Hopewell, Vn.? This famous Dupont
gunpowder town, that suddenly sprang
up and gave employment to thousands
during the World War, was eight years
old in April. Most of the families that
came in war times have gone, but many
bought homes and remained. Among
the first arrivals were Mr. and Mrs.
Walter L. Trevathan, of Vermont, who
bought property here and now have a
pleasant home in Battle Ground Annex.
In a recently-given statement, Mrs.
Trevathan said: "At times I have had
such severe pains In my sides I did not
know what to do. lama trained nurse
by profession, and nursed until I mar
ried. I was on my feet a great deal and
this seemed to aggrrftate my trouble.

tite grew very poor. I did not care for
anything to eat, but when I took a few
doses (of Cardui) my appetite picked
up. I wouldn't be without It."
Mrs. Trevathan said she had recom
mended Cardui to a great many women
whom she had nursed ? "and always
with beneficial results." "I am glad to
give this statement," she said, "so that
other women m%y know about the

many. In short, Jim Is an o;T ox.

his own. But there art- 'itent
powers In b!m unsuspectv! -ven
by himself and Opportunity < ..rues

Prominent wom'en condemn .lim's
met hoi of teaching; they d> inland

CHAPTER VIII? Continued.
* -7- U ?
Jennie blushed, and to conceal her
slight .embarrassment, got out for the
purpose of cranking her machine.
"But if I cannot line Him up?" said
she.
"I tank," said Haakon, "If you can't
line him up, you will have a chance
to rewoke his certificate when you
take office."
Jennie thought of Mr. Peterson's
suggestion as to ''lining up" Jim Irwin
as so thoroughly sensible that she
gave it a good deal of thought that
day. T? be sure, everybody had al
ways favored "more practical educa
tion," and Jim's, farm arithmetic,
farm physiology, farm reading and
writing, cow-testing exercises, seed
analysis, corn clubs and the tomato,
poultry and pig clubs he proposed to
have In operation the next summt*,
seemed highly practical; but to Jen
nie's mind, the fact that they intro
duced dissension in the neighborhood
and promised to make her official life
vexatious seemed ample proof that
Jim's work was visionary and Imprac
tical. Poor Jeunie was not aware of
the fact that new truth always comes
bringing, not peace to. mankind, but a
sword.
"Father," said she that night, "let^s
have a little Christmas party."
"All right," said the colonel. "Whom
ahall we Invite?"
"Don't laugh," said she. "I want to
invite Jim Irwin and his mother, and
nobody else."
"All right," reiterated the colonel.
"But why?" ,
"Oh," said Jennie, "I want to see
whether I can talk Jim out of some
of his foolishness."
"You want to line him up, do you?"
said the colonel. "Well, that's good
politics, and incidentally, you may get
' some good ideas out of Jim."
"Rather unlikely," said Jennie.
"I don't know about that," said the
colonel, smiling. "I begin to think that
Jlm'a a BTown Mouse. I've told you
about the Brown Mouse, haven't I?"
"Yes," said Jennie. "You've told
me. But Professor Darbishlre's
brown mice were simply wild and In
corrigible creatures. Just because it
happens to emerge suddenly from the
| forests of heredity, it doesn't prove
that the Brown Mouse Is any good."
"Justin Morgan was a Brown
Mouse," said the colonel. "And he
founded the greatest breed of horses
In the world." '
"You say that," said Jennie, "be
cause you're a lover of the Morgan
horse."
"Napoleon Bonaparte was a Brown
Mouse," said the colonel. "So was
George Washington, and so was Peter
the Great. Whenever a Brown Mouse
| appears he changes things In a little
I way or a big way."
"For the better, always?" asked
Jennie.
i "No," said the colonel. "Th? Brown
Mouse may throw back to slant-head
ed savagery. But Jim . . \ some
times I think Jim Is the kind of
Mendellan segregation out of which
we get Franklins and Edisons and
their sort. You may get some good
ideas out of Jim. Let us have them
here for Christmas, by all means."
i There Is no doubt that on Christ
mas day Jennie Woodruff was justi
fied in thinking that they were a
queer couple. They weren't like the
Woodruffs, at ,all. They were of a
different patterti. To be sure, Jim's
: clothes were not especially note
( worthy, being Just shiny, and frayed
, at cuff and Instep, and short of sleeve
| and leg, and lll-flttlng apd cheap.
Jim's quebrness lay not so much in his
clothes as In his personality.
On the other hand. Jeunie could not
help thinking that Mrs. Irwin's queer
ness w?s to be f?und almost solely In
her clothes. The black alpaca looked
undeniably respectable. , ? Jennie felt
It must have a story ? a story In which
the stooped, rusty, somber old lady
looked like a character drawn to har
monize with the period just after the
war.
But Jennie had the keenness tp see
that If Mrs. Irwin could have had an
up-to-date costume she would have
become a rather ordinary and not bad
looking old lady. What Jennie failed
to divine was that if Jim could have
invested a hundred dollars In the serv
ices of tailors, haberdashers, barbers
and other specialists in personal ap
pearance, and could have blotted out
his record as her father's field-hand,
lie would have seemed to her a dis
tinguish ed-looklng young man. Not
handsome, of course, but the sort peo
ple look after? and follow. ,
"Couie to dinner." said Mrs. Wood
ruff, who at tills Juncture had a hired
girl, but was yoked to the oar never
theless when it came to turkey and
the other fixings of a Christmas din
ner. "It's good enough, what there is
of it, and there's enough of it such as
it is ? bat the dressing in the turkey
would be better for a little more
sage !"
The bountiful uieal piled mountain
high for guest and hired help and fam
ily melted away in a manner to de
light the hearts of Mrs. Woodruff and
Jennie. The colonel, in stiff starched
shirt, black tie end frock coat, carved
wiiii i.tuch empressement, and Jim felt
almost for the first time a sense of
the value of manner.
"I had bigger turkeys," said Mrs.
Woodruff to Mrs. Irwin, "but I thought
it would be better to cook two turkey
hens instead of one great big gobbler
with meat as tough as tripe and
stuffed full pf fat."
"One of the hen's would 'a' been
plenty," replied Mrs. Irwin. "How
much did they weigh?"
"About fifteen pounds apiece," was
the answer. "The gobbler would 'a'
weighed thirty. I guess. Lie's pure
Mammoth Bronze."
"1 wish," said Jim, "that we could
get a few breeding birds of the wild
bronze turkeys from Mexico-"
"Why?" asked the colonel.
"They're the original blood of the
domestic bronze turkeys," said Jiin<
"and they're bigger and handsomer
than the pure bred bronzes, even.
They're a better stock than the N\?fth
ern wild turftcys from which our com
mon birds originated."
"Where do you learn all these
things, Jim?" asked Mrs. Woodruff.
"I declare, I often tell Woodruff that
It's as good as a lecture to have Jim
Irwin at table. My Intelligence has
fallen since you quit working here,
Jim." ;
There came Into Jim's eyes the
gleam of the man devoted to a Cause
? and the dinner tended to develop
Into a lecture. Jennie saw a little
more plainly wherein his queerness
lay.
"There's an education in any meal,
If we would Just use the things on the
table as materials for study, and fol

