The most pathetic thing we can
think of is the little cross roads,
two by four republican sheet, which
is trying to boom prosperity. We
have ono IN mind. Its editor sits
in little dingy room, he calls his
office, which is as quiet as the city of
the dead. He is not making enough
to pay his rent, yet parrot like, he
keeps on yelping about prosperity,
in the hope that the agent of some
trusts, or some fellow who has pull
with the administration, may take
compassion on him and give him II
little office. He has applied for
about everything from cabinet
position to a spit-toon cleaner. Yet
in the face of it all he swears that
prosperity is stalking abroad in the
land and that we arc all in actual
danger of being run over by the
honest dollar procession. If he
would listen toa word of council
we would whisper in his ear, the
fact that he had as we'll change his
tune. There is nothing coming
this way. His administration is
too busy blowing religious liberty
into Philippines to look after SO
small creature as ho.-Romney

ally getting worse while I was using
coffee.

coffee a Drug has been dismissed.
neighbor, Mr. A. Woodruff, was a con-
firmed dyspeptic for years until he quit
coffee and began TO use Postum. Now
he is entirely cured and thanks Postum
for it. Mrs NJ Munson and Mr.. D. S.
Barclay, friends, have found great re-
lief from leaving off coffee and using
Postum Food Coffee.
! have made many inquiries among
quite list of persons who have been
using Postum, and always find good ac-
counts where it has been prepared
properly. You cannot impress that
point too strongly on the people where
they once make trial Of Postum, for if
it is not thoroughly boiled it has a fiat
taste, and that drives them away from
1t, whereas If they only knew how de-
licious it is when we'll made and how
their health would be improved by it's
use they would do almost any way to
insure getting good Postum. l can send
you long list of names of those who
really know how to make Postum and
use it every day, if you care for them.
