Coffee Acts the Jonah and Will Come

A clergyman who pursues his noble
calling In country parish in Iowa.
tells of his coffee experience:
My wife and I used coffee regular
ly for breakfast, frequently for dinner
and occasionally for supper-always
the very best quality-package coffee
never could find a place on our table.
In the spring of 1896 my wife was
taken with violent vomiting which we
had great difficulty in stopping.
1t seemed to come from coffee
drinking but we could not decide.
In the following July, however.
she was attacked a second time by
the vomiting. l was away from home
hlilng an appointment, at the time
ana on my return l found her very
low; she had literally vomited herself
almost to death, and it took some DAYS
10 quiet the trouble and restore her
stomach.
had also experienced the same
trouble, but not so violently, and had
renewed 1t, each time, by resort to
medicine.
But my wife's second attack salts
ned me that the use of coffee was at
Inc bottom OF our troubles, and so we
stopped 1T forthwith and took on
fostum Food Coffee. The old symp-
toms OF disease disappeared and DIR
ing the years that we have been
using Postum instead of coffee we
nave never had a recurrence of the
vomiting. We never weary of Postum,
10 which we know we owe our good
health. This is simple statement

HOW LAvALETTE WAS SAVED
English Officer Preserved Life of One

On the escape. of Napoleon from
Elba one of the generals who rejoined
him was the brave Gen. Lavalette, a
soldier Of great distinction. When
Napoleon was defeated Gen. Lava.
lette was taken prisoner and barbar.
ously sentenced to death as a traitor
And as a traitor he would have been
executed were it not for Capt. Hely
Hutchinson and two other English sol
diers, one of them being Gen. Wilson
Gen. Lavalette was in prison on the
night before the morning appointed
for the execution, when he was visited
by his wife, daughter and maid.
After an affecting interview in the
cell, the generals wife, apparently,
was led forth by her maid in an al
most fainting condition. But 1t was
really Lavalette himself, who had DON
ned his wifes clothes. He was taken
hurriedly to the quarters of Hely-
Hutchinson and his chivalrous Cocoon
sp1rators, and having been dressed in
the uniform of an English officer, he
drove boldly out of Paris and was
speedily across the frontier.

NO MORE HEADACHE
GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVER
DISAPPEAR TOO.
How a Woman Was Freed from rro,,h,..
That Had Made Life wretched for
MANY Years


The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from Door
or poisoned blood. In anBmia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper-
Iectly nourished and pain is the way in
winch they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves and produces pain. In rheu-
matlsm, malaria and the grip, the poison
IN the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood IN the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at hest
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison ont
OF the blood. DIR. Williams Pink Pills
on the contrary thoroughly renew the
blood and the pain disappears perma-
nently. Women i'll particular have found
these pills an unfailing relief in head
aches caused by anmmia.
Miss Stella Blocker recently said: CDR.

bracing eight regiments. One
brigade was posted on and about
the road, near Green's position;
the other, which formed the Fed
eral right, was posted in the woods
and fields east of the road. The
latter brigade was soon strengthen
ed on the extreme right by the
nine regiments (two regiments) of
Hovey's Division, and later in the
forenoon by a brigade of A. J..
Smiths Division. These twenty
one regiments were supported by
six batteries. but this large force
was probably not all engaged at the

withdrawn and rested while fresher
troops replaced them.

the FederaIs continued to advance,
but were greeted, says Col. Stone,
"by tremendous volley of muske-
try" The Confederates then open

which was answered by an Iowa
and an Indiana battery. Stones
report says:
1.-The fire of the Rebel batteries

abled many of our men and horses.

talon and the Sixth Mississippi,
together with one battery. He
made a personal reconnaissance
along the Magnolia Church Road ;
but, instead OF seizing the formid-
able heights at Widows Creek, he
prepared to give battle at the
church, a position of far less
strength.
The same afternoon, when Bow
en- had got definite information of
the Federal advance from Bruins
burg, he went to inspect Green's
preparations at the church. Salts
fed with the choice of this spot,
Bowen hurried back to Grand Gulf
ten or twelve miles distant-and
that night dispatched reinforce
ments to his positions on Big Black
and Bayou Pierre. those streams,
both navigable at that season, being
threatened with the ascent of gun
boats. In this service he employed
four regiments, two battalions and
three batteries of artillery, total
of about I, 500 men. The defense
of Grand Gulf he entrusted to his
batteries, supported by the Third,
Fifth and Sixth Missouri Infantry.
These dispositions were doubtless
justified by the emergency, but
could these scattered troops have
been concentrated at Magnolia
Church. Grant might have been
until confronted by an ar
my as strong as his own.

was IOugnt May I, 1903, between
the Federal Army, commanded by
J Gen. u. S. Grant, and small force
} of Confederates, under Brig. Gen.
John S. Bowen of Missouri. Though
not among the greater battles of
! the war, this engagement was one
of no slight Importance. A defeat
} inflicted upon the Union Army here
] would have saved Vicksburg. there
! by putting new heart into the Con-
! federacy, and altering the entire as
pect of the struggle.
: In January, 1868, few weeks
after Sherman's repulse at Vicks-
burg, Gen Grant took command of
the army on the Mississippi, with
the purpose of renewing the at
tempt on their fortress. Judging
it impracticable to make his ap-
} proach on the north side, he de-
termined to land at Grand Gulf,
} thirty mil below, and attack from
} that direction.
Accordingly, OH April 20, the
feet endeavored to destroy the Cou-
federate works at Grand Gulf,
where Gen. Bowen was in command.
A prolonged cannonade by the gun
boats failed to silence the batteries,
but that night Admiral Porter re-
uewed the bombardment, under
cover of which his transports
lslipped by unharmed. Though un-
able to land here, Gen. Grant had
discovered that at Bruinsburg Plan
tation, ten miles lower down the
river, he might effect a landing,
and this he Immediately proceeded
to do.
THE ADVANCE FROM BRUINsBURG.
The town of Port Gibson, which |
lay upon the line of Grants pro-
jected march, is eleven miles east
of Bruinsburg; but by the only
pracsica5lc soute the distance is
about sixteen miles. The road fol-
lows a toIerable level ridge until,
within FIVE miles of Port Gibson, it
crosses a streamlet called Widows
Creek, and there climbs a long, |
steep hill, into which it has worn
deeply, forming a narrow defle
where resolute troops might check
an enemy fourfold as numerous.
The entire western part of Clai-
borne County, the theatre of the
Federal march, has a remarkably
uneven surface. Originally level,
then deeply sculptured by ancient
erosion, it now presents a bewilder-
ing labyrinth of loamy, fertile hills,
with narrow valleys between. In
his report Gen. Grant said
'It is the most broken country l
ever saw. The whole country is a
series of irregular ridges, divided by
impossible ravines grown up with
heavy timber, underground and
cane"
Early on April 80 the transports
began the work of ferrying the I'm
ion troops from the Louisiana side.
and before the dawn of May 1 the
entire army was ashore at Bruins
burg and on the march. It's numer-
ical strength is not revealed in the
official reports, but 80. 900 to 5000
men of all arms seems fair esti-