low their trails hack to their starting
points. This turkey takes us back to
the chaparral of Mexico ? "
"What's chaparral?" asked Jennie,
as a diversion. "It's one of the words
I have seen so often and know per
fectly to speak It and read it ? but
after all it's just a word, and nothing
more." .<? ' O ' .
"Ain't that the trouble with our edu
cation, Jim?" queried the colonel, clev
erly steering Jim back Into the track
of his discourse.
"They are not even living words."
answered Jim, "unless we have clothed
them In flesh and blood through some
sort of concrete notion. 'Chaparral'
to Jennie is just the ghost of a word.
6ur civilization fs full of inefficiency
because we are satisfied to give our
children these ghosts and shucks and
husks of words, instead of the things

hefted and handled and tested and
heard."
f ' CHAPTER IX
\ ?? - vV ,
The Brown Mouse Escapes. ,
Jennie looked Jim over carefully.
His queerness was taking on a new
phase ? and she felt a sense of sur
prise such as one experiences when
the conjurer causes a rose to grow
into a tree before your very eyes.*
"I think we dose so much time in
school," Jim ?vent on. "while the chil
dren are eating their dinners."
"Well, Jim," said Mrs. Woodruff,
"every one but you . Is down on the
human level. The poor kids have to
eat !" \ I
"But think how much good educa
tion there is wrapped up in the school
dinner ? if we could only get It out"
Jennie grew grave. Here was this
Brown Mouse actually introducing the
subject of the school ? and he ought
to suspect that she was planning to
line him up on this very thing ? If he
wasn't a perfect donkey as well as a
dreamer. And he was calmly wading
into the subject as If she were the
ex-farm-hand country teacher, and he
was the c6unty superintendent-elect I
"Eating a dinner like this, mother,"
said the colonel gallantly, "Is an edu
cation in Itself? and eating some oth
ers requires one; but Just how lam
in" ' Is wrapped up In the school lunch
is a 4lew one op me, Jim."
"Well." said Jim, "In the first place
i he childivn ought to cook their meals
.".s a p: i t uf ?| ?. school work. Prior to
t hat they to buy the materials.
And prior t<> ; lint they ought to keep
the accounts of the ? 5iooI kitchen.
They'd like to do these thjnga, and It
would help prepare them tor life on
an Intelligent plane, while they pre
pared the meals."
"Isn't that looking rather far
ahead?" asked the county superintend
ent-elect.
"It's like a lot of other things we
think far ahead." urged Jim. "The
only reason why they're far ofT is be
cause we think >them so. It's a thought
? and a thought is as near the mo
ment we think it as It will ever be."
"I guess that's so ? to a wild-eyed
reformer." said the colonel. "But go
on. Develop your thought a little.
Have some more dressing."
"Thanks, I believe I will." said Jim.
"And a Uttle more of the cranberry
sauce. No more turkey, please."
"I'd like to see the school class that
could prepare this dinner." said Mrs.
Woodruff.
"Why," said Jim, "you'd be there
showing them how! They'd get cred
its in their domestic economy course
for getting the school dinner ? and
they'd bring their mothers into it to
help them stand at the head of their
classes. And one detail of girls would
cook one. week, and another serve.
The setting of the table would come
In as a study? flowers, linen and ail
that. And when we get a civilized
teacher, table manners!"
"I'd take on that class." said the
hired man, winking at Selma Carlson,
tlie maid, from somewhere below the
salt. ''The way I make my knife f^pd
my face would be a great heip to the
children."
"And when the food came on the
table," Jim went on. with a smile at
his former fellow-laborer, who had
heard most of this before as a part
of the field conversation, "just think
of the things we could study while
eating It. The literary term for eat- j
ing a meal Is discussing it? well* the j
discussion of a meal under proper i
guidance is much more educative than !
a lecture. This breast-bone, now,"
