A FRIENDLY GROCER
Dropped a Valuable Hint.
"For about eight years," writes a
lady, "I suffered from nervousness—
part of the time down in bed.
"Sometimes I would get numb, and
it would be almost impossible for me
to speak. At other times I would
have severe bilious attacks, and my
heart would flutter painfully when I
would walk fast or sweep.
"I have taken enough medicine to
start a small drug store, but without
permanent benefit. One evening our
grocer was asking my husband how I
was, and urged that I quit coffee and
use Postum, so he brought home a
package, and I made it according to
directions, and we were both delighted
with it. We quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum." (Tea produces
about the same effects as coffee, be-
cause they both contain the drugs
caffeine and tannin.)

month's time looked like another per-

t the;noying, and soon gets on the nerves

taf- , Boehme of England reports a case of
skirt' more than the usual interest, and it,

carf A certain J. S., 29 years old, 'a
color , clerk, had suffered for four years
from a twitching of the right foot
when at rest. Sometimes his left foot
also twitched. He would have spasms
of foot -twitching when in bed, when
seated, when walking. Hfe feet
seemed to go beyond his control and
ho would stagger as if drunk. Other
wise he was well, and there was noth-
ing in his family histo, y that shed
light upon his condition.
Dr. Boehme recognized that thane
was nothing organically wrong with
him, so he began studying his "sub-
conscious reflexes."
Dr. Boehme explained the twitching
to J. S., saying that most men when
seated cross one' leg over the other
and tend to swing the suspended foot,
This is generally the right foot. When
mentally perturbed the swinging be -
conies more prone--tnced. When J. S. -
returned to the unsatisfactory envie

shoulders in a wing -like arrangement,
giving the effect of sleeves when the
arms were raised. The ends were
wound loosely round the neck, quite
as one would use the regular throw
scarf of heavier material. It was
exceedingly practical and pleased the
eyes of those who appreciate dainti-
ness and grace.
In our quest for evening necessi-
ties, the all enveloping coat must not
be forgotten. Those with large,
roomy sleeves, or no sleeves at all,
are the most practical for the deli-
cate trimmings and fabrics they are
to cover. Velvet, velours, and broad -
clothes are of course the standard
materials, practical and rich in effect;
but many beautifully colored, novelty
