MRS. ROOSEVELT.

Mrs. Roosevelt is woman of deyout

family worship has troubled certain

been delivered upon it. That the frank,

creed Is really convincing tribute to

and an evidence Of true unity of feel.

In this matter, as In all the others,
Mrs. Roosevelt is untroubled by out

undertake seriously to consider critl-

have been trliie amazed at first TO
discover that her wise provision for
the saving of national furniture should
be regarded as the vandalism OF n per-

coffee users and is liable to send the

victim Of the coffee heart" writes
from Oregon:
II have been a habitual user OF cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which I became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage. such
as torpid liver and Indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
Then my heart became affected. 1t
would beat most rapidly Just after I
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore OF. Some
times my pulse would go as high as
137 heats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use Of Postum Food Coffee.
II gave up the old coffee entirely
and absolutely. and made Postum my
sole table beverage. This was six
months ago. and all my ills. the indi.
gestion. inactive liver and rickety

my complexion has become clear and

Did Little Damage and Were Really
a Good Thing for Many People.
There were quite a number of small
fires yesterday which were actually of
a good deal of benefit to many people.
In the first place they helped the
trade of P. A. Clemmer, our popular
Druggist, as he sold the Wadsworth
Bros. "Chicos" which were burned.
Then they benefited the smokers, for
it certainly is benefit to any man to
find a cigar for &c. that will give him
more satisfaction than 10c. cigars
have before.
We might say Gruthfully that these
cigars were good thing for many
others, as nothing makes man more
good natured than satisfactory
smoke, such as he alyays gets when
he lights "Chico."
p. A. Clemmer hassecured the local
agency for Wadsworth Bros. 'Chicos,
and wants all smokers to try them
