WIN. RussELL's EXPERIENCE.
Recovering from Injuries Sustained
in Thrilling Runaway.

William Russell, of Greenfield, who
Is widely known hereabouts, is making
q rapid recovery from the severe in
juries and shock he sustained in a
thrilling runaway last week. The
scalp wounds which tore his forehead
and the side of his head, are healing.
and the soreness which was con-
sequence of his being dragged Is grad
ually leaving him.
Mr.. Russell's experience was a dan
gerous one, and he is grateful indeed
for his preservation from a worse
fate. The horses check-bit fell, and,
catching the shaft, the animal tore the
bride off. Mr.. Russell jumped off and
grabbed hold of the horses nose and
name. The animal started off and ran
like mad down Flannery's road. Mr..
Russell held fast so long as his
strength would permit. When cast off,
Mr.. Russell was bleeding and fairly
exhausted. The horse ran home. The
buggy was badly wrecked.

GOES TO GERMANY.
Particular Travellers Demand the I'm
portation of American Articles.

Il had drank coffee since babyhood,
and although l was very nervous ard
dyspeptic l could not and would not
believe that coffee had anything to do
with it, writes an American lady now
living in Munich, Germany.
My physician finally convinced me
that coffee was at the bottom of all my
troubles, and | tried many things to
take its place, hut nothing satisfied the
craving for real coffee. AT last one day
in half-hearted, despairing mood. I
bought from the grocer some Postum
Food Coffee. My grown-up daughter,
who by the way had inherited my taste
for coffee and also my nervousness,
laughed and said, Don't you know that
nothing can take the place of we'll made
coffee, half Java and half Mocha, with
plenty of rich cream?'
'sJ firmly believe it,, replied, but
drowning man will grasp at Il straw.
and 1 am getting more nervous every
day. and can hardly eat anything at
all, and Dr.. S., like the Fest of the ply
sicians, tells me it all comes from cof-
feeg ...
$50 next morning I personally made a
pot of Postum, following closely the
directions--and such surprise! The
color was a rich. dark. winey brown,
and a pleasant aroma greeted the nos
trils, But the taste-the crucial test
confess feared to put it to that test
for fear OF another disappointment.
.s.But not SO with my daughter, who
eagerly made the trial and fairly shout
ed: .Hurrah! Mamma. you have found
1t at last / tried 1t and that ended
our coffee drinking for good. The fla
vor was full and rich and left nothing

In a short time my dyspepsia dsap-
peared. and as for nerves-my daugh-
ter and myself almost forgot that such
things existed, until we came to Ger
many and had to go back to coffee
and we are again as nervous and dys-
peptie as we used to be, But we don't
intend to let 1t go on; l have written to
America for good supply of Postum
ana propose to always have II In the

THE ROOT OF THB MATTER
He Cured Himself Of Serious Stomach
Trouble by Getting Down to First
PRINCIPLES.


A man of large affairs in one of our
prominent eastern cities by too close
attention to business, too little exercise
and too many club dinners, finally be-
gan to pay natures tax, levied in the
form of chronic stomach trouble; the
failure OF his digestion brought about
a nervous irritability making II impos-
sible to apply himself to his daily busi-
ness and finally deranging the kidneys
and heart.
In his own words he says: II con-
suited one physician after another and
each one seemed TO understand my
case, but all the same they each failed
to bring about the return of my former
digestion, appetite and vigor. For two
years I went from pillar to post, from
smoking, I quit coffee and even re-
nounced my daily glass or two of beer,
but without any marked improvement.
Friends had often advised me to
try well known proprietary medicine,
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and I had
often perused the newspaper ADVERTISE
ments Of the remedy but never took
any stock in advertised medicines nor
could believe fifty-cent patent medl-
cine would touch my case.
ITO make long story short, final
ly bought a couple of packages at the
nearest drug store and took two or
three tablets after each meal and oc-
casionally tablet between meals,
when I felt any feeling of nausea or
discomfort.
II was surprised at the end Of the
first week to note a marked improve
ment in my appetite and my. gen.
eral health, and before the two
packages were gone was cer-
tain that stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
was going to cure completely and they
did not disappoint me. 1 can eat and
sleep and enjoy my coffee and cigar
and no one would suppose had ever
known the horrors of dyspepsia.
"Out of friendly curiosity wrote to
the proprletors of the remedy asking
for information as to what the tablets
principal ingredients were aseptic pep
sin government tesD, malt diastase
and other natural digestives, which di-
gest food regardless of the condition of
the stomach"
The root of the matter is this, the di-
gestive elements contained in Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets will digest the food,
give the overworked stomach a chance
to recuperate and the nerves and whole
system receive the nourishment which
can only come from food: stimulants
and nerve tonics never give real
strength, they give fictitious strength
invariably followed by reaction. Ev-
cry drop of blood, every nerve and tis-
sue is manufactured from our daily
food, and If you can insure its prompt
action and complete digestion by the
regular use of SO good and wholesome
a remedy as Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's, you will have no need Of nerve
tonics and sanitariums.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
have been in the market only few
years. yet probably every druggist in
the United States, Canada and Great
Britain now sells them and considers
them the most popular and successful
of any preparation for stomach trouble.

NO TAX COLLECTOR.
Poor Board in Another Dilemma
These Days.

The Carbondale poor board is maxi
ing desperate efforts to elect a tax
collector, who must get down to work
gathering taxes. IL the expenses Of the
district are to be met in any kind Of
season.
Last night another effort to muster
quorum failed. This makes the
well, no one knows how many times
the quorum failed to make good. If
this continuous performance continues
much longer, President McCabe is
likely to put want ad." in the daily
papers for quorum. The sickness Of
Directors Williams and Mcmillan, and
the frail health of Director Morgan
Thomas are responsible for the lack
of a quorum.
