AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market years ago knows from ex-
perience the necessity Of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market 1 was suffer-
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So l continued
its use and very soon it's beneficial eff
fects convinced me of its value, for
pepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. I persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
we soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make long story short our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely sat-
isfying results, as shown in our fine
condition of health and we have no.

ing a rule of the department, but what
is a rule of the department compared
with a rule of the household? He
wanted to learn the habits and meth
DDS of the gang and do the planning
himself, well knowing this assumption
of responsibility would be overlooked
if he were successful. When everything
was in readiness, he outlined his plan
to his captain, ant asked for aid in
making the raid.
"'Tis a desp'rit crowd he said.

Veterans Rapidly Passing Away.

Veterans of the civil war are dying
now at the rate of 100 a day, accord
ing to records of the United States
pension Office. The monthly reports
for several months past have shown
the death rate among the old soldiers
to be in the neighborhood of 5000 a
month. Pension Office officials who
have watched the figures closely and
know the tendency of the death rate
are of the opinion that the number of
civil war pensioners has reached the
maximum and that hereafter each
succeeding month will show q de-
crease.

Mr.. Bryan and his supporters. But
many shrewd politicians who have
spent years in the harness are OF the
opinion that the Bryanites must be
very careful for the future. The belief
is expressed that the boom has ma
tured too early, that its growth has
been forced and that the inevitable re-
action is bound to set in long before
the next presidential election. An
other obstacle to success that is point
ed out by these critics is the fact that
two years must elapse before the cleo
ton and that this is altogether too
long a period for a candidate to stand
in the fierce limelight that will beat
around Mr.. Bryan. His every word
and action will be caught upon by the
opposition and the first false step may
be fatal to his aspirations.
But these dire forebodings are not
worrying the Bryanites just now.
Even those who bitterly opposed the
Nebraskan in 1896 and 1900 are now
falling over one another to offer him
their support In states where the
Democrats are hopelessly split into
rival factions, as is the case in Massa-
chusetts at the present time, it is in
teresting to note that each faction is
claiming the right to send representa-
tives to the Bryan welcome. With
bands playing and banners flying the
Democratic cohorts are coming to
town from forty-six states and terri
tories. The vanguard will reach the
city within the next two or three
days. The main body will be on hand
by Tuesday of next week. Tammany
Hall is preparing to act as host and
will keep open house the entire week
for the visitors The Democratic
headquarters at the Hoffman House
will also serve as a popular rendez-
vous for those prominent in the Dem
ocratic ranks.

SUMMER cATARRH.
Hot Weather Seems to Have Bad Ef
feet Upon Some People.

1t is generally recognized by pnysi-
clans that many people suffer more
with catarrh during the summer than
in the winter The hot, dry weather
and the change from the hot days to
COO. nights seems to have a bad effect
upon the disease.
Even after the usual methods of
treating catarrh have been unsuccess-
full, Bratton Drug Co. guarantee that
they will refund the money if Hyomci
fails to cure the disease. This seems
SO fair and reasonable that it should
induce all catarrh sufferers to take
the treatment.
In many instances Hyomei has
cured catarh when the patient has
suffered since childhood. Quite a num-
Der of people in Palestine who for
years have been unable to get good
nights sleep on account of the dis
agreeable tickling and dropping at the
back of the throat, have obtained
quick relief from a few treatments Of
Hyomei and the continued use has
made a complete and lasting cure.
There is no stomach dosing when
one uses Hyomei Simply breathe its
medicated air through the pocket in
haler that comes in every outfit and
all germs will be killed and the mu-
cous membrane will be healed.
The complete outfit costs 800. eX-

tain that the crowd of visitors will be
something enormous. Many are COM

planned by the Nebraskan's friends

1904. If this be true even the Repub
licans cannot deny that the plans
were well laid.
Mr. Bryan arrives home to find that
he is practically the only man talked
of for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Six months ago Mayor
