SMASH AT COFFEE.
BY An Earnest, Honest Clergyman.

A Pennsylvania clergyman found
there was something wrong so went to
the bottom of a very important matter
where he learned the truth and made
a report for the benefit of others in
which he says:
when q student at Cornell Univer-
sity in "a | tempered somewhat with
coffee and also smoked moderately,
and strange to relate coffee was my
bitter enemy far in excess OF cigars or
tobacco. This conclusion was reached
after careful test and was not guess
work. After my graduation l went
into the school room where L was
teacher for some years until l was
finally compelled to refrain from the
use of coffee altogether. l proved
that it destroyed my thinking powers
hampered concentration and produced
bilious tendencies which finally result
ed in complete physical collapse.
$50 l got a grocer to order q dozen
packages of Postum for me and be-
gan using it. found it delicious and
when 1 showed them how to prepare
IL according to the directions on the
package many persons in that COM
munity were soon using 1T regularly in
place of tea and coffee.
II am now pastor of the First Bap-
fist Church and once or twice in my
PASTORAL visits have risked a cup of
coffee, but every time | have to pay
the same penalty of a restless night
and unsettled stomach.
Postum seems to give me back my
head again. in fact my blood is toned
and strengthened, my bowels regu-
lated and my general system entirely
built up SO much so that / regard
Postum a God-send to the busy man
or woman. especially those of seden-
tary habits because of its brain re-
storing power. My wife gets just as
good benefits from Postum as | do and
is as loud in it's praise.
1--WE owe our very best selves to God
and the home, and as alcohol, tobacco.
coffee and tea. are great causes of
nervousness, disturbed liver and other
ailments which render us unfit to
serve our Maker or fellow beings
therefore / most respectful recon-
mend Postum as a delicious. non
stimulant, wholly temperate and up
building food tonic in place of the
stimulants and slow poisons." Name

EMPTY GUN SHE'LL.
Mark Made by Hammer Link in
Chain of Evidence.

Kinston, n. c., June 18.-The jury
was secured late yesterday afternoon
for the Thompson murder trial. There
are over twenty State witnesses, only
six of whom had been examined up
to noon today, and quite a number
of witnesses will be put on by the de-
PENDANT. The testimony of the six
witnesses heard tends to forge a
strong chain of circumstances point
ing to the guilt of Thompson. Some
of these strongest circumstances are
the tracks, the direction they led and
most damaging of all a peculiar mark
on an empty gun shell found at the
place of the shooting, which mark it
was later proven was made by Thomp-
sons gun, or a mark exactly like the
one on the shell found at the place.
This peculiar mark is said to have
been caused by a certain lost motion
