Please remember we never say orti.-
nary coffee hurts every one.
Some people use it regularly and
seem strong enough to Withstand its
attacks, but there is misery and dis
ease in store for the man or woman
who persists in it's use when nature
protests, by heart weakness, stomach
and bowel troubles, kidney disease,
weak eyes, or general nervous prostra-
ton. The remedy is obvious. The drug
caffeine contained in all ordinary cot
fee, must be discontinued absolutely or
the disease will continue in spite OF
any medicine and will grow worse.
1t is easy to leave off the old-fashion-
ed coffee by adopting Postum Food
Coffee for in it one finds pleasing hot

a rich golden brown when good cream
is added. When boiled long enough Ii

up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely de-
pend upon some measure OF relief ny

II the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea

of the trouble is removed and the celu-

Indian Territory, 225 miles, and be

The government has encouraged white
men TO marry squaw wives by giving
them the property benefits of such re-

about it: the white people roundabout
smile and keep stil. They know there
are no Indians to use that big estab-

Indian affairs have been of unusual
interest in Washington this winter be-
cause of the approaching dissolution of
the tribal relations of the wealthy
tribes OF Indian Territory. The future
of these Indians is a matter of great
concern throughout the southwest.
They have been allowed no opportunity
to equip themselves with experience"
and business knowledge for compcti-
tion with the White man.

They are soon to be turned out to
hustle for themselves. Many are pre-

they fear that the government Will treat
them as it has the kickapoos of Mex

dian department wants to force them
to return to this country, and this they
will not do.
Meanwhile there is n great fight in

Washington on business with the GOV

To be self-respecting citizen, the In

looking after his business. the United
States Indian has been ruined. Today
the Indians in the territory want to
leave the country and go to Mexico,
and they will be found doing it Just
as fast as they can after the tribal re-
lttions are ended. Some of the tribes
are now divided between the territory
and Mexico, and in every case the
branch that is in this country is anx-
