CAME FROM coEEEE.
A Case Where the Taking of Morphine
Began With Coffee,


For Is years" says a young Ohio
woman, Il was great sufferer from
stomach, heart and liver trouble. For
the last 10 years the suffering was
terrible; it would be impossible to
describe it. During the last three
years | had commissions from which
the only relief was the use of NOR
phine.
Il had several physicians, nearly
all of whom advised me to stop drink
ing tea and coffee, but as | could take
only liquid foods l felt I could not
live without coffee. continued drink
ing it until | became almost insane,
my mind was affected. while my whole
nervous system was a complete
wreck. / suffered day and night from
thirst and as water would only make
me sick / kept on trying different
drinks until friend asked me to try
Postum Food Coffee.
81 did so but it was some time be-
fore / was benefited by the change
my system was so filled with coffee
poison. 1t was not long, however, be-
fore could eat all kinds of foods and
drink all the cold water | wanted and
which my system demands. 1t is now
years have drank nothing but Pos
tum for breakfast and supper and the
result has been that in place of being
an invalid with my mind affected | am
now strong, sturdy, happy and
healthy.
Il have a very delicate daughter
who has been greatly benefited by
drinking Postum. also a strong boy,
who would rather go without food for
his breakfast than his Postum. So
much depends on the proper cooking
of Postum for unless it is boiled the
proper length OF time people will be
disappointed in ii. Those in the habit
of drinking strong coffee should make
the Postum very strong at first in
order to get a strong coffee taste"

OLD TIME SPORT REVIVED.
Falconry Practiced in Scotland With
in Recent Years.


Hunting with falcons was revived in
Scotland some years ago by Sir Henry
Bethune. A writer on field sports
says: THE falconers had an old set.
ter dog which hunted till he found
covey of partridges. The falconers
then threw off hawk which rose
in circles till very high. then lowered
above the dog. The dog looked up to
see II the hawk was ready, and then
ran in and reused the birds. Swoop
went the hawk If he missed, the
birds generally went into hedge and
the hawk scared again and lowered
over the birds. The old dog then went
off after them and got another point.
If the hawk killed its bird the falcon
err went gently to 1t and picked il up.
If not he had to fetch the bird with
the lure, dummy bird with a bit of
pigeon on it. He called the hawk
'Killy, killy. Voiyook,' a sort of view
halloo, and hurled the lure in the air.
The hawk stopped to 1t and began
to eat the pigeon and he then sue
ceeded in picking it up"

to pour into each nest about a tea

wards plugging the hole with a small

and the fumes penetrate into all the
