At first Mr. and Mrs. Cook We're

However, the sincere grief of the
southcrner. together with mis- manly
course in the matter, has won them
over. and this evening they have an
nounced that he mas been freely for
given for the part ne played in the
case.
Since the tragedy Austell's grief has
been most pitiable. and has excited
sympathy of the people in general.
+ claims he mad no previous warn
ing of the intentions of the girl, and
that the suicide was as much sur
prise and as great a shock to him
as it was to any one else His state
ment are credited by the members of
the Cook family, who, while neart-
broken over the sad affair, are in
clined to take a charitable view Of
the facts surrounding the case.

back of PenobScot street ON the bank

nothing could be done to save il. Really
il was not a house but what is called
mere shack, not being plastered in

boards and sheathing paper. 1t was,
however, q large and valuable one of
its kind. and the loss Of house and per-

Joseph Myshrall, the occupant, was
seriously injured about 10 days ago, by
slipping and falling from one of the

He fell 40 feet TO the ground, and
struck on his head and shoulders, and
was thought at the time to have been
fatally injured. He still was confined
to his bed when the fire broke out, and

walk number of hundred yards to
shelter.
The house was owned by Emery w.

Doctors Agree on Food.

All physicians agree that good food,
properly selected, is of the utmost
importance. not only for the cure of
disease but to maintain health even
when one is well.
DR.. VIM. Hale of IA pleasant St.
Gloucester, Mass. says. Il count it a
pleasure to say good word for Pos
tum Food Coffee with which l have
been enabled to relieve SO many suf-
ferers. and which count, with its
valued companion, Grape Nuts, one of
the daily blessings.
Coffee was banished from my own
table some time ago and Postum used
regularly in it's place.
Il frequently find it necessary to in
struct patients when they take Postum
Coffee for the first time to be quite
sure that it has been boiled long
enough to bring out the clear. black
color and the rich taste, as well as the
health giving qualities.
The Doctor enclosed the names of
six patients who were formerly ner-
vous dyspeptics but have been cured
by his professional care and the dis
continuance of coffee and the using of
Postum Food Coffee in its place.
