COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish a Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum lately, so much
in fact that some of the coffee import
ers and roasters have taken to type
to promote the sale of their wares
and check if possible the rapid growth
of the use of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book chap
ter is headed Coffee as Medicine"
and advocates its use as such.
Here is an admission of the truth,
most important to all interested.
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any medicine" of the
drug-stimulant type of coffee or whis-
ky quickly causes irritation of the
tissues and organs stimulated and
finally sets up disease in the great
majority of cases if persisted in. 1t
may show in any one of the many
organs of the body and in the great
majority of cases can be directly
traced to coffee in a most unmistak-
able way by leaving OF the active ir-
ritant-coffee-and using Postum
Food Coffee for matter of ten days.
II the result is relief from nervous
trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
hSart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by a poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with
the accuracy of demonstration in
mathematics.
There's reason" for Postum.

THE GREAT SANDTOWN TURKEY THEFT
A Story of Mean Man, and Mean Deed That Was
Its DUN RetDdrd

twisting and turning, till Noah was
nearly dead and only his great mean
ness kept him going.
At last, scratched and bruised and
full of mud, weary and suffering, he
fell into deep mudhole, which,
strangely enough, had been avoided
cleverly by poor but honest Bill.
"Never mind" whispered Bill, help
ing him up, I'VE have arrived"
Noah looked through the under
brush. but he could see nothing ex-
cept black mass OF something in the
darkness.
Those are the BARNS" said Bill.
Here, take this saw and saw holes
into the walls there and I will creep
around the other way and scare the
turkeys so they will come out"
Noah, madden and meaner than
ever, worked hard and sawed big
holes, out of which the turkeys scut-
tied Then, as Bill scared them up,
off they flew into the woods until the
whole big flock had vanished.
AS soon as the last one had gone,
poor but honest Bill seized Noah and
said: 1--WE must hurry back and we
must go the same way we came"
ooh, dear, oh, dear" groaned Noah.

Women at strenuous Tasks.

On the western coast of the United
States, at Monterey, Cal, Mrs. Fish
keeps the lamps lighted in the Point
Pinas lighthouse. On the eastern
coast, at South Portland, Me-, Mrs.
Gordon earns her living by working
as deep-sea diver. Sprinkled over
the country between these two wom-
en- are thousands of other members
of the female sex who deserve to be
enrolled as auxiliaries to Mr.. Kip
ling's corps of "Unafraid Gentle
men," And then, from the woman in
Utah who is sheriff and hangs muir
derers, to the woman in Chicago who
bosses a gang of Italian street clean
ers, he tells the role of women who
are engaged in strenuous occupations
In the United States. Wherever man
has tried to wrest living from I'M
willing nature there woman has also

me tonight we can cut holes into his
turkey houses and let all his birds fly
into the woods. He will be quite I'M
able to catch them again in time for
shipment and the people in the city
will be glad to pay you high prices
for yours"
The poor man, whose name was
Bill Lego, made believe to agree
with the mean man. But really he did
not agree with him at all, for he
came of poor but honest parents, and
was very much like them himself. So
he devised cunning plan.
That night he went to Noah's house
and said to him: Let us go to do this
deed But we will have to go into the
woods just behind your house and
work around through them for sew
eral miles, so as to approach the dea-
cons place through the underbrush in
the back. 1t would never do for us
to be SEEN"
THAT is a good idea," said Noah.
But l do not know the way through
the woods"
Il will guide you," said poor but
honest Bill. Il fear, however, that
you will find it rough going, for we
cannot dare to carry a lantern"
He took hold of Noah's arm and of
they went, up and down and in and
out, through thick and thin and thorn
and swamp, this way and that way,

lives, SO to speak, and marks the pass
age of years perhaps even more dis
tinctly than New Years day or birth
days. For Thanksgiving is pre-emi-
nently the festival of home, the day of
all others when home ties and associa-
tons assert their sway the strongest,
linking the present with the past and
binding all to the future. All who are
happy enough to have a home and
hearth turn gladly to 1t for rest and
Tefreshment of body and mind, and,
whether present or absent from the
home circle, that is the center and in
spiration of their thoughts.
Perhaps to none is the day more full
of associations and memories than to
those who cannot thus join the home
circle. The toiler In the city or in the
country, unable even for day to quit
his duties, still takes pleasure in
thinking of those at home, and in i'm
agination, at least, takes his place at
the annual home gathering and shares
the pleasure OF the day.

