| A .Philadelphia physician , while
Isaaklng a social visit at the house of
f& friend , chanced to meet a colleague.
{ After some general conversation , a re-
tamrk was made that gave a profes-
Isional turn to the talk. The first phy-
klcian said :
j "You know one may look into the
'
'throat of a child and determine upon
which foot It is standing merely by
'the ' way in which the blood collects
ton the other side of the body. "
i "A more remarkable fact than that , "
observed the second doctor , "is that

Isxerclse it develops a marked degree

\to \ suspect that his medical friends

irate , he , as a layman , contributed the
following extraordinary addition to the
tock of medical knowledge :

of an old Virginia judge , noted as a

questions are often ridiculous.
This particular judge once had a
damage suit before him which necessi
tated the appearance of several wit
nesses. Knowing almost every person
In his jurisdiction , it was his custom
to see that the witnesses vjere always
in court at the proper time. While the
clerk was calling the names of the
witnesses in this case he came to the
name of James Brown , which no one
in the room claimed to possess. Know
ing James as a ne'er-do-well , the judge
could not understand his absence.
"Does anyone in this court know a
good reason why James Brown should
not be here ? ' ' he finally queried.
After a short silence the question
was repeated , when another witness
spoke up.
"Yes , sir , judge , " he said , "I know of
two reasons why he should not be
here. "
"Well , what are they ? " asked the
judge.

he is still dead. " Louisville Courier-

The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their state
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
of roasted peas , beans or corn , and
mixed with a low grade of coffee and
that it contains no nourishment

Please remember we never say ordi
nary coffee hurts every one.
Some people use it regularly and
seem strong enough to withstand its
attacks , but there is misery and dis
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in its use when nature
protests , by heart weakness , stomach
and bowel troubles , kidney disease ,
weak eyes , or general nervous prostra
tion. The remedy is obvious. The drug
caffeine , contained in all ordinary cof
fee , must be discontinued absolutely or
the disease will continue in spite of
any medicine and will grow worse.
It is easy to leave off the old-fashion
ed coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee , for In it one finds a pleasing hot
breakfast or dinner beverage that has
the deep seal brown color , changing tea
a rich golden brown when good cream
is added. When boiled long enough (15 (
minutes ) the flavor is not that of rank
Rio coffee , but very like the milder ,
smooth and high grade Java , but en
tirely lacking the drug effect of ordi
nary coffee.
Any one suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking ( and there is an
extensive variety ) can absolutely de
pend upon some measure of relief by
quitting coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee.
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted , one can with good rea
son expect it to disappear entirely in a
reasonable time after the active cause
of the trouble is removed and the cellu
lar tissue has time to naturally rebuild ,
with the elements furnished by Postum
and good food.
It's only just plain old common sense.
Now , with the exact facts before the

course , looking to health and the power
to do things.
If you have any doubt as to the
cause of any ache or ail you may have ,
remember the far reaching telegrams of
a hurt nervous system trave1 from heel
to head , and it may be well worth your
while to make the experiment of leav
ing off coffee entirely for ten days and
using Postum iu its place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts , worth more than a gold
mine , for health can make gold and

