LEVELERS.
The Mianloa of M,lilky, Tobacco and
Coflee, '
The Creator rcado all things, we be
lieve. If to, He must have nude these.
We know what lie rrmde food und
water for, and air and tmislilnc but
tvhy Whisky, Tobacco und CotTteV
Thoy are here sure enough and each
performing its work.
There must bo some jrreat plan be
hind it nil: the thoughtful man seek
to understand something of that plun
and thereby to Judge these articles for
their true worth.
Let us not say "bad" or "good" with
out tiiking tesdmoay.
There ure thaes and conditions when
It certainly seems to the cms mil observ
er that these stimulant luircotk-s are
lenl blessings.
H.'iilil there Is the ntiiliusb that eon
ecu Is u "killing" enemy.
One can slip into the hnbit of either
whisky, tobacco or coffee ciisy enough,
lint to "untungle" Is often a fearful
struggle.
It seems plain tliuj there are circum
stances when the narcotic effect of
these poison fs for the moment bene
tit'iul, but the fearful argument ngiiliiRt
them Is that seldom ever does one find
n steady user of either whisky, cof
fee or tobacco free from disease of
tome kind.
Certainly powerful elements la their
effect on the human race.
It Is a matter of dally history testi
fied to by literally millions of people,
Hint Whisky, Tobacco and Coffee aro
smiling, promising, beguiling friends
on the start, but always false as hell
Itself In the end. uiK-e mey get mm
i. old enough to show their strength,
they Insist upon governing and drive
I lie victim steadily towards ill health
;n some form; If permitted to continue
to rule, they will not let up until phy
sical 11 nd mental ruin sets in.
A man under that spell (and "under
the spell" Is correct), of uny one of
these drugs, frequently assures him
self and his friends, "Why, I can leave
off any time I want to. I did quit for
a week Just to show I could." It Is a
sure mark of the slave when one gets
to that stage. He wiggled through a
week fighting every day to break the
spell, was finally whipped, and began
his slavery all over again.
The slave' (Coffee slave as well ns
Tobacco and Whisky) dally reviews bis
condition, sees perfectly plain the
steady encroachments of disease, how
the nerves get weaker day by day and
demand the drug that seems to smile
and offer relief for a few minutes and
then leave the diseased condition
plainer to view than ever and grow
ing worse. Many times the Coffee
slave realises that he is between two
fires. He feels bad if he leaves off,
and a little worse if he drinks and al
lows the effect to wear off.
So it goes on ti-om auy to day. Every
night the struggling victim promises
himself that be will break the habit
and next day when be feels a little
bad (as be is quite sure to), breaks,
not the .habit, but bis own resolution.
It is nearly always a tough fight, with
disaster ahead sure if ;ho habit wins.
There hove hevu hundreds of thou
sands of people driven to their graves
through disease brought on by coffee
drinking alone, and it is quite certain
that more humnu misery is caused by
coffee and tobacco than by whisky, for
the two first are more widely used,
atd more hidden and insidious in the
effect on nerves, heart and other vital
organs, and are thus unsuspected un
til much of the dangerous work is
done.
Now, Reader, what is your opinion
as to the real use the Creator has for
these thiugs? Take a look at the ques
tion from this point of view.
There is a law of Nature and of Na
ture's God that things slowly evolve
from lower planes to higher, a sturdy,
steady-aud 'digulfled advance toward
more perfect things in both the Phy
sical and. Spiritual ' world. The pon
derous tread of evolutionary develop
ment is fixed by the Infinite and will
not be quickened out of natural law
by any of man's methods.
Therefore we see many (lustrations
showing bow nature checks too rapid
advance. Illinois raises phenomenal
crops of corn for two or three years.
If she continued to do so every year
her farmers would advance in wealth
far beyond those of. other sections or
countries. So Nature Interposes a bar
every three or four years aud brings
on a "bad year."
Here we see the leveling Influence
at work.
A man is prosperous in hit business
for number of years and grow rich.
Then Nature sets the "leveling influ
ence" at work on htm. Some of his
investments lose, he become luxuri
ous and lazy. , Ferbapp It Is whltky, to
bacco, coffee, women, gambling, or
some other form. The inteut and pur
pose i to level blm. Keep bim from
evolving too far ahead of the masses.
A nutlou becomes -prosperous and
great Jlke ancient Rome. If no leveling
Influence' set in she would dominate
the world perhaps for nil time. But
Da mo Nature set her army of "level
- on" at work. Luxury, over eating and
drinking, licentiousness, waste and ex
travagance, Indulgence of all kinds,
then come the wreck. Sure, Sure,
Sure. .
" xue law of the unit is the law of the
mutts. Mun goes through the same
process. ,, Weakness . (In childhood),
gradual growth of strength, energy,
Mhrlft, problt prosperity, wealth,
comfort, ease, relaxation, telf-lndnl-genco,
Injury, Idleness, watte, de
bauchery, disease, and the wreck fol
low. The "levelera" are In the buthra
along the pathway of every successful
man and woman and they bag the ma
jority. Only now and then can a man stand
out against these "levelem" and hold
hi fortune, fain and health to the
and.
