THURSDAY. JANUARY 11, 1917. Appeal to Reason q Ask any of the great army of Postum users what in- fluenced them to try this beverage, and the answer nine times out of ten will be that they were convinced the caf feine and tannin in tea and coffee were harmful to health. CURIOUS COURTSHIP. A Chinese Girls Allowed No Choeice In Picking a Husband. As soon as the Chinese lady is old enough to be married her fatber chooses a husband for her. She is nev- er allowed to see him‘ herself. Her father carries on all the courtship for her. The poor Chinaman does not see his girl until the day of the wedding. He does not know whether she is pret- ty or whether she has a temper. TAMARACK We Want 6000 : pieces of On the great day the bride is dressed in’ very gay clothes and placed in a sedan chair, and she is carried toward ber husband. A crowd of people go Some imagine it is hard to give up coffee and tea. But it isn't, with the delightful aroma and flavor of Postum at hand. This flavor somewhat resembles that of a high- grade Java coffee, but there is no coffee in Postum---only the nourishing goodness of wheat, skillfully processed with a small per cent of wholesome molasses. - : 9 Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal, which has tobe boiled: Instant Postum--soluble--made in the cup, instantly. Some prefer one, some the other. ' Made right, they are alike delicious, and the cost per cup is about - the same. There's better health, comfort and efficiency in with her, carrying torches which are lighted even if it be a noon wedding. A band of drums and fifes precedes the chair, and, no matter how hard the bride tried to get away, she could not, as the chair is locked, and an old serv- ant carries the key. The key is then given to the bridegroom, and he ‘is|g the only one privileged to open it. ‘When he opens the doors of the se- dan chair he lifts the veil the little Chinese lady wears over her face, and i he does not like the face of his fu- tare bride he orders the servants to take her back to her father’s roof, and he pays the girl a sum of money to make up for the loss of his compan- fonship. But if he thinks he is going to like the little lady he asks her to come in, and the chair is sent back délivered to Soo track as follows 1 500 pcs. 16-ft. long, 7-in. top or over' 1800 pcs. 14-ft..long, 7=-in. top or over 1500 pce. 12-ft. long, 7-in. top or over 1500 pcs. 8-ft. long, 7=-In. top or over Cali at once if you wish to fill part or all of this order. " Moberg Gonstruction “ANY PLACE THAT IS WILD” John Muir Wanted to Get Far From the Madding Crowd. Once, on reading a magazine article by an enthusiastic young mountain climber who dilated upon his thrilling adventures in scaling Mount Tyndall, John Muir commented dryly: “He must |- have given himself a lot of trouble. ‘When I climbed Tyndall I ran up and Back before breakfast.” At 'a time when trails were few and hard to find he explored the Sferra, ‘which, he said, should be called not the Nevada or Snowy range, but the JBguge of Light. When night came he selected the lee side of a log, made a fire‘anid went to sleep on a bed of pine needles. If it was snowing he made a bigger fire and lay closer to his log shelter. *“Outdoors is the natural place for man;” he said. “I begin to cough and ‘wheeze the minute I get within walls.”. Never at a loss to make his way in the wilderness, he was completely be- wildered in the midst of city streets. “What is the nearest way out of town?” he asked of a man in the busi- mess section of San Francisco soon aft- or. he ‘landed ‘at the Golden Gate in 1868. “But 1 don’t know where you want to go!” protested the surprised pedes- "Thére's ‘5 Reason” chloride into the glass containing the cloth and see that it is well soaked with the solution.

A certain public office has been the object of much satire because of the passive nature, as a rule, of the in- cumbent’s duties. In this connection the following extract from Moses Coit Tyler’s journal, written in Washingtos years ago, is interesting: “Presideat Grant never starts a con- versation, but when it is started be often says a neat thing. Last year there was an excursion down the: Po- tomac. He was on board, with his cab- inet and a quorum of both houses. “Mr President, said Mrs. Judd who sat near him, ‘it would be a pretty bad thing to have a great accident hap- pen to this party. Nearly the ‘whole government would be destroyed.’ “cYes, Mrs. Judd,” assented the pres- dent, ‘but you observe that the vice president has very- prudently stayed ot home.’ ” . Insect Luminosity.

' «“Sympathetic ink,” popularly consid- ered a. “first ald” to war sples in writ- ing. invisible communications, and “fireproof cloth” offer two interesting cliemical experiments the formulas for which have been supplied by a con- tributor to the Electrical Experimenter. They follow: Sympathetic Ink.—With a clean steel pen write on white paper with a cobalt chloride solution and let dry. When the paper is held near a fire the writ- ing will gradually appear and disap- pear again when it cools because the chloride absorbs moisture from the air. Even though the paper is scorched, the writing will still be visible. Fireproofing Cloth. — First get two glass tumblers. Add two teaspoonfuls of ammonium chloride. to the water in one glass and stir until dissolved. In the other glass put a piece of cot- ton cloth two or three inches souare Mr. Business Man!

Holroyde, vicar of Patchum, England, lately noted luminous moth larvae, similar to those observed onee or twice previously, and the- chirone- mous—a kind of gnat—and the ‘“ian- tern beetles” of South America are among the creatures sometimes lighted up. The occasional luminosity has been attributed to disease or deeom- position from bacterial infection.

Poatage Stamps and Germe. By wetting the gum on the stamp with the tongue is the way disease may be spread by a postage stamp. It has been established by experimentation in laboratories that postage stamps do earry germs. In forty-eight tests out of a total of fifty bacteria were found. The fact that-in only two cases were the germs of a malignant type does not lessen in any degree the danger that lurks in wetting the gum on the stamp with tongue. RAXARX HAkAd ¥ kN * DR. L.'A.
