UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It Often Happens from Coffee

Il had no idea" writes Duluth
man. that it was the coffee had been
drinking all my life that was respon.
sible for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which un-
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me and forthwith bade the harmful
beverage prompt farewell, ordered
in some Postum, and began to use it.
The good effects of the new food
drink were apparent within very
few days. My headaches grew less
frequent, and decreased in violence,
my stomach grew strong and able 10
digest my food without distress OF
any kind, my nervousness has gone,
and l am able to enjoy life with my
neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights.
My physical strength and nerve pow.
or have increased so much that I
can do double the work l used to do,
and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get q hold to build me up again.

Important Movement in Advertising.

The creation of General Advertising
Department for the New York Central
Lines, and the placing in charge Of that
department the veteran railroad adver-
tser, George II. Daniels, who has been
for nearly twenty years the General Pas,
Railroad, marks an era in the history of
advertising IN America.
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an advertis
ing department which covers all the rail
ways in their system, and the far-reachng
consequences of such movement cannot
be appreciated at first sight, but this ac-
tlon on the part of the management Of
these lines emphasizes the value of adver-
tising generally, and forces the conclu-
sion of strong belief in the efficacy Of
railroad advertising in particular.
Some idea of the Importance of this
new department can be had when it is
understood that it will control the gen.
eral advertising in America and in foreign
countries of the New York Central, Bos-
ton and Albany, Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern, Michigan Central, Cleveland,
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, Rut-
land, and Lake Erie and Western railways
and their leased lines, having their west
ern terminals at Chicago, St. Louis and
Cincinnati, and their eastern terminals at
New York, Boston and Montreal, and EN-
bracing more than twelve thousand miles
of the best equipped railways in the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for many years been a
firm believer in newspaper and magazine
advertising, and, therefore, the organiza'
ton of the General Advertising Depart
Ihent of the New York Central Lines is
of importance to every legitimate publica-
ton in America, daily, weekly or monthly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association few years ago,
Mr.. Daniels made the point that the rail-
road is the advance agent of commerce,
and that railway advertising had been of
immense value to American manufac-
turers in calling the attention of the
whole world to the excellent work done
by our inventors and mechanics, as Illus
trated in the Empire State Express, the
Twentieth Century Limited, and other
great trains that connect the east with the
west; the average foreigner arguing that
the men who are able to turn out such
machines must be able to build anything,
and that the farm machinery, and all kinda
of industrial machinery made in Amer
lea, must be of the very best quality. Rail
road advertising has certainly been the
means of bringing thousands of men here
from foreign countries to investigate our
manufactures and has wonderfully in
creased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and maga-
zine publication in America will have a
direct interest in the General Advertising
Department of the New York Central
Lines, and every advertising agent on the
continent will take new lease of life
because of this endorsement of the value
of advertising.

Easy to get, hard to get rid of; that is
what most sufferers think of dyspepsia.
They are astonished when their stomach
begins to trouble them seriously.
They had been eating hurriedly and
irregularly for a long time, to be sure,
but they supposed their stomachs quite
used to'that.
Some people know that the strength
which the weak stomach needs, and for
the lack of which the whole body is suf-
fering, can be found surely and quickly
dreds of instances these pills have sue
ceeded where other remedies failed.
"My Indigestion" said Mr.. j. r. Mil
Ter, of Dayton, Va, "came in the first
place from the fact that few years ago
worked a great deal at night, and ate
at any odd hour whenever the chance
came, and always very hurriedly. One
day found myself victim Of terrible
dyspepsia. 1t kept me miserable all the
time for several years.
Il always had a great deal Of distress
after eating, and when got up from my

it would hardly take any food. had

characteristic of a comparatively new ten
dency toward the adoption of modes hardly
enough remote in source to be classic.
The classic is still with US to some extent
however, and though few women wear the
pronounced Empire modes, Transparent
Empire robes over princess robes are
numerous among the evening gowns, and
the Empire influence has brought about a
decline in petticoats, the rather narrow and
clinging skirt now sharing honors in Paris
with the familiar full and laring skirt.
Just what We are to expect in period in
nuences in the autumn and winter, no one
can safely prophesy at present, for warning
elements are influencing the French fashion
sources and the famous makers are not in
accord, but the leaning toward the modes
of 1850 and earlier is pronounced and has
aut horitative sanction, The extreme classic
is not likely to find any general popularity.
Linens and muslins are attaining new
importance with each day that brings mid
summer nearer and a surprising number Of
pretty models in these materials is offered
ready made. There was a time, not so very
long.agoi when only street costumes and

of the princess frock were entirely Of lace
and above the bust line lace n chiffon
formed most Of the bodice.
Entire sleeves Of lace are to be found in
many of the dressy frocks, the bodice usually
being cut with a deep shoulder line running
out over the top Of the sleeve like a cap.
When the sleeve is not wholly of lace it is
likely to take the form of a very short
draped puff Of the bodice material, reaching
only a little way down the arm and finished
by an elbow sleeve arrangement of lcce and
lingerie or net or mousseline.
Bands and applique motifs Of taffeta
are the trimming most often seen upon the
sheer wolfe frocks; and, often an entire coat
Of the silk is a feature OF the costume, the
coat being, of course, OF the short piquant
type, When this tiny coat is profusely
embroidered in the foundation color or in
shades of the foundation color, with a
mereShint of contrasting color or Of metal,
one has what is Possibly the most chic
expression Of the dressy coat and skirt
costume in sheer wolfe.
The second Of the two gray frocks to
which special reference has been made
here was a good example of this type, and
it's originality wa heightened by the design
of the wolfe, which upon an extremely sheer
ground Of plain light gray shows graduated
stripes Of silky lustrous finish. These
stripes ran from a pin stripe to an eighth OF

rocks, there waa variety enough in design

Perhaps the two snartest frocks Of the
group were an extremely sheer pearly gray
wolfe and q striped gray wolfe In u shade
slightly deeper though still delicate.
There is surprising diversity In the gray
standings. The gamut runs all the way
from such deep tones as smoke to the faint
est Of pearly shades, but some Of the grays
are family dashed with pink, some with
lavender, some with cream. and the result
is an almost infinite number OF nuances
all lovely and all modish.
The creamy grays are the least trying and
the most indulgcnt to a complexion not
beyond reproach, and the woman who must
have her gray gown, but was not designed
by a benefoent Providence for the wearing
Of difficult colors, should look we'll to it that
the gray chosen for her has the creamy tone.
Even then she will II wise relieve the gray
by liberal application of creamy lace near
