An Old Fish Knows Good Bait From
Poor.
A good old family doctor down in Eden
burg, Miss, says he is not afraid to tell
the truth about coffee and its effect on
him and the remarkable change produced
by leaving of and taking Postum Food
Coffee in its place.
He used coffee for many years, and says,
"of late years l have been so nervous that
l dreaded to perform ami operation, and
my eyesight had bothered me A consider
able l think about two year3sago l first
heard of Postum Food Coffee, and gave It
trial. | am not quick TO bite at hum
bugs. but the change in my physical con-
ditiOn brought about by leaving off coffee
ana taking Postum Food Coffee was a
complete surprise. l began TO eat we'll,
sleep well, and in just three months my
eyesight was restored, my nerves strong,
headaches disappeared, and my chronic
catarrh OF thirteen years standing was
cured with little or no treatment except
the change in coffee.
Il am today stout, erect and weigh tweT:-
~ pounds more than | did before giving
up coffee. have an extensive practice and
have had very satisfactory results among
my patients where | have induced them
to leave off coffee and take Postum in its
place.
Coffee is running and destroying thou
sands or our young Americans, and 1t Is a
pleasure to know of nutritious and pal
atable breakfast beverage that rebuilds
the nervous system rather than tears it
down, as the old coffee does.
1t may interest you to know that we
had much the same experience as many
others when We first began to prepare
Postum. We boiled it in desuitory sort
of way for few minutes and the product
was not satisfactory. Turning TO the di-
rections we discovered the fault and from
that time we have followed those direc-
tons which are simple enough, with the
most satisfactory results in point OF hav-
or and food value.
With my best wishes for your contin-
ued success. DR.. A. G. Aston"

SUMNER NORMAL SCHOOL CLOSES.

The Most Successful Session in its
History.
The Summer Normal School clos
ed last Friday with appropriate ex-
ercises. The large session room was
crowded to its utmost with students
and visitors, a condition that has
prevailed during many of the after
noon sessions during the term.
Prof. Lybarger whose abilities as
instructor and reader are of the high
est order, entertained the audience
with varied program of great liter
airy and evolutionary merit.
During his brief stay Prof. Lybar-
ger has won his way into great favor
among students and citizens. His
work as instructor and lecturer has
been original and scholarly while his
genial personality and abundant
good humOr have been sources of
both help and inspiration.
The exercises were interspersed
with music and closed with short
farewell speeches by the instructors,
all Of whom spoke In highest terms
of the energy and Interest manifest
ed by the large number Of teachers
and students enrolled.
No previous session of the Summer
School has been 80 largely attended
by teachers or so full of value and
enthusiasm.
The refusal of a majority of the
LapOrte Borough School Board to
permit the teachers of the County
the use of the school books in their
charge even for liberal cOnsidera-
ton, did not seriously impair the
work Of the school, owing to the
broad-minded and courteous action Of
the School Board OF FOrksville, who
generously granted the use of all
their books to the school. This
kindness was greatly appreciated
and the unanimous adoption of the
following resolution at Friday morn
ing's session expressed in part the
sentiments of the teachers:
RESOLVED that the sincere thanks OF
the students in attendance at the Summer
Normal School be extended to the School
Board Of Forksville Borough Tor their

Matter.
Mrs. Esther NJ. Gregory was very
much alive Sunday morning when
she read telegram after telegram sent
to her mother by Washington friends
who were grieved by notice of her
demise published in Washington
paper. An article published Mon
day in a paper of that city fully ex-
plains the matter and read as fol-
lows:
Friends of Mrs. Esther M. Greg
ory, of this city, were startled when
they read in local paper Saturday
evening an announcement OF her
death on August 2 at Laporte, Pa,
where she had gone with her moth
er to spend the summer. The no
tice was contained in list of paid
advertisements and read as follows:
GREGORY-Suddenly at Laporte,
Pa, on August 2, 1901, ESTHER NJ.
GREGORY (nee Brewster). aged twenty
five years. lnterment at Laporte.
Mrs. ;Gregory's relatives in this
city had not been advised of her de-
mise, and hastened to communicate
with her mother at Laporte. A tel
egram was received from Mrs. Brew
ster stating that nothing had hap
pened to her daughter, but that she
was alive and well. Inquiry at the
newspaper Office elected the fact that
the death notice had been left and
paid for by man whose desctrip-
ton was obtained, and whose han9-
writing was recognized by persons
who knew him. 1t is supposed that
the notice was inserted in the paper
in order to annoy Mrs. Gregory and
her friends.