But he followed, and once more he
was dragged through mudholes and
creeks and over stumps and rocks
until his shins and nose were skinned
and every part of him was sore.
At last they emerged on road and
in few moments they were at No.

ried to bed.
The next morning ke could hardly
get up, because he was so sore. But
he crawled QUITO feed his turkeys.
When he got to the barnyard, his

picion entered his mind. He limped
as fast as he could to the back, and,
sure enough, there he found great
holes in the walls of the houses.

right down in the mud THAT vii

He was quite right.

the house, carting his so turkeys to
the town, Noah Wamskittle shook his

heard of it.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1906-11-23

Noah Wamskittle was a mean man;
one of those mean people who hate to
see others prosperous, even though 1t
does not interfere with them at all.
He lived in Sandtown and raised
turkeys, like everybody else. He
earned lot of money, because he fat
tened his turkeys well. 1t was his
only generous deed, for he begrud ged
even the food that he gave himself,
and as for othersi Well, Deacon Van

skittle was so mean that he would
walk three miles to borrow q match
rather than use one of his own to
light hie fire in the morning.
Noah Wamskittle did not like Dea-
con Vandertassel at all, and he liked
him even less after he heard this.
So some days before Thanksgiving
day, he went to poor man in Sand
town and said to him:
You know that we will all have to
ship our turkeys tomorrow. Now,
you have only so and if you do not
get good price for them you will be
hard pressed for money this winter.

prices higher for you. If you will go

THE FESTIVAL OF HOME.
Thanksgiving Prominently the Day
of Family Gatherings.

The good old New England festival
of Thanksgiving is one that age does
not wither nor custom stale. Original
ly, and still nominally, a distinctly
religious festival, it appeals to all,
whether old or young, whether pro-
fessedly religious or not, and what
ever may be their religious belief or
convictions.
To college boys and football teams
the day may seem to be of special sig
nificance in reference to triumphs or
disasters on the gridiron field, but
even to these it carries another and
deeper significance which will grow
with the years. And to those of ma
ture years, men and women past 40,
for example, this gracious, time-hon-
ored festival serves to punctuate their

While no woman is entirety free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan of nature that women
should suffer so severely. This is a
severe strain on a woman's vitality.
When pain exists something is wrong
which should be set right or it will
lead to serious arrangement of the
whole female organism.
Thousands of women have testified

Treatment of Habitual Criminals.

The New Zealand minister for JUS
tice has introduced the habitual GRIM
inals and offenders bill, which pro-
vides that where person has been
twice convicted of a criminal assault
or four times of wounding, robbery or
burglary, he may be regarded as an
habitual criminal and at the expira-
ton of his sentence detained in re-
formatory.
After six convictions for vagrancy a
man may be treated in the same way.
Discharge from the reformatory will
be secured only on the recommends
ton of the court, while the detained
offenders will be made to work and
wages will be placed to their credit
or toward the support of their depend
ents.

A WeII.known Remedy.

One of the Oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity of the blood.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Such testimony should be accepted
by all women as convincing evidence
that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

In deciding the suit brought on sanl'

sewage from Lake Michigan, the natural
outlet, to the Illinois and Mississippi
rivers the United States Supreme Court
holds that Missouri had not proved its

the proof would be sufficient ground for
the injunction sought. Should disease
be traced to the sewage, and the facts
established, Chicago will hear again
