IT'S A MISTAKE
TO ATTRIBUTE COFFEE ILLS TO POOR
GRADES OF COFFEE,

Many people lay all the blame for the diseases
caused by coffee upon the poorer grades of coffee
but this Is an error, the following proves: Il
have used every kind of the best grade Of tea and
coffee that can be got FROM a rstclass grocer, but
never found one that would not upset my nervous
system, and II was not until began to drink Pos
tum Food Coffee in place of coffee and tea that 1
had relief from the terrific attacks of nervous sick
headache from which had suffered for 80 years
Il had tried all kinds of medicines but none
helped me.
Soon after sopped drinking coffee and gan to
drink Postum the headaches grew less and it was
not long until l entirely cured, and ! have
never had return of this distressing trouble, for
nowadays l never drink coffee, but stick to Pos
tum
LAS my wife what Postum had done
for me she gave up coffee which she had drank all
her life. This was six weeks ago, and she is
a changed woman for her nervousness has all dis
appeared her face has become smooth and her
cheeks have good rosy red color. She sleeps WELL
too, something she could never do while she drank
coffee. We consider Postum a household necessity
In my house and have induced many friends to try
this wonderful food drink in place Of coffee. -

ii Can Hardly be Secured for Love
or Money in Paducah.
Kindling Ii Also Hard TO Get-wagons
Remain for Hours Waiting
Their Turn.
SOME OF THE CAUSES OF Ia

There IL At present a stovewood and
kindling famine in Paducah, and Il Is
hard to get any Of either. Every day
the express wagons may be found lined
mp around the mills waiting for the
wood and kindling TO be cut, and then
often they are disappointed.
There are several reasons for 1t.
One h that the mills use great
deal OF this waste wood in their
furnaces, and have only a limited
supply TO sell. Another il that the
price of coal has driven many citi-
zens 10 buy wood. and some wood and
kindling are shipped away.
Much Of the wood is very bad, being
from wet logs Just out Of the water,
but the demand for It is just As great,
and people are glad to get that at &
dollar . load. There is a daily sorsm.
bla among teAmsters at the mills and
factories for loads, and many com
plants are heard Of the inability 60
hnd stovewood at any price. Loads
that come TO the market from the
country are quickly gobbled mp, and
much of 1t is purchased before 1t is
brought In.
Another oause for the shortage IL
the unusual demand for wood result.
ing from the enormous sale Of the
sheet iron wood.furnsoes that cost a
few dollars and are in nearly every
home in Paducah, from the highest to
tho lowliest
Il is hardly expected that there will
be any relief from the famine until
warm weather, as the mills could fur
nish much more than they have or
can possibly cut.
