HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future Of his dear ones. Often
the heart trouble is caused by an I'M
expected thing and can be corrected
if taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:
81 was great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware OF the
injurious effects of the habit till / be-
came a practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretehedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
81 continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till, on applying
for life insurance 1 was rejected on
account of the trouble with my heart.
Then 1 became alarmed. foUId that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly,
so l quit 1t altogether and having
been attracted by the advertisements
of Postum Food Coffee began its use.
THE change in my condition was
remarkable, and it was not long till

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Aug. 14th.-
Mr.. c. L. Smith, painter and decora-
tor, whose home is at 800 Anne street,
this city, makes the following state
ment:
Il was laid up with some kind of
pains. Some said it was Lumbago,
other Sciatica and others again Rheu-
matism. A few of my friends sug-
gested that it was lead poison, but
whatever it was it gave me a great
deal of pain; in fact, almost complete
ly crippled me. l had to use two
canes to walk about, and even then it
was a very painful task.
"A friend advised me to try Dodd's
Kidney Pills and l began the treat
ment. After l had used the first box l
was able to throw away one of the
canes and was considerably improved.
The second box Strengthened me up so
that l could go about free from pain
without any assistance, and very soon
after 1 was completely cured, well and
happy, without a pain or an ache.
Dodd's Kidney Pills seemed to go
right to the spot in my case and they
will always have my greatest praise"

Naminq of Portland.

The Lewis and Clark exposition has
naturally brought out many interest
ing facts in regard to Portland and
the Pacific Coast Not least interest
ing among these is the story of the
naming of Portland. and it also. for
tunately, is in way on exhibition in
the Oregon hotel in the shape of a
big, oldtime copper cent, dated 1885,
the Tipping of which resulted in the
name Portland being chosen as the
name of what is now great city. The
story goes that a man from Maine,
Mr.. Pettygrove, father of the present
owner of the historic penny, and
Mr.. Loveioy, of Massachusetts, who
were the leaders of party of settlers
who sailed UP the Columbia river in
the bark Trenton. in which they had
rounded Cape Horn, came in 1912 to
the present site of the city of Port
land, where they determined to start
a city. Mr.. Lovejoy wanted to name
the new city Boston. but the man
from Maine preferred Portland, and
to decide the matter they tipped
penny. the same now on exhibition.
Naturally, the Bostonian chose heads,
but tails won. and hence 1t is the
Maine, not the Massachusetts, city
which gave its name to the City of
Roses" in which the big exposition

Main Issues Not Considered.

Portsmouth, N. H, Aug. 15.-There
is a rift in the clouds. The prospects
of a successful issue of the Wash

somewhat.
On the face of things both sides are
still as uncompromising as ever upon
the two issues, the struggle over
them being merely postponed. Some
sort of private understanding arrived
at by Baron Kemura and MI White is
limited at, but there is not the slight
est confirmation obtainable. No evil
dence of a change of the uncompro-
missing attitude on the part of Mr..
Witte or Baron Rosen, regarding the
main points. is observable. Neyerthe
less the Japanese who are attached to
the Nippon mission plainly manifest
the citation and some of them private
ly assert that Mr.. Witte would never
have conceded to the discussion of
terms had he not been prepared on
the question of Sakhalin. All this ap-
pears to be largely surmises.
