LITTLE RED DEVILS.
Mind Makes Peculiar Things,

Coffee almost kills some people before
they are willing to admit that coffee is
really the cause OF the trouble. Yet II Is
easy TO break of the habit providing Pos
tum Coffee, well boiled, is served in its
place.
A lady SAYS: AFTER coffee drinking had
become a habit with me / experienced a
sense of faintness in the stomach with
lassitude and dulIness OF the mind. This
was accompanied with severe pains in the
region Of my liver.
Gradually my health failed and l became
thin and a nervous wreck, having sick
headaches every day. Then Insomnia set
in and / suffered for four years such tor
ments as those who have been through
the experience know Of. At night / would
grow so nervous over the continual distress
in my stomach that / would imagine hun
dreds of little red devils had strings at
tached to the back Of my stomach and
were trying to pull 1t out. l was COM
PEELED at times to take laudanum to relieve
the distress and cramps.
This condition lasted with some varia-
tion for about three years. / tried various
physicians and finally was advised to try
leaving OFF coffee: this / thought could
not be done. l was hnally induced to give
up coffee and use, Postum and l began to
get well.
When l recovered and thought l was
well enough to go back to coffee again
tried it, but after using 1t a short time
the old stomach trouble came back and /
threw the balance of the coffee in the
stove. There has never been a grain of
the old fashioned coffee in the house since
and never will be as long as ] am running
II.
Postum Coffee is delicious when made
according to directions and served hot
with good cream and some sugar. The
whole family use it and enjoy it greatly.

Crowd ia DANGEROUS.

The chief Of the Wilkesbarre police, with
a squad of men. went to the colliery to ar
rest the guard, and after some trouble the
chief and his men gained an entrance. They
got their man. but the crowd on the outside
was so large and so threatening that the
police did not dare take him from the
place. At a late hour the crowd was still
hanging around the c~olliery.
Shortly after the shooting the crowd
sought vengence on the company's prop
erty and some set fire to a trestlework.
The 1re department was summoned and
with considerable difAculty put out the
blaze.
At the Murray c~olliery, also operated by
the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre company. in the
eastern part of the city, a crowd of boys
succeeded in buring about 400 feet of &
high board fence that surrounds the COM
pany's property. The fire department ex-
tinguished the blaze.
The chief of police made an investigation
and finally placed the blame for the shoot
ing on four coal and iron policemen who
were located near the place where the
shooting occurred. T~hey-weret taken from the
colliery by a circuitous route and landed
at the lookup at midnight.
