A SLIGHT MISTAKE.
The Eyes Sometimes Deceive.

There are a number of experiences
in real life from which interesting
facts can be gathered. The treasurer
of large manufacturing concern,
whose name need not be given for
the purpose of this article, has been
compelled to give up drinking coffee
on account of it's effect upon his
stomach and nervous system.
1t was suggested that he try the
health coffee Postum Cereal." as
that is made of the healthful grains
and takes the place of coffee very
nicely.
He rather felt that it was foolish
step to undertake to use any article
with the expectation that it would
take the place of coffee, which his
family used of the best grade of
Mocha and Java mixed. However a
package was ordered for the house
and the next morning at breakfast
the coffee pot came on as usual; when
the beverage was poured out and
served to him he told the servant
that he had ordered some Postum, a
new drink, and did not care for the
coffee.
A laugh went round the table and
he declined to believe that the rich
liquid with the aroma and fragrance
that reached his nostrils was the
health coffee. Investie alton, how
ever, convinced him of the fact, and
its use day by day without the old
sick feeling clinches the argument.
Postum is made by the Postum
Cereal Co., Linn, of Battle Creek,
Mich, and has winning way Of it's
own; when once introduced into the
family it answers every purpose of
the finest coffee without the atten-
dant aches and ills. Being composed
strictly and wholly of the pure
cereals there is no question or argu-
ment or possible doubt regarding the
healthful and nourishing properties,
for children as well as adults.

CASES OF INSTRUMENTATION.
A Brother of Kenneth Fuller Sus-
pended Yesterday.

The recent trouble in the eighth
grade in the high school building has
borne such fruit as was to have been
expected. Two or three of the teach
ers in other buildings have met with
resistance on the part of pupils, when
attempting to admonish them for
wrong doing. The pupils, even the
little tots hardly out of dresses, have
warned the teachers not to touch
them under penalty Of being prose-
cuted.
Wednesday, Warren Fuller IN older
brother Of Kenneth Fuller, and a
member of the lowest class of, the
High school, was suspended from
school pending the action Of the
school board on his case. He refused
to take his seat with his class yester-
day when school called, or to leave the
building and, according to Superin-
tendent Kenaston. was insolent and
threatening. He threatened to black
Mr.. Kenaston's other eye, and con-
ferred an insulting epitheJ upon him,
so the superintendent states. Mr..
Kenaston finally, by peaceable
means, induced him to go, but
he returned in half an hour, and in
the presence of a witness consented to
repeat the words that he used. Then
he was informed that he need not re-
turn to the school, except by consent
of the school board.
Owing to the absence of Supt.
Kenaston, Principal Searles and Miss
Crawford, no session of the high
school was held today.

Deafness Cannot be Cured.

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin.
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that can not be cured by
