A COFFEE LIVER,
Peculiar Effects OF the Beverag

=
Unfortunately I was the unwilling
possessor of a hopelessly torpid liver,
which kept growing more and more
hopeless as the years went by. 1t final
ly became impossible for me to obtain
sleep at night unless absolute stiffness
reigned.
Living in the city, I was disturbed
many times at night, SO that finally I
was sent to the country, and there the
least bark of dog or the sound of a
cowbell broke up my light repose and
put me into desperately nervous con-
dition. Matters grew rapidly worse,
and finally eliminated in a severe i'll
ness. When 1 was convalescent the
doctor positively forbade my using cof-
fee and recommended Postum Cereal
Food Coffee
This was terrible blow, as was a
coffee fiend, but I was weak enough to
be sensible, and SO I determined to try
Postum although I went at it very I'M
willingly. I determined to know that
it was made right, so I read the direc-
tions carefully, and made the first cup
myself. I was amazed at the rich
brown liquid that steamed forth from
the coffee pot at luncheon that day, and
still more amazed when, upon tasting
1t, l found I had a most delightful
beverage, with a delicious coffee flavor
1t is needless to say that Postum ap-
peared upon my table from that time
on. AS the days went by I gradually
noticed a change for the better in
point of health. It took some time to
recover from the rack of the nervous
system caused by coffee, but I became
more and more conscious that I was
sleeping soundly and improving stead
lily. Naturally my irritability disap-
peared. 1 find myself now with twice
yes, ten times-the. ability for enjoy
ment that l previously had.
One of my friends, upon learning that
I had been healed by leaving off coffee
and using Postum, exclaimed and Won
dered how I could drink that stuff ]
replied that we were very fond of it
indeed, actually preferring it to any
brand of coffee, whereupon she re-
marked that coffee was such g. beauti-
full, clear liquid, and had such a deli
cious taste, while Postum was muddy
and fiat. I saw at once that my
friend had failed to have her Postum
boiled properly. and determined to give
her some good Postum. She is very
easily prejudiced, SO, shortly after.
when she came to visit me at the lake,
I asked her to try some new coffee and
for two weeks / served Postum to her,
she believing all this time that she was
drinking a very high priced and ex
pensive brand of coffee. When, at the
end Of her visit 1 told her that she had
been having Postum Food Coffee two
and sometimes three times day all of
the period Of her visit, she took the joke
in good part. and said "If that is true.
I am already a member of the Postum
army, and I will never resign" Anna

ARTHUR MILLER'S SAD END.
DELIRIoUs FROM FEVER, HE
TAKES HIS LIFE.
Was Widely Known and Had
Host Of Friends-A Sufferer
for Many Years.

while in a fit of delirium, resulting
from an acute attack of pneumonia,
Arthur Miller Heating generally
known as Arthur Miller-ended his lie
yesterday morning at his home on SIX
teenth street, near ]. The deed was
done with a pistol, and death was al
most instantaneous.
For several years past Mr.. Miller had
suffered greatly from rheumatism, com
plicated by gout, but latterly his nealth
was fairly good UP to few days ago.,
when he was taken down with pneumo-
mia IT was a very severe attack, and
being a very fleshy person he suffered
severely.
On Thursday night his condition was
such that the constant watchfulness OF
his wife and two attendants were neces-
sa1y to prevent him, in his delirious
spells. from leaving his bed. He was
resting more quietly in the morning and
the attendants We're allowed to leave
the room for a little rest.
Mrs Miller also went out for a few
minutes. and on returning found the
patient dashing water over his head
and shoulders. His actions showed that
he hardly realized what he was doing,
and when demonstrated with he replied
that he must go down town and attend
to his business.
He was finally induced to desist. from
the vigorous application of water TO- his
head, and Mrs. Miller stepped into an
adjoining room to get some dry gar
ments for him. AS soon as her back
was turned the delirious man took his
pistol from bureau drawer and dis
charged a bullet into his brain Hesfell
where he stood and expired in few
moments.
Deceased was born near Coloma, FL
Dorado County, in 1858. He was a
member of Sacramento Parlor, No. 3,
Native Sons of the Golden West, also
of the knights of Pythias. He was a
man of most genial and generous ma
ture, and was liked by every one that
knew him. Even when suffering from
long-continued attacks of rheumatism
and unable to move about except by the
aid of crutches his good nature never
forsook him. If Arthur Miller had
been millionaire the world would have
known of him as one of the benefact-
Ors of his race, for he was generous
and liberal to fault
Mr.. Miller in early life took up the
calling of bartender, and was identified
with some of the best-maintained sa
looms in this city, San Francisco and
Tombstone, Arizona. He lived in the
latter place when it was enjoying its
great mining boom. but the gathering

SAD AFFAIR.
A Four Months Old Babe Found
Dead in It's Crib.

Mr.. and Mrs. w. F. Lockwood, who
live in Slater's Addition, We're shocked
yesterday morning at finding in its crib
the dead body of their infant daughter
Mabel, four months old, who was ap-
parently in good health when they re-
tired on Thursday night
About 2 o'clock Mr.. Lockwood arose
to feed the little one, and then made
the terrible discovery that their cooling
babe was cold in death Coroner Nc
Mullen thinks that, inasmuch as there
il no physician who can certify to the
cause Of the child's death, it will be his
duty to have it determined by an autop-
sy. 1t is possible the child died of a
sudden attack of Group, or it may have
lain on its face and smothered The
parents are in deep grief over their
loss.

"ou;t Your Stealing"

This is not very attractive title for
a sermon, but possibly the pastor OF
the Congregational Church may be able
to- say some things under this head in
his sermon Sunday evening that needs
to be said. A little homily on this
theme may be of benefit to goodly
number of people. If you do not need
the sermon yourself, go and watch Its
effect on those who do need 1t. The
church doors are open for you.

About $50 o'clock last night fire
started in the Sanitary Baths at Sew

The new chemical engine only was
used in extinguishing the remaining
flames, and it proved a perfect success.

The location OF the proposed new CEN
t-al FIRE station was visited and the
best layout for such a build ng was dis
cussed in general way. The main diff
ference between the committee and the
commissioners is mostly confined To
the question OF whether sitting rooms
should be provided for the men on the
ground floor. The members Of the COM
mittee are not fully sat SIZED that IL 4
would be better 10 send the men up- /
stairs when they are not working on /
the apparatus, cleaning up or out on /
active service, but they know that they \
can reduce the cost of the new build \
ing by making 1t smaller.
Alderman Gray suggested that the /
trouble might be obviated by making I
two wings OF two stories each with a !
central building carried up. That would
reduce the cost, give the commission
ers all the room they desire. and at the
same time provide a building that
would be slightly as fire department
headquarters.
After lunch the committee visited
