THE BULLS HORNS.
That's the Place to Take Hold.

man says:
Some years ago, while employed as
an inspector by a large woven wire
Fence Co, l was compelled to give up
my position because of ill health
brought on by coffee poisoning.
From childhood I had used coffee
freely. and for many years had no
thought that there was possible harm in
it.
But as time went on gradually be-
came the victim of Indigestion, then
of heart trouble, then Of habitual head
aches, and finally was completely
knocked out by nervous prostration,
Which lost me good and profitable job
that l had held for years.
AT first l scarcely knew what to do,
as medicines seemed to have no lasting
effect, but it was up TO me to do some
thing, and l turned my attention to my
diet Having read more or less about
the injurious effects of coffee, I con-
cluded that 1 would experiment to see
whether that was the cause of my
troubles"
AT first 1 cut down my coffee allow
ance half, using Postum for the other
L
Tie some, but did not do what wanted
1t did not relieve me entirely. I still
suffered more or less with headache
ana nervousness. So just took the
bull by the horns and cut the coffee off
snort From the day that began to
drink Postum exclusively my health be-
gan to improve. and / have continued
ITS use. as | expect to do for the rest Of
my life.
The result is that I have not had a
headache in years. no man has better
digestion, my nerves are like iron and
my mental powers are clearer, more
vigorous and accurate than ever before
Shall be glad to testify at any time
that Postum Food Coffee did all this
for me. and keeps me hale and hearty.
l can do no less" Name given by
Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

years fires have been discovered in the
chapel of the church.

in the barn when the roof fell in. The

At BowDo|N.
The Annual College Cat
a|ogue Is Issued.
Shows Every Phase Of College
Life Together With Statistics
Of Work in the Past, the Present and
Plans for the Future.

Brunswick, Me-, Jan. 3.-(SpeciaD.-
The annual college catalogue for the
current year has been received from the
hands of the printers and is now being
distributed among the students and
friends of the college. The catalogue is
similar to that of recent issues, there
being 10 radical departures in either
design or arrangement from that OF
last year.
In the list of the board of overseers
three new names appear. They are
Hon. Clarence Hale, A. NJ, of Portland,
Hon. d. S. Alexander, A. NJ, of Buffalo,
n. Y, and Alfred Edgar Burton, c. E.
of Boston.
In the enrolment of students the cat
alogue shows that there is a slight in
crease over last year, there being a
total of 5GS students in the institutions,
including the Medical school. The inter-
estilS feature in this list is the increase
in the size of the freshman class, there
being total Of So freshmen and 81
special students as compared with 60
freshmen and % special students in
last years catalogue.
Perhaps the most noticeable feature
is the increase of the corps of instruc-
tors in the institution. This years cat
alogue shows a total Of "a names, as
against 43 names in the last catalogue.
The increase in number is confined en-
tirely to the Medical school, there be-
Zig the same number of names in the
academic department.. There are two
professors Oh leave of absence, Prof.
George r. Files of the German depart
ment and Prof. Charles c. Hutchins of
the science department, both Of whom
are in Europe for the year.
The new names appearing in the list
of professors are those of William T..
Foster of the department of English,
aud Allen johnson of the department
of history.
Two new courses are offered in psy-
chology under the instruction of DR..
Burnett. one in comparative and social
psychology and one in abnormal psy-
courses offered in Latin and Greek.
dealing with Latin and Greek litera-
ture in English translation. The for
illcI VI lHCSc COuISSS is given ny fICl
Woodruff and the latter by Prof
HOughtOn.
The new prizes offered embrace the
Alexander prizes of $40 and $40 for eX-
cellence in select defamation. These
prizes will be given in annual contests
and competition will be open to the
three lower classes. Another new prize
is the Philo Sherman Bennett prize Of
ferled by VIM. J. Bryan in the form of
Il fund the proceeds of which are to be
used for the best essay discussing the
principles of free government.
A pleasing fact mentioned in the
new catalogue is the growth of the col
lege library, which shows an increase
from $4,000 to $1,000 volumes since the
last publication.
The new catalogue contains also a
detailed statement of the increased re-
quirements for entrance into the Medi-
Cal school. After 1907 these will in all
respects be on Il level with the require
ments for entrance to the academic
department. while physics and chemis-
try. which are optional for entrance in
to the college, will also, as at present,
be required.
