The Doctor Laughed,
But THE WOMAN WAS FRIGHTENED.


A physician of Columbus. Ga. rather poked fun
at a lady patient who insisted she had heart dis
ease.
The trouble really caused by injuries from
the effects Of coffee drinking and the nerves
affected that 1t gave her every indication OF
heart disease. This is OF thousands OF people
who badly hurt by the caffeine Of coffee and
1t is understood that II continued long enough real
organic heart disease will set in.
The LAZY referred TO above is Mrs. G. V. Irwin
1910 street, East Highland. Columbus, Ga. She
says: II had been running down in health for a
number Of years. and suspected that coffee was
hurting me, but could not get my to quit
It. My heart troubled that was very short
of breath. and could do little nothing that
quired exertion. ] had fearful nervous headaches
nearly every day, and was exceedingly nervous
with indigestion and badly eonstipated The doctor
laughed ut my idea Of heart trouble but knew that
l was In serious condition generally. Finally I
induced to quit coffee and take up Postum
Food Coffee. This about four months ago. and
the change has been wonderful. l feel like another

MUSCLE AND NOT FAT.
WHAT THIN PEOPLE NEED TO ROUND OFF
THE CORNERS.

ia 1Hi> NECb ~ iNoC->b or
THE CORNERS.
What thin folks need is flesh or muscle not fat.
To be symmetrical and properly proportional every
person should have certain amount of excess fesh
but to be plump does not necessarily mean to be
fat.
Fat Is undesirable it clogs and retards the action
Of the muscles, interferes with the healthy action
Of the heart and lungs, and when very excessive
predsposes fatty degeneration of vital organs
say nothing Of the discomfort resulting from too
much adipose tissue.
Common sense would suggest that II wishes
to become fieshy and plump the thing most needed
would be flesh forming food that is, albuniinous
foods, like eggs beef, oatmeal, etc.
The kinds Of food which make flesh the foods
have our tables every day; but the trouble
Is that our stomachs, from weakness derange
ment of some kind. do not promptly and properly
digest it.
Really the principal reason many people re-
main thin because their stomachs do properly
and completely digest and assimilate the flesh FORM
Ing beefsteak and eggs we eat every day.
There are thousands of such people. and they are
really dyspeptcs although they may not suffer any
particula: pain or Inconvenience from their stom-
achs.
II such persons, and all thin people, would take
after their meals some simple and natural digestive
like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be
quickly digested and the proper degree of plump
ness very result because these tablets are pre
pared exactly for that purpose. They digest every
variety of flesh forming food, which is the real rea
son why they quickly build up and strengthen
thin, dyspeptic men and women.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure every form Of in
digestion this eommon-sense plan, that they thor
ougby digest the food promptly giving strength TO
every nerve and organ In the body. and the weak
ened stomach chance to rest and its ma t-
raj vigor Nothing further is required to cure any
stomach trouble, except cancer OF the stomach

Modder River, Feb. 9.-MacDonald
scored a distinct success at Koodoes-
berg. His original orders were to hold
the drift and construct a fort. The
position, however, is extremely diff
cult, along a range of high hills, run-
ming northwest and terminating close
to the drift on the bank of The river.
AS it was impossible to hold the whole
summit Macdonald constructed strong
works across the center, which were
held by the Seaforth H%ighlanders and
three companies of the "Black
Watch,' while the %Higlanders' light
infantry held a small kopje on the
right. The Ninth lancers patrolled
the left toward the river. MacDon-

Things vent quietly until Wednesday,
when the Beers advanced along the
ridge within 900 yards, mounting two
mountain seyen-pounders which were
invisible from the plain. They also
held u smaller drift three miles to the
west. On receipt of this news Me-

airy and two horse batteries, under

rounding the Beers. In order to fur

Thirty Thousand to Leave Utni, for
Wyoming.
Cheyenne, Feb. 1O.-Arrangements
for one of the biggest colonization
schemes ever engineered in the west
have been completed here, where Il
portion of the Big Horn basin in
northern Wyoming will be settled by
MorEaons. For several years a major
ity of the Mormons in Utah have felt
that they could not stand the persecu-
tons of the gentiles and with the idea
of getting away and into a new oun
try where they might build their
homes anew arrangements We're made
with the Wyoming authorities for the
selection of 100000 acres of land in
Big Horn basin under the Carey act.
A committee of prominent Mormons
is now selecting this land along the
Sinking Water river. The Erie canal
and irrigation system will be utilized
and several new canals and reservoirs
constructed. Hundreds of Mormon
families III now disposing of their
property in Utah, packing up their
personal belongings aud during the
early spring they will start trekking
over the mountains and plains to the
new Zion. The Mormon leaders say
there will be upward Of 10000 people
