"COFFEE JkGS."
The Doctor Named Them Correctly.

Some one said Coffee never hurts anyone" Inquire of your friends and note their experiences.
 A Phtla woman says:
 During the last or years 1 be- came subject to what the doctor called coffee jags' and felt like I have heard men say they feel who have drank too much rum. It nauseated me, and felt as though there was nothing but coffee flow ing through my veins.
 Coffee agreed we'll enough for a time, but for a number of years I have known that it was doing me great harm, but. like the rum toper, thought l could not get along with out it. IL made me nervous. disor- dered my digestion, destroyed my sleep and brought on frequent and very distressing headaches.
 When I got what the doctor called q coffee jag on, I would give up drinking it for few days till my stomach regained little strength, but was always fretful and worried and nervous till was able to resume the use of the drug
 About a year ago I was persuaded to try Postum, but as got il in res. taurants it was nothing but sloppy mess, sometimes cold. and always weak. and Of course didn't like it. Finally I prepared some myself, at home, following the directions care fully, and found it delicious. I per. severed in its use. quitting the old coffee entirely. and feeling better and better each day. till I found at last. to my great joy, that my ailments had all disappeared and my longing for coffee had come to an end.
 "I have heretofore suffered intense ly from utter exhaustion, besides the other ailments and troubles. but this summer, using Postum, have felt fine" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek. Mich.
 There's reason.
 Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Postum Coffee properly. They do not let it boil long enough.

Rev. Sam Jones, the well-known
evangelist, died of heart failure last
Monday in a sleeping car while on his
way from Oklahoma City, where he
had been conducting a successful
meeting to his home in Gainesville,
Ga, to attend family reunion. In
noting his death no one need be told
who he was'and the position he held
in the religious world. For a decade
no man has been more on the tongues
of men, women and children than
that of Sam Jones, and while con-
demned by some for the way in which
he has presented his views, no one in
his day has conducted meetings with
greater results. Hundreds went to
hear him from curiosity and to scott,
who under his preaching made pro
fession of faith and were received into
the church. He was a great preacher
and the Christian people of the whole
country learn with sorrow that his
career of usefulness has ended so soon

In recent letter G. Julian Pratt,
superintendent of exhibits at James
town Exposition, says; "There can
be no doubt either as to the necessity
or the advantage of every county in
the State profiting by this golden OPP
portunity to exploit its resources, and
advertise to the world its inducements
for investment. Thirteen counties
have made appropriations for this
purpose. When county does not
make a specific appropriation, the
public spirit of its citizens, co-operat-
ing with this commission, can secure
a fine exhibit of it's resources and it
will cost them nothing but the effort,
as we will receive and install their ex-
hibit without expense to them and
see that they are represented"
1t will thus be seen that if the boarC
of supervisors of county does moi
see fit to act, public spirited citizens
can do much to advertise their coun
