GEN. VIM. H. JACKSON
Will Not Lose Belle Meade or Ills
 Horses.


 Nashville, Tenn. June 17.-The suicide yer is still the sensation of the hour in Nashville. The funeral of the deceased took place this morning. with requiem mass at the Cathedral, and wos very largely attended.
 Today Gen. W. II. Jackson gave out statement in which he denied in em- phatie terms that Marks financial trou- bles grew out of efforts to finance the Jackson estate
 Any statement that l was to get a cent of money which Marks was trying to raise Is false, absolutely false,' said the general MT. Marks was not my agent and had not been for some time"
 Gen. Jackson said further that MT Marks had mortgaged the estate for he (Jackson) got. MT. Marks did 1t all himself
 Not only was the money not secured for me- said the general. out I was ignorant of the transaction until after the deals were made While the sum named Is a large one, there will be no trouble in getting everything through all right l can't say if there are any addi- tional things which may be brought out"
 Since the suicide fear has been ex- pressed here that Gen. Jackson would have to lose Belle Meade. and the dis persal of the great breeding establish ment would follow. But today's develop ments show that the estate will be able to weather the storm.

COFFEE SENSE. To Drink, or not to Drink, the Question


 A prominent St. Paul woman comments on coffee as follows:
 While I was drinking coffee I was troubled with sleeplessness and palpita- tion of the heart. l began to feel suspic- ious of coffee poison, and having no de- sire to drug myself realized how incon- sistent 1t was for me to continue the use of anything that helped to break me down, so l quit coffee and began using Postum Coffee
 Now I sleep we'll and consequently feel refreshed. and am much strengthened Palpitation of the heart has ceased and altogether life seems worth living.
 Some of our family like a little coffee mixed in with the Postum; that of |rourse. is much healthier than the old fashioned coffee alone"
 It Is true that very strong coffee of the best flavor has little more fascinating taste to some palates than pure Postum On the other hand. there are thousands of people who prefer the flavor of Pos tum. pure and simple. If coffee agrees perfectly, and people are not i'll in any way, there seems no good reason why coffee should be discontinued unless there Is fear of disease finally setting up from the continued use of drug. On the other hand. If any member of a family is ailing in stomach. bowels kidneys, eyes or the nervous system. such a one should immediately quit ordinary coffee and take Postum Food Coffee. sure result can be depended upon and a gradual feel Ing of health and strength will come from the change. Health, Of course, is worth almost everything on earth.
 Some people are so constituted that 1t is hard for them to give up a habit. even if good health is the reward, but 1t is perfectly easy to leave off coffee when one can have well-boiled cup of Pos tum in its place.
