Patrolman Goyen notified. and he i'll turn
called the patrol wagon. The woman
was taken to the city hospital in the pa
trof wagon. She was badly burned In
the mouth and throat, but will recover.
She is twenty-five years old and her
folks live at Eau Claire, Wis. The
woman had not been working for about
month, according to the statement
made by MIR. Brown to a Globe re-
porter last night, and came to their
place last Sunday. Mr. Brown stated
that she became acquainted with his
vile some time last year, ard stayed with
them enc week last winter. The syo.n-
an went up the street early last evening.
She came back a little later and a little
Wh1fe after she took the poison in the
hallway UP stairs. She was discovered
a few moments later by Brown, who no.
tined the officer On the beat with the re-
suit That DIR. Rieheson was called, and

General Public and Juveniles Great
ly Appreciate Accommodations.
All the faces SO familiar at the old
library are back again and there are a
great I-apy new faces, besides" said one
OF the employees of the public library yes
terday, chatting in regard to the new
nome st. Paul has found for its books.
The reference rooms, especially, have
been better patronized this summer than
ever before. One reason for this is no
doubt due to the fact that many women
dislked passing through the corridors in
the city hall in order to reach the eleva-
tor that took them up to the library
The new quarters are just as convenient
ly situated, they say. and far less pub
lie"
Mrs. McCaine, the head librarian,
stated yesterday that the number of
books in circulation this summer was
rather light. She ascribed this to the in
tense heat, even the effort of going down
town after a book being a tax on ones
strength With the cooler weather, she
said. the demand for books had promptly
increased and this increase was growing
every day.
Since school began those in charge of
the juvenile department have been kept
busy. There is rush at twelve o'clock,
but greater one at four and from four
until six is the busiest time in. this very
popular department. of the library.

'.My physician toldome I must not eat
any heavy or strong food and ordered a

lowed directions carefully, but kept On
using coffee and did not get any better.
Last winter husband, who was away
on business, had Postum Food Coffee
served to him in the family where no

..He liked it SO we'll that when he
came home he brou$ht some with him.
We began using it and found it most
excellent While / drank it my stomach
never bothered me i'm the least, and I
got over my nervous troubles. When the
Postum was all gone we returned to cof-
fee. then my stomach began to hurt me
as before and the nervous conditions
came on again.
THAT showed me exactly what was
the cause of the whole trouble, SO I quit
