When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change In health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in North Carolina says: My mother since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker and h;.d been troubled with her heart for a number of years, arid complained of that weak all over feeling and sick stomach. Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part, of the country arid took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning It. He replied that it was Postuni. I was so pleased with it, that after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal. The whole family liked it so well, that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum fori a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. I know Postum has benefited my self and the other members of the family, but rot in so marked a degree as In the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing."

(Copyright, 1909, bv New-- York Times.) New York, (Special.) The forecondengoing dispatch, though sed, tells clearly the leading facts ENGLISH Dr. SKYLARKS IN WOODS McCutcheon of Tacoma Brought Many Varieties of Song Birds to This Country. One of in the story, not only of Pearys Journey to the north pole, but also of a remarkably fast sfedge trip over the ice of the open polar sea. The dispatch says that the Roosevelt passed the winter of at Cape Sheridan, on the coast of Grant Land. The vessel had threaded the comparatively narrow channels, several hundreds of nrles in length, leading from Cape Sabine to the Arctic ocean. This journey is apt to be difficult and sometimes impossible, but the conditions were et idently favorable. The ship that disappeared in the fog while the crew of Pearys auxiliary steamer Erik were watching its departure from Etah made a good passage through the long channels, and arrived safely on the shores of the sea, where the explorer wa3 to start on his sledges for the north pole. But at Cape Sheridan Peary was not as far west as he probably had hoped to be. lie had announced his intention, in the previous year, of making his sledge route to the pole along some meridian much further to the west of his route in 1906, when ha made the highest north attained up to that time 87 d. 6, m. On that occasion he was greatly impeded by the rapid drift of the ice to the east which a little retarded his progress north, and worse still, carried him so far to the east that he had to make his landing on the coast of North Greenland, many days march from the Roosevelt, his base of supplies. On his expedition of 1905-0he tried hard to force the Roosevelt a good distance to the west of Cape Sheridan, but the ice baffled him. For one reason or another on the edge of the arctic winter last year he did not or could not take his veseTalong the northern coast of Grant Lnd to the west of Cape Sheridan, and rJ it .j;ent last winter not so far froLV.tsld iDei tlr in the ice in the winter of 1905-6- . It is no wonder that it took the party 15 days to travel westward as far as Cape Columbia. It is likely, however, that Commander Peary succeeded, before winter set in, in cacheing supplies to the westward so as to accelerate a little the westward movement of the sledge party before it struck out northward over the sea. Arriving at Cape Columbia on March 13 the sledges turned to the north on the sea ice. The expiorer had laid much stress upon the fact that he intended to travel much further to the west than on his trip in 1906. His dispatch shows, however, that he did not take to the sea any' farther to the west than he did on his earlier trip. Commander Peary says nothing in his report of being detained by pressure ridges or hummocks, and it is certain that he met with no impediment of this sort such as made his attempt to reach the pole in 1902 a continuous and terrible strugggle. A great obstacle and the one that him from undoubtedly prevented reaching the pole in 1906 was the wide water lanes or leads of water, some of them so long that he could not get around them. Pearys summary seems to show that he was a little over thirty-fivdays on the journey from the land to the north pole. In this time he was delayed about fourteen days by water leads, leaving a little more than three weeks for the actual sledging work. 1908-190- 9 members of his congregation to bring their canary birds to church.

The first winter he lost half his flock, but when spring came he released the remainder, and soon reports came to him of observations being made to prove that his imported birds were nesting. Every year since he has imported more birds, and this spring released 500 birds of seven varieties.

Dr. Charles McCutcheon, a wealthy retired physician of Tacoma, has maintained for the last five years a large aviary in which he rears song birds from Europe and turns them loose in the fields and woods of the northwest.
