his persistence is that he has grown stronger in mind and body; has become a better sports man and a more popular member of society. He had an auto race ■with young Vincent Astor. His car caught fire, but he kept going until ho won the race and then had to drive into the ocean to put out the Are. He has constructed a wireless ap paratus on the roof of his mother’s mansion on Fifth avenue, and has done other things to show that he is de veloping a genius for mechanics. Just now he is working hard as a law student at the University of Co lumbia. Everywhere he is known as “the rich boy who never smokes or drinks.” In December the half million falls due and no one doubts that young Oelrichs will get it. Working for it has made him a splendid young man, and that’s why his aunt will be glad to lose the money. SINGS IN TELEPHONE PUTS BABY TO SLEEP Steubenville, Ohio—Putting babies to sleep by telephone Is the latest Inno vation In social circles here. This method of quieting fretting youngsters whose mothers leave them at home while they enjoy bridge was Introduced by Mrs. Harry G. Zanler while attending an afternoon affair. The nurse phoned Mrs. Zanler that the baby had been crying for an hour, and that she could not quiet the child. Mrs. Zanler gave a few hurried In structions to the nurse. A moment later the guests were surprised to hear Mrs. Zanler singing a soft lullaby Into the transmitter. The baby had been placed In a basket on a stand near the phone, the receiver to Its ear. and It was lulled Into dream land by the soothing tones of the mother's voice. In five minutes she had resumed her place at the card table. Might Give Her Away. From the Baltimore American. "All of the party were weighed but Mabel, and she would not go on the scales." "Well, you know she Is trying to get up a reputation for losing flesh, and I guess she was afraid the scales would give her a weigh.” ROYALTY WELCOMES THE AMERICAN SETTLEH HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS,.THE DUKE OF CONNAUGHT, WELCOMES AMERICANS TO CANADA. It was a happy speech, that on that beautiful October day. the Duke of Connaught, Governor-Ocneral of Can ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. It was an opportune speech, heartful and resonant with good fellowship. And, as it was specially intended for American ears, the audience, com prised largely of so many American settlers in Canada, the time and place could not have been better chosen. It was in reply to an address of wel come tendered to him at the pretty city of Macleod, with the foothills of the Rockies as a setting, and the great wheat fields between, and in fact all around the place as the fore ground, that His Highness, true to the best interests of the country and to those of the Americans who choose to make Canada their home, said In part: "I am well aware that among those whom I am now addressing, there are a very great proportion who were not born under the British flag. Most of theBe will have realized by now that residence under that flag implies no disabilities. All we ask is that the laws of Canada should be obeyed. “With this provision every one is free to come and go, to marry, to live and to die as seems best to him, and as it pleases Providence. “We bring no pressure to bear on anyone to adopt the Canadian nation ality, for we do not value citizenship which is obtained under compulsion. “Our American cousins are welcome from over the border. Thrice we wel come our Canadian and British broth ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft er living under the Stars and Stripes. “History is repeating itself. For many years hundreds of young Brit ishers have sought fortune in the western States. Time has brought about a change, and the tide has set in the other direction, bringing across the frontier numbers of our neighbors to whom we are glad to return hos pitalities. “One of the chief dispensers of such hospitality in proportion to its popu lation has, as we have said, changed its character from an Important cat tle town to a thriving wheat producing area. “What it has lost from the pictur esque point of view, it has gained in the material side, and I wish, in con clusion, to express the hope that the prosperity which has evinced itself here for the past ten years, may con tinue unabated in the future." There is no reason why at a hun dred places on this educative, lnstruct i^fe and Interesting trip of His Royal Highness he might not have express ed himself in the same terms, and on each occasion, addressed large gather ings of Americans who are now set tled on the prairies of Western Cana> da.—Advertisement Stretching It Some. The men were boasting about their rich kin. Said one: "My father has a big farm in Connecticut. It is so big that when he goes to the bam on Monday morning to milk the cows he kisses us all goodby, and he doesn’t get back till the following Saturday.” “Why does it take him so long?” the other asked. “Because the barn is so far away from the house.” “Well, that may be a pretty big farm, but compared to my father’s farm In Pennsylvania your father's farm ain't no bigger than a city lot!” “Why, how big is your father's farm?” “Well, it’s so big that my father sends young married couples out to the barn to milk the cows, and the milk is brought back by their grand children.” Calumet Ends “Bad Luck.’' Remember when you were a youngster, what a trial baking day was? If Mother was lucky, everything went finely—but If she had "bad luck" her cakes and her pies and her bread were failures. Her success In baking seemed to depend al most altogether on "luck.” Nowadays there’s no such thing as "baking luck.” At least, not in the kitch ens of the up-to-date cooks. Simply be cause Calumet Baking Powder has smash ed that old time Idea. It has made bak ing sure of success. It has made Inex perlenoed cooks able to bake perfectly, and day after day It Is saving hundreds of dollars* worth of time and materials by doing away with costly failures. Calumet Baking Powder Is the purest baking powder made -and guaranteed not only to BE pure, but to stay pure in the CAN and In the BAKING. Calumet has twice been officially Judged the BEST baking powder made—receiving the high est awards at the World’s Pure Food Ex positions in Chicago (1307) and in Paris (1912). Adv.

A PENALTY OF AQE The tendency of advancing year* to restrict activity and exercise Is r» sponsible for the constipated condition of most elderly people. The wear of years Impairs the action of the bow els and the digestive organs are more sensitive to the demands upon them and rebel more quickly. Cathartics and purgatives are violent and dras tic In their action and should not be used to correct constipation. A mild, yet positively effective remedy, and one that is recommended by physi cians as well as by thousands who have used It, Is the compound of sim ple laxative herbs with pepsin pre scribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell over thirty years ago and now sold by drug gists everywhere under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Dr. Caldwell wants everyone troubled with constipation to try Syrup Pepsin and will send a trial bottle, free of charge, to all who write for It. Address Dr. W. B.
