Colored Man’s Interest in Science
Proved to Be a Good Deal
Personal.
A colored man, having heard of
the wonderful powers of the X-ray,
called on a scientist one day for
more particulars and said:
"Say, boss, they tell me there is a
machine that will enable one man to
look right froo another man.’
“I believe there is something of that
kind,” said the scientist.
“Then,” said the negro, “if I done
had chicken for supper would they be
able to see it?”
"No doubt they could,” assured his
friend.
“Well, here’s what I done come to
ax yuh,” said the colored man, look
ing worried, “do you suppose they
could get a good enough likeness of de
chicken to enable de ownah to recog
nize him?”

FAMILY OF FIVE
AN Drank Coffee From Infancy.
It is a common thing in this country
to see whole families growing up with
nervous systems weakened by coffee
drinking.
That is because many parents do
not realize that coffee contains a drug
—caffeine —-which causes the trouble.
(The same drug is found in tea.)
“There are five children in my fam
ily,” writes an lowa mother, “all of
whom drank coffee from infancy up
to two years ago.
“My husband and I had heart trouble
and were advised to quit coffee. We
did so and began to use Postum. We
now are doing without medicine and
are entirely relieved of heart trouble.
(Caffeine causes heart trouble when
continually used as in coffee drink
ing.)
“Our eleven-year-old hoy had a weak
digestion from birth, and yet always
craved and was given coffee. When
we changed to Postum he liked it and
we gave him all he wanted. He has
been restored to health by Postum and
still likes it.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for the little
book, “The Road to Wellville.”
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum —must be boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, makes a delicious beverage
Instantly. Grocers sell both kinds.
"There’s a reason” for Postum.

CZAR IS VERY RICH
Russian Sovereign Has Man>
Palaces to House Treasures.
In Fact, So Numerous Are They That
the Emperor Is a Stranger to
Many of.Them —Nicholas
Has Very Simple Taste.
London. —It is only fitting that a
sovereign who rules a territory 70
times as large as' the British isles,
whose annual revenue is counted in
millions, and whose splendor and
power are so great that in the simple
minds of his moujik subjects he is “a
cousin of God himself,” should have
palaces in plenty to house his magnifi
cence. And the autocrat of all the Rus
sias, if he were much more exacting
than he is, could scarcely resist a
feeling of pride as he contemplates
the number of palaces in his name
each of which is full of treasures sue’
as Croesus himself might envy, re
in One of the Czar’s Palaces.
marks the London Weekly Telegraph.
So many are his stately pleasure
houses that some are less known to
him than to the stranger who is per
mitted to explore them with eyes of
wonder. There are, it is said, hun
dreds of rooms into which his august
feet have never and there are
countless treasures of art which he
would not recognize as his own.
Nor can we wonder that this should
be so -when we consider that in and
around St. Petersburg alone there are
a dozen imperial houses, one of which
is large enough to give luxurious lodg
ing to many thousands of guests; and
that the Kremlin at Moscow is a small
“city of palaces,” to find a parallel to
which we should have to imagine
Windsor castle, Buckingham palace
and the Tower of London inclosed
with the same wahl.
The Winter palace, which stretches
its long imposing front on the bank
of the Neva at St. Petersburg, fronted
and supported by massive columns
and crowned through all its length by
beautiful statuary, has alone more than
ample accommodation for every
branch of the imperial family (forty
in number and dowered with estates
2,000,000 acres larger than Scotland),
with their armies of servants and at
tendants. And the interior of this
vast pile is even more impressive than
its dimensions.
The chief glory of Peterhof, a few
miles from St. Petersburg, are the glo
rious gardens with fountains that
rival, if they do not eclipse, those at
Versailles. In the park of Tsarkoe-
Selo stands the Alexander Schloss, a
smaller palace, but crowded from
basement to ceiling with articles of
bijouterie, gathered from all the cor
ners of the earth, with paintings by
the greatest artists of Russia, and a
singularly fine collection of models,
chiefly military. This palace has seen
the cradling of more than one of the
children of the present czar.
When Nicholas wishes to escape
still more from the world of pomp and
ceremonial, he finds an ideal refuge in
his castle at Spala, in Russian Poland,
hidden away in the heart of a vast for
est. This has been a favorite retreat
of many a czar; for here, if anywhere,
it is possible to shake off the burden
of state and to lead the simple life of
a country gentleman, with the best of
sport to make the days pass pleasant
ly. Here, as at Livadia, a charming
country home among the Crimean
vineyards, the emperor and empress
have spent many of their happiest
hours together, renewing the days of
their wooing in England amid the
peaceful scenery of the Thames. He*e,
paddling in little wherries, pulling up
backwaters, the future ruler of a hun
dred and more millions humbly
pressed his suit. He was so happy and
contented in this rustic retreat that
he rejected all offers to amuse him.

