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 of coffee abso-
lutely.
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-
quires to change the blood corpuscles
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
well boiled Postum Food Coffee to shift
to, both these steps are easy and pleas
ant The experience of Georgian
proves how important both are.
From 1872 TO the year 1900 my wife
and l had both been afflicted with sick
or nervous headache and at times we
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
drinkers and did not know how 10 get
away from it, for the habit is hard TO
quit.
But in 1900 read Of a case similar
to ours where Postum Coffee was used
In place of the old coffee and 4 COM
plete cure resulted, SO l concluded 10
get some and try it.
The result was, after three days
use of Postum in place of the coffee
never had symptom of the old trouble
and in five months I had gained from
145 pounds to 163 pounds.
"My friends asked me almost daily
what wrought the change. Ny answer
always is, leaving off coffee and drink
ing Postum in its place.
I'VE have many friends who have
been benefited by Postum.
"As to whether or not have stated
the facts truthfully refer you to the
Bank of Carrollton or any business
firm in that city where have lived for
many years and am well known"

A SPRING SONG.

When Love comes to my garden
He walks with dainty tread,
The lilies blaze before him,
The moss-rose lifts its head;
The trim-kept lawns grow greener,
The borders blush with pride.
The buds burst into blossom
When Love walks by my side.
When Love leaves my sad garden
The roses petals fall,
The jasmine's scented clusters
Fade, dying, on the wall;
The lawns grow dock and thistle,
The paths are rank with weeds,
And all the dainty borders
Are strewn with fallen seeds.
Sweet Love, stay in my garden,
Rest in its rosy shades,
Bask in its scented sunshine,
Dream in its leafy glades;
Sing to the strings Of pleasure.
Through ali life's penilune:
Make every season summer.
Let every month be June.

A Mere Nothing.


There are men who, after battle,
die of imaginary wounds, and there
ere others who seem incapable of real
izing actual danger. OF the latter class
was brave fellow whose courage is
thus described in Regis de TrObriand's S

He was a strapping Irishman, whom
found, smoking his pipe, at the door
of the hall where lay the wounded.
"Well,' said l to him, ''how do you
find yourself?"
Perfectly. Colonel. Never better in
my life"
"Why have you got your face half
covered with bandages then?"
"Oh, a mere nothing, a scratch. I'll
show it to YOU"
mo, 1 thank YOU"
"Yes, yes, you will see what 1t IS"
Raising congresses and bandages
he showed me a gaping wound in the
place of the eyebrows. which had been
carried away.
Il see." said I, "that your wound
has not been dressed this morning"
''No, the doctor put this on yester-
day; but to-day he's so busy with the
others, who need his help more than 1,
thatI didn't want to bother him."
.'And your eye:"
"Gone But you see, Colonel, it's
only the left eye, and that will save
me the trouble of closing it while
take aim, which always did bother me.
In a fortnight I'll be back with the
regiment"
But the brave fellow never did re-
join his regiment. Before the fortnight
was over he had died Of this ''mere
nothing" Of which he had made so

Cafe, in Cincinnati, Ohio, recently.
Over coffee and cigars they talked over
the memorable night of April 16. 1868,
when the CarOndelet, with other Uni

long stretch of Confederate batteries
at VicksburS, then being besieged by
the Union army. The success of that
feat meant the capture of Vicksburg.
The CarOndelet also participated In the
shelling Of Fort Henry and the attacks
On Fort Donelson, ran the batteries Of
New Madrid, Mo-, took part In the
shelling Of Fort Pillow and fought the
Confederate ram Arkansas at Mem
