AN Expensive TRIP
But the Air Of Old England Failed
Him.

The brain is composed of thousands of
little cells and these contain a vital sub
stance which Is used UP during active
work and can only be replaced by the
right kind of food and drink.
With many people, coffee drinking ex-
cites the brain and prevents it from get
ting the necessary rest. ana breaks down
and destroys the cells and the soft, gray
matter therein, nor does coffee supply
the food to replace these cells and this
naturally leads to mental exhaustion and
nervous prostration.
Some two years ago, I was laid low
with very severe attack of nervous pros
tration, and had to resign my position
with a large mercantile house of this
CITY," writes a gentleman from Brook
Ign.
THE doctors said my complaint was
due to overwork. long hours and insult
ficient exercise and recommended a trip
to Europe. More dead than alive. fol-
lowed their advice, and went to England
for a short visit, but came back very lit
tie improved. and unable to work, sick
and disheartened.
On my return, my wife and | went to
boarding and a gentleman living in the
house told me Of the beneficial results he
had experienced by leaving off coffee
and using Postum Food Coffee.
l at once stopped drinking tea or cof-
fee and used Postum. drinking 1t three
times day, and in a short time found a
decided improvement in my condition.
and now. l am glad to say, am following
my profession again. l do not feel the
slightest effects of my old complaint and
l am confident that l :. owe my present
good health to the use of Postum.
We have two children and our little girl
who is now two years OF age. has been

Major Frank Boykin of Tilden, is out
in signed article In q local paper, in
which he arraigns the Democratic Com
mitteeman of Tilden beat in a very caus-
tic manner. He does not call the commit
teeman's name but it IL well known that
I. Matt Meyer is the man to whom he
refers he being the committeeman from
the beat. The card of Major Boykin has
been discussed in political circles here
since 1t appeared and those who know
Mr.. Meyer are expecting red hot reply
from him. Major Boykin accuses Mr..
Meyer of putting himself beyond the pos
sibility OF participating In future Demo-
cratic primaries by refusing to vote the
Democratic ticket.
A political feud has existed in Boykin's
beat for many years past between the
Boykin and the Meyer factions, and the
card of Major Boykin Is the elimination
of the feud. Major Boykin was endorsed
