seed grows a black covering. The seed

CRITICAL TESTS
OF the practical and trained mechanics
from Maine. While as inventors always
do he had absolute faith in the ability
of the production of his inventive skill to
do all be claimed for 1t, he had never yet
been able to convince practical railroad
men Of the real value of his machine. In
the person of the keen eyed machinist,
that had bent for hours over the cranks,
levers and wheels, the almost disheart-

Mai ne believed. From that moment this
particular inventor knew nothing but
the sweetness of success and the most
modern engine of today contains this

1t was upon Higgins advice that this

Maine boy and it is today the almost
universal custom to include it in marine
engine construction.
Mr.. Higgins long railroad experience
brought him in personal contact with

of those days are replete with.interest.
Here's hoping he may live to be hun

MORE FIN
To be Well Than All the Rest of the
Fun on Earth.

Some physicians say that all ner-
vous disorders arise from a disordered
stomach, and that even the peculiar
diseases of females are directly trace
able to an unbalanced nervous system
caused by stomach troubles.
The stomach may be suffering, but
will not show it there; frequently the
distress will be telegraphed over the
nerves to the head, eyes, back or alb
domen
Medicines are not so much needed as
good common sense in eating and
drinking. Coffee is one of the most
prolific causes of trouble with the
stomach, principally because people
continue to use it when they are feel
ing bad, not knowing that the poison
Gus alkaloids of coffee directly check
digestion and attack the liver
A dismissal of coffee for a week or
ten days will show many sufferers the
cause of their troubles and while they
won't get we'll in that time, the i'm
provement in health will open their
eyes. Postum, the health coffee, made
at Battle Greek, Mich, can be used by
those who are troubled with coffee, and
it agrees perfectly with the weakest
stomach, while the pure food elements
of the grains of which it is made will
nourish and fatten the body. Return
to natural living and get well.
