Creek overleaped its banks, and its
surging waves flooded the valleys far
and wide, Some of our friends were
driven from their homes and consider

Ragsdale, who has been a resident of
New York City for some time, will soon
be with the cold folks at home"

The Shakers have made great hit.
Their Digestive Cordial is said to be the
most successful remedy for stomach
troubles ever INTRODUCED. 1t Immediately
ing, builds up the feeble system and
makes the weak strong. The fact is,
foods properly digested are better than
so called tonics. The Cordial not only
contains food already digested, but is a
digester of other foods. Food that is
not digested does more harm than good.
People who use the Cordial insure the
digestion of what food they eat and in
this way get the benefit of it and grow
strong. The little pamphlets which the
Shakers have sent druggists for free dis
tribution, contain much interesting in
formation on the subject of dyspepsia

FIRST CH1CKERING PIANO MADE

There was time in the history of piano
manufacture when it was safe to buy al
most any piano. Why? Because there
were no cheap pianos made and person
was reasonably sure of getting an instru-
ment that (for those days. was good
one. The most prominent among these
old pianos was the grand old Chiokerihg.
1t was the best piano then, it is the best
piano today, steadily advancing through
all these years while many new manu-
facturers have sprung up and disappeared
they still hold the position they have en-
]oyed SO long. In the windows of Cressey,
Jones & Aliens may be seen the first
Chtokering piano made also one of their
latest productions in grands. The con-
trast is really of interest and shows the
great improvement made by this house
in the last three-quarters of a century.

heart disease.

OPENS HIS EYES.
A Practical Test to Discover How Coffee
Affects One.

Probably no one thing will more pro-
fundly sthrtle man than to find out by
actual proof what coffee drinking is doing
for him. When ne realizes that day after
day the physical machinery is not work
Ing right, he naturally casts about for
the cause in order to stop it before it goes
too far.
But to locate the cause is frequently
beyond the power of himself and even his
physician. If such cases can be induced
10 drop coffee and other narcotic drugs
like tobacco, etc., for short period and
use Postum Cereal Food Coffee, the truth
Is brought home in unmistakable terms.
The need Of a pure cereal coffee for hui
marty was the active cause for the dis
oovery of Postum. Plenty of Coffee
Substitutes existed but their unpalata-
Bile taste prevented their use.
1t required over year of experiment to
discover how to select the proper parts of
cereals and roast them in such way as
to give the taste of mild and high grade
Java coffee and yet preserve the entire
purity and food value.
Postum now has imitators that throw
samples about. which claim to be pure
grain, " wheat or cereal coffee, -
but careful test and investigation shows
that every article of that sort which has
any distinctive coffee flavors, is simply a
cheap, low grade, adulterated coffee; a
counterfeiter cares little what goes into
customers stomach. The analysis of
Postum is furnished the Pure Food Com
missioners and Physicians of various
states, and it is known to be absolutely
pure and highly nutritiye.
Ten days use of the genuine Postum,
properly boiled 10 minutes after boiling
commences, tells surprising tales to
partly sick men and women.
