AN OLD WAR.
Pretty Near Time to Stop

Wouldn't 1t make your friend mad TO
tell her she was in reality q drunkard
but many women are drunkards uncon-
scously from the use of coffee, which
wrecks their nervous systems. and they
seem unable to reform.
A lady in Philadelphia, Pa. was very
badly affected by coffee, causing her to
have nervous prostration and she finally
woke up to the fact that she was in real
ity a coffee drunkard. Her doctor had
told her that she must give up coffee,
but she seemed unable to do it.
One day she read an advertisement
about Postum Food Coffee and thought
she would give it trial. She says:
Coffee had such a. strong hold on me-
that at first did not make 1T all Pos
tum, but added tablespoonful Of coffee
After a while quit putting coffee in at
all, and soon found I felt much better.
Continued use stopped my headaches and
billiousness, and 1 soon noticed that my
nervousness had evidently left me for
good. Now, T. would not use anything
else and the smell Of coffee makes me
sick.
I am using your Grape-Nuts also, and
think it wonderful food. | lately cured
an attack of indigestion by eating moth
ing but Grape-Nuts and drinking Pos
tum for two weeks and now can eat
solid food and feel no distress Name

SMASHED ALL RECORDS
Fritz Knowles Hit the Ball Hard and
OfIen-Never Misses.

While few are aware of 1t, the bat
ting record of the world was probably
broken last Saturday afternoon by Fritz
Knowles the star second ba seman for
the Manchester team, when they played
the Fulton Brownies two games, the
first lasting eleven innings ard the sec
Ond going the regular nine.
In the two contests knowles faced the
two crack pitchers OF the Brownies ten
times, and out of this sunber of oppor-
tunities to swat the ball he secured no
less than six base hits, a truly remark
able record, since it gives his an ave
rage of 600 for the two conflicts. In ad-
diton to this Knowles never failed to
connect with the ball, and the only rea
son that his average is not absolutely
perfect is because one OF the outielders
on the opposing team was fast enough to
get under three long fly balls which
looked very much like safe hits.
In each game Knowles secured three
hits. but as the first was an eleven in
ming recital, he came to the bat six
times. thus pulling his average for the
day down considerably. Had this conflict
lasted the usual nine, his average for the
day would have been .75O instead Of 800.
On this contest his percentage was only
500 In the last game of the day he came
up four times and swatted safely thrice,
giving him an average on this contest
of $50.
The season batting record for the world
is held by la Joie, who now plays sec
ond base for the Cleveland team of the
American League. being a trifle over .425.
It was made last year and is regarded
as remarkable But should Fritz Knowles
continue to biff the ball as he did last
Saturday La Joies record will be smashed
to smithereens.
