THE NEW STIMULANT.
Makes Strength Without
Weakness or Reaction.

Stimulation is the increasing of vitality,
strength, energy, output
Reaction is always the worst part of it.
BY healthful stimulation we can aid ma
tllra to throw off sickness and the results of
sickness. We can cure the effects OF over
work, mental worry, etc.
That is, by stimulation WITHOUT reaction.
For instance, the stimulation of MATTED
KOFFEE- KOLA. The reason there is NO
reaction with Malted-Koffee- kola is that it
is a FOOD stimulant.
Only food can give lasting strength. AL
cohol is not q food; its effet is not lasting.
Matted Koffee-K ola is the Shaker non-alco-
hoIic, non Intoxicating food stimulant
1t is made from the matted seeds of Caffea
and Ko4a 1t stimulates like beer, wine, ETC.,
without ther harmful reaction.
Malted-Koffee-K ola CLEARS the brain,
STRENGTHENS the body, renews vitality
When you suffer from nervousness, head
ache, Indigestion, exhaustion, loss of appe-
tite, lack of ambition, dizziness, heart fail
llre and the results of overwork of any kind,
YOU may know that Matted Koffee- Kola will
relieve YOU; that q few doses will make life
worth living; that the reaction of other slim
ulantS will never come.
This is the secret of its. wonderful success

The Meanest Nan.

To the large number of stories of the
"meanest man" which are frequently re-
lated should be added that of certain
Frenchman famous for his habit of grum-
bling at everything and on every occasion.
He was attacked by inflammatory rheu-
matism and was very carefully nursed by
his wife, who was very devoted to him, in
spite of his fault finding disposition. His
suffering caused her to burst into tears
sometimes as she sat by his bedside.
One day friend of this invalid came in
and asked how he was getting on.
BADLY, badly" he exclaimed, and it's
all my wife's fault
''Is it possible9" asked his friend in sur
prise.
Eyes; the doctor told me that humidity
was bad for me, and there that woman sits
and cries just to make it moist in the
room. "-Pearson's Weekly.

BEARS A CHARMED LIFE.
An Ohio Farmer Who Lives in Spite of
Numerous Accidents

II ever a man bore charmed life Ma :
than Porter Of Cross Greek township is
that man. He has met with number of
accidents that would have ended the life
of any ordinary human being, but Nate
SEEMS possessed Of as many lives as cat,
says the Ohio State journal. He is just
now going about, after having been
kicked squarely in the forehead by a
horse. His apple orchard is on the side
of hill, and he has fallen out of nearly
every tree in it several times, and never
was more than shaken up.
Some years ago log rolled over him
as If his had been made of rubber Then
he went TO d picnic and ate ice cream
that poisoned every body else, but beyond
little sick spell he never felt any dis
comfort. Several years ago his physician
told him to settle up his business affairs
aud prepare for the hereafter, as he might
live two years and he might not live
more than two days. He came out of the
DOCTORS Office and shook hands with
his friends, telling them of the good news
impaired to him by the doctor, and ad-
ding that he did not believe q word the
doctor had told him. He lived to see the
doctor buried.
Porter holds that he could go through
powder mill explosion without even
smelling the powder. The minor acci-
dentE he has met with are innumerab le
