the national game. poker. Yet the
principal Is the same, the desire In

Montreal men, the market building and
the buildings on the other side of the
square We're saved. By this time, the

It's Easy to Shake Off the Coffee
Habit.

There are many people who make the
humiliating acknowledgement that they
arc dependent upon Coffee to brace
them up every little while. These have
never learned the truth about Postum
Cereal Coffee which makes leaving OF
coffee a simple matter and brings
health and strength in place of coffee
ills. A lady of Davenport, Iowa, who
has used Postum Food Coffee for five
years is competent to talk upon the
subject. She says:
Il am school teacher, and during
extra work when l thought I needed to
be braced up l used to indulge in rich
strong coffee of which l was very fond
and upon which l thought l was de
pendent.
Il began to have serious heart p3.pi-
tation and at times had sharp pains
around the heart and more or less
stomach trouble. | read about Postum
and got some to try. l dropped coffee,
took up the Postum and it worked such
wonders for me that many of my
friends took it up.

Boston. May 20.-While screaming
women and terrified men ran up and
down the corridors of the Hampton
house in Haymarket square when fire

who had been overcome by smoke. One
Of the men being afflicted with inflam-
matory rheumatism was helpless even

room, absolutely helpless from in
1ammatory rheumatism. He had been

'icemcn reached him. He was carried

Ifter much vigorous work
Meanwhile employees of the hotel and
guests had placed the fire under control
with pals of water and extineuishers
md it was soon out. The loss is placed
1T $500. The guests for a time were
considerably excited. but they soon be-
came calmer when they realized that
there was little danger.
