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 as the following proves: Il
have used every kind of the best
grade of tea and coffee that can be
got from a first class grocer but never
found one that would not upset my
nervous system and it was not until |
began to drink Postum Food Coffee
In place of coffee ana tea that | had
relief from the terrific attacks of
nervous sick headache from which
Lad suffered for so years.
Il had tried all kinds of medicines
but none helped me.
Soon after | stopped drinking eof
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and it was not
long until | was entirely cured and
| have never had return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays ! never
drink coffee but stick to Postum
AS soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum 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 ner,
yousness has all disappeared and her
face has become smooth and he's

Robbed by a Giant Ostrich With

waistcoat, distracted my watch and
calmly swallowed 1t with look Of
intense satisfaction.
Next he explored the pockets of
my trousers, and finding my knife,
gulped that down with an expression
of gastronomic delight. My bunch of
keys followed suit, as did everything
in the way of metal or glass I had
about me.
Then, having made a sumptuous
meal of my personal belongings, he
stalked majestically away, leaving me
unframed. ! got up finally and went
through my pockets to see If he had

Lothia was in an unpleasant mood.
1t caused her to forget her habit of
prim, orderly neatness-a quality so
of her very self.
Left motherless before her recollec-
ton, she had grown to womanhood
under the watchful care of an indul.
gent father. He had never given her
premptory command, but had led
her nevertheless, high-strung and way
ward though she was, in his own way,
by sterling advice, with love and gen
tleness, and often a seeming acquies-
cence to her whims. The plans for
her future were made in her early
childhood, but Robert Yates had been
wise enough to keep this from his
headstrong daughter, while he had
guarded against complications.
OF late her father had changed, and
Lothia was uneasy about it. 1t was
now two weeks since a bulky letter
arrived for him, which she delivered
gaily remarking on its size, and
curious as to its contents. When her
father saw the envelope, his face be-
came ashen, and he lost his geniality.
Although Robert Yates had looked
forward for many years to what was
before him, now he wallowed in the
slough of despair" at the culmina-
ton of his hopes. With the thought
of separation ever before him, he
could not regain his old cheerfulness.
To-day another letter arrived bear
ing the same postmark. Lothia had
sent this one in, fearing a repetition
of the former scene. Shortly she was
summoned into her fathers presence,
to be addressed with sternness, and,
she thought, with cruelty.
'Lothia, you are grown to woman
hood, and it is time that you were
settled in life. In your infancy

now the time has arrived for the full
fillment of that plan. Tomorrow