BLOTCHES COVERED LIMBS
19 Roach St., Atlanta, Ga. —“A few
months ago I had some kind of skin
eruption that spread until my limbs

eczema. When the trouble reached
my neck and face I was almost driven
frantic. It itched and stung so in
tensely that I could not sleep or wear
any clothing on the affected parts. Aft

Cuticura Soap and Ointment and after
two days I noticed improvement and
in six days the trouble left. My skin
was fair and smooth again and the
eruption never returned.
“My cousin was a sufferer from pim

seemed to grow worse all the time. I
recommended Cuticura Soap and

definition, or at least in part of it,”
he said. “I was walking the other

he would be drowned if I didn’t save
him. So I jumped in, swam to him,

New Phase of Red Cross Activity
The need of instruction in the prop
er care of children, and home nursing
of the sick in the smaller towns and
rural communities of the country has
never been questioned, and although
in Borne cities visiting nurse organi
zations exist and anti-tuberculosis so
cieties support nurses in their particu
lar line of work, it has remained for
the American Red Cross to take up
rural nursing as a national proposi
tion. Nurses who enter this service
are required by the Red Cross to have
special training or experience in pub
lic health nursing. In the Red Cross
Magazine for October Miss Fannie F.
Clement, the superintendent of Rural
Nurses, describes the organization,
plans and possibilities for good of the
rural Nursing branch of Red Cross
work.
Tree Earns $3,205.
What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier, Cal., which netted
its owner a profit of $3,205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1905
and began bearing in its fourth year.
In 1912 it bore 3,000 pears, which sold
for $1,500, while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to sl,-
705, making the total given above.
The tree is a seedling, the seed hav
ing been planted with a quantity of
other seed which had been imported,
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than 50 pears in a season. This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an octagonal plan.
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.
Very Big Handkerchief
Mr. Frederick Wile, the author of
that much-discussed book, “Men
Around the Kaiser,” tells some excel
lent stories about a number of well
known Germans.
Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the famous scien
tist, had a habit in his younger days,
says Mr. Wile, of collecting any pieces
of old linen he found about the house
with which to clean his scientific in
struments, his microscopic slides, and
so on. Cast-off shirts and old hand
kerchiefs were his specialties, and he
used to stuff them all into his capaci
ous pockets so as to have them handy
whenever he required them.
At a public lecture one hot day Dr.
Ehrlich perspired freely, and, wanting
to mop his brow, he put his hand into
the nearest pocket and grasped what
he thought to be a handkerchief. He
tugged and tugged, and it came out
and came out until he had exposed
to the full View of his astonished au
dience a complete nightgown belong
ing to his wife.—Pearson’s Weekly.

Is Your Body Poisoned?
Well kidneys keep the blood free of
*ric acid, a deadly poison that is con
stantly forming inside the body.
Sluggish kidneys allow the uric acid to
accumulate, causing rheumatic attacks,
headache, dizziness, gravel, urinary
troubles, weak eyes, dropsy, and heart
disease.
Doan's Kidney Pills restore the nor
mal blood-filtering action of the kidneys.
This drives out uric acid and ends uric
acid poisoning.