said he, referring to the remains on his)
plate. "That's physiology. The cran
berry sauce ? that's botany, and com
merce, and soil management ? do you
know, Colonel, that the cranberry |
must have an acid soil? which would
kill alfalfa or clover?" j
"Read something of It," said the
colonel, "but It didn't Interest me !
much."
"And the difference between the J
typt-s of fowl on the table? that's
breeding. And the nutmeg, pepper and
coconut? that's geography. And every
thing on the table runs ba^k to geog
raphy. and comes to us -linked to our
lives by dollars and cents? and they're
mathematics." ' j
"We must have something more thqir
dollars and cents In life," said Jen
nie. "We must have culture."
"Culture," cried Jim, "Is the ability
tc think in terms of life? isn't It?"
"Like Jes?e James?" suggested the
hired man, who was a careful student
of the life of that eminent bandit.
There was a storm of ,laughter at
this sally amidst which Jennie wished
she had thought of something like
that. Jim joined in the laughter at ?
his own expense, but was clearly suf
fering from argumentative shock.
"That's the best answer I've had on
that point, Pete," he said, after the
disturbance had subsided. "But if the
James boys and the Youngers had had
the sort of culture I'm for, they would ,
have been successful stock men and j
farmers, instead of - train robbers.
Take Raymond Simms, for instance.
He had ail the qualifications of a mem
ber of the James gang when he came
here. Ail he needed was a ffew ex
asperated associates of his own sort,
and a convenient railway with unde
fended trains running over It But
after a few weeks of real 'culture'
under ? mighty poor teacher, he's de
veloping into the most enthusiastic
farmer I know. That's real culture."
"It's snowing like everything," said
Jennie, who faced the window.
"Don't cut your dinner short," said
the colonel to Pete, "but I think you'll
find the cattle ready to come ic out of
the storm when you get good and
through."
"I think I'll let 'em in now," said
Pete, by way of excusing himself. "I
expect to put in most of the day from
now on getting ready to quit eating.
Save some of everything for me, Sel
ma ? I'll be right back!"
"All night, Pete,"^sald Selm*.
Mrs. Woodruff and Jim's mother
went into other parts of the house on
research work connected with their !
converse on domestic economy. The j
colonel withdrew for an inspection of j
the live stock on the eve of the
threatened blizzard. And Jim was left
alone with Jennie in the front parlor.
Scanning him by means of her back
hair, Jennie knew that in another
moment Jim would lay his hand on
her shoulder, or otherwise advance to 1
personal nearness, as he had done the
night of his ill-stan-ed speech at the
schoolhouse ? and she rose Id self
defense. Self-defense, however, did
not seem to require that he be kept
at too great a distance; so she
maneuvered him to the sofa, and seat
ed him beside her. Now was the time
to line him up.
"It seems good to have you with us
today,** said she. "We're such old, old
friends."
"If you can't change your
methods," said Jennie, "I sug
gest that you resign!"

"Do you drink coffee ?
TF you are troubled with
headaches, insomnia, in
digestion, or sluggishness of
the liver or bowels, prob
ably one of the first ques- 1
tions your doctor asks is,
"Do you drink coffee?"
He knows, better than
anyone else, that the drug,
caffeine, present in coffee,
tends to irritate the nervous
system and is a frequent
cause of disturbance to
health.
If coffee causes trouble,
and you value health, stop
coffee and drink Postum.
Postum is a pure cereal
beverage ? absolutely free
from caffeine or any other
drug. It has a delicious
flavor, that many people
prefer to coffee.
Your grocer sells Postum In two forms: Instant
Postum (in tins) prepared instantly in the cup
by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal
(in packages) for those who prefer the flavor
brought out by boiling fully 20 minutes. The
cost of either form is about ooe-half cent a cop.
