After the lee revolution the Young Turks offered " a prize for a national anthem, but so kill far the poet of patriotism has not whi come forward to claim it. cha Poe Value of Expert Testimony.

A young husband who had not found married life exactly a path of roses, and who sincerely wished to prove to his wife the daepth of his affection, went home one evening and said cheerily: "Well, Tilda, you can't guess what I have done today." "Made a fool of yourself, as usual," replied Tolda, ungraciously. "That's as 3ou look at it, dear one." "Oh, John Henry," said the wife.

A lady in Ark, owes her health to the fact that she could not pay in advance the fee demanded by a P pe. cialist to treat her for stomach trou ble. In telling of her case she says: "I had been treated by four different physicians during 10 years of stomach trouble. Lately I cailed on another who told me he could not cure me; that I had neuralgia of the stomach. Then I went to a specialist who told me I had catarrh of the stomach and said he could cure me in four months, but would have to have his moneyuo down. I could no raise the neces sary sum and in my extremity I was led to quit coffee and try Postu.e "The results have been magical. I now sleep well at night, something I had not done for a long time; the pain in my stomach is gone and I am a different woman, FI "Every time I had tried to stop cob fee I suffered from severe headaches, so I continued to drink it, although I l had reason to believe it was injurious to me. But when I had Posturm to shift to it was different. 1 "To my surprise I did not miss cof fee when I began to drink Postum. "Coffee had been steadily and surely killing me and I .idn't fully realize what was doing it until I quit and changed to Postue." Name given by P'ostum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
