A GIRLS COMPLEXION
Comes From the Inside.

Whenever l failed to get my coffee for
breakfast, I 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.
1 naturally concluded that all was not
right. and inasmuch as l was in a very
nervous condition anyhow, l went to the
doctor for nerve tonic.
He told me / would have to quit drink
ing coffee and when l said 1 could not
possibly do It because l always got sick If
| didn't have the coffee, he said, use
Postum Food Coffee" Wei, / tried Il
twice and gave it up because 1t tasted
so flat.
One day l was up to DR.. Ruggles' Ir-
hrmary and remarked to Mrs. Ruggles tnat
the doctor had told me that must leave
off coffee and wanted me to use this
new-fangled stuff called Postum" but that
IL was positively unbearable. She said.
MY dear, you never have had good
cup of Postum evidently" / said, mo,
never have; l have only tried it twice .
Well" she said, you go back and look
ut the package and you will observe that
the directions insist upon continued boil
ing, at least fifteen minutes, not that
length of time for the pot to set on the
stove but 1t must stay there until il begins
to boil and then boil fifteen minutes I
will guarantee you viii get a fine de-
Hcous tasting black, rich cup of coffee.
and perhaps better favored than any YOU
ever tried before. The old-fashioned cot
fee is actually killing YOU" she said. You
are terribly nervous, and your complexion
is a long ways from what il should be
at your age
Well. when l got home, I tried making
some Postum az once, and followed direc-
tons carefully, and must say il was lust
delicious. ! have continued to use it ever
since.
am well and hearty now, and my COM
plexion has cleared up so that during the
last three months people remark 10 me
continually, "IIow clear your skin isl" l
am naturally Of a light complexion and
fair. DR. Ruggles has all of his patients
use Postum instead of ordinary coffee 1
have induced papa to take up Postum, and
he likes it very much. one of our neigh
bors, Mr.. c. A. Barke, was IN in bed
with heart and some kind of stomach com
plant. lie was u habitual coffee drinker.
but when ne got down, Dr. Ruggles took
his coffee away and gave him Postum Food
Coffee. He is almost well now, and saws
that ne believes the Postum was the main
cause Of his recovery. A great many in
our town use Postum in place OF ordinary
coffee. Mlss Mabel Bangle. Stafford. Kan.

the badgering of a millionaire. in which
Mrs. Moore. as the wife, is forced to play
an unwilling part.
The first overtures were made to Mrs
Moore last Thursday. Late in the after
noon two men called at the Tombs. 1t
was after visiting hours, but one of them
sent this note to Mrs. Moore:
4 would like very much to see you
and talk over a release which 1 think
can gain through a cash bond given by
Mr.. Charles E. Blaney, whom I represent
providing you will consider a proposition
to appear in New York production of
my new play, "The King of the Opium
Rng."
Mr. Blaney is willing to make' you a
very liberal offer in regard to salary. II
you viii give us consideration and grant
me short interview I am satisfied you
will find it greatly to your interest.
Charles A. Taylor"
An appointment was made for Friday
morning. Mr.. Taylor and a Mr. Cooley
called Mr.. Taylor told Mrs. Moore of
the fame and name TO be made as the
wronged heroine of the new play; Mr..
Cooley expatiated on the value Of money.
. The contract was read. 1t had been
drawn by Howe & Hummel, attorneys for
Mr.. Blaney. In it Mr.. Blauey agreed TO
provide gowns, lingerie and a complete
wardrobe; provide a carriage for Mrs.
her mother and a maid and in addition
pay her $1,000 a week during her engage
ment. Ii was further provided that Mr..
Blaney should furnish a cash bond of ST.
500 for Mrs. Moore's release from the
Tombs.
Mrs. Strahan was present. She decided
that prison life had impaired her daugh-
ter's health too much to al@ her to UNI
dertake the work, and an engagement was
made for the next daY
The chance of temporary freedom and
the large sum offered were temptations
too great 10 be resisted. And then, 100,
Mrs Moore, ever since she was pet
Strahan, the Atlanta society girl, has had
stage aspirations The offer was accepted
the contract signed.
Charles E. Blaney Will to-day deposit
with the city chamberlain a certified check
for $500, the amount at which Fayne
Moore's bail has been fixed. Then, with
Mrs. Moore's attorney. he will go TO the
Supreme Court and ask for Mrs. Moore
release. AS soon as that has been accom-
plished rehearsals will be rushed on THE
King of the Opium Ring"
Mrs. Moore, when asked about the con-
tract yesterday, said: My principal rea-
son for signing the contract offered to me
be Mr.. Blaney was to get out of this prs-
on. The life here is slowly killing me. Be.
sides, need the money badly, and must
have ii to conduct my defense properly
| The public will probably misjudge me
