A GIRLS COMPLEXION
Comes From the Inside.

Whenever / failed 10 get my coffee for
breakfast. | would have a sick headache
before noon. 1t seemed to me a curious
thing that naturally healthy girl should
have sick spells of this kind unless she
had been dosed in the morning with some
thing.
| naturally concluded that all was not
right. and inasmuch as l was in a very
nervous condition anyhow, / went 10 the
doctor for nerve tonic.
He told me l would have to quit drink
ing coffee. and when ] said | could not
possibly do it because / always got sick
If | didn't have the coffee, he said. Use
Postum Food Coffee" Well, ! tried it
twice, and gave it up because it tasted so
fat.
One day was up to DR.. Ruggless In
frmary and remarked to Mrs. Ruggles
that the Or. had told me that / must leave
of coffee and wanted me to use this new
tangled stuff called Postum" but that it
was positively unbearable She said. My
dear, you have never had a good cup of
Postum evidently. / said. No, | never
have. l have only tried it twice. Well,
she said. you go back and look at the
package and you will observe that the di-
rections insist upon continued boiling, at
least fifteen minutes not that length Of
time for the pot TO set on the stove but il
must stay there until it begins to boil.

guarantee you will get a fine delicious
tasting, black rich cup Of coffee, and per-
haps better favored than any you ever
tried before. The old-fashioned coffee is
actually killing you" she said. You are
terribly nervous, and your complexion is
a long ways from what it should be at your
age"
We'll. when ] got home, / tried making
some Postum at once, and followed di-
rectioDs carefully. and / must say il was
just delicious. ] have continued TO use ii
ever since.
I am well and hearty now, and my COM
pleXion has cleared up so that during the
last three months people remark to me
continually, How clear your skin is,''
am naturally Of light complexion and
fair. DIR. Ruggles has all of his patients
use Postum instead of ordinary coffee I
have induced papa TO take up Postum and
he likes ii very much. One of our neigh
bors, Mr. c. A. Barke, was i'll in bed with
heart and some kind of stomach COM
plant He was a habitual coffee drinker.
but when he got down, DR.. Ruggles took
his coffee away and gave him Postum Food
Coffee. He is almost well now, and says
that he believes the Postum was the main
cause of his recovery. great many
in our town use Postum in place of ordin-
ary coffee. Miss Mabel Bangle, Stafford,

SENT FREE TO men
Geo. Wright Was Restored to Health and Makes Gener
Gus Offer to Every Sufferer From Lost Manhood.

ing today All who will write him letter
asking for a copy of the prescription will
receive it by return mail free of any charge
whatever.
Mr. Wright says no one can appreciate
the horrors of lost manhood except he has
suffered them. No one can help such SUI
ferers unless he knows a cure and has him
self been restored to full manhood. Mr..
Wright's case was an extreme case. He
suffered for many years. He saw his physi-
cal powers go from him as the result of in
sidious disease until he was reduced to
condition of senility, and the best doctors
in the country gave him up to die.
He asserts that his ten years suffering,
both mentally and physically, was turned
to unbounded Joy in a single night through
a rare combination of medicines that liter
ally made him young again. 1t is the pre-
scription of this discovery that his enthusl-
asm leads him to offer free to any man,
young or old, who feels that his animation
or the fire of ambition has left him and
needs something that will not only brace
him up and enable him to be prepared for
any undertaking which may present itself,
but will restore the parts to their original
size and vigor.
There is no question but what In his in
dividual case the results were just as de-
scribed, and it seems quite probable that
any man who believes himself TO be weak
may profit by sending for this free pre-
scription. Many people wonder how he can
afford to send this prescription free, but 1t
costs him little to do so, and he feels a
philanthropic interest in giving weak men
an opportunity to cure themselves.
A request to G. B. Wright, music dealer,
box 1245, Marshall Mich. for his free pre-
scription will be promptly and privately
complied with by return mail

Derby, Conn.,, Jan. 4.-The Rev. F. d.
Luddington, pastor of the Shelton Baptist

Of Derby, Shelton and Ansonia. On one
of the dummies burned was pacard
which read, The Insuiter of Virtuous
Women"
He has also been threatened with su
for slander by the Rev. DR.. B. F. De
Costa. OF New York, unless he retracts a
statement that DR.. De Costa deliberately
lied and blasphemed in the references he
made to the Catholic Church, which the
Rev. Mr.. Ludddington undertook to re-
flute.
In Sunday evening sermon Mr.. Lud-
dington, in the course of bitter attack
upon the Catholic Church, accused Dr. De
Costa of deliberately trying, with bias
phemy, to pollute the cause he represent
ed, when he said that Professionalism made
OF marriage a state of concubinage. Mr..
Luddington's sermon stirred up his con-
gregation and few days later he resign