So tb Creator ba nso for Whisky.
Tobacco and Coffee to level down the
soccesaful one and those who show
Ign of being successful, and keep
the nark In the race, to that tb great
field" (the maatei) may not be left
too far belaud,...
And yet we must admit thnt same all
wise Creator ling placed it in the pow
er of man to stand upright, clothed in
the armor of a clean cut, steady mind
nnjl say unto himself, "1 decline to ex
change my birthright for a mess of
potitge.
"I will not. denden my senses, weak
en my grip on nlTalrs und keep myself
cheap, common nmt behind in fortune
and fome by drugging with whisky,
tobacco or coffee; life Is too short. It
is hard enough to win the good things,
without any sort of handicap, so a man
Is certainly n 'fool trader' when he
trades strength, health, money, and the
good things that come with power, for
the half-asleep condUlon of the 'd rug
ger' with the certainty of sickness and
Tisease abend."
It Is a mutter each individual must
doclde for himself. He can be a lead
er and seml-i;j,i If be will, or he can
go along through life a drugged clown,
n cheap "hewer of wood or carrier of
water."
Certain it Is that whlln tho Great
Fctlier of us nil does not seiu to
"mind" if some of His children are
foolish and stupid, He seems to select
others (perhaps those He intends for
some special work) and allows them to
be ihl'celM-H miiU cum i.i led uiusi car-
fully by theRc "levelers."
If a man tries flirting with these lev
elers awhile, and gets a few slxps a
a bint, he bad belter take the hint or
a good solid blow will follow.
When n man tries to live upright,
clean, thrifty, sober, an. nndrugsed,
manifesting as near as he knows what
the Creator intends be should, happi
ness, health and peace seem to come
to blm. Does it pay?
This article was written to set peo
ple thinking, to rouse the "God with
in," for every highly organized man
and woman has times when they feel
a something calling from within for
thorn to press 'o the front and "be
about the Father's business;" don't
mistake it; the spark of the Infinite
is there and it pays in every way,
health, happiness, peace, and even
worldly prosperity, to break off tbe
habits and strip clean for the work
cut out for ms.
It has been the business if the writ
er .lo provide a practical and easy way
for people to break away from tbe
coffee habit and bo assured of a return
t. health and all of the good things
that brings, provided the abuse ha
not gone too far, and even then tbe
cases where the body has been rebuilt
on a basis of strength and health run
ii-.to the thousands.
It is an easy and comfortable step to
stop coffee Instantly by having well
made Tostum Food Coffee served rich
and hot with good cream, for the col
or nnd flavor Is there, but none of tho
caffeine or other nerve destroying el
ements of ordinary coffee.
On the contrary, the most powerful
rebuilding elements furnished by Na
ture are in Postum and they quickly
set about repairing tbe damage. Sel
dom Is it more than two days after
tho chango is made before the old
stomach or bowel troubles or com
plaints of kidneys, heart, head or
nerves show unmistakable evidence of
getting better and ten days' time
changes things wonderfully.
Literally millions of brain working
Americans to-day use Postum, having
found the value aud common sense in
the change.
C. W. POST.
ASPARAGUS LONG A FAVORITE.
Records Date Back Almost to Begin
ning of Authentic History.
Of all food plants there is none
which has been so long known or been
possessed of so distinguished a line
age as the asparagus. Its records
reach back almost to the beginning
of authentic history, and it Is men
tioned by the comic poet . Cratlnus,
who died about 425 B. C. The Ro
mans held the vegetable In high es
teem. The elder Cato wrote a work
which Is siill extant, "Do re Hustlca,"
and It treat at length of the virtue
and proper cultivation of asparagus.
Pliny, In his natural history, written
about 60 A. D has much to say about
It. He feelingly observes: "Of all
the products of your garden your chlet
care should he asparagus," and he de
votes several chapters to it many
good qualities and the best method
of raising It. He asserts that the soil
about Ravenna was so favorable to
Its production that three heads grown
In that district had been known to
weigh a Roman pound. This pound
seem to have been about equal to
eleven ounces in our day, so it would
apparently have taken four of the
stalk to have reached a pound of our
weigh.
The asparagus being essentially a
southern plant, it is possible that the
slock growinc In Italy was of a more
vigorous growth than that of our
northern clime. It 1 found all around
tho shores of the Mediterranean and
branches off Into four or five distinct
species beside the one ordinarily
used for edible purposes.

Crjatal Applea.
This is a delicious breakfast dish, and
one that deserves to be better known.
Wash, halve and core four large ap
ples. Make a syrup of one cupful of
granulated sugar and a cup aud a half
of boiling water. As the syrup thick
ens drop in the apples and cook until
tender. Lift out carefully, roll each
piece in granulated sugar nnd return
to the syrup. Cover with oatmeal
porridge made by cooking one cupful
of prepared oats in two cupfuls of boil
ing water with a teaspoonful of salt
for twenty minutes. Serve with cream,
plain or whipped. If preferred, the
apples may be left whole and simply
cored, the cavities being filled with
chopped dates, raisins, figs or any
other frnit Another variation Is the
addition of ground nuts butternuts,
walnuts or almonds.
