TO SLEEP SOUND
Leave Off the Coffee.

A city solicitor for a grocery in
Americas, Georgia, reports that in
calling upon a Mrs. W.T.. Marsh, found
her complaining greatly about the loss
of sleep and nervousness in the family.
He suggested that perhaps the trouble
was caused by coffee drinking, and ad-
vised that they use Postum Food Coffee
in its place. A box of the new Food
Coffee was sent down to them and at
a call the second day. Mrs Marsh
stated that about three O'Clock in the
morning she was suddenly awakened
by her husband jumping up to dress,
stating that he must get off to work
She looked at the clock and told him
it was only three o'clock and he must
have made mistake. He said ne felt
there was certainly something wrong
with the clock for he had slept his
usual time, was perfectly refreshed and
had his nights rest out. The good
sound sleep continued night after night
after leaving off the coffee and using in
its place the Postum Cereal Food
Coffee.
The solicitor further says, 81 told this
experience of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh to
Mr.. H. F. Davenport, and after the
first nights trial, he told me he had
never slept better in years Mrs.
Davenport was in the store this after

Jack Hamilton of Troy Gets Decision
Over Omaha Kid.
New York. Sept. Oscar Gardner,
the Omaha Kid, did not fight up to his
usual standard when he met Jack
Hamilton of Troy at the Broadway
Athletic club tonight. Hamilton won
in a decisive manner, and the referee
gave him the bout at the end of the
twenty-fifth round. Gardner was a 2
to / favorite at the start, but MS
chances to win became less and less
as the fight progressed Hamilton was
careful and aggressive from the sound
of the gong. Gardner, on the other
hand, was careless and left many OPEN
ines. which Hamilton was quick to
take advantage of.
Gardner was f1odred in the fourth
round with swing on the jaw, and ne
was forced TO the ropes in the seventh
round. Hamilton put him over the
ropes several times after that.
Gardner began fighting hard in the
fourteenth. sending right to the body
and bringing it up to the head. 1t was
give and take right to the end, but
Gardner was bleeding badly in the
twenty-second. Gardner rushed at
Hamilton in the final round, landing
left and right on the head. Hamilton
staggered but pulled himself together
and went back with a swing on the jaw,
which put Gardner down. Gardner was
on his feet and fighting fercely when
the bell rang.
"Chip'' Morrison Of Cincinnati
whipped Jack Dwyer of Boston in the
preliminary bout. which did not last
eight rounds In the sixth and seventh
rounds Morrison punished his adversary
to such a degree that the spectators
shouted for the referee to<stop the bout
and he stopped the fight in the next
round.
