ONE IN THREE.
Every Third Person Poisoned BY
Coffee.

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is an absolute poison to al
least one person out of every three, but
people are slowly finding it out, al
though thousands of them suffer ter
ribly before they discover the fact.
a New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee ! became
restless. nervous and excited, 50 that
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffered from loss Of sleep, which go,
worse and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble. and suggested
that | try Postum Food Coffee.
laughed at the thought that coffee hurt
me, but she insisted 50 hard that I fin
ally had some Postum made. I have
been using it in place Of coffee ever
since, for / noticed that all my former
nervousness and irritation disappeared
! began to sleep perfectly, and the Pos
tum tasted as good or better than the
old coffee. so what was the use of
sticking to a beverage that was ruin
ing me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country l remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken Postum. She had gained "a num-
Der of pounds and her former palpita-
ton of the heart, humming in the ears,
trembling of the hands and legs and
other disagreeable feelings had disap-
peared. She recommended me to quit
coffee and take Postum and was very
much surprised to find that I had all
ready made the change.
She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefit from leaving OFF
coffee and taking on Postum Food Cor
fee" There's n Reason" Read ''The

BRONCHIAL TROUBLES.
Readily Yield to Soothing Healing
Treatment of Hyomei.

Bronchial troubles are fpurcly local.
They cannot be helped by stomach dos

ana cured by medicated air alone In
this lies the secret of the great success
Of Hy-o-mei in the treatment of bron-
chial troubles.
The Hy-o-mci medication. laden with
natures remedies, is breathed through
the neat pocket inhaler that comes
with every outfit, reaching every part
Of the bronchial tubes and killing at
once the disease germs. 1t allays all

of the mucous membrane with aston
ism rapidity.
Treatment with sprays, dOuches and
atomizers in bronchial troubles is con-
demned by the best physicians, as they
cause further irritation.
The first breath of Hy-o-meis medi-
Gated air seems to SOothe the infiamma-
flor. stop the cough. and thus relief
soon becomes permanent and Il cure

Hy-o-mei has made many remark

chronic forms of bronchial troubles and
is sold by Bowditch & Webster, Au-

PANIC IN A KANSAS CHURCH.
The Organist Restored Order With
Music When a Pillar Fell.

Just as the Rev. DR.. H. L. Murlin,
president of Baker university, had fin
ished his dedicatory sermon at the
new $4,000 NJ E. church at Salina
and had announced that he had a sur
prise in store for the audience, a pillar
supporting the balcony fell with a
. loud crash. The audience of between
1.5O Oand 1000 persons was thrown
into a panic.
The organist, Mrs. Dowlings Of
Springfield, Mo-, realizing that the
only danger fay in persons being tram
pied in the panic, began to play a
hymn on the pipe organ, and quiet was
restored before anyone was injured.
The falling Of the pillar was caused by
the settling of it's iron base. The re-
suit was that the balcony sagged sew
eral inches in the middle, but the
cost of repair will not be great.
After the audience had been reas
sured the Rev. Murlin sprung the sur
prise which he had promised before
the panic, but nearly half the audience
had left the church. He announced
that $1,000 had been raised upon
which to send the pastor, the Rev. Z.
Nj. Evans, to Palestine.