Milk Tonat.
The very best way to moke milk
toast Is by the time-honored recipe
bnuded down from our grandmothers.
They browned and buttered the toast,
setting it aside to keep hot while they
heated and stirred smoothly together
over the fire one tablcspoonful each of
flour and butter and one-quarter tea
poonful of salt to each cup of milk.
The hot milk was added and nil cooked
to a smooth, slightly thickened cream.
Then the slices of toast were bathed
In the liquid long enough to soften
them, before the whole was dished and
sent In to the table. This, it may be
repeated, is the best way, but, if the
milk Is rather limited, an allowable
variation is to add a pinch of salt to
each slice of toast, pour boiling water
quickly over, and then replace It with
the hot, Ihlckened milk on the nlUer
on which it is to be served.
From Cellar to Garret.
Blood stains on a silk gown can be
removed by cold strong borax water.
A faded cotton dress can be made
white by boiling iu cream of tartar
water.
Potatoes will bake more rapidly if a
pan of water is put into the oven with
them.
Coarse salt and vinegar will clean
enameled ware that has been burned
or discolored.
A little soap mixed with stove black
lug will produce better und more last
ing lustre than without.
The wax from dripping candles cun
be removed from table linen by a
generous application of alcohol.
No odor from onions will pervade
the boune, it is said, if a generous piece
of stale bread is cooked with them.
A nut pick kept on the kitchen table
is tbe most convenient utensil for re
moving the paper cover from the milk
bottles.
Never use newspapers to wrap about
anything eatable. It is economy to
have a supply of pnrafllu paper always
on hand.
Eggs should bo kept in a reccptucle
to themselves since, the shells (when
fresh) ore so porous every strong odor
is absorbed.
The smart woman saves time and
patience by keeping a shoo horn with
the children's rubbers to make their
donning easy.
Alum, tbe size of a hickory nut, dis
lolved lu a pint of stureb, will brighten
the color in muslins, ginghams and
calicoes after washing.
Cold rain water and soap will re
move machine grease. To remove
peach stains soak fabric In spirits of
camphor before wetting.
Grass stains on linen should be
soaked for a few minutes In kerosene;
then washed In very hot water with a
generous supply of soap.
After a ran of condensed milk has
been opened, keep tbe lid raised, or
better still, cut it off so the contents
will be exposed to the air.
For the meringue on pies use one
tablcspoonful of grauulated sugar to
the white of one egg. It is more sat
isfactory ttan powdered sugar.
Perch or other small fish are much

COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
R. C. Dun & Cp.'s Weekly Rcvicvl
of Trade ays:
Progress is slow but sure in the
leading branches of manufacture, con
tract being more readily placed fot
distant delivery, while the percentage
of idle machinery steadily decreases
Satisfactory news from leading iron
and steel centers tends to strengthen
confidence elsewhere, as the consump
tion of iron has been found a good
barometer of business conditions.
Jobbing and wholesale trade in Fall
and Winter wearing apparel expand
gradually, and such Spring lines as are
opened meet with a fairly satisfactory
reception considering the recent indis
position to provide for future require
ments. At many points the return ol
warm weather checked the revival ol
retail trade in heavy gonds, but a;
that movement had begun much ear
lier than usual, the net result thus far
is better than last year. Building op
erations have expanded, at some cities
establishing a noteworthy record fot
the month of September, and the per
mits recently issued promise well tot
the future.
Labor is fairly well employed, ac
cording to, the latent ofheia! trades
union reports. Latest returns of for
eign commerce compare very favor
ably with the corresponding time last
year, and railway earnings in the first
week of October were 6;r per cent,
larger than in 1903.
Failures this week were 208 in the
United States, against 20S last year,
and in Canada 24, compared with 28
a year ago.
Bradstreets says: Wheat, including
flour, exports for the week aggregate
I.J57, 1 75 bushels, against 1,105,928 last
week. Corn exports for llic week ag
gregate 857,517 bushels, against 652,

1 Deer Just Looked Around.
A deer entered the garden of Chas.
I Morgrage of Goffstown, N. H., and
I wandered around quite a while, not
offering to eat anything. At last It
squeezed out between the barbed
wires of the fence on one side of tho
railroad, passed across and through
the other barbed wire fence without
injuring Itself In the least.

Dogs Became Intoxicated.
A beer wagon collided with an Ice
cream stand at Providence, R. 1., and
the stock of cream was precipitated
Into the street. A leaky beer barrel
turned the mass Into a Rort of frozen
pudding, which was partaken of by
several dogs. Two of the more vora
cious of the animals became badly In
toxicated and wandered aimlessly
about In a most amusing manner for
a long time.
The Antiquity of Chtir.
Chairs were in use In Egypt so long
ago as S399 B. C. The Chinese em
ployed them from about 1300 B. C. Id
India they were used, ond are men
tioned as dating from 1100 B. C. House
chairs, with backs, were In use in
India A. D. S00. They are known tc
have been employed In Rome so ea-lj
as A. D. 70, being mentioned by Pliny
at that date. Chairs with foot rests
were used in Rome A. D. 150.