CUPID IN THE ELEVATOR
fjrpHE inhabitants were chary of in-
II trusting themselves to the elevator -
vator in Bailey Mansions , for it
was of so unstable a character that the
initiated had lost all confidence in it
as a means of transportation.
Katherine , however , was not an in
habitant In her own home elevators
pursued the even tenor of their way
without vagaries of any sort : so , when
her call on the top floor was completed ,
with every reason to expect a swift
and uneventful journey she stepped
confidently Into the elevator.
At the fourth floor it stopped to ad
mit a second passenger , a man named
Westcott Westcott differed from
Katherine In that he entered the cage-
like apartment with a full knowledge
of its treacherous tendencies , but West
cott was that morning in a frame of
mind to court disaster. He assured
himself as he stepped in that it was a
"WILL YOU HAVE A CHOCOLATE ? "
matter of complete indifference to him
whether the elevator shot suddenly up
ward and crashed through the skylight ,
or dropped without warning into the
basement
The elevator , however , did neither of
these things. Under the guidance of a
chubby , blue-eyed youth , it pursued Its
downward career until it reached the
space between the first and second
floors ; there it stopped.
At the sight of her fellow passenger
Katherine turned pink with embarrass
ment The man had muttered some
thing under his breath and bowed frig
idly , for , before courting disaster , he
had courted Katharine apparently it
had amounted to the same thing. They
had parted forever only the evening
before , and the ring she had worn for
three months was at thaib moment in
*
Westcott's vest pocket , where he had
(
thrust it savagely at the end of their
quarrel.
"Why are we stopping here ? ' ' asked
Katherine , turning to the elevator boy
of cherubic countenance.
" 'Cause we can't go on , " returned
the boy , producing a bag of nuts and
a comic paper and proceeding to make
himself comfortable. "The power's off
again. "
"Has it ever does It often go off like
this ? "
"Oh , yes , " replied the boy , cheerfully.
"There's nothing to be scared of. Some
times she runs all right for as much as
a week ; then , again , she won't budge
for as much as six or seven hours at
a stretch. "
"Six or seven hours ! " gasped Kath
arine.
"Yes , " replied the boy , settling him
self more comfortably on his stool.
"Once it was longer , but gin'rally they
get her going In an hour or two.
There's no danger at all , miss. "
The boy gently discouraged further
conversation by burying himself in his
paper. Katherine moved to the end
of the long , leather-covered seat West
cott , at the extreme other end , stared
gloomily at the wall.
Kathrln looked at her watch ; It was
already past luncheon time , and she
had been too miserable to eat much
breakfast Still she brightened at the
thought she should uot starve , for she
had with her a box of chocolates she
was taking home to her sister's chil
dren.
She looked at her watch again. Only
four more minutes had passed , but the
pangs of hunger were becoming un
endurable. The chubby boy munched
nuts with apparently no thought of his
fellow-sufferers. Katherine untied the
pink string that bound the chocolate
box , unfolded the paper , lifted the lid
and ate a chocolate.
When she had eaten three she
glanced at Westcott He was still gaz
ing at the wall. The walls In elevator
bafta ars seldom interesting ; this one
was tinted a bilious ffreen & color that
Westcott abhorred.
"How he must bate me , thought
Katherine , eating another chocolate ,
"when he'd rather look at a wall than
at me. I wonder what I ought to del
If we were utter strangers , cast away
on a desert isle , and he had one biscuit
and three drops of water , I should
think him horrid if he didn't offer me
haJf. I suppose I ought to offer him
-some of these chocolates , even if we're
not on speaking terms. "
Katherine , sitting very erect and
gazing straight ahead , pushed the box
along the seat Westcott paid no at
tention.
"Will you have a chocolate ? " asked
Katherine , somewhat unsteadily.
Westcott was so sure that he was
dreaming that he did not make any
answer.
"The lady spoke to you , " prompted
the'elevator boy.
Westcott looked inquiringly at Kath
erine.
"Will you will you have a choco
late ? "
"No , thank you , " replied Westcott ,
returning to the contemplation of the
green wall.
There was another long pause. The
neglected box remained half way be
tween the suspended passengers.
"I think you're very ungentlemanly , "
said Katherine at length.
"So you said last night" responded
Westcott , coldly.
"You're more so to-day. "
"How ? "
"You you know I'm too polite to eat
those chocolates and let you go hungry ,
and I'm fairly starving. "
Westcott with an air of exaggerated
politeness , took a chocolate and ate It ,
with his eyes fixed unsoclably upon the
green wall. He dared not trust him
self to look at Katherino. Katherine
nibbled a bonbon , waited In silence for
ten minutes , and again offered the box
to Westcott who gravely helped him
self. This operation was repeated until
only one remained In the box. The
remaining ono was heart-shaped.
"It's a heart ! " exclaimed the ele
vator boy , who had rend too many
"dime shockers" not to recognize an
interesting situation when face to face
with one , and who was unable to con
tain himself longer. "You'll have to
toss for it It's a heart , isn't it ? "
"Why , so it Is , " replied Katherine.
"Will you have it , Bob pardon me
Mr. Westcott ? "
Westcott shot a quick glance at
Katherine , who had gradually moved
two feet away from the end of the
leather-overed bench , and was consequently
quently that much closer to the man
she had jilted the previous evening.
"Do I understand that you are offer
ing me a heart ? " asked Westcott
"It's your turn. " said Katherine ,
flushing a beautiful crknson.
Westcott took from his pocket some
thing that glittered , laid it In the box
beside the chocolate heart , and pushed
the box toward Kathorine.
"Do we play fair ? " he asked , with
his eyes on Katherlne's.
The elevator boy , agog with excite
ment , retired discreetly , but with re
luctance , to the pages of his paper , but
not before he had recognized in the
glittering object a ring.
And when he looked again the box
contained two hands , although only ono
was visible ; the man was no longer
gazing at the wall.
The hand of the indicator above the
boy's head was leaping from number
to number In curious fashion , sounds
of ringing bells and impatient voices
drifted from the elevator shaft ; but
the man and the. maid paid no heed.
Then the boy moved the lever slowly ,
"even reluctantly , and the elevator
dropped quietly to the ground floor.
"Oh ! " exclaimed Katherine , drawing
her hand gently from Westcott's and
giving a long sigh. "We're actually
down. "
"Yes , " beamed the boy , "and you
might have been down fifteen minutes
ago just as well as not ; but Lseen how
things was going , and I thought I'd
help them along some. "
"You shall come to the wedding ,
Cupid , " said Westcott slipping a heavy
coin into the cherubic boy's hand. And
he added , as they stepped out of the
elevator on to the solid ground : "If I
ever own an elevator you shall run It. "

have noticed that a loose glass in a

strength of the sound wave which
causes the ill "fitting glass to hum ,

is multiplied a score of times in a second
