Offended Her Taste.
Apropos of the amusing comments
on academic costume that so often re
veal popular ignorance of the symbol
ism of hoods and gowns is the follow
ing story, told by a contemporary:
“A friend of mine.'' says the narra
tor, “is a curate in a local suburban
parish. Some little time back he went
up to Oxford to take his master of
arts degree, and the following Sunday
appeared in the pulpit resplendent in
his new master of arts hood. A few
nights later he was dining in the house
of a prominent parishioner, and was
amazed to hear his hostess pleasantly
remark:
“ ‘Mr. X.. that new hood of yours
doesn’t suit you at all. I can't imag
ine why you. with your complexion
chose red of all colors in the world.
A myrtle green or an old gold would
have suited you much better, and
■ would have been far more effective.
!Tt>u men never know how to dress
I yourselves.’ ”

May Revolutionize River Traffic.
The first self-propelled freight barge,
designed to carry heavy cargoes of
freight on the Missisippi river, is vis
iting all the large cities from St. Louis
to New Orleans. It is known as Inco
I, and is the first of a $9,000,000 fleet
being built.
The barge Is 43 feet wide, 240 feet
long and is propelled by four 80-horse
power gasoline engines. It has a
capacity of 1,600 tons. It is believed
the new type of barge will revolution
ize freight traffic on the Mississippi
river. Similar barges have been put in
operation recently on the Warrior riv
er, in Alabama, hauling coal to the sea
board at an extremely low rate.

THOUSANDS RECOMMEND THIS
RELIABLE KIDNEY MEDICINE
I wish to state that in the seven years
that I have sold Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root I have never known of a single cus
tomer who did not feel satisfied with the
results obtained from its use and speak
very- favorably regarding Swamp Root.
They always come back and ask for it and
that in itself is a sufficient guarantee of
the value of the preparation in the trou
bles for which it is intended. It is a splen
did kidney medicine and I take Lapp, ness

“His Own Lawyer.”
Over and over again, the wisdom
of the adage, “A man who is his own
lawyer has a fool for a client," and
the understanding that inspired the
injunction, "Physician, heal thyself,"
are established in the courts. Every
lawyer is familiar with many instances
in which the wills of distinguished
jurists have been set aside because
they were improperly drawn, and it is
a matter of pretty common knowledge
that few doctors can diagnose their
own ailments.
Another exemplification now ap
pears in the conflict about the will
of the late Dr. Austin Flint. He was.
perhaps, more frequently employed as
an expert witness as to testamentary
capacity than any other alienist in
the country. Question of mental fit
ness, of intent, of motive and of the
other attributes of a “sound-disposing
mind” were before him constantly.
Yet he drew his own will so ambigu
ously, so obscurely, that his executors
have been compelled to invoke the aid
of the court to determine what the
learned testator meant.—Richmond
Times-Dispatch.
Thrashing Them Out.
Mis. Boardman Harriman said at a

Childhood’s spirit should not be

spoiling, too.
‘‘In short, I believe that, if a son
begins to sow wild oats, his parents
should begin thrashing."

The Delight
of Children
The self-developed, inner-flavour of New Post
Toasties bear a unique attraction for the kiddies—
they even like them dry from the package for their
lunches. A box of Toasties provides “eats” that will
delight the children.
New Post Toasties sire usually served with cream
and sugar, in which form the flavour is more pro
nounced and the flakes more delicious. These New
Toasties do not “chaff” or crumble in the package
and they don’t mush down in cream—both common
defects of old-fashioned “com flakes.”
Then, too, notice the tiny bubbles on the flakes,
produced by the quick, intense heat of a new patented
process of making which imparts delightful crispness
and a substantial body to the flakes.
New Post Toasties are a vast improvement over
any old-style “corn flakes.”
