A farmer says:* "For ten years or more I suffered from dyspepsia and stomach trouble, caused by the use of colfee (Tea contains caffeine, the same drug found In coffee), until I pot so bad I had to give up coffee entirely and almost give up eating. There were times when I ? could eat only boiled milk and bread: and when I went to the field to work I had to take some bread and butter along to give me strength. "I doctored steady and took almost everything I could get for my stomach in the way of medicine, but if I got any better it only lasted a little while I was almost a walking skeleton. "One day I read an ad for Postum and told my wife I would try it. and as to the following facts I will make affidavit before any judge: "I quit coffee entirely and usea kostorn in it:? place.

By Q&ra Inez Deacon (Copyright. 1912, by Associated TJterary Press.) It was thoroughly understood when MIbs Nettle Shields, eleven years of age, was permitted to accompany her sister Fanny, of twenty, down to Eagle's nest for a few weeks' stay with their aunt, that the young miss muBt behave herself. Not that M)ss Nettle Shields had j ever been arrested for her conduct. I but that she was heedless ^nd overconfident and almost satisfied the.* she knew it all.

Then she met the coachman's son, a lud of twelve. The city lass was looking at the country lad with her nose in the air and a pitying expression on her face when he walked up to her and said: "You arq not so muchy-mueh!" "I am a hundred times more muchy much than you!" "Oh, you think so! Did you ever see a pirate's cave?" "N?no." "Well, I have. You may have lots of things in the city, but you haven't got a pirate's cave." "Where is it?" ' That's telling." "Young man, I want to know at once, and you point out that cave or there'll be trouble!" "Hu! No kid can bluff me! That cave is full of gold and silver and sparkling Jewels. I've seen 'ern. I can go there any time and get a bushel. There are also pirate skulls and bones there. There is one diamond 1. ' ^^^ "You Are Not 80 Muchy-Much!" an big as my fist. When I heard you was coming down here 1 thought of taking you over to the cave and letting you pick out a few pearls and rubles for yourself, but now I won't. You are too snippy." "Then you needn't!" It was three days later that Miss Nettle got down on her knees to that bad boy and vowed to marry him when they grew up If he would take her to that cave. As a matter of fact, he had been told by a boy, who had It from another boy, that there was such a cave In the hills three miles nway. He had lied about the rest of It, but he didn't propose to own up. He wnnted to be a hero instead of an Uncle Rube, In Miss Nettle's eyes. He soon discovered that he couldn't be without setting out for the cave, and It took him a whole day to make up his mind. They must set out secretly, and If there was no cave a licking ! awaited him for sure on their return, and It mlgnt do oreaa ana wuier iui u week for the girl. It was not until Miss Nettle had applled the epithet of coward several times that a start was made. The family dog was old and shackelty and didn't core a cent about pirates' caves, but after much coaxing he consented to go along. The wny was across the fields and through the scrub to a range of hills, and the afternoon was hot and the journey toilsome. The | dog gave out first. When his aged Joints began to creak he knew that he had bad enough, and he headed back. "I don't think I'd want to 6ee pirate bones unless the dog was along," observed the boy. "But 1 would." was the reply from ; the pnntlng but not discouraged girl. ; "I took the dog so that he could ; smell out the cave for us." "But we'll smell It out for ourselves. We are going right on." "I don't believe there is any cave." "Oh, yes, there is. I think 1 have ! read about It somewhere. If you are ' a booby you can trot back home." Forty rods further on the boy dropped behind a bush for two or i three minutes and then legged it for WOULD TEACb One Man Bold Enough to Say That Americans Have Much to Learn in Thl* R^SDCCt.

He waVt going to give a pirate's ghost a chance to take him by the threat. MIsb Nettle missed hfm. but did not even call on him to return. She had act out for a cave filled with money and Jewels, and she meant to reach it. The hills, were reached, at last, by a very tired girl. They were covered with pine and spruce and bowlders, but after a r^st she started her climb an# b?gdn Iboking for the mouth of a cave. The limbs and briars soon made tatters of her dress, but If she thought of the financial damage she realized also that one single ruby of the bushels in the cave would buy her many new suits. No cave! No sign of a cave! A blue-Jay now and then, and a chipmunk now and then, and after an hour the girl realized that she was lost and had come on a fool's errand. The thing to do was to eit down on a rock and have a good cry to try to figure out how many days it would take for a healthy young girl to starve to death. Misa Nettie didn't do the proper thing, however. She Bat down, but before the rest of it could follow a hunting dog burst through a tangle and discovered her and began to bnrk He had kept it up for two minutes when a man not far away shouted: "Go for him, Nero!

