A tax of $2 a year is imposed on every

authorities make inquiries the concierge

The men walk along the streets at night,

Good Humor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.
Cheerfulness is like sunlight, It
dispels the clouds from the mind as
sunlight chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can plek
up and carry off a load that the man
with a grouch wouldn't attempt to
1ift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady foind that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. Bhe writes:
“Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
gystem was in a bad condition.
“But I was young and did not want
to die, so I began to look about for
the cause of my chronic trouble. 1
used to have nervous spells which
would exhaust me and after each spell
it would take me days before I could
sit up in a chair.
“lI became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee, [1 decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
“The first cup, which I made ac
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and 1 liked the
taste. For a time I nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides.
I am today a healthy woman,
“My family and relatives wonder
if 1 am the same person I was four
years ago, when I could do no work
on account of nervousness. Now 1
am doing my own housework, take
care of two bables—one twenty, the
other two months old. 1 am so busy
that I hardly get time to write a
letter, yet I do it all with the cheer.

alarm clock,
In a small office adjoining the "stable
the clock is placed on a shelf. Attached
to the winding-up key is a piece of cop
per wire, and this is fa-tened to a small
brass roller that runs over a wooden rod.
At the end of the rod is a heavy weight.
When the clock “goes oft’’ the wheel is
drawn over the rod and releases the
weight, which falls to the floor.
The cornbox is filled overnight, and
immediately the weight is released

The horses never fail to rise at the sound

to be gained by the method is that the
