CHANGE
Quit Coffee and Got Well I.


A woman's coffee experience Is inter-
esting. "For two weeks at a time I have
taken no food but skim milk. for solid
food would ferment and cause such a
pressure of gas and such distress that
I could hardly breathe at times, also ex-
cruciating pain and heart palpitation and
ell the time I was SO nervous and rest
less.
From childhood up ] had been a cof-
fee and tea drinker and for the past 70
years I have been trying different physi-
clans, but could get only temporary re-
lief. Then / read an article telling how
some one had been cured by leaving of
coffee and drinking Postum and 1t seem
ed SO pleasant just to read about good
health l decided to try Postum In place
of coffee.
l made the change from coffee to
Postum and such q change there is In me
that I don't feel like the same person.
We all found Postum delicious and like
It better than coffee. My health now is
wonderfully good.
AS o as I made the shift from cof-
fec to Postum l got better and now all OF
my troubles are gone. / am aeshy, my
food assimilates, the pressure in the
chest and palpitation are all gone, my
bowels are regular, have no more stom-
ach trouble and my headaches are gone.

H LAZY HORSE.

ease as well as they"
Then III began to think II over, and he
decided to try to nnd some means which
would permit him to give up hauling the
farm wagon day after day. II was a hard
problem to solve, but the horse presently
struck upon an idea.
"Tn max believe hat I am SICK" said
he: "and then my master will not re-
ouire me to perform any OF my usual du-
ties"
30 he hung his head and lean ur
against the side Of his stall and tried to
look as IL he was truly on his last legs
His master came around and looked al
him and exclaimed:

this horse? He was we'll when I put hin

THE RED MEN OF THE DUSK.
My acquaintance whistled as his eve
fell upon Whitesock, whose coat shone
like satin in the light Of the bogwood
torch my hostess was carrying, for the
night was falling rapidly.
"Dewi Santi!" he cried, what horse

she so fast as she ISIS pretty?"
More 3d." / replied; but l should
advise you not to handle her too free
ly. She will not take much Of that from
any one but me-"
AS Whitesock now turned here head
and began to move uneasily he let her
alone, and stood biting his finger and
staring at her. l shook hands with
the good woman Of the cottage, gave a
piece Of money to the little boy. and

been packed off at sight Of them, and
l felt also that they were Of another
and a more dangerous class than the
Egyptian and her dirty rabble.
For a couple Of miles we moved slow

little pony, bred up on these mountain
tracks, made better way than White
sock. who was quite at a loss among
the rolling pebbles and cldmsy pieces of
rock that Uttered the way.
Then the path improved, running over
clean mountain, turf, and, turning q
spur Of the hill, we rode into the light
Of the rising moon, now nearly at the
full. and swinging low against a dis
tant slope.
The harper was trotting beside my
companion, and at intervals they ex-
changed a few words in a low tone. A
turn Of the road brought the moon at
our back, and l was surprised to see
a shadow fall between Whitesock and
the pony. I glanced quickly round.
Immediately behind was marching n

Washington STAR; That the heart IL in
dependent Of the central nervous system
and can be made to pump blood through
IN artificial circulation, even when re-
moved from the body, has been demon
strated to students at the University Of
Chicago by q striking experiment per-
formed by Professor Elias p. Lyon Of the
department of physiology.
Professor Lyon has been able not mere
~ to make pieces OF hearts pulsate In salt
solutions and In the air, as was don by
Professor jacques Loeb and Professor
Jingle. but by the arrangement Of suit
tole apparatus he has caused the heart Of
4 dog to pump blood through itself, a pair
OF lungs and a/loop OF tubing more than
four feet high
DR.. Lyon disclaims the distinction Of
discovering the method of causing an APP
parently dead heart to beat. as ne says
that the experiment has been performed
before by certain investigators. Previous
experiments having show that the heart
was independent Of the central nervous
system, 1t was found that the only con
dition necessary for causing the heart to
beat was that II should be able to circu-
late blood through itself.
II this condition be met and the blood
prevented from coagulating IN the com
partments of the heart II was found tina,
circulation could be kept W.

What was TT

Friarpoint, Miss, Aug. 8.-One of
the strangest cases ever reported &C.
Cured here recently. The son of Mr..
G. l.. Butler was very III. The doctor
said he had some disease Of the spinal
cord, and treated him for two months,
but he grew worse all the time. and
finally the doctor told Mr.. Butler that
he did not know what was the trouble.
The boy would wake up In the night
and say that he was dying. He would
be nervous and trembling and want to
run out OF the house, saying he saw
ugly things which frightened him.
His father was very much ~discourag.
ed till one day he saw a new remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised
end he at once bought some and began
to give them to his-boy.
He used altogether eight boxes be-
fore he vas entirely cured. He has
not been troubled since. MI. Butler
says:
II feel 1t my duty to tell wha,
Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my
boy. All this remedy needs is a fair
chance and It will speak for itself"

seems to be almost dead"
Then the master left the stable.
"Ah!" cried the horse; he has gone to
get some medicine for me. My plan Is
going to work beautifully"
Soon the master came back. and with
him was a great big black man. with an
axe on his shoulder.
THAT horse Is very H." said the mas
ter.
He certainly is.'' replied the man with
the axe.
And there is only one thing 70 do with
him." said the master.
"Only one thing" added the man with
the axe.
We'll, Jim, hit him right square be-
tween the eyes and as hard as you can,
for I don't want him Hopping all around
the place before he Dies said the master.
"All right, SIR" answered the man., as
he raised the axe in the air.
And just at that moment the horse
pricked up his ears, and kicked up his
heels and tried to look as we'll as he could,
The horse has gone crazy" declared
the master.
"He has indeedl" exclaimed the man
with the axe,
well, we'll have to kill him anyway
said the master. "FIit him quick"
And the man hit.

The kitchen pots and pane are all

A razor for the baby as
A plaything he did buy,
And rubbed we'll in ammonia when
Poor Willie had a sty.
When his Oldest child Amelia,

When Mrs. Drake In oiicloth walked
So stately down the aisle,
The many guests within the church
Could not suppress a smile.
At the breakfast hen which followed
Each one his feast did eat
Lime drops with sauerkraut and lacks
With straw instead Of meat.

That anyone will say
The foolish house should be the home
For such a funny jay.
