A Washington young lady tells her
experience:
Call of us-father, mother. sister and
brother-had used tea and coffee for
many years until finally we all had
stomach troubles more or less.
1--WE were all sallow and troubled
with pimples, bad breath, disagree
able taste in the mouth, and all of us
simply so many bundles of nerves.
1--WE didn't realize that coffee was
the cause of the trouble until one day
we ran out of coffee and went to bor-
row some from neighbor She gave
us some Postum and told US to try
that.
"Altho we started to make it, we
all felt sure we would be sick il we
missed our strong coffee, but we were
forced to try Postum and were sur
prised to find it delicious.
1--WE read the statements on the
package, got more and in a month and
half you wouldn't have known US
We were all able to digest our food
without any trouble, each ones skin
became clear, tongues cleaned off and
nerves in fine condition. We never
use anything now but Postum. There
is nothing like it." Name given by

Special to Times Republican.
iowa Falls. Aug. 20. - Some OF his
neighbor's chickens found in his flock
got T. J. Smith, of this city, in trou-
BILE, and he was forced to answer the
charge Of petty larceny. Mr.. Smith
lives in the northern part of the city
and was charged with augmenting
his chicken yard with specimens from
his neighbors' flocks. After jury trial
Smith was found guilty and fine of
SIS and costs, amounting to $50, was
assessed against him. The charge of
petty larceny and not chicken stealing
was preferred. 1t was shown that the
neighbors who suspected a depletion in
their focks. marked some of their
fowls and chickens so marked were
FOUND with the Smith chickens. 1t
was maintained that the neighbors'
chickens had strayed away from home
and mingled with those of Smiths,
hence the explanation of the mixture.
The jury considered the evidence suf-
ficiently conclusive, however to return
q verdict Of guilty.
