4 SHAME To Poison Children.

q have made coffee during the r years l have kept house on an average of at least once a day until We gave it up altogether. My husband was often forced to leave off drinking it for seV- eral weeks a q time owing to severe pains in his heart which he declared were caused by coffee"
 So says a lady of s. Atkinson, Me. II had bad stomach trouble. my appetite was poor and what food I ate did not digest and I had no strength.
 T also had bad nervous trouble and suffered much from headaches and feeling of suffocation and faintness. We have four children and all were very fond Of coffee and drank it every morn ing, seldom eating much breakfast. They were pale and often complained of feeling faint and dizzy and one daughter had indigestion badly. My husbands father who lives with us was badly bloated and sometimes said I believe coffee hurts me- But after trying for a few days to get along without it the habit of a lifetime proved too strong ard he would call for cup of coffee.
 Last spring we began reading about the wonderful cures by Postum Food
  cided to try it. So We stopped coffee and began using Postum. In surpris- | ingly short time We all noticed a very l decided change in health all round. The chiidren's apI cities improved and after using Postum q short time they began 1 to eat hearty breakfasts every morn ing. Elizabeth's dyspepsia is all gone | and she says she can eat anything now | nd i longer comp'ain of feeling faint and l dizzy and all are growing plump and rosy.
 II have gained eight pounds myself ! although doiug more work than l have i been able to dc for years. My appetite is good, food diSests. nerves are strong CT and I have none of the other troubles. It is simply wonderful.
 My husband has no mere trouble with his heart and Father-in-law does not 6loat and can breathe much more | easily.
 We had made the change from cof- fee to Postum without telling Father in-law but ore morning after We had used Postuni {. short time he slipped his coffee and said How much better this
 is. how did you happen to get such good coffee?' and he was greatly sur
 prised when told it was not coffee but

 that it has done him great good and , he has not been so well for years all though he is now 70 years of age A

BRITISH MESSAGE.
Neither Turkey Nor Bulgaria May Ex-
 pect English Support.

London. Sept. 25.-It was stated at the foreign office today that Sir Nicho- las O'Connor, the British ambassador at Constantinopie.' had been instructed to inform the pcrte that neither Turkey nor Bulgaria must expect support from the British govrnment in resisting openly or secretly the execution of the reforms proposed for Macedonia as al- ready promulgated: that the reforms in the opinion of the British govern ment were the minimum of what was required; that the steps taken to give effect to them, even making allowance for the difficulties of the situation, were lamentably inadequate and that fac more prompt and more effective meas ures for this purpose were required than had hitherto been adopted by the Turkish authorities.
 The Bulgarian government received a similar intimation.
 Premier Balfour, in a lengthy letter to the archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Davidson, discusses the Macedonian situation. The letter is a reply to the archbishop's action in drawing atter- tion to the growing uneasiness among churchmen at the apparent apathy of the powers while unspeakable atroci- ties are perpetrated in Macedonia
 MT. Balfour says he is in entire syni- pathy with the feelings of horror and indignation. and fully understands t::a desire to give expression in public meeting to the sentiment of reproduction which recent events justified.
 Balfour then proceeds to analyze the situation, concluding as follows: T cannot but believe that the best hope of dealing with it lies in the co-opera- tion of Russia and Austria, strength ened with the support and aided by the advice of the other sigma tories of the treaty of Beriin.''

 The secretary said that we either must issue more bonds as a basis of national bank circulation or provide some substitute The present volume of government bonds, he said, was in sufficient and recent demand for s6,O00,000 of government bonds had consequently advanced the price of the government bonds to a figure that made national bank circulation un- profitable.
