Of speaking.
Despite the fatigue Of a long cam
paign and the fact that the gentlemen
had made the trip from Wadsworth to
Fallon. where they spoke TO the people
of Churchill, both speakers were in fin
fettle and their efforts we're rewarded
by repeated and continued applause.
Mr.. Harrington, the people found to
be a very strong speaker, presenting
fact after fact and reason after reason
why prosperity should be continued and
the Republican ticket elected.
Mr.. Cleveland entertained the au-
dience with many stories. told
of his life and efforts in
Nevada. gave many reasons why the
Silver party had passed away and the
Republicans should return to their first
love. He said his opponent would
make a good Governor, but he thought
A. C. Cleveland would make a better
n and hoped the people would think
with him.

SUSPICION
Leads to the Real Cause.

The question of coffee disease or
Postum health becomes of the greatest
Importance when we are thrown on
our own resources. Many a woman
when suddenly left without means of
support can make a comfortable living
If health remains.
a brave little woman out in Barnes,
Kan, says: Il feel that l owe you a
letter for the good Postum Coffee has
done me. For years l was a great SUI
ferer with nervousness without ever
suspecting the cause. Two years ago
l came down with nervous prostration
My work was light, but 1 could not do
1t. l could not even sew or read.
My sleep was broken and unrefresh-
ing; l suffered intensely and 1t SEEM
ed only a matter of time till l must
lose my reason.
My mental distress was as great as
my physical, when one day a friend
brought me a trial of Postum Coffee
and urged me to use it instead of cof-
fee for few days. saying that Postum
had cured her of liver trouble and sick
headaches. l replied that ! thought I
could not give up coffee, ! had always
used It as a stimulant However the
Postum Food Coffee proved to be pleas
ing to the taste and ] used it and was
surprised TO see that was resting and
getting better.
MY husband bought several pack
ages and insisted on me using II alto
sether. Gradually but not the less
surely, ! fully recovered. / never used
coffee aftcrward. and when / was left
a widow a year later ! was able 10
