find some form of physical all or functional
listurbance-perhaps muddy complexion or
weak eyes, incipient heart failure, kidney
trouble, liver or bowel disorders or some
form of weakness that shows plainly
enough by the cry for relief sent up from
some organ of the body.
Why does the dismissal of Coffee and
the use of Postum bring help? Expert
ments in artificial digestion show clearly
to the scientific investigator that Coffee ar
rests digestion, and according to one au-
thority allows only 81 per cent. of the food
to be digested. That strikes at the very
keystone to the arch OF health Failure in
digestion means lack of good blood, and
therefore a lack of food for the nerve CEN

that disorganized nervous system may

Two Little Migrants" melodrama in
four acts, adapted for America by Charles
Klein from Les Doux Gosses," by Pierre
De Courcelle, will have its first presenta-
ton in this city at the Park Theater the
last half of this week. The plot tells within
the compass Of the first two scenes the
story of a wife who, for many years, has
been grossly unfaithful to her husband, of
the suspicious which fall on her chaste and
blameless married sister, of the latter's at
tempts to shield the evil-doers; of the furi-
Gus jealousy Of the husband of the good
wife, reaching such a pitch, that he not
only proclaims his own son illegitimate,
but pays a burglar to make him a thleI.
The strongest interest begins when the two

She is his mother. The incidents which i'm

Out Of the cavern of Time l spring,
On the dancing feet OF the wind,
Wildly oh! wildly my way wing,
While the gray clouds hurry behind
Trailing a mantle far the sky,
And the maniac winds so believing by.
The scudding grasses all shiveTlng fly
And the plants crouch down to the EARTH
The old oaks groan and the poplars sigh.
But l laugh with frenzied mirth.
And call on the tempest to mock their cries
With thunderous tongues and flaming eyes.
Not a trembling tree but lifts its arms
With a vain appeal 10 the skies,
Oh! love their terrors and wild alarms,
And the merciless, mad replies
From the foam -hecked mouths OF the chahns
