TO SLEEP SOUND.
LEAVE OFF THE COFFEE.

A city solicitor for a grocery store in
Americas, Georgia. reports that in call
ing upon a Mrs. w. r. 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 advised
that they use Postum Food Coffee in it's
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 sud
denly awakened by her b 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 a mistake. He said
he 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 eff the coffee and using in its
, place the Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
The solicitor further says: II told this
experience of Mr.. and Mrs. Marsh to Mr..
II. r. Davenport. and after the first
nights trial, he old me he had never
slept better in years. Mrs. Davenport
| was in the store this afternoon pronounce
ing it wonderful.
Some of the doctors here are strong
advocates of Postum Food Coffee. One
| lady, Mrs. w. II. Howard. buys it by the
/ dollars worth, and is getting all her
guests and acquaintances to use it. Thu

FOR YOUNG MEN.
PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF A
BRANCH OF THE Y. NJ. G. A.

Field Secretary c. S. Ward, of the in
ternatiOnal committee of the Young
Mems Christian Association. arrived in
town last Saturday and is stopping at
tn Dorothy. He has come at the request
of those citizens who are anxious to or
ganize an association and has spent his
time, thus far, in examining the condi-
lions with reference to his proposed work.
He has been down in the mines and talk
ed with the miners, as we'll as the young
men in the churches. He has noted the
young men on the streets, in the saloons
and gambling houses and talked with
many Of them. He has inquired into the
conditions Of business and has been sur
prised at the high wages paid and evil
dent prosperity of all classes. except those
who actually squander their money.
There is no better opportunity for an
association in the country, and yet Butte
is the only city of so, 900 inhabitants that
has no association. The well paid young
men of Butte would appreciate such an
association and it would save many thou
sands of dollars to legitimate lines Of
trade. 1t would make better workmen
and clerks and business men and would
thus increase the prosperity of The, city.
This is on condition that the association
is established on the best lines, based on
so years of experience. For this reason
the international committee has advised
against organization mere up TO the pres
| ent time.
The day is past when associations are
organized wherever a few young men de-
sire it. Association work has been re-
duced to a science. Experience and OBJ
~servation have shown is necessary
to meet a given problem. The problem
in Butte is a large one and should not be
trifled with. The association should be
so organized and equipped hat every
young man in Butte would find something
attractive in it.
Large umbers of young men need the
gymnasium and baths for their health.
A still larger number could be led to
profit by an evening school, where sub
jects were taught which would help them
in their special line of work. An asso-
citation could be made the social head
quarters of thousands, the home of men
away from home.
But to do all this there must be a
strong force of men to work, led by a
good secretary, and a liberal equipment.
1t requires a large building to accOmmo-
date such a work and it will be difficult
to rent such a building in Butte. Most
cities of this size have buildings erected
for the association. Perhaps the citizens
of Butte would prefer not to pay rent,
but to put their one into such a build
ing.
Mr.. Ward does not want the present
movement to be COMPOUNDED with previous
spasmodic efforts. made without the co.
Operation of the international committee.
i AS field secretary for the northwest, he
will nave a permanent relation to this
work and, II the citizens really want it,
he proposes to see it through.
