TWO STEPS,.
The Last One Helps the First.

A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and well again.
The first is TO cut off coffee abso-
iutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment. The next step is to take LIQUID
food land that is Postum Food Coffee
that has in it the elements nature re-
CURES to change the blood corpusrlel
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place of the
broken down cells destroyed by coffee.
with we'll boiled Postum Food Coffes
to shift to, both these steps are easy
ana pleasant. The experience of A
Georgian proves how important both
are.
From 1872 to the year 1900 my villa
and | had both been afflicted with sici.
or nervous headache and at times we
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
ofinkers and did not know how to get
away from it for the nabit is hard 10

But in 1900 | read of a case similai.

In place of the Old coffee and a COM
plete cure resulted, so concluded 20
get some and try 1t.
The result was. after three DAYS use
OF Postum In place of the coffee
never had a symptom of the old
trouble aud in five months had
gained from las pounds to 1863 pounds
My friends asked me almost da.iy
what wrought the change. My answer
always is, leaving cf coffee and drin.-
ing Postum in its place.
We have many friends who have

PLAYERS AT MONTE CARLO.
Are Closely Watched and Investigated
by LARGE Number Of Ac-
tive Spies.

Nowhere on earth is the faculty 81
well developed as at Monte Carlo o
extracting the last sou from the pub
lie. The place has grown seYera
times over in ten years. The annna
profits amount to about $1,000, 900
1t has become a huge gambling trusl
up to date. keeping abreast Of tht
times and defying aud meeting all
competition, says a writer in the Lon
don Mail.
The splendid business capacity of NJ
Blanc, who is Monte Carlo as much
"a Mr. Chamberlain is the fiscal ques-
ton, has led him 10 make the diseoY-
cry that some lucky gamblers have
been taking money away from Monte
Carlo. This is a defect in his sys-
ten that he intends to remedy, as
in his opinion the Casino company
needs the cash more than anyone else
does.
About 200 active spies are employed
al Monte Carlo. They throng the
gambling rooms, pick up facts about
the players, catch and expel pick
pockets, track persons who exude
counterfeit coins. and make them
selves generally useful 10 their en-
plOyers.
One Of their duties is TO collect sta
tistics as to how much the big win
ners win and what they do with it.
These gentry have discovered that
when a gambler has won a few thou
sand pounds at thirty-or-forty or rou-
lette he becomes tired of both distrac-
tons, lie wants new worlds to con-
qucr, and he goes off and loses all
his profits at Nice or Cannes al the
baCcarat tables.
Here you have the Monte Carlo ifs
question. and NJ. Blanc has taken
to prevent the deleterious ex-
portation of bullion that might very
well remain where it is.
So now you can play baccarat. or
OF poker at Monte Carlo.
They are not played in the Casino.
There's isn't Don A sumptuous cluD
has been established, and winnings
from the Casino company's Golfers go
to those same Golfers via the
club.
Monte Carlo is keeping up with the
lines. 1t is being run more and more

phases Of the Darwininn doctrine ns
'.the survival of the fttest-" He also
introduced Comte's coined word 80

He was a bachelor and long lived In

an esta blishment Of his own. where he
could have about him people OF Dis

it is impossible to publish their names

pears upon first inspection to be n
somewhat formidable one an investi-
