"The duties of professional nurses
call them among a great many differ
ent people, and it is surprising to know
how many are suffering from the use
of coffee which is the primary cause
of the majority of many nervous dis
orders. My own experience has been
such that l feel that / can speak with
some knowledge Of the subject. s
For about ten years / was afflicted
with a severe nervous disorder, which
was so great that sleep became an un-
known thing to me without the use of
opiates | was a confirmed coffee
drinker at this time, but had never
thought that had anything to do with
the difficulty.
after coming to Chicago to live I
was told by an acquaintance, who had
been similar sufferer from nervous
ness, that he discovered ii was caused
by the use of coffee. and when he made
that discovery, gave UP the coffee and
took up the use of Postum Food Cof-
fee and was completely restored. His
argument sounded so logical, / was de-
ter1nined to make the experiment, and
to my surprise, upon leaving off the
coffee habit / commenced to improve.
This improvement has continued until

patients suffering from nervous troub-
lie to abandon the use of coffee and use
Postum. for I know what l am talking
about on that subject.
Occasionally private families do not
prepare Postum well, that is, they fail
to allow sufficient amount of time for
boiling. 1t requires more boiling than
coffee, but the care well repays,, for the
beverage Is delightful to the taste and
wonderfully nourishing. Maggie II.

PURTELL DEFEATS GoFF.
Golf Had Best of the First Rounds
But Gould Not Avoid Purtell.

Denver, Colo.s Sept. 27-Paddy Pur-
tell of Denver defeated Charley Golf of
Spokane tonight in six rounds, before
the Olympic Athletic club.
The men were scheduled to fight
twenty rounds at. the middle weight
limit. Up to the very end of the fight
Golf had all the best of it. He over
matched Purtell both in height and in
reach, and jabbed him repeatedly with
his left without a return. His favorite
blow was left jab to face and hard
right hook to ribs and he did this in
the first two rounds without Purtell
being able to counter effectively.
In the sixth round Purtell commenced
forcing matters. He landed a stiff left
on Colts neck and got light right
hook in the ribs in return. Then Pur-
tell rushed and swung his left to the
neck, following it with terrific right
swing to the jaw. Golf went down and
came up groggy. Purtell came again
with hard left swing and Golf clinched
to save himself. On the breakaway
Golf managed to keep out of danger the
few remaining seconds Of the round
and staggered to his corner. His sec
onds threw up the sponge just as the
bell rang for the seventh round, as he
was still dazed from Purtells punches.

about ten days, it is hoped, and then
Salt Lake will have an opportunity to