Yesterday morning letter was re-
ceiVed from DR.. De Costa, addressed TO
the deacons of Shelton Baptist Church.

retract the charges. and intimating that
+, if he did not a suit for slander would be
instituted.
David II. Bently, deacon and also one
of the church trustees, who received the
letter, at once communicated the contents
to Mr.. Luddington and to the church trus-
tees. MIR. Luddington thereupon announced
that he had already received from Dr. De
Costa letter OF the same tenor. meet
ing CT the board was hastily called for
Mr.. Luddington said yesterday that he
had been flooded with papers and corre-
spondence since the publication of his re-
marks.
Many writer's have asked for Mr. Lud-
dington's authority for the statements
that eight-tenths of the disreputable wo-
men and criminals are Catholics and that
the Catholic Church grants absolution TO
them. Mr.. Luddington says he has an
swered some Of these writer's, and will en-
deavor to answer all. He is not defiant in
his attitude 10 DR.. De Costa, but says he
has nothing TO apologize for
The Catholic Transcript has printed a
two column editorial, in which many ques-

financial support.
Colonel Archibald Hopkins. chairman of
the hnance committee. reported that his
committee had, in conjunction with the
finance committee of the Citizens Relief
Association. made an appeal by letter for
the support OF the two organizations. as
had been heretofore agreed to by the mem
bers Of the two organizations The re-
spcnse thus far to the joint appeal had NOT
been as generous as might have been ex-
pected.
He said it was hoped that now, after the
irst OF the new year. many persons who
mad not yet been heard from would re-
spond TO the appeal that had been made.
1t was the plan of the committee to meet
again at an early day and arrange some
effective plans for raising funds, as both
organizations were now in urgent need of
money.
The report of the general secretary OF
the work of the society during December
was read and approved
The secretary stated that the snowstorm
had caused considerable increase in the
WorS OF the society, but they had endeav-
ored TO carry on the work as quietly as
possible, and had been able to meet the
demands made upon them.

Cold weather means hard work for your
lungs.
Hard work is good for strong people, but
death to weak.
That's why cold weather is death to
thousands who suffer from weak lungs.
There is danger point for all people
with weak lungs beyond which it is not
wise to allow their lungs to go.
Weak lungs may last you for years. but
II you once get past the danger point
and stay there. there can be but one end
ing, Consumption.
The proofs that you have passed the
danger point come quickly enough: cough
cold. sore throat. pain in the lungs. fever,
night sweats loss of sleep and of appetite
loss of flesh or wasting away-alI tell the
tale too truly.
When your lungs are weak. there is
room for the consumption germ 10 grow
and 1t grows all too quickly when it once
gets started.
Time was when every consumptive was
doomed. But that time, thank God is Dast
By the untring efforts and brilliant
genius OF one of the worlds greatest scien-
lists lifetime of labor and research has
been crowned with success.
Consumption can now, by the new system
OF treatment of this eminent physician be
rendered null and void.
1t can be prevented.
1t can be cured.

There is to be a dividend on Louisville
in few days, and there Is some difference
of opinion as to it's rate. Perhaps the best
belief is that it will be / 12 per cent.
The road is earning more than this, how
ever. Louisville has been managed in a
most conservative manner in the past few
years, and large amount Of money has
been spent in betterment Of the road. 1t
would seem that the stock should have an
advance Of several points from the present
level If the market is good.
The evening times., 1899-01-04

Pacific Mail had break of points this
morning to 43 IA Later the advance be-
gan again, and in the latter part of the
morning there was good buying at a fig
ure very near the opening price. One sug-
gestion made Is that the insiders do not
care to put the stock up too rapidly while
the Hanna bill is in Congress, for fear of
the suggestion of jobbery. The Sugar Trust
is the only hopelessly bare-faced buyer of
legislation we have at present. Other COM
panies that desire laws preserve at least
some semblance of modesty to the outside
world

Brooklyn Rapid Transit was the feature
of the market, with steady advance to
above 81 in the first hour and plenty Of
strength after that figure was reached.
There was some prediction that there
would be large selling at so, but at noon it
had failed to materiaiize. The story On
the Street has been for the last few days
that the Nassau deal has been completed
for some time, but that it would not be
announced until so was reached, the idea
being that the stock was to be given to
the public at the top. 1t would seem the
better part to sell out any holdings of the
stock even if it should not be sold short

during the first hour, but had reaction

certain that there continues large buying

story of the broadening of the market
