HOW ALICE DID IT.
Learned To Follow instructions.

Learned 10 folIoW INSTRUCTIONS
IL puzzled mother nightly one
morning after a return from visiting
some friends. She had suffered terri
bly, from sleeplessness caused by coffee
drinking, and of course general nerv-
and stomach trouble followed.
Some n told her to quit coffee and
use Postum Food Coffee, but the first
morning it was served to her it was so
insipid and weak that she gave it up
and went to drinking hot water for she
did not care for tea or cocoa,
About this time l went visiting, and
during the conversation in reply to an
inquiry about mothers health / told of
her sleepless nights and general condi-
ton, and of the failure of the new
drink that we tried.
81 observed that my friend looked
rather knowing and wise at this state
ment, but thought nothing more of it
at the time.
I'm the morning at breakfast | was
served with a most delicious cup of
coffee which | drank with great pleas
ure, but I noticed my hostess watching
me carefully, finally asked for a Sec
ond cup and she burst out laughing and
remarked, so your folks don't like
Postum l was astonished, and said,
This is not Postum is it?' She sent
for the package in order to satisfy me
and it was exactly like the one mother
had. Then | learned that our failure
was caused from not boiling it long
enough, so when | reached home | told
mother | had found a new drink for
h,r and l went into the kitchen and
made it from her old package of Pos
tum. She was so delighted with the
new drink that | told her it was Pos
tum, and it was amusing to see her
p~erplexity. She looked at the package
and read it over. At last she said,
BY simply following the directions
She exclaimed, Why | did not know
there were any directions 1t seems
the cook had not looked at the package
but just brewed it with a little hot
water like she would tea, and that will
not make good Postum. 1t must be
boiled just as the directions say, then
the flavor is delicious.
THE next day mother was to give a
little coffee party and we served Pos
tum instead Of coffee. The ladies were
ali delighted with it, and we now have
'Postums' instead o. 'Coffees,' and 1t
would astonish anyone to hear the ex-
p%erience of the different ladies as to
how well they feel and how soundly
they sleep at night since they have
adopted Postum instead of the old
fashioned coffee, and particularly since
they have followed directions" Name

EL PORvENIR IN ASHES.
Beautiful Resort at Foot Of Hermit's
Peak Entirely Consumed.

Beautiful Resort at Foot OF Hermits
Peak Entirely Consumed.
FL Porvenir. the beautiful health
and pleasure resort, nesting among
the pines at the foot of Hermit's Peak,
sixteen miles northwest of Las Vegas,
was entirely consumed by fire Satur.
day morning.
The fire originated from a spark
from a fiue, and was discovered about
7 o'clock, breaking through the roof at
such a terrific rate that it was beyond
control from the start.
On account of the crude facilities for
fighting the flames, it was seen from
the beginning that the entire structure
must be consumed, and an effort was
made to rescue the contents, but on
account of the great mass of infam.
able material in the structure, the in.
tense heat Don drove the ~rescuers
from the building, and very few of the
contents, with the exception OF the
piano, were saved.
The hosiery was owned by Don
margarine Romero. of this city, who
had just left the hotel for town when
the news overlook him.
The flames Don spread to the out
buildings and within an almost incred.
ible time, the popular resort was re-
duced to ashes, all the o~utbuildings
and a considerable area of the forest
adjoining was scorched and burned,
and at a late hour last night a force of
men were still fighting the flames.
Mr.. Romero estimates his loss at
from $4,000 to 500 600, with about 49,
800 insurance.
This magnificent resort was situated
about nine miles above the Montezuma
in a beautiful canyon, traversed by a
winding mountain stream and offered
all the comforts of the modern city
hotel, and contained about fifty rooms.
1t was to have opened its doors to
summer tourists the first of May, and
had just been put in order for the re-
ception of its guests.
The destruction of FL Porvenir will
not only prove a loss to Mr.. Romero,
but to its hundreds of friends and
patrons who were wont to spend their
summer recreation at this popular re-
sort.-Las Vegas Advertiser.

A dust covered baggageman was
pushing a truck down the platform at
the union depot at a rate which threat
ened the life of anyone who CHANGED
to get in front of it, says the Kansas
City Journal. A small knot of men
were standing on the platform.
Get out of the way there!" he
shouted. Look out! Step lively!"
The men who fled before the shouts of
the oncoming truckman were George
Gould, president Oh the Missouri Pa
cific railroad, and one of the leading
railroad powers of the country; Rus
sell Harding, general manager of the
road, and William Cotter, manager Of
the operating department.
Why don't dem mugs get on de
train?" mumbled the truckman as he
pushed by.
Mr.. Gould smiled but said nothing.
Undoubtedly he thought of depots
where people with just two eyes and
two legs were not in danger of being
run down by baggage trucks. A mo-
ment later his secretary pushed him
from in front Of a truck Of trunks.
