Coffee Acts the Jonah and viii Come mp.

A clergyman who pursues his no BILE
calling in a country parish In Iowa tells
Of his coffee experiences:
my wife and used coffee regu larly
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 1895 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 second time by the vomit-
ing. I was away from home filling an ap-
pointment at the time. and on my return
l found her very low; she mad literally
vomited herself almost to death. and 1t
took some days to quiet the trouble and
restore her stomach.
Il had also experienced the same trouble,
but not 81 violently, and had relieved It,,
each time by resort to medicine.
"But my wifes second attack satisfied
me that the use OF coffee was at the bottom
of our troubles, and 30 we stopped it forth
with and took on Postum Food Coffee
The old symptoms Of disease disappeared
and during the years that we have been
using Postum instead Of coffee we have
never had a recurrence Of the vomiting.
We never weary Of Postum. to which we
know we owe 9dr good health. This Is a

Wage Workers viii BE Disastrous.
WARRINGTON, Aug. TN an address
before large public meeting at Frank
fort on the Main, Mr.. Bernstein, member
OF the German National House Of Repre-
sentatives, declared that the new German
commercial treaties will have a very in
furious effect on German exports and manu-
featuring trade. A portion Of what Mr.
Bernstein said has been sent to the State
Department through the consular service.
According to Mr.. Bernsteins views the
working class will suffer In particular, as
their chances Of employment will be dimin-
ished by the transfer. OF manufacturing
institutions from Germany to other coun-
tries on account Of the increased duties
rangements.
Reduction OF tho wage scale, increase
in the cost Of living, consequent diminution
Of consumption and lack OF employment
are the results predicted by Mr.. Bernstein
after the treaties have gone into effect.
He cited figures also to show that the In
creased cost Of bread for q family Of five
a heavy burden, Is said, when the low
wages and the prospectively reduced earn
ings Of tho German laboring people are
considered
Mr. Bernstein also spoke In favor Of a
now commercial treaty with the United
States and deprecated the bringing on Of
q. tariff war. We cannot. however, force
them to do So he said, in speaking Of an
effort to make a treaty with this country;
States would b assuming fearful re-
sponsibility, even when account is taken
