fatality seems to be following the Collins

death in a mysterious manner was Frank,
whose dead body was found In a boiler

f1rebox of the pumping boiler, which he
was operating. The top OF his head was
badly burned Coroner Trichler is inclined
TO the belief that he died from apoplexy.
This belief is not shared by friends of
the family and detectives have been placed

KILL DEER HUNTERS.
Twelve Dead sportsmen Is Wlscon-

Milwaukee, Nov. 2S.-The deer hunt
ing season in this state ended today. It
only lasts for 20 days, but in that time
II hunters have been killed and the
same number seriously wounded. AL
most without exception these accidents
occurred the hunters being mistaken for
deer by other hunters. One of the kill
ed was Alfred z. Rosenga of Chicago.
The fatalities are SO great during the
deer hunting season that scores who
like the sport keep out Of the woods, for
they say the danger of being shot by
some fool hunter is greater than that
experienced by the American army at
San Juan hill Many hunters have been
wounded and no mention made of the
accidents Some of the careless marks
men have run away after finding they
had shot a man instead of q deer. In
one case the wounded man lying on the
ground grabbed his gun and compelled
the man who had shot him and was try
ing to escape to take him to a Doctors

SENSIBLE TEMPERANCE.
A Word to Temperance Ladies.

It IS universally admitted that tenn
perance women work for their cause
with a desire to make life happier; that
is, intemperance in drink causes an i'm
mense amount of misery in human life,
and the temperance movement is an ef-
fort to replace this misery with happi-
ness, peace, and comfort.
Many temperance women make the
mistake Of going at the subject hammer
and tengS and proposing to force people
to believe their way. 1t is far better to
exercise broad charity and take the
position that ones own peace Of mind
and happiness, not only of the individ-
ual, but Of the family and friends, de-
pends upon sensible habits of life.
A very much greater foe to human
happiness than whisky, exists, and it
will startle many an honest temperance
worker when the name of that foe is
given 1t is spelled coffee. "I don't
believe it." some ardent temperance
worker says, who is really a slave her
self to the coffee cup.
Cast your thought among your sick
friends, nervous, irritable, broken down
women whose homes are anything but
peaceful homes because of the irrita-
tion and friction brought about by their
physical and mental condition. In nine
ty-flve cases out of a hundred the nery-
BUSINESS, irritability, dyspepsia. kidney
trouble, female troubles, and various
diseases which such people are subject
to, come directly from a broken down
nervous system, brought about by the
daily use of coffee Careful chemical
analysis proves this statement to be alb
solutely true and personal experiment
Will prove the same to any one who
cares to make it
You may have a few friends who are
made miserable by whisky, but you have
scores Of friends whose lives are made
miserable, as we'll as the lives Of their
families by the use Of coffee Hard to
believe, isn't 1t? Many of the most pro
found truths are not accepted by au-
manity when first brought to human
ertheless.
Try for yourself. reader. Leave off
cofTee altogether and start in with Pos
tuIn Food Coffee. which can be obtained
at any hrst-class grocery store. You will
ind within ten days an improvement in
the sum total of happiness for yourself
and for yeur friends about you. Life
VIII take on a new aspect, strength, Wig
or, and vitality will begin to come back
Tor your use You can do things that
you have heretofore been unequal to-
You can accomplish something in this
Woria, and you can quietly and without
ostentation become a most efficient
worker in securing to humanity that
peace, content. and happiness that we
are all seeking.
