THREE COFFEE WRECKS.
Plain Facts Worth Considering.

For the past six years, up to twelve
months ago, L was perfect wreck
and slave to coffee. 1t kept me in a
Frustrated condition continually.
Gradually my heart became affect
ed and suffered intense pain in the
left side and over the region of the
heart.
Every now and then had nervous
spells that laid me up for weeks at Il
time. l was also troubled with short
ness of breath whenever l eNerted
myself in any way.
could not lie on my left side and
my sleep was broken with severe pains
and smothering sensations. The doc
tor told me that it was coffee drink
ing.
1 put myself under his treatment,
but did not leave off the coffee, and
as / obtained no help, became despond-
ent and gloomy.
BY chance learned of the Postum
Food Coffee and concluded | would
try and quit the coffee habit and use
Postum. After weeks time | felt
greatly improved, and continued us
ing the Postum and am still using it.
NV appetite returned to me and |
gradually regained by health and
strength, and am now as well and
hearty as ever was. | have no re-
turn of my heart trouble since using
Postum.
do not understand that Postum is
in any way a medicine, but that it is
a food, whereas the ordinary coffee is
Il very powerful drug, as shown in my
case and many others.
Two of my near neighbors were adj
dicted to coffee, and it treated them
much rs it did me. They are Mrs. NJ.
N. Powell and Mrs. Mary Pitts.
When they found what u change
had been made in me by leaving off
coffee and using Postum, they threw
away their old coffee pots, got some
new ones and began to use Postum.
The first time they tried it they did
not like it very well, but they soon
found that they had not allowed it to
boil long enough. Now they are two
as healthy ladies rs you ever saw, rosy
and well: their physical aches and ills
all gone. They sleep and cat well
and seem to enjoy life better than they
ever did before. Mrs. Emma Harris,

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid
Increase of Heart Troubles.

DO Not BE Alarmed But Look for the
Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing,
and while this may be largely due to
the excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stomachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real organic disease is incurable;
but not one case in hundred of heart
trouble is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by the
same great nerves, the sympathetic
and pneumogastric.
In another way, also, the heart is
affected by the form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food. There is
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distcnded stomach on the heart and
lungs, interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the
blood. making it thin and watery,
NHlCu lIIlldltS anu WcdheuS Inc HedII-
The most sensible treatment for
heart trouble is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assimil-
alton of food.
This can be done by the regular use
after meals of some safe, pleasant and
effective digestive preparation, like
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which
may be found ut most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless di-
gestive elements i'll pleasant, con-
Venient form.
1t is safe to say that the regular,
persistent use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at meal time will cure any
form of stomach trouble except cam
Ger of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets
sold by druggists at 30 cents. Little
book on stomach troubles mailed free.

mirth. melody, music, specialties, etc,
has heen entirely rewritten for this
season, and is said to be very much
more amusing than before. 1t is just
the sort of play that is popular with
a tri-city audience. ''Hogan's Alley"

Bowery in New York, and the play in

famous with its illustrations, includ-
ing Hogan and Brogan, played by the
stars, Gilmore and Leonard, the '.yel-
low kid, " Liz and the goats. There
is little sense or plot to the play, but

PATIENTS TRANSFERRED.
Eighty Men and Women Brought From
Dunning to WATERFOWL

Dunning to Watertown.
Eighty demented men and women.
inmates of the Cook county asylum ut
Dunning, were brought by special
train over the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railway to the Illinois West
ern hospital at Watertown yesterday
afternoon.
The excursion was in charge of Su-
perintendent A. \. LANCE, of the Dun
ming asylum, and j. w Parker, as
sistant Superintendent of the asylum
at Watertown, both of whom with six
guards. accompanied the patients to
their destination.
The reason for the transfer of the
Cunning patients is to relieve the
overcrowded condition at the Cook
county institution. There are still
1, 342 inmates at the Dunning asylum,
which is as many as can be comforta-
bly accommodated.
The WATERFOWL hospital is only
partly filled. Its capacity is CO. pa
tients. Cook county is entitled to
send Sc additional ones to the west
ern hospital, making the quota of 1l6.
The remaining number will be COM
mitted to Watertown directly.
1t was a friendless list of passengers
that the special train bore when it
left Cunning at $50 o'clock, says the
Chicago Journal. One pitiful case
was that of mother and Il daughter,
Mrs. Emily Sammon and Edith Sam
mon, both demented. who occupied
ad iacent seats in one of the three cars,
though neither recognized the other.

