decreased very rai Idly thereafter.

sions of civil and Mexican war veter

month, while widows of veterans of
the civil and Mexican wars and the

widows of veterans who have
riled again and have become wid
ows a second time or have been di
vorced from their second husbands

against them morally. Civil war
nurses also receive $50 a month.
The rate of pension fixed In the
new act for Indian war veterans is
1;.ised to $30 a month and for their
widows to $20 a month.

Bil.le and enjoyed reading and study
ing it. About 12 years ago I began
memorizing certain chapters and
stories, without any intention of going
through the entire Bible, but the
more 1 memorized, the easier it be
came. 1 do not have an unusual
memory. I simply learned because I
worked hard and long at my task.”
Yesterday, Rev. M. Halley recited
the entire story of the crucifixion of
Christ, at three churches, l^ast Sun
day he recited the story of the na
tivity of Christ.

Why the
“Morning Grouch?”
Many people awake feeling irritable and nervous—
and are annoyed at trifles they wouldn’t notice at any
other time.
This nervous, irritable feeling lasts until after they
have had their cup of coffee—sometimes it takes the
second cup.
The reason for this is simple; their nerves are crying
out for the caffeine contained in the coffee they crave.
And now, if this “strikes home,” ask yourself why
you should not quit a habit that makes you nervous
and irritable.
Be your natural self; try doing without coffee for a
week or so—and drink rich, fragrant Postum instead.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage—refreshing and
satisfying, yet absolutely free from caffeine or other
harmful ingredients.
Postum comes in two forms:—Instant Postum (in tins)
prepared instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages, for those who prefer to make
the drink while the meal is being prepared) made by boiling
fully twenty minutes.

(nventor Transmits Color Pic
tures in Primary Parts
by Radio.
Salt Lake City, Utah—A step in
-he development of the transmission
if pictures by radio lias been taken
yy Le Roy J. Leishman of Ogden,
L’tah. Hts device enables bint to
ransmit paintings in color, although
die result is still rather crude.
In the transmission of black and
white photographs, Mr. Leishman
idopted the photoengraving process
if taking an image of the picture
hrough a screen of dots. The va
rious "humps" on this place formed
in electrical contact when a stylus
■onnectcd to the transmitter was
lassed over them. These impulses
were sent through the air as dashes.
On the receiving end a recording
itylus would touch the paper when
he dashes were received and make a
nark corresponding to the mark at
he transmitting end.
In color transmission, Mr. Leish
nan divided his picture into parts,
me part for eacli primary color. Col
ired carbons were used at the recelv
ng end, and the picture was trans
nitted in parts.
For instance, if a picture consisting
if red. yellow t and blue w'ere to be
sent, the red would be transmitted
list. A sheet of red carbon paper
would be placed over the recording
sheet at the receiving end, and the
transmitting stylus would pass over
mly the red section. Then the red
carbon would be changed for a yellow
ind tho transmitter would pass over
the yellow sections. This process
would be followed with blue. Where
the colors overlapped, shadings and
other colors would appear at the re
ceiving end.—Radio Digest.
