REPRESENTATIVE PEARRE

Criticism of County
Politics.

CUMBERLAND, Md, Sept. u--Con-
gresham George A. Pearre was yester-
dav afternoon knocked down IN the
street by Capt J. Phillip Roman, who
landed a heavy blow on the Congress
mans jaw, which drew blood
The fight was one of The results OF

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 compilations to know
something Of the method.
A lady in Michigan City says that
coffee caused the brown patches on her
face by first giving her stomach trou-
BILE. then putting her nerves out Of or
Ger, 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 WeStfcld,
Ind. who have both been improved in
health by leaving off coffee and taking
I'm its place Postum Food Coffee, also
husband ard wife of the same place.
VINO were in poor health and suffered
from stomach trouble. They quit cof-
fee and after using Postum a short time
the result was natural sleep, return Of
appetite, and a gain in strength as fas'
as nature could rebuild.
Sh, gives the names OF a number OF
other persons who have been helped by
( leaving of coffee and taking Postum
/ Food Coffee.
II is a safe proposition that If any
/ coffee user has stomach or nervous
| trouble, or bad complexion. he OF she
can get rid of the trouble by dlscontip-
I uing coffee and taking Postum Food
I Coffee. It is easy enough to prove the
truth OF this by making trial. Read
