"COFFEE JAGS"
The Doctor Named Them Correctly.

Some one said Coffee never hurts
anyone" Enquire of your friends and
note their experiences
A Philadelphia woman says:
During the last two or three years |
called coffee jags' and felt like | have
heard men say they feel who have
drank too much rum. 1t nauseatcd me,
and | felt as though there was nothing
but coffee flowing through my veins.
Coffee agreed well enough for a
time, but tor Il number of years
have known that it was doing me great
harm, but. like the rum topper
thought | could not get along without
il. 1t made me nervous disordcred my
digestion, destroyed my sleep and
brought on frequent and very DISTRESS
ing headaches
When | got what the doctor called a
coffee jag on, | would give up drink
ing il for 4 few days till my stomach
regained a little strength, but | was al
ways fretful and worried and nervous
till | was able to resume the use of the
drug.
About year ago l waa persuaded
~ tlS pSNuIi, bul as | got IL IN
restaurants it was nothing but a sloppy
mess, sometimes cold, and always
weak. and of course | didn't like if
Finally l prepared some myself. at
home, following the directions care
fully. and found it delicious. | perse-
vercd i'll its USE quitting the old coffee
entirely, and feeling better and hett,r
each day. till l found at last, to my
great joy, that my ailments had All dis
appeared and my longing for coffee had
come 10 an end.
Il have heretofore suffered intensely
from utter exhaustion. besides the
other ailments and troubles. but this
summer, using Postum. / have felt
fine.' Name given by Postum co.
Battle Crock. Mich.
There's reason.
Restaurant cooks rarely prepare
Postum Coffee properly. They do not
let it boil long enough.

CORPORATION MEETING.
Engine Hall Renamed Weston Hail.
Corporation Affairs Closed.

The last meeting of the Skowhegan
Village Corporation which will ever be
held occurred Monday forenoon in En-
gine hall. 1t lasted just % minutes and
the attendance was small.
Fred +. Lawrence, Esq, was chosen
moderator and George Simpson clerk
The report of the assessors was read by
G. j. Abbey and it was accepted, as was
also the report of the building commit
tee which had in charge the erection of
island
Article was then taken up which
read rs follows: ITO see what action
the corporation will take in regard to
the act Of the Legislature to dissolve
said corporation and the vote of the
vote of the town of Skowhegan relative
to the same" 1t was voted to acquiesce
with the town.
This motion to so do was made by
Lewis Anderson and seconded by Gen.
Isaac Dyer. l.. l.. Walton, Esq, then
moved that f. G. Butler. town agent, be
authorized to deed the property of the
corporation TO the town. This motion
was seconded and carried
Then the question came up of giving
name to the hall in which the meeting
was held. Several weeks ago the mem
berS of the local womens clubs thought
that the rame Engine hall not approp~i-
ate for so nice meeting place and Sug-
gested that it be called Hartwell hall
after j man by that name who lived
where the building now stands num-
Der of years ago. While this name was
not adopted the hall has been alluded t.
since as Hartwell hall.
Il. a. Sawyer urged that it be called
Patten or Weston hall Lewis Ander-
son said that the name Weston was
preferred by him instead of Patten in
asmuch as the Weston family had long
been residents of the island and was one
OF the oldest and most prominent fam
mes Of the town. 1t was unanimously
voted to call it Weston hall.
AS there was no further business to

REPORT TOO LARGE.

President Taylor of the Nation al Ginners' Association says the government report of the amount, of cotton ginned to January h was erroneous, and has cost the cotton growers of the South ten million dollars.
 The discrepancy in the census reports, he says, was caused by the way the instructions were giv- en to the government agents, ask ing them to get from the ginners the amount of cotton ginned to date and the amount they expect, to gin. These agents started on the rounds the 10th of January, and some of them did not finish securing their data until seven days later,
 The ginners, believing that the. aInOuUU Ol cOJUOH diItddS SiuHtds and that which was yet to be ginned, was to be added together for total report, were not careful to give the amount glnned to Jan uary 15, but in many instances gave the agents the number of bales ginned to date when they were approached, say on the 17th or the 23d day of the month. The census report, including all of this cotton. purported to include only that ginned up to the even ing of January 15, and was con- sequently very much too large.
