Wife Made the Suggestion.

A grocer has excellent opportunity
to know the effects of special foods on
his customers. A Cleveland grocer
has long list of customers that have
been helped in health by leaving off
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: Two years ago l had been
drinking coffee and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning l was
so irritable and upset that l could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served, and then had no appetite for
breakfast and did not feel like attend
ing to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as | was selling so much
Postum there must be some merit in
it and suggested that we try it. l took
home a package and she prepared 1t
according to directions. The result
was very happy one. My nervous
ness gradually disappeared and to-day
/ am all right. l would advise every
one affected in any way with nervous
ness or stomach troubles, to leave of
coffee and use Postum Food Coffee"

ture. While Jack Simpkins remains at
large the life of Orchard is secure. Un-
til the former member of the Western

of liberty permitted him In the state

that Orchard was to be saved 10 give
testimony against Jack Simpkins.
Notwithstanding Governor Goodins's
avowal that no promise of immunity
has ever been made to Orchard, and
the smiling corroboration of this Oft
repeated statement made by the person
most interested himself, there is still
feeling that will not down that the
state will take care of Orchard. This
impression is given strength by the an
nouncement of Senator Borah that Or
