Damage To Fruit.
st. Louis Republic.

81. Louis Republic.
The general cold wave which trav-
eled over the West and Southwest
has chiefly damaged the fruit crop.
Special dispatches to the Republic
from Texas say that the frosts
around Texarkana injured the corn
and killed early fruit. Corn in the
river belt will have to be replanted.
Around Fort Worth the damage
was comparatively light and confin-
ed to lower and damper regions The
gardeners and fruit growers suffered
most. In the Denison section corn
was injured, but the fruit and vege-
tables We're not seriously affected
Kansas horticulturists say the
fruit crop suffered in that State Ice
formed in all parts of the State.
Snow was reported in Iowa and III
nois. At Sycamore it was eight in
ches deep. Although in some places
the thermometer was below zero, it is
Beloved that no material damage to
crops resulted. Missouri reports in
dictate a similar escape, and in some
sections the out look for fruit crops
is promising. Other products were
not damaged.

To the Mayor and Councilmen-In
compliance with your request | went
to Butler on the Sth, and through
the courtesy of DR.. Boulware |, in
company with him, visited five of the
said to be typical cases. On my
honor as a professional man and
city physician of Adrian, | am not
able i'll my Judgment to report sim
gle case of variola (smallpox). In
each case that | visited the contra
Distinguishing characteristics OF the
disease were absent, but each case
presented the essential symptoms of
vericella, which is a postulated in
fictitious disease, having some symp-
toms III common with variola. Yet
the two diseases are absolutely dis
tlnct and separate. | am quite sorry
that | visited on that occasion as |
find the physicians there divided in
opinion and widely differiHgas touch
ing the diagnosis, but happily | had
visited Mr.. Ellis before seeing any of
them or knowing what the opinion of
Butler physicians was and gave my
opinion to him. Drs. Boulware and
Renick are of the same opinion that
| am and pronounce it a virulent form
OF vericella. If it is smallpox and
will render persons immune in the flu
ture, | would advise the people to
catch it, for it is less virulent than
ordinary variola and will save vac
cination.
Remember that the disease they
have in Butler is contagious, and
those not desiring to have it had
better not visit houses where they
are infected Yet there is no danger

THE FRUITS
Of Coffee Drinking.

THE fruits or results, in my case. of
coffee drinking, were sallow complex
ion, almost total loss of appetite as
well as sleeplessness and sluggish cir
culation.
Il was also very bilious and consti-
pated most of the time for eight years,
and became so nervous that | was I'M
able to do any mental labor and was
fast approaching a condition where
there would have been no help for me.
i am convinced that if l had con-
tinued using coffee much longer the
result would have been a total mental
and physical wreck.
i sometimes think the all-wise prov
idence looks after us in trouble, at any
rate, when | was in despair a friend
urged me to give up coffee entirely and
use Postum, giving the reasons why.
1t was hard for me to believe that so
common beverage as coffee was the
cause of my trouble, but | made the
change and from the first trial ex-
perienced benefit and improvement.
My complexion has improved, the
nervousness gone, as we'll as the bilious
trouble and sleeplessness. and | am
completely cured of sluggish circula-
ton. In fact, am well, and the return
to health has been directly traced to
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee. | recommend Postum to
all coffee wrecks without a single res
eryation. James D. Kimball, Isabella
street, Northampton, Mass.
