MlLLINOCkET IN DANGER.
Blaze in Woods Calls Out All the Fire
Fighting Force.

Millinocket. Me, May IA bad
forest fire back of Shack hill, about
a mile from the town of Millinocket
and a half a mile from the big plant
of the Great Northern Paper Co, was
raging fcrcely, Monday, and With Il
stiff wind blowing from the southwest,
sparks and embers We're dropping all
around the village.
A force of men was sent to the scene
of the contlagration to attempt to stop
its progress in this direction.
The woods are dry now and the
flames famed by the strong wind
drives the fire along swiftly.
The whole town is out in readiness
to meet any emergency which may
arise. The air is smoky and hot from
the conllagration.

POOR Dominic.
Between the Devil and the Deep Sea

A clergyman of Gresham, Neb., who
drank coffee for many years suffered
from chronic insomnia and from ter
rife headaches when he quit coffee. He
says: Il have been a very heavy user
of coffee for so long ana have seen it's
effects so clearly that there is now no
doubt in my mind concerning it's inju-
1ious effects upon the nervous system
While a coffee user | was unable to
sleep for hours after retiring at night
and on the other hand terrific head
aches resulted if the regular hour for
drinking coffee passed and | did not
get it so | was in Il miserable position.
But | found a firm friend in Postum
Cereal Coffee and from the very time
that 1 adopted Postum. all these evil
effects vanished. l now enjoy sound
sleep and improved appetite and a de-
cidedly clearer complexion and l am
convinced that better health and a
longer life would be the result of its
general use. l have a friend who has
been a user of Postum for several
years and the story of her recovery
from neuralgia of the stomach simply
by using Postum in place of coffee
seems almost too wonderful to be true.
Many times she was near Deaths door
and the doctors had frequently given
her case up as hopeless but she was
entirely healed by leaving off coffee and
using Postum. tits pleasure to say
these good things about Postum"
Name given by Postum Co, Battle
Creek, Mich.

On Sundays he dresses the figure in the best clothes his wife had at her death, gets out all of her jewelry and places it about the neck and on the hands of the doll.
 Week days, when he goes to the field, the rag doll is carried by him and placed under the shelter of a tree in summer or in some protected spot in cold weather. He always car ries luncheon for himself and the doll, and never eats the latter's portion.
