A LAYMAN
Gave Doctor a Hint About Coffee.

Gave Doctor a Hint About Coffee.
Speaking of coffee, a doctor of De-
caturville, o.. says: I'VE used to ana
lyze coffee at the medical college, and in
spite of our laboratory tests, which
showed it to contain cafhne, an active
poison, continued to use the drink, and
later on found myself affected with ser
ious stomach trouble, indigestion, head
aches, etc.
.1'he headaches came on so regularly
and oppressed me SO that 1 found it
difficult to attend to my regular duties.
One day last November / met friend
whom had known to be similarly af-
fiicted. His marked Improvement in
appearance caused me to inquire What
he had been doing. He announced that
he had. some time ago. quit coffee and
was using Postum Food Coffee. To this
change he attributed the change in his
health.
II took the hint. even from a layman,
and made the same change myself. lhe
first week noticed a little difference,
but not much. The third week the
change was almost magical. | have
continued with the Postum, and now
my digestion is perfect, the nervous
headaches have entirely disappeared,
and am WE'LL My own analysis of THE
Postum Food Coffee shows 1T to be
pure food drink of strong character.
which is a marked contrast 70 tine Old

THE FEAR OF HuMRue
Prevents Many People from Trying
Good Medicine.


Stomach troubles are 20 common and
IN most cases SO obstinate to cure that
people are apt to look with suspicion
on any remedy claiming 70 be radical.
permanent cure for dyspepsia and indi-
gestion. Many such pride themselves
on their acuteness in never being hum
plugged, especially in medicines.
This fear of being hunbugged can be
carried too far; SO far. in fact, that
many people suffer for years with weak
digestion rather than risk little time
and money in faithfully testing the
claims made of preparation so reiia-
BILE and universally used as Stuart S
Dyspepsia Tablets.
Now Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are
vastly different in one Important re-
spect from ordinary proprietary medi-
cines for the reason that they are not
secret patent medicine. no secret is
made of their ingredients, but an analy-
sis shows them to contain the natural
digestive ferments. pure aseptic pepsin,
the digestive acids, golden seal, DIS
muth, hydrastis and nuN. They are not
cathartic, neither do they act powerful
~ on any organ, but they cure indiges-
ton on the common sense plan OF d.
gesting the food eaten thoroughly be-
fore 1t has time to fernent, sour and
cause the mischief. This is the only
secret of their success.
Cathartic pills never have and never
can cure indigestion and stomach trou-
bles because they act entirely on the
bowels, whereas the whole trouble is
really in the stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken
after meals digest the food. That is all
there is to 1t. Food ret digested or
half digested is poison. as it creates
gas, acidity, headaches, ralpitation of
the heart, loss of flesh and appetite
and many other troubles which are
often called by some other name.
They are sold by druggists every
where at so cents per package.

TAKES COLLECTION FOR HIM
He Doesn't Want the Money, But Takes
1t, Saying He Knows of Poor Man
Here Who is Dying With consump
tion-His Audience is fearful as 1t
Listens to His Pathos.

Fred A. Maison, or Fred A. Marson.
as the case may be, succeeded, while
making his headquarters in this city
to take q few side trips in order to
keep up his interest in evangelistic
work. One of these trips, 1t seems,
Croker, pastor of the church there,
heard of the mans earnest work at
Garwin, and was anxious that the peo-
pie should be benefited by his noble
sentiments and touching pathos. They
had the opportunity and We're touched
for 81. Maison visited the Green Noun
tain congregation week ago last sat
urday and Sunday, speaking twice. lie
told the story about the English wom-
an again, which he seems to consider
one OF the best he has in stock. This
time 1t was on Mrs. Maybrick. He also
told OF how Mrs. Maybrick had sung in
prison for him THE Holy City, which
was the finest thing he had ever heard.
He only wished he had the words, so he
could repeat it.
Maison always preceded his songs
with little incidents, q store or winch
every good evangelist has as personal
"reminiscences" He spoke Of a little
girl which he met on a train down south
last winter thirty miles below Nash
vile. THE child came in the train he
said, dragging in one hand large rag
doll. She was sobbing as tho her heart
would break. was touched by the pitt
full sight and spoke to her. ! asked her
where she was going. She said she was
going home. / asked her where home
was She said she didn't know, but her
mamma had said she was going home a
week ago, and they took her away in a
box. He made a bed in a seat for the
babe, and covered her over with his big
overcoat. An hour later he went to
awaken her and she was asleep. Asleep
in the arms of Jesus. She had gone
home" With that he sang, II Want to
Go There, Don't Your and there wasn't
dry eye in the audience before he had
fairly started.
The Green Mountain people took up
collections for the man whose soul was
so wrapped up in the good work, and
the sum of 81 was realized. AT first ne
refused to accept it, but they insisted.
and he reluctantly took it, saying that
he would give it to a man in Marshall
town who was dying with the consump-
ton. He didn't say who the man was,
but Mrs. w. w. Hazen thinks that
Maison. himself had one form of con-
sumption, and as long as he owed $40
for board when he departed so suddenly
she thinks he might have applied it on
his own account.

is in Jail here awaiting preliminary
hearing on charges of bigamy and
adultery preferred by his first wife,
Mrs. Edith Gordan Cook, of that
place. Cooks marriage with Miss
German it seems. was forced one.
The Journal of Tuesday says:
Roy Cook. formerly Il waiter in the
Niagara restaurant in Sioux City, is
under arrest in Marshai'town, charged
with both adultery and bigamy.
ION May "a. 1901, Cook married Edith
Gorham in Sioux City. He played the
part of groom not because he wanted to,
hut because he had to. He preferred
that course to going to the penitentiary.
After the wedding, Cook agreed to be
a nice young man and settle down, but
i. seems he preferred 20 settle down
With another girl.
mot long ago Mrs. Edith Gorham-
Cook learned that her handsome young
husband was living with another wom-
an at Marshalltown. She consulted with
an attorney in Sioux City and then
proceeded to Marshalltown, where she
filed enough information against her
faithless spouse to get him into all
kinds of trouble.
Cook was arraigned in Justice Bur-
ritt's court at Marshalitown on two
charges yesterday morning. Ihs
charges are bigamy ana adultery. he
pleaded not guilty, and March ~ was
set as a time for the hearing. His bond
was fixed at $1,000.
Cook formely was night clerk at the
Pilgrim hotel, Marshalltown. Mrs.
Clara Thompson. a young widow
daughter Of John Swift. OF Marshall
town. was clerk at the cigar stand
there, and Cook approved of her. he
approved of her to such an extent that
on Oct. % he married her without the
consent of his first Wife.
Cooks defense is tEst he had not
been living with his first wife, ana ne
understood there was no bar to MS
marrying again.

husband.
Cooks full name is Nathan Leroy
Cook. Before marrying his first wife
