The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely cured by
changing from coffee to Postum Food
Coffee knows something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about it. A
California lady says: Il learned the
truth about coffee in a peculiar way.
NV huband who has for years been OF
q. very bilious temperament decided to
leave off coffee and give Postum
trial. and as did not want the trouble
of making two beverages for meals,
I concluded to try Postum too, and the
results have been that while my hus-
band has been greatly benefited, I
have myself received even greater
benefit. When began to drink Pos
tum 1 was thin in flesh and very
nervous and now I actually weigh 16
pounds more than did at that: time
and L am stronger physically and in
my nerves, while husband is cured OF
all his ails.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum, too, for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall always continue to
do SO. We have no more use for cof-
fee--the drug drink. We prefer Pos

THE THOMAS CONCERTS
They Are to Be Given in Wesley
|. Church-Big Platform to Be
.-er..-'. Erected.

The arrangements for the coming
appearance Of the Theodore Thomas
orchestra in this city are now COM
pleted. ,.- ~ ....-,. ~ &c.,. -. -. iii
The auditorium of Wesley church
has been decided upon for the con-
certs. 1t Is one Of the most spacious
places available, conveniently situated
and with every facility for the COM
fort of persons attending the concerts.
The church authorities have, con-
scented to the erection of a large plat
form to accommodate the army Of in
strumentalists comprising the Theo-
dore Thomas aggregation. The dates
of the concerts are Wednesday and
Saturday evenings, Nov. 1S and Fl.
AS is generally known, Mr.. Thomas
himself no longer conducts the or
chestra when it gives concerts outside
Of Chicago, its home. FREDERICK A.
Stock, the assistant conductor, will
therefore direct the concerts to be
given in Minneapolis. Mr.. Stock is a
musician, composer and conductor of
exceptional ability and Is already be-
ing talked Of as Mr.. Thomas sue
cessor when the latter shall lay down
his baton for good. ..s@
Mrs. Willard S. Bracken, one of
Chicago's foremost contraltos, will
appear as a soloist at each concert.
She appeared with the Chicago Apol-
10 club last season in the ''Hora No
vissima" and has been re-engaged for
their Christmas production Of the
Messiah" Leopold Kramer, the con-
certmeister Of the orchestra, will
also appear as a soloistEat the first
concert, playing a concerto for violin
and orchestra, and Bruno Steindl, the
'cellist, will appear as soloist at the
second concert playing a concerto for
cello and orchestra.
The Theodore Thomas orchestra,
one of the most famous in the world
and one of the two most famous in
the United States, was organized by
Mr.. Thomas forty years ago. Twelve
years ago it was brought to Chicago
and since then has been maintained
there by the Orchestral association
| composed Of many wealthy Chicago
men and women. 1t is an institution
which exists solely for the sake Of art
and, it is said that in the last decade
nearly a half million dollars over and
| above all receipts have been paid out
| for it's maintenance. Two weeks every
| fall the orchestra is obliged to vacate
| the Auditorium In Chicago, on &C
count Of other performances giver
there, and 1t utilizes this fortnight II
making a tour. The musicians com
prisng the orchestra must be paid az
usual and SO 1t comes about, thai
after the payment Of railroad fares
etc, the proceeds derived from the
concerts, given outside of Chicago, are
applied to help meet the annual de.
felt Of the Orchestral association.
