cofseo Kni,ea an Old Soldier.

An old soldier, released from coffee
at Y, recovered his health and tells
about it as follows:
81 stuck to coffee for years, although,
1t. knitted me again and again.
"About eight years ago (as a result
of coffee drinking which congested my
liver,, / was taken with a very severe
attack of malarial fever.
81 would apparently recover and
start about my usual work only to sur-
fer relapse. After this had been re-
peated several times during the year I
was again taken violently ill.
1.-THE doctor said he had carefully
studied my case and it was either quit
coffee or die.' advising me to take
Postum In its place. I had always
thought coffee one Of my dearest
friends, and especially when sick, and
was very. much taken back by the
doctors decision for I hadn't suspected
the coffee drank could possibly cause
my troubles.
~ thought it over for a few minutes
and finally told the doctor would
make the change. Postum was pro-
cured for me the same day and made
according to directions; well, I liked it
and stuck to it and since then have
been a new man. The change in health
began in few days and surprised me.
and now, although I am seyenty-two
years of age, do lots of hard work
and for the past month have been
teaming, driving sixteen miles day.

wagon. That's. what Postum in the
place Of coffee has done for me. now

81 have known people who did not
care for Postum at first, but after hav.
ing Learned to make It properly accord
Ing to directions. they have come to like
it az well as coffee. never miss
chance to praise it." Name given by

A CONGRESSMAN
KILLS HIMSELF
Representative Adams, Prom

His Own Life
BRoODED OVER MONEY MATTERS
Representative Robert Adams, One
Of Houses Most Popular and Con-
spicuous Members, Shoots Himself
to Death.

Washington, Epecial-Representa-
tive Robert Adams, Of Philadelphia,
died at the Emergency Hospital from
the effects of self-inficted bullet
wound. Mr.. Adams was discovered in
a dying condition i'll his apartments at
the Metropolitan Club chambers. He
was sitting in a chair. A bullet wound
in his mouth and pistol lying near
him made it clear that he had at
tempted suicide.
q letter received by Speaker Can
non from Mr.. Adams explained the
cause Of the suicide. Mr.. Adams said
in the letter that his debts exceeded
his resources and forced him to aban-
don his official position. While he
did not indicate an intent to take his
life, he spoke of the form of his
burial, Indicating that he had then
made up his mind to commit the rash
act.
DR.. Nevitt, the coroner, issued a
certificate Of death by suicide, saying
that it was such a clear case no IN
quest would be necessary.
The House Shocked.
Not in years has there come to the
membership Of the lower House Of
Congress such sudden gloom as came
with the going out of Mr.. Adams.
But lately having charge Of thee dip
lomatic and consular bill, he showed
energy and activity, getting the bill
through the House with less friction
than usual, few amendments being
made to the measure.
When the house convened there
was an especially large membership
present and when the chaplain re-
ferred to the death Of the late Con.
gresham, members were visibly af-
fected.
An Unparalleled Scene.
Then came a scene that has never
had its parallel in the historic CHAM
ber of the nations law-maling body
The Speaker rose and asked that The
House indulge him while he read a
letter from the dead, a letter received
while The life Of Robert Adams was
passing away. A silence fell on The
House that but the day before was
surcharged with animation. The let.
| fer was as follows.
"Washington, May 81; 1906.
