I used to drink coffee, but 1 finally
cut it out and began using Postum
Twice since then I have drank coffee
and both times I passed a ~sleeplesc
night, and GO / am doubly convinced
coffee caused the trouble and Postum
removed 1t.
my brother was In the habit o.
drinking coffee three times a day
He was troubled with sour stomach
and 1 would often notice him getting
soda from the can to relieve the dis
tress in his stomach; lately hardly
day passed without dose of sodi
for relief.
Finally he tried q cup Of Postum
and liked 1t so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking Pos
tum in its place, and says he has no
once been troubled with, sour stom
achs"
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not sus
pect for a time that coffee was caus
ing his sour stomach, but easil,
proved it.
Coffee Is not suspected in thou

easily proved. A ten days tria
works wonders. There's a Reason.

PRIESTS CALM STRIKERS
Removal Of Troops and Police
AyeTts Conflicts in Belfast.
Mr.. Burrell. Irish Secretary, Says TIA
Government is Fully Alive to the
Religious Troubles.

Belfast, Ireland.-An experiment
was tried in the strike of dock La
borers and carriers to prevent a recur-
renee of The rioting in which troops
fired on the mob and killed three per-
sons.
While the city bristled with bayo-
nets all day. it was announced that
the authorities had decided to keep
both the police and troops outside the
disturbed area, the priests having
agreed to look after the people. The
priests declared they could maintain
order more effectively than the sol
diers if the hated "Peelers and Lob
sters," as the police and soldiers are
called, were kept out Of sight.
The troops and police withdrew.
The experiment worked with much
marked success. While there was
much effervescence among the strik-
ers, no actual outbreak took place.
Large and excited crowds collected
and assumed threatening attitudes,
but the exhortations of the priests
and other peacemakers prevailed, and
the streets of Belfast were practically
deserted.
Joseph Devlin, Nationalist mem
Der of the House of Commons for
f! Belfast, assisted the priests in pa
trolling the disturbed area, urging
the people to keep the peace. At the
same time the troopc were held in
readiness in their barracks.
The Belfast Trades Council has en-
rolled a special body of men de-
scribedsas Trade Union Police" who
assisted the priests in preserving or
der. Their efforts were successful.
In the meanwhile Sir Antony Pat.
rick mcdonnell, Under Secretary tt
the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, ha.
been in conference with the local of
feiaIs and the labor leaders with the
i view of arranging a settlement of the
disputed points, and another confer
ence has been held for the same. pur
pose between the master carriers anC
representatives of the men.
London.-When questioned in thu
House Of Commons the Irish Secre
tary, Mr.. Birrell, said:
THE Government is fully alive t.
| the urgency of this matter, and i
doing all it can to secure a settlement
of this most unfortunate strike"
In the trouble at Belfast a cleav
age on religious lines was developed
The Protestants .cheered and sup
ported the troops, while the attack
ing parties apparently were com
posed of Catholics.
It is pointed out that British sol
diers have not been called upon t
fire on British subjects in the Unite
Kingdom since the strike at tn
Featherstone collieries, fourtee
| years ago.

Refections Of a BachelOr.

Gossip is the literature of small
minds and in its most innocent form
is but one degree above falsehood
After a man has made a good rec
ord for himself, it is time enough to
hunt up the pedigree some one has
left him.
There is a great many people who
seem to live on hope, and keep fat
too, there is much economy In this,
and I don't know Of anything cheap
