NO JOKE.
But 90 lbs. Of Solid Flesh.

about a person who weighed 80 pounds

Cor double) in one year by quitting
coffee and drinking Postum Coffee,
everyone who read 1T would say,
There's a joke behind that some
where"
There is a. we'll known lady in Cora
opolis, Pa, who actually made this
gain in weight as the direct result Of
leaving off coffee and taking UP Postum
Food Coffee. 1t was a very earnest
matter and far from a joke with her.
Her gain in general health kept pace
with the increase in weight.
She says For years have suffer-
ed with stomach arrangement and yio-
lent and oft recurring headaches. 1t
was not an unusual thing for our fam
lily of four to use 2h to 3 pounds of
coffee week. I was suspicious that
my troubles We're due to coffee: but
as did not like tea or cocoa or choc-
olate there seemed no palata'bae hot
drink for me to take at my meals.
Then heard of Postum and decided

health is SO great that many or my
friends make joke of it to this day

and contented so can afford to laugh
with them.

HALF A CENTURY.
A Prominent Politician is Convinced


At a recent club dinner given by
newspaper men at Washington the
conversation turned upon the subject
of testimonials and their value i'll news
paper advertising. Il do not be-
lieve," said a prominent politician VINO
was present, that one newspaper tes-
timonial in a hundred is genuine.
The owner of one of the largest news
papers in the country was present ana
took up the subject vigorously, nnally
agreeing to let his opponent select any
testimonial in his paper and wagering
to establish its genuineness to'the poi
itician's satisfaction.
Quite by accident the case OF Mr..
Newton K Young, of Pennington, n.
j., was selected. He had been com
pletely cured of a caes of hemorrholds'
or piles, by the use of Pyramid Flle
Cure. The politician was especially
skeptical regarding this case. as II was
alleged that Mr.. Young was man over
eighty years of age and had been cured
of piles after fifty years of awful SUI
fering and after all other remedies hao
failed. 1t was agreed that the polltl-
clan should write to Mr.. Geo. w. scar
borough, Phi. G., a prominent resiuehe
of Pennington and that the result OF the
controversy should rest upon his reply.
The following was Mr.. SCARBOROUGH $
answer:
"Dear Sir: Mr.. Newton X. Young
OF this town, is a man nearly elgnty
years of age, and who has been suffer-
Ing with piles for perhaps a half
century. has been completely cured by
the use of Pyramid Pile Cure. felt
especially interested in the case as 1t
was upon my recommendation that Mr..
Young began the use of the remedy
efter having used so many others.
Yours respectfully, Geo. w. Scar
borough, Phi. G.
The Pyramid Drug Company, OF Mar
shall, Mich, have this letter in their
nossession and are willing to guarantee
with a backing of one thousand dol
lars the genuineness of Mr.. Scar
boroughs testimony.

days ago this is in accordance with the
rules governing primaries, adopted by
the county convention last year. and
they will be strictly adhered to. 1t will
be impossible to register on election

STORY A "PlPE DREAM"
Police Inclined to Doubt veracity of
Hold .un Tale Told by C. II. Milton.

The police say they are inclined to
doubt the truth of the hold-up story
told by C. II. Milton, of South Sixth
street, and published in these columns
Tuesday. Milton's story was to the
effect that he was set upon by some
unknown man. near the corner of Fifth
and Main street, Monday night. and af-
ter rather desperate and bloody bat
tie, worsted the would-be hold-up. who
left the scene of the fray. The police
say that Milton did not report the mat
ter to any officer on duty that night,
but that an officer was apprised of the
fact by two boys who reported to him
that two men were fighting near the
corner of Fifth street. The officer went
at once to the scene, but no one was in
sight. The police are of the opinion 1t
was nothing more than street fight, In
which Milton was probably as much to
blame as the other man.