chief fault to be found is among the
occupants of cottages, where stove
pipe is put through a hole in the roof

is only few inches out of the roof,
when the ordinances require that the
pipe or chimney should be four feet
above the roof.

Money and Marriages.

From the Providence Journal: Il e
lack of money that keeps men from
marrying? This is the reason often
advanced, and it seems to be justified
by the recent episode at Chicago, where
fifty couples rushed to take advantage
of a free performance of the ceremony

Perhaps it is only in the higher walks
of life that the blessed estate of holy
matrimony is avoided on financial
grounds. Society demands more and
more of those who belong to 1t, and
young men in moderate circumstances
dread the burden of a wife and family,
preferring their own selfish pleasure.

Use for Old Watches.

New York Tribune: Almost every
household has a few old gold and sill
yer watches tucked away in obscure
bureau drawers. The works are u.s.
ually worthless, and the size Of the
old-fashioned timepieces make them
undesirable, even If they could be put
In order. Here is a suggestion for
utilizing the cases, which are often
quaint and beautiful: Take out the
works, have jeweler cut off the
thumbpiece and fill in the hole. Then
make a round velvet or satin pincush-
ion to match the colors Of the bed
room, and fit it carefully into the met
al case. A fat Dutch watch engraved
with windmills, transformed into a
blue silk cushion, makes a most eff
fective addition to a delft boudoir.

I.,ouid Air In Surgery.

In the case of the X-rays. 1t is pos
slble that one of the earliest practical
uses of liquid air will be in surgery.
Already experiments have indicated
that spray Of liquid air can be APP
piled rs q local anaesthetic, but the
application should never be made OK
cept by an experienced operator. In
a few minutes small part Of the body
can be frozen as hard as ice. and
surgical operations conducted with
the aid of liquid air are attended with
no hemorrhage. In the Medical Rec
ord DR.. A. G. White describes various
experiments with liquid air, including
the successful treatment of such dis
eases as sciatica, neuralgia and ivy
poisoning. Boils and carbuncles can
be aborted with liquid air, and 1t IL

EFFECT OF FLOWING ICE.
As Compared with That of Other sculp-
turing Agents.

turing Agents.
The action of flowing ice whether in
the form Of river-like glaciers or broad
mantling folds, is but little understood
as compared with that of other sculp-
turing agents, says the Atlantic. Riv-
ers work openly where people dwell,
and so do the rain and the sea thun-
dering on all the shores Of the world;
and the universal ocean Of air, though
invisible, speaks loud in a thousand
voices and explains its modes of work.
ing and it's power. But glaciers back
in their cold solitudes work apart from
men, exerting their tremendous ener-
'gies in silence and darkness. Coming
lin vapor from the sea, flying invisible
on the wind, descending in snow,
changing to ice, white, spirit-like, they
brood outspread over the predestined
landscapes, working on unWearled
through unmeasured ages, until in the
fullness of time the mountains and
valleys are brought forth, channels fur
rowed for the rivers, basins made for
meadows and lakes, and soil beds
spread for the forests and fields that
man and beast may be fed. Then, van
ishing like clouds, they melt into
streams and go singing back home to
the sea. Standing on this adamantine
old monument in the midst of such en-
ergy, getting glimpses of the thoughts
|of God, the day seems endless; the
sun stands still. Much faithless fuss
is made over the passage in the bible
telling of the standing still of the sun
for Joshua. Here you may learn that
the sun stands still for every devout
mountaineer-for everybody doing
anything worth doing, seeing anything
worth seeing. ODe day is as thou
sand years, e thousand yes,c Gee Gay
and while yet IL :Ae flesh you enjoy
immortality.
