CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's One Way to Get It.

Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other alls get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved if they're not afraid TO leave 1t
to a test as in the case of a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what l suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week |
would have to remain in bed, at other
times l couldn't lie down the pain
would be 70 great. My life was a tor
ture and If | went away from home
for a day l always came back more
dead than alive.
Zone day | was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that 1t was probably coffee caused 1t.
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
That's how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
OF my old troubles. All l did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
"0ur house was like a drug store for
my husband bought everything he
heard of to help me without doing
any good but when l began on the
Postum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared. 1
have a friend who had an experience
just like mine and Postum cured her
just as it did me.

aches but my general health has been
improved and / am much stronger

The London Globe says: The
French ministry OF finance has just
published the statistics of the wills
proved in France in 1903. and from
this it Is evident that the number Of
very rich people in the country has
been grossly exaggerated. Last year
only 497 wills leaving more than
100000 francs, or 100000, we're
proved, and Of these only LA exceed
ed 1000, 900 francs, OF 100000. There
we're only eight fortunes of over TO-.
600, 900 francs, or G400, 900, and the
highest Of all was of the exceptional
value of a2 900. 900. 1t Is evident,
then, that the real millionaires in
France are very few, but 1t should
be noted that rich men in France
marry rich wives, so that a family
may be much more wealthy than the
will of either father or mother would
imply. But the fact remains that the
Frenchman is too wise to be given over
to the hunger for gold, and that the
whole Joy of living for him is not cen.
tered in piling up dollars, as it seems
to be across the Atlantic. He is salts.
fed with thousands Of francs, and
with the appearance rather than the
actually of wealth. He likes to re.
tire and live at his ease, and therein
he follows the dictates Of the old.

The Suns Heat Permanent.


The heat of the sun is growing coli
stantly less and will in time disap'
pear" This Is the dire condition OF
things as the scientists have been tell
ing us. This ominous fact has not
seriously affected the mind of the aver
age mortal, however, for the catastro-
pre- was kindly placed afar off-several
million years. 1t is fortunate that this
mas been the case, for the doctors are
beginning to disagree on the mome,.t'
GUS question as to the finite career Of
his majesty, the Sun, and anxiety
would have been wasted.
The other day, in st. Louis, d.,
Svanti Orrhenius, of a Swedish uni
'ersity, read a remarkable paper prov
ing that the suns heat Is gained in
quite another fashion than had been
supposed. For the anxious we append
this description OF the new theory.
"A particle near the sun can have n
diameter; that Is, cross section, 80
that light and every other form OF
radiation from the sun will strike 1t
and balance gravity. 1t will float in
the atmosphere of the sun without
weight, but If the diameter of the
particle is smaller than the critical
dimension the particle will fly away
from the sun to the earth in sixty
eight hours"
But 1t will fly away, come into the
sphere Of activity of other SUI and
fall therein, keeping up their heat,
and our sun receives from all the 9th
ers also. The inevitable conclusion
Is that the heat of our own and all Of
the other suns is perpetual, SO the
universe is shown scientifically to be
without beginning or end"

lily we can come to conclusions abCut

In japan.

According to old and established
custom In Japan, the eldest child,
whether male or female, must, under
all circumstances, abide at and in
habit the home. BY this means a
continuous succession is assured, and
the estates cannot pass into the hands
of strangers. From this arrangement
1t follows, of necessity, that no eld-
est child can marry and live with an
eldest child of the opposite sex. When
an heiress weds, her husband must
assume the family name.
