"For two weeks at a time I hare tnken no food but skim milk , for solid food would ferment and cause such , a pressure of gaa and such distress that I could hardly breathe at times , also ex cruciating pain and heart palpitation and all the time I was so nervous and rest less. "From childhood up I had been a cor- fee and tea drinker and for the past 20 yeurs I have been trying different physfc- 'cians , but could get only temporary re lief. Then I read an article telling how some one had been cured by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum and it seem ed FO pleasant just -to read about good health I decided to try Postum in place of coffee. I I made the change from coffee to Postum and such a change there is in me tbat I don't feel like the same person. We all found Postum delicious and like it hetter than coffee. My health now i wonderfully good. "A-5 soon as I made the shift from cof fee to Postum I got better and now all of my troubles are gone. I am fleshy , my food assimilates , the pressure in the chest and palpitation are all gone , my bowels are regular , have no more stomach ach trouble and my headaches are gone. Remember I did not use medicines o& all just left off coffee and drank Postum teadily. " Name given by Postum C * . Battle Creek , Mich.

The Princess attached little value to articles of lux ury , unless they were connected in her memory with some distinct trait of human kindness. In writing of her In "Personal Reminiscences of Prince Bismarck , " Mr. Whitman says that In her unceasing care for her family and her guests the Princess showed to what extent a wife , a mother , a mis tress of a household can sacrifice her own convenience in identifying herself with the wants and wishes of others. No general In command could sur vey a battlefield more completely than Princess Bismarck controlled a dinner- table. She was in supreme command and overlooked everything. Thoie was at times something not far from heroic in this , seeing that she was often hardly able to keep awake. There she would sit , not touching a morsel. Yet in spite of her suffering from asthma , at times scarcely able to draw n breath , her eye was everywhere , controlling , ministering , seeing that everybody was attended to and satisfied fied/ * If the conversation ut table turned on a fresh delicacy of the season , era a new dish , or the predilection ex pressed by a guest , the chances were that one or the other would make its appearance the next day. While at table she would whisper .1 few words to one of her servants to give a mes- BHge to the cook to add some item to the very dinner in progress. Nor was it only from a desire to humor the taste of her husband that Princess Bismarck showed such vigi lance in controlling the wheels of the ilomestic machinery. All her house hold , domestic servants included , were the objects of her constant solicitude. NEW MODEL FISH TRAP As the old saying , "Every man to his taste. " still holds good , and some fish ermen Avill swear by genuine live bait only , a Xc w England inventor proposes to provide it for them as easily as pos sible ; nonce , the ingenious little fish trap shown in the accompanying pic ture. Its principle is similar to that of the large fish nets used on the sea shore , where the fish find tlieirway through openings at the apex of a V-shaped net into a large holding net. In this case the tubular receiving net has glass cones at either end , with small opening at the apex , through which the fish find their way Into the BATCHES LIVE BAIT FOR FISHERMAN. interior. It may be wise to place a small quantity of bait inside the trap , which the fish will quickly spy through the transparent cones , working their way toward it until they find the open ings and pass in. It will be seen that one of the cones is tilted on its pivot pins , this feature affording a handy means of access to the interior , or enabling the cone to be reversed to drop the contents of the trap into it for selection and assorting. If the trap is supplied with the necessary bait and immersed for a short time along the shore of a stream or lake , it will be found to contain the live minnows sought for , according to the inventor.

Why the Yonnff Doctor Had to B-si- bard His Own House. They had been married only a short while. He was a young and struggling physlcia'i , and she a very sweet , de voted little wife , but very much afraid of burglars , so that when it did hap pen that the doctor had a sick call during the wee hours , they resorted to all means that she might know that It was he who wished to enter the house upon his return and not the dreaded night prowlers. The calls were not many , but some how they had never hit upon a success ful plan until the wife exclaimed one morning at breakfast : "I have it now , Jack ; after this you knock five times and let there be a minute between each knock ; then I'll be sure to know it Is yourself. " Jack , so the story goes , was not in favor of having to wait five minutes to gain entrance to his own house , but ever anxious to please , agreed to the arrangement , and one night last week bad occasion to test it Someone was dying , the mes senger said , and wanted a doctor im mediately ; would he come ? Where upon Jack tumbled into his clothes and in the confusion didn't hear or , what was more likely , forgot all about the five knocks that he was to give tha front door upon his return. During his absence the fearful wifa "could hear nothing but knocks , " she afterward said , "and I was just so nervous alone in a strange house and neighborhood , that I thought Jack had been gone an hour before he had time to turn the corner. Finally I heard the bell ring ; then somebody tried the door. I was nearly dead from fright and don't know what would have hap pened had it not been that any numbei of stones began storming against the house. I knew this Avas an unusual attack for burglars , so with a prayei on my lips that Jack would return ai least some time during that dreadful night , I ventured to the window and peeped out. It was Jack , and he saw me. " "You've waked up the whole neigh borhood. Why don't you let me in ? " he fairly shouted. "Why didn't you knock ? " came bacli ; the small voice. I "Why didn't I knock ? " again shriek. ed the irate husband. "Didn't you vhear the panel fall out of the door ? ' "I know , " sobbed the timid littlt wife ; "but you didn't knock the righl number ; it was five , don't you remem ber ?

With our forefathers , disease was ai | evil Influence. We should no iongei look at It in that way ; at least , so w < are assured in a recent address by Si\ \ Frederick Treves , an Engliuh physi cian. To the modern expert , he says , disease is merely the outcome of nat > ural processes whose purpose , at bet > torn , Is a kindly or beneficent one. It { symptoms are merely "expressions of 4 ! natural effort toward cure ; " they ar "not malign in intent , but have foj their end the ridding of the body ol [ the very troubles which they are rap 'posed to represent" After all , how , ever , this view is not so very new. Even In the Middle Ages wise mei talked of the "curative force of na ture , " and in this phase lies the trut } on which Sir Frederick has based hlf lecture. Still , it is frequently forgottei that nature means well by us , and it ii a good thing to be once in a while re minded of it Naturally.
