An extraordinary phenomenon has been noticed
with regard TO chestnut trees IN street lr
Brussels, since the installation Of the electric
uam cars. The foliage begins TO turn brown

the spring.

Il am a schoolgirl and want to tell
you what Postum Food Coffee has
done for me and several of my rela-
tiVes.
The oldfashioned coffee always
made me heavy and dull and gave me
heartburn, with dyspepsia. When we
tried Postum Food Coffee. it did not
taste good. but / begged for another
trial, when the directions We're fol-
lowed. and we found it delicious. Since
that time. we have used it regularly
and | never have any trouble with the
heavy feeling or dyspepsia.
DR.. Lowrie prescribed Postum for
my uncle, Mr. -. property man of
the Boston Theatre. and it worked a
marvellous change in him. He quit
the common coffee, and has been using
Postum Food Coffee ever since. He
looks better than he ever did before
His family also use it. Uncle is very

M1rths TO Capture Ladysmiih.

London. Jan. 23.-The Daily Mail has
the following, dated Sunday night,
from Spearman's camp:
There has been hot fighting all day.
At dawn. an attack was resumed along
the entire line. all the brigades taking
part. We soon discovered that the
Beers still occupied the range of hills
in force, their position being very
strong. The range is intersected by
steep ravincs and many approaches
very difficult of access.
To-day. the Beers who were driven
from their trenches, yesterday. took
cover in dongas and behind the rocks
with which the hills are strewn. The
forces therefore. commenced. the task
of driving them out and set to work
with good heart in the early morning.
Much firing took place and our pro-
gress was slow, but gradually British
pluck told its tale and the enemy fell
back to another kopje. We swarmed
on and occupied it and then the attack
e-commenced with utmost gallantry.
The country simply abounds in hills
favorable to guerilla warfare; and our
task is an arduous one. Nevertheless.
it is being gradually accomplished
Whenever any Of the enemy were OBJ
served taking up fresh position, our
field batteries poured in showers OF
shrapnel and the rapid movement OF
the guns, followed by accurate shoot
ing must have great distressed them.
The enemy were on the defensive al
most the entire day, save once when
they attempted to outfiank our left and
were signally checkmated. They relied
almost entirely on rifle fire A few
shells were fired from a heavy piece of
ordnance. but these fell harmless.
I'VE now occupy the lower crest on
the left and are cOnverging slowly but
surely to The Boer centre. The Boer
loss is unknown. but must have been
heavy. Their killed and wounded are
rapidly carried to the rear. Strong
rumors are in circulation that the
Beers are retiring The battle will be
resumed. tomorrow"

following. dated Jan. %. AIS p. NJ.