Miss Nettie could do no lest than give her identity and explain now she came to be a Babe In the Woods. She laughed as she talked, and the young man laughed as he listened. He explained that he was also from the city and visiting relatives, and was out on the hills that afternoon for the sake of the tramp. "Your name Is Robert, but I shall call you Bob," snld the little girl. "You can call mo Net or Nettle. Of course you will see me home?" "Oh, certainly." "I want to pet at that boy and roll him In the dust." "Do you know that you are about gIx miles from the Eagle's Nest?" he asked. "Mercy on me!" "It's a mile or more to the house where I am stopping. We will go first and get a bite to eat, and then I will take you home in my auto." The coachman's boy had returned to hide out, and although Miss Nettie was missed and Inquired for he gave no information until dark. Then there was a rumpus. A searching party started out with lanterns, and the women left at home were crying, and it had got to be nine o'clock when the lost girl was driven up by the finder. In the interval Mr. Bonham was posted on the Shields family, particularly as to Fanny. Miss Fanny had never been in love; she had a sweet disposition; her aunt was going to leave her jzu.uuu; ene wuum nmnw 6ome one an awfully good wife, and a great deal more The cave-searcher knew that she had broken her word, and she was conscience-stricken over It. She must do the square thing to pay for the ! anxiety and trouble she had caused. She did it like a little brick. As soon as released from her sister's arms she introduced Mr. Bob Bonham, and with a lump in her throat added: "Fanny. I was Intending to marry him, for he is all that a trusting girl could ask for. but being I ran away? and got lost?and tore my clothes? and broke my promise?and am going to have a scrap with that boy. why, take him and love him and marry him!" ThiB speech was embarrassing enough, but had no fatal effects. It was Just a year ago, and Mr. 3ob Bonham has mode such good use of the time that he can now say ho is engaged to Miss Fanny Shields.

The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 23 THE PENITENT WOMAN. LESSON* TEXT-Luke T:3*-50. GOLDEN* TEXT?"Faithful Is the saying and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came Into the world to lavo sinners."?1 Tim. 1:15. Jesus had accepted an Invitation to visit the home of the aristocrat Simon, but Instead of being treated with courtesy he is humiliated by studied neglect and Insult There was one, however, who fully appreciated his real worth, a woman of the street who had doubtless seen him enter or else : observed him at meat through the open doorway. Knowing blm Is one thing, but to love him Is quite an other. Do not coniouna mis wumau with Mary Magdalene, there Is no connection at all. Jesus always drew to himself the sinful ones; It was for that purpose he came into the world, '.o bear our sins (Matt. 1:21; Isa 53:6). This woman was, however, a sinner who no longer ran after her sin, but one who was repentant. This Is shown by (1) her sorrow (weeping); (2) her humble service (wiping his feet), and (3) her gift of love (the alabaster box), this latter having undoubtedly been an accessory of her life of sin, but now devoted to a more noble use. As the odor filled the house the self-satisfied Pharisee spake "within himself," but he who dlscerneth the thoughts and Intents of the heart knew not only how great a sinner she had been, but knew also tho cloak of self-rlghteousnes worn by Simon. Her purity and holiness had 1 been shattered like the alabaster box and Jesus proceeds to shatter Simon's shpll of self complacency by putting forth one of his matchless parables. Jesus Speaks to Simon. A certain creditor, undoubtedly meaning himself, had two debtors, by Inference this woman and this Pharisee. froth alike were bankrupt, ono owed about $8.50 and the other ten times as much, about $85. Both alike, however, received forgiveness. "Tell me," says the Master, "which debtor will love most?" The Pharl- j see's reply was the logical one; they both depend upon the mercy of the creditor, hence tho gratitude will be In ratio to the amount forgiven. Much had been required, hence much forgiven. Jesus Immediately turns the Pharisee's answer to a practical appll- j cation. Taking the words out of ! Simon's mouth he makes one of the most complete and practical applications of applied Christianity In the gospel record. To paraphrase Jesus says: "Simon. I came Into your house and the most common courtesy of washing a guest's feet you neglected, yet this woman has washed my feet with her tears, an evidence of her repentance. while you sit there with dryeyed cynicism. She has wiped my feet with the hairs of her head, her glory and crown has heen laid at my feet while you have not so much as offered me a towel to wipe the dust off rny feet ns I left my sandals at your door. Simon you gave me no kiss, that common mark of a courteous welcome, yet this woman has not ceased to kiss my feet Blnce the time I came Into your house. The annolntlng oil, common olive oil, you neglected to ubo, yet the precious oil of her treasure she has thankfully poured upon my feet. Simon, your life is a life of works so are these acts of this woman, but your life Is one of zeal while her acts have been prompted by love." In another place Jesus tells us that If we love him we will do the things he commands us and that he and the Father will come and abide with vs. Hers was the heroic love of one who having lost her shame dared to thrust herself Into an unbidden -house of refreshment and perform those neglect1 ed menial duties, the result of which wns that reward for her faith that meant forgiveness of her sins. Ry her attention to these duties she was unconsciously rebuking the vanity of . Rimon's self merit while at the same time she was showing to the world a fine example of the gratitude of a saved one. Paul later expressed It most forcefully In the fourth chapter .of bis letter to the Romans. The man who works has not a reward of grace, bu: of debt, but he that belleveth is Justified, his faith being counted for righteousness. The Great Creditor. This woman knew she had no merit of her own and hence she threw herself at the feet of Jesus, claimed his righteousness and compassion and at the same time by her acts she showed the attitude of her heart and of course j she had the desire of her heart. It has always been so for has not the Master said, "Happy are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be fed?" After this "practical sermon of applied Christianity" to Simon, Jesus turns to the woman, nameless so far is the Scripture record Is concerned, and with Infinite and a heavenly thrill in his voice he said: "Thy faith hath saved thee, go in pea^e." "Who Is the :reator," they asked. Jesus teaches us that though there ie degrees of guilt, all alike must -nme to God for forgiveness. Also that he, the Great Creator, is the one :o whom we owe our debt of sins and who alone can without merit dlslarge that debt and send us forth In eace. To Be a Blessing. We remain on earth as sowers to icatter good seeds, as plowmen to treak up the fallow ground, as herilds publishing salvation. We are here is the "salt of the earth," to be a alessing to the world.

