BAD DREAMS
Indicate Improper Diet, Usually Due
to Coffee.

One Of the common symptoms Of cof-
fee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly was q slave to coffee. I
was like a morphine fiend. could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when I did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches
and feel bad all day, so nervous could
not attend to- business. My writing
looked like bird tracks, had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-
ton, heartburn and palpitation of the
heart, constipation, irregularity of the
Kidneys etc.
Indeed, began to feel I had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer:
but when friend advised me to leave
on coffee felt as if he had insulted
me. could not bear the idea, it had
such a hold on me and refused to be-
lieve it the cause.
But it turned out that mo- advice
was ever given at q more needed time,
for ! finally consented to try Postum,
and with the going Of coffee and the

HERON FAMILY IS DOOMED.
One of the Most Beautiful Of Bird
Races Is Being Rapidly Wiped
Out by Women. .@t*<~.zs ,

Twenty years ago the price for an
ounce OF heron feathers was three or
four dollars at most. 1t is now more
than quadrupled. Thirty-two. dollars
per ounce was recently offered for fine
plumes. -'" -.
The much-sought-for "ai grette" or
"osprey'' of commerce is a tuft worn
by the heron during a very limited por-
ton of the year-that is, during the
mating season.
Unfortunately for their race, the
nerons during this time gather into
colonies. Whether this is for the sa- 2
of mutual protection, or simply a So
cial instinct, rornithologists have not
been able to decide. T.
The rest of the IL months they wan
der wild over large districts, when It
becomes impossible for hunters to kill
them in quantities that would pay"
However, during the colonizing peri
cd they seem to lose all feeling of fear
or nomad:sm, and the hunter is en-
abled to slaughter them wholesale.
The killing of the parent birds en-
tails the death, by starvation, of the lit
tie ones. A nest Of them is often found
surrounded by the mutilated bodies of
the adults and clamoring piteously for
fooc.
Few women who wear aigrettes can
be acquainted with the details of these
massacres. If SO, they would select
some other form of trimming

late hours. She must attend receptions

quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or

herself in a condition known as sys-

catarrhal nervousness. .

tured. This can always be accepted as
untrue. These beautiful sprays have
never yet been successfully initiated.
All that are offered for sale have been
torn from the warm bodies of the
smaller white herons. Even the stiff
plumes known to milliners as stubs
are not manufactured. They are taken
from the larger species of white her
ons.
Heron sprays are frequently sold as
'ospreys." According to the Audubon
conceal the fact that heron plumes are
being handled commercially.
Both "aigrettes" and stubs" are
dyed various colors, especially black;
however, no matter what is the tint of
the plume when offered for sale at the
milliner's, it's original color when on
the back of the heron was white; the
artificial color is merely in response
to the dictates of fashion.
1t is. conceded that the sale of
aigrettes from the American bid is
prohibited, but it is claimed that there
are no laws that prevent the sale of
imported goods. Granting that this
may be the case, how is the buyer to
tell whether the goods are from Ameri-
can or old world herons? The most
expert Ornithologists cannot separate
the plumes after they are taken from
the birds.
The heron family, although sadly
! thinned out in numbers, is distributed
over large portion of the globe. Their
food consists Of small fish, aquatic IN
