FEET OUT
She Had Curious Habits.

She Had Curious Habits.
When a person has TO keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because Of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in one way in one person and
in another way in another. In this
case the lady lived in S. Oak. She
says:
L have had to be awake half the
night with my feet and limbs OUT of
the bed On the coolest nights, and felt
afraid TO sleep for fear OF catching
cold. l had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the low
er limbs, and for most Of the time l
have been unable to go to church Or
to lectures because of that awful feel
ing that l must keep on the move.
When il was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused SO many nerv-
Gus diseases, / concluded to drop COT
fee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my troubles was caused by cot
fee drinking.
Il only drank one cup Of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When | quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now / have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound,
peaceful rest.
Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me-"

at once to face the charges against him,
as he has a son at Saluda, N C, who is

laborers and unsupported elsewhere. The
local authorities sincerely did their utmost
to suppress the riot and protect our coun-
trymen. They even went so far as to give
permission to our compatriots to take
measures of self-defense. The sincerity SO
fully evinced of these really worthy local
authorities of our ally in their effort to
protect our rights makes us confident of eff
fecting a satisfactory solution of the de-
plorable situation
