County Gets Permission From Leg

REPUBLIC
Pittsfeld. Mass, April 15.-The Berkshire
County Commissioners have secured from
the Legislature permission to raise $500
in anticipation Of extra expenses in the
trial Of Robert 8. Fosburg. indicted for
m~anslaughter for the alleged shooting Of
his sister, May L. Fosburg.
The Government now realizes what EVIL
dence 1t must have, the witnesses 1t must
obtain and the expense 1t must incur to
convict young Fosburg. There is a yearly
appropriation for court expenses in Berk-
shire County, but this 5000 is in addition
to that sum, and is an indication that the
trial Of this celebrated case will be as ex-
pensive as though the Indictment were
for murder.

NURSING IN ALASKA.
sReea OF Proper Food and Care for
Miners

The character Of the food used in the min
ting camps is ouch that many strong men
break down under it. Scurvy is a very
common disease. They drink quantities Of
conee and that does its work with thou
sands.
Al nurse, Mrs. /. Lowell. who has been
employed in different places In Alaska for
the past three years. writes to say that
she has induced many patients to leave off
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee, which
is very popular now in many OF the mining
camps, for they have learned its value.
She says Of herself that she has been a
great sufferer from the use Of coffee. and
had a most shameful bilious complexion.
She. says, II not cnly suffered from the
looks, but had a very serious stomach
trouble. When I finally quit coffee and be-
gan using Postum Food Coffee my stomach
Began to recover its normal condition, and
my complexion gradually changed. until
now, after a month or more use of Postum,
nv complexion is as fair as a schoolgirls.
II send you a list of many names of miners
that have given up coffee and are using
Postum. and in each case there has been
a remarkable improvement in health.
II had one patient almost gone from
scurvy. He could not retain any food. but
lived on Postum until strong enough to
take other food and got well.
ST am going to take up q large supply Of
Postum next trip"
