ABOUT COMPILATIONS.
Food Makes Them Good or Bad

Food Makes Them Good or Bad.
Saturate the human body with
strong coffee and it will in time show
in the complexion of the coffee
drinker.
This is caused by the action Of
coffee on the liver, thus throwing part
of the bile into the blood Coffee
compilations are sallow and muddy
and will stay that way until coffee is
given up entirely.
The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee and drink
Postum Food Coffee which makes red
blood. 81 had been for more than 20
years an inveterate coffee drinker
and it is absolutely true that | had
so completely saturated myself with
this drug that my complexion toward
the last became perfectly yellow and
every nerve and fibre in me was
affected by the drugs in coffee.
For days at a time | had been
compelled to keep to my bed on &C.
count of nervous headache and stom-
ache trouble and medicines did not
give me any relief l had never con-
suited a physician in regard to my
headaches and terrible complexion
and | only found out the cause of
them after / commenced the use OF
Postum which became known to me
through Grape-Nuts. We all liked the
food Grape-Nuts and it helped us so
we thought Postum must certainly
have merit and we concluded to try
it. We found it so delicious that we
continued the use altogether although
| never expected II to help my health.
After a few months my headaches
were all gone and my complexion had
cleared wonderfully then knew that
my troubles had been caused by cof-
fee and had been cured when l left
of coffee and drank Postum in its
place" Name given by Postum Co..
Battle Creek. Mich.
Postum will change the blood OF
any coffee t-inker and rosy cheeks
and health take the place of a yellow
skin and disease.

FIRE AT A CIRCUS.
The Car Barns Of the Barnum q
Bailey show Burned.
CAUSED BY The FALL OF 4 LAMP
Excitement Oecasionsd During the no
movai Of the Elephants Other Animals
Ut No Time We're in Danger More
Than 1850 Feet of Barns Burned.

Of the Barnum q Bailey circus here
yesterday and burned a number Of

the floor in the midst of a quantity
matter. While the fire was at its
height cornice fell, carrying to the
ground with IL ~ firemen who were
at work on the roof. The men were
considerably bruised, but were not
otherwise injured. Considerable ex-
element was occasioned during the
removal Of IA elephants which were
quartered in building adjoining the
car barns. 1t was necessary to re-
move the elephants through door
facing the burning building and
across the tracks between rows of
burning and smoking cars. In order
to accomplish this safely the four
keepers took one animal out one at |
a time until the entire herd was re-
moved. The loud trumpeting Of the
elephants gave rise to rumor that
the animals had broken loose. This
rumor rapidly spread around the city
and occasioned much alarm. The
other animals, however, were at no
time in danger. The fire was under
control in about half an hour.
Six new Pullman cars, valued at
$4,000 each, and two new fiat cars,
valued at $4,000, were destroyed.
More than $50 feet of the barns was
burned to the ground and ten stock
Ears which were standing outside the
