PATCHES Why Brown Ones Come on Faces.

When a woman can get rid of brown patches on her face by changing her diet it is worth while for other women who care for their complexions to know something of the method.
 lady in Michigan City says that coffee caused the brown patches on her face by first giving her stomach trou- ble, then putting her nerves out of order. and the result was shown In her complexion.
 She quit coffee and began using Pos- tum Food Coffee and in less than a month the stomach trouble disappeared and within two months her complexion cleared up and is now fine and rosy.
 She speaks of two men at Westfeld, Ind, who have both been improved in health by leaving off coffee and taking in its place Postum Food Coffee, also A husband and wife of the same place, who were In poor health and suffered from stomach trouble. They quit cof- fee and after using Postum short time the result was natural sleep. re- turn of appetite and a gain in strength as fast as nature could rebuild
 She gives the names of a number of other persons who have been helped by leaving off coffee and taking Pos- tum Food Coffee.
 It is a safe proposition that If any coffee user has stomach or nervous trouble. or bad compleS ion, he or shd can get rid of the trouble by discon- inuing coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee. It is easy enough to prove tho truth of this by making trial Read The Road to Wellville." in pkgA '.Thars's 2 Rsasnn-"

 Yesterday Dr. J. S. Glllespy, clerk and register of the city court of Birming- ham addressed the criminal court grand jury now in session. setting forth his income from September g. 1898 to Septem- Der l, 1907 During this period of nine years the gross amount of his fees was s92 496.29. The expenses of the office dur ing that time were s39. .91s.97, leaving a net balance of s52,577.31, or an average net income yearly of $o.S41.92.
 The report was submitted to the grand jury now in session in response to a reso- lution adopted by the grand jury of July, 1906. The grand jury has no authority to force county officials to make public their incomes from fees and the resolu- tion was simply in the nature of re- quest.
 It called not only upon the clerks of courts, but also the sheriff. the probate judge and all other officials of the coun- ty who drew fees as a part of their in- come. Clerk Gnlespy Is so far the only official who has made response Here is the letter to the grand jury:
