DIDN'T BELIEVE
rha. Coffee Wa. the Real Trouble.

Some people founder around and
take everything that's recommended
but finally find that coffee is the reai
cause of their troubles. An Oregon
man says:
For IS years I was troubled with
my stomach. / was a steady coffee
drinker, but didn't suspect that as
the cause. I took almost anything
which someone else had been cured
with but to no good. I was very bad
last summer and could not work at
times.
"on Dec. 2. 1902. was taken so
bad the doctor said could not live
over "a hours at the most, and
made all preparations to die. l could
hardly eat anything. everything dis.
tressed me. and was weak and sick
all over. When in that condition cof-
fee was abandoned and I was put on
Postum. the change in my feelings
came quickly after the drink that was
poisoning me was removed.
1.-THE pain and sickness fell away
from me and began to get well day
by day, SO stuck to 1t until now l
am well and strong again, can eat
heartily, with no headache, heart
trouble or the awful sickness of the
old coffee days. l drink all l wish Of
Postum without any harm and enjoy
1t immensely.
"This seems like strong story.
but 1 would refer you to the First
Natl Bank, the Trust Banking Com
pany, or any merchant of Grants
Pass, Ore. in regard to my standing.
and I will send sworn statement
of this II you wish. You can also use
my name" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Still there are many who persist
emily fool themselves by saying "Cof-
fee don't hurt me-" A ten days trial
of Postum in its place will tell the
truth and many times save lie.
There's a reason"

breaches Simple Life.

Solomon Neva, the prophet OF the
simple life in its EXTREMIST sense. has
arrived in Paris In the hope Of inter-
esting prominent persons in his
scheme of founding sanitarium in
the mountains where he would have
only children as his patients and
would bring them up to live a purely
natural life. Neva lives on raw fruit
and vegetables. never touching eggs,
milk or butter or meat Of any kind.
He does not even drink water and
bathes only about once a year, and
he believes that daily rubbing down
with towel is sufficient to keep the
body clean. He has curious history,
having once been in the Dutch con-
sular service. He lost fortune OF
300. 900 francs In an unsuccessful cof.
fee plantation in Java and since then
has gone about the world in strange
garb, preaching his new doctrine.

Health in Ho, Weather.

Not much meat should be eaten in
hot weather: less food Of any sort Is
needed than in winter. Food has two
functions: rs fuel to sustain heat: as
energy to move the muscles. The ono
need is almost wholly and the other
largely suspended in July. Alcoholic
drinks are doubly dangerous In hot
weather. Iced weak tea is IN excel.
lent drink II one dips out the ice and
throws It away. allowing the liquid
to lose Its chill. Iced water In fami.
lies should be prepared by setting
scaled Jars Of water in the refrigcra.
tor at distance from the ice. never
by putting cracked Ice in the goblets.
4 temperature OF AZ degrees is low
enough for drinking water. Extreme
fatigue should be avoided. but 1t is
not true that ut doesn't pay to get
heated up going out OF town" Young

Of F. w. Cathro and Conductor Wynn,

had been run in connection with the
Great Northern Flyer, which had never
been on branch line before. The

There were no less than thirty six
names on the petition for the charter,
and three more became members Of
the new chapter BY affiliation, which
bids fair for large and thrifty lodge.

"A REAL TREAT.

I was one of the members Of the
party from Bottineau who attended
the presentation of the religious opera
"Saul' at Willow City on March 10
and must say that it was one Of the
best local talent entertainments it has
ever been my pleasure to attend.
The production Of such an entertain
ment is difficult task and how such
perfect harmony, drill, and scenic
effect can be obtained by so large q
company Of young people without
special professional training is a SUR
prise and wonder. Bottineau people
may expect q real treat on the evening
Of April 4th. No one should miss it.
That the opera is given BY people in.
terested in the public schools, without
any financial gain to the members Of
the company, and also from neigh
boring city are facts worthy Of consid-
Grafton but all Of this may be- over
looked BY any one who wishes to at.
tend q first class entertainment. The
value Of the entertainment ID such that
il can stand alone. Further comment
on my part is superfuous, criticism
impossible. Lot as all 60 and hear
s.Saul" and i believe every one will
get value received.

NARROW ESCAPE.

The Imperial elevator in this city
had narrow escape from fire Tuesday
morning. About ten O'Clock smoke
was discovered in the elevator and
upon investigation Agent Blycker found
that the middle bin was on fire. The
alarm was Immediately given and the
fire laddies were soon on hand. On
account of the lack of air the fire did
not make very rapid headway, but be-
ing inisde of the bin it was extremely
hard to get at with water. A major
ity of the people predicted that the
building would 60 up in smoke. But
to the credit of the fire boys they sue
ceeded in putting out the fire with
but very little damage to the elevator.
The origin of the fire was undoubtedly
spontaneous combustion.

A FINE LECTURE.

The following correspondence from
Landa in last weeks issue of the
Souris Republican demonstrates that
the citizens of that thriving little
town appreciate a good thing when
they get it,
"The lecture announced last winter
for Rev. White was at that time sub
stituted with great snow storm and
consequently everybody felt disap-
pointed. That feeling vanished how
ever when they found out that Mr..
White was willing to make up for lost
time and a new arrangement had been
made for March 18th. On said date
the weather man smiled favorably up-
on Landa and surrounding country
and so the man with the small body
and large brain appeared and was
greeted by a good sized audience.
We all expected good lecture but we
can truthfully say that it exceeded
our most daring anticipation. He is
an able speeker and his lecture is full
Of good and sound reason, we'll blended
with humorous remarks, all expressed
in the choicets language. 1t was a
real entertainment Mr.. White is not
hundred dollar man for the simple
reason he refuses money compensation,
but in ability he measures mp with
most of them. He will always find q
welcome in Landa.