I used to think that God's gifts were an shelves one above the other, and that the taller we grow In Christian character the easier we should reach them. I find now that God's ariftB are on shelves one beneath the other, and that It is not a question of growing taller, but of stooping lower, and that we have to go down, always down, to get his best gifts.?

The talk In one of the cloak rooms of congress turned to the thought of j the happiest moments In one's life. Senator Ralley said his came the day he wore his first pair of trousers. And Paul Howland of Ohio declared his big moment of joy was when he was permitted once to drive a chariot In a pony and dog show parade. Representative Redfield, who Is a wise chap, even If he does hall from Brooklyn, said It was when he was going to school and trying to master long division. Three or four aisles over from where he sat a boy yawned. It was not an ordinary yawn, but one of such genuine expression of feeling toward things In general that It attracted Redfleld's attention. He w-as fortunate In having a paper wad right at hand, ready for any emergency, and he aimed this at the boy's cavernous mouth. The wad went right square Into the goal and?well, Fourth of July fireworks are tame to the stunts 'that boy did In the next fewminutes. He says he almost smiled once on shipboard when the vessel gave a lurch and threw a platter full of beefstead. gracy and all, over the open-faced shirt front of a pompous passenger across the table. ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY "Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began ns pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face Itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face was as fine and clean eb any little baby's face. Every one who snw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years. Wo can only recommend the Cuticura Remedies to everybody." (Signed) Mrs. H. Albrecht, Box 883, West Point, Neb., Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Boston.

RECORD OF A I GREAT ME9ICINE I Doctors Could Not Help Mrs, I Templeton ? Regained Health through Lydia E. Pinkham's Compound. Hooper, Nebraska.? "I am very glad to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped me. For five years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors' medicines and used local treatments but was not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep and my friends thought I could not live * long. At my request my husband got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I commenced to take it By the time I had taken the seventh bottle my health had returned and I began doing my washing and was a well woman. Atone time for three weeks I did all the work for eighteen boarders with no signs of my old trouble returning. Many have taken your medicine after seeing what it did for me. I would not take $1000 and be where I was. You have my permission to use my name if it will aid anyone. "?Mrs. susie Templeton, Hooper, Nebraska. ThePinkham record is a proud and peerless one.
