system and frequently sets up disease in
one or more organs Of the body. il its use
Is persisted in.
Il had heart p~alpitation and nervous
ness for four years and the doctor told
me the trouble was caused by coffee. He
advised me 10 leave it of, but 1 thought
1 could not" writes a Wis. lady.
"On the advice Of a friend l tried Postum
Food Coffee and it 80 satisfied me I did not
care for coffee after a few days trial Of

TO 11s pounds. and the heart trouble left
me-. l have used it a year now and am
stronger than 1 ever was. l can hustle
up stairs without any heart palpitation.
and l am cured OF nervousness.
My children are very fond of Postum
and IL agrees with them. My sister liked
it when she drank it at my house, Vbut not

disapprove, thereby maintaining a greater

FIRE STARTS THEM.
A Flow of Water Turned
Loose That Puts Out
Any Fire.

The new automatic sprinkler sys-
tenn installed in the Mogul Wagon
Works, owned and operated by the
Forbes Mfg. Co., was tested Satur-
day with entire success. 1t is known
as the Niagara Fire Extinguisher
Co., and was erected by L. Bulls.
1t is so arranged that there is a fire
sprinkler head every eight feet
throughout the entire building A
fire in any part of the building,
when the heat reaches 100 degrees,
opens the fire head affected and
starts flow of water, and revolv-
ing, throws water IN every direction
in radius of twenty feet. 1t also
rings an electric bell in the engine
room, showing the location of the
fire. Also gives the engineer an or
portunity to turn in the alarm to the
city fire department. The hydrants
are connected with the city water
works and there is an elevated tank
of 10000 gallons for reserve use.
These systems are very expensive,
but save rs per cent. Of the insur-
ance premiums.
Two tests were made, fires being
started with shavings, which opened
the heads and the flames were imme
diately put out. A number of citi
zens, officials and newspaper repre-
sentatives were present.
The headquarters of the cCmpan,
are Akron, Ohio.

FOUND DEAD IN ALLEY

Spokane, Wash, Aug. 26.-Ida
Peterson is the name OF the woman
found in the rear of Otto A. Weile's
residence, 1918 Ninth avenue, Satur-
day night. Coroner f. p. Witter,
who made a further investigation Of
the case yesterday, said last night:
''Mr. Weile found the body of the
woman out behind his house and it
was he who notified the police. He
knew the girl as a servant of r. X.
Neill, who is now in Alaska with his
family. Mr.. Neill is expected back
soon, and in his absence, Ida Peter
son was left in charge of the house.
She had not been we'll on Saturday
and had sent for a man to water the
lawns, because she was not able to
do it. Saturday afternoon he went
over to Mr.. Weile's house to get one
of his servants to spend the night
with her, there being no one else on
the premises; but none of the other
girls would go, fearing the Peterson
girl. She had been acting strangely,
it is said, and the other girls had no
desire to stay alone with her.
