IT'S DlFFE.,ENT
Since Coffee Left.

A Wisconsin lady says of coffee:
From childhood / had been used to
drinking coffee, and grew very fond of
it.
when in course Of time I began to
suffer from stomach and bowel troubles
with accompanying headaches, pains
in the chest and loss Of appetite and
flesh. I was slow to suspect that coffee
was the cause. My sister, who had
used and knew the virtues of Postum
Food Coffee. persuaded me to try it.
I gave up the old kind of coffee but
with reluctance, thinking that I would
never find hot table drink that
would relish 50 well.
Il was therefore most agreeably sur
priSed to discover that Postum when
propcdly made-thoroughly boiled, was
50 very palatable. 1t proved to be q.
rich, creamy, delicious beverage. sooth-
ing and quoting to the nerves and
heal,hily invigorating. | also found it
nutritious, as the old kind Of coffee
never was.
Postum began to help me from the
very beginning. and l was thus en-
couraged to continue its use. until. I
am happy to say. it landed me safely
in Wellrille, where I have been for
three years and where I propose to re-
main. | find it 4 glorious and happy
place to be in.
Il never before had such good health
as I have now. No trace of my former
ailments remain. have put on weight
until | am almost 'feshy and my COM
pleXiOn has resumed the bloom of my
girlhood days.
My mother lost her life Gas can see
now through coffee drinking. Her all
ments were precisely the same as mine
were, but no one suspected at that time
that they We're due to coffee. and she
continued to use it, her health growing
steadily worse and worse till death nut
an end to her sufferings. If l had only
known then what do now, she might
be living to this day.
MY father was also great coffee
drinker and tobacco user as well, and,
am sorry to say. too fond Of liquor. He
lives with me and have taught him to
drink Postum. with the result that he
uses much less tobacco and has entire
ly lost his appetite for strong drink, to
the great improvement of his health. I
feel most sincerely grateful to the dis
coverer of Postum Food Coffee"

Speaks RatIk Length zen
British Fiscal .Questions'ss
Will Never ConsentIto or'favor
the Protection Policy.
His Idea Is to Make Better Foreign
Market for British. Goods.

London Feb. 12-FOrmer Premier A.
Balfour was the principal speaker at
a banquet given tonight by the Conser-
vativcs of this city of London 10 Sir
Edward Clarke and Alban Gibbs.
Mr.. :aliour, whose speech had been
anticipated with intense interest as his
reply To Joseph Chamberlain's pronun-
ciamento, spoke 1t great length and
combining himself mainly to fiscal
questions. Mr.. BalfOur maintained that
the results of the general election could
not be accepted final verdict
against fiscal reform. He declined to
argue the question Of protection YER
sus free trade. but maintained that the
policy ne has hitherto advocated is al
together apart from the controversy.
Mr. Balfour said his policy was design
ed 50 far as might be to diminish the
burden on British industries, which
policy is hostile to the tariffs other in
dustrial countries have imposed. In
countries where hostile tariffs did not
exist, ii vas the intention TO preserve
neutral markets and at the same time
preserve the interests of the British
colonies on an equal footing. II was, H.

increased foreign market for British,
manufactures. Protection was an at
tempt to keep the home market
against equal competition from foreign
countries.
Mr. Balfour said he viewed the indus
trial conditions in the United Kingdom
with the greatest alarm. He said pos
tries behind tariff walls We're acting
foolishly, but nevertheless they did il
and the result undoubtedly was injur-
ious To the United Kingdom. Mr.. Bal
four asked was il possible to carry out
retaliation unless 4 general tariff
formed a part of the scheme? He de
clined to commit himself on that point;
but he said what the country had to
make its mind to was, is the end at
which we are aiming worth making at
sacrifice for?
The cause Of the tariff reform,
Mr.. Balfour said, must be de-
laycd some years; but in the
meanwhile. il was the duty of
the opposition to the present gov
eminent to point out the mistake of
the latter and direct the country along
the best lines looking to the future of
the country
Continuing, Mr. Balfour said that
never had government been returned
with larger majority without a cause
which 1t wanted TO carry out and with
out any great personality to guide it;
but he was ready to concede the pres
ent government even longer life than
five years.
In conclusion, Mr.. Balfour welcomed
the Workingmen in Parliament, but
said he doubted if the present labor
representation was destined to intro
ducc legislation beno fetal to the coun-
try or which the Unionists could sup
port.

He claims that in giving him the money she only followed out an old Hebrew custom which requires bride to present her husband with a certain amount of worldly goods or their equivalent in cash. Mrs Gill bert having no real estate or goods suitable for the occasion. presented him with the amount of money in dispute. Rosenblatt and his wife were married only last May.

CLOCK ALL OF GLASS.
Bohemian Workman Produces a Working Model After Six Years.

A somewhat futile feat of painstak- ing ingenuity has been accomplished after six years continuous work in the construction of working clock every part of which except the springs is made of glass. The constructor is a Bohemian glass polisher named Joseph Bayer. who lives in Thereseinthal who is now n years old.
 The plates and pillars which form the framework are Of glass and are bolted together with glass crews. The dial plate. hands. shafts. and cog wheels are of glass and glass wedges and pins are ued for fastening the va rious parts of the running gear to- gether.
 All these parts are ground to tho average proportions of the metal parts of other clocks of the same size. The teeth of the cogwheels are cut with minute exactness. Only the balance wheel is heavier and thicker than i. would he in an ordinary clock, hut 1t Is fashioned SO as to properly control the movement of the machine
 Like the clock itself, the key with which 1t Is wound is of glass. The completion of the work was a matter of infinite pains. Some of the parts had to be made over and over again as often as forty times before clock that would go and keep time was pro- duced. The builder sets a price on the finished model of 2,J00 marks. or about S625. Labor is cheap in Bo- hemla.
