KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
81 had used coffee. for years and
really did noe exactly believe it was
injuring me although 1 had palpita-
ton of the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and al
most fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both
tea and coffee. using Postum instead
and since that time I have had abb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when l tried
small quantity of coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
to me I must let it alone.
when we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put little bit OF
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full Is min
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
Il have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice" Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients. There's a reason"

One Independence Day we lay a-bump-
ing at the pier,
The town was just rip-roaring till man
could hardly hear:
And Bill Mcguire said to Il really
don't know when
I've felt much as if I'd like to be kid
again.
Most every other Fourth I've been glad
to get to sea
Away from all the noise and say: None
of this thing for me-
To-day, somehow, I'd like to put the Kit
ty the shelf
And buy lot of fireworks and shoot
them off myself
And then he laughed: We'll time is up.
We must get under way.
We've got a German caSe-oil ship to
jackaSS down the bay
She a tall, good-loofing brute and
loaded down so full
Although the tide was fair, you bet she
made the Kitty pull.
A bare ten miles out from the Hook the
light went out of sight
AS if it had been blotted off and things
got black night
And in the open sea ahead that had just
glared with
A streak of lightning hammered down.
1t sounded like gun.
Before my eyes got Strengthened out, they
came down all around,
Each bursting sharply as it struck but
not another sound,
For neither wind thunder came out
of that curtain black
But just those Snakey lights till felt
ShiverS down my back
Then Bill called through the speaking
tube: Say, Jim, 1 guess I've seen
A good deal healthier neighborhood than
near this Kerosene
He'd scarcely said the words before there
came mighty crash
And, 1 turned, the case-oil ship was
flaming like a flash,
The wind the next moment,
a-roaring at our stern,
A kcking flame was at our line and it be-
gan to burn.
Then Bill gave me the bell full speed
and swung all we could rip
Straight at the flame and smoke that
came a-blowing from the ship.
Embers and sparks poured down on us
they fell like fiery snow

Fourth OF July brings to my mind
more vivid recollections than any
other day. l particularly remember
this holiday because it is the birth
day of several members of our family.
and my son was born on that day.
My earliest recollections of the
Fourth, however, center about my
boyhood, which was spent in or near
St. Louis. We were in the country.

mine set off some powder from hole
in log, and so concluded to initiate
the spectacle and sound at the very
first opportunity. After tedious and
hard work the hole was made and the
powder set off with fine effect and
plenty of noise-but the second at
tempt was disastrous. A tiny spark
exploded the powder that l was emp
tying into the hole, and my face and
hands were pitiful evidence of the
celebration for many months.
My greatest celebration of indie

had gone with father, who on the aft
ernoon of July 3 held a conference
with Gen. Pemberton within a few
hundred feet of the confederate lines,
and | was deeply impressed with the
solemnity of it all. But the spectacle
of the surrender on the following day
was a scene that cannot be adequately
described
During the siege there had been a
good deal of friendly sparring be-
tween the soldiers of the two armies
on picket and where the lines were
close together. All confederates were
dubbed ''Johnnies;" all Union troops
called "Yanks." Often Johnny would
call: well, Yank, when are you COM
ing into town." The reply was some
times: I'VE propose to celebrate the
Fourth of July there Sometimes it
would be: I'VE always treat our pris-
oners with kindness and do not want
to hurt them,'' or I'VE are holding
