OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN
Armament of Old Craft Was Made to
Last.

A good story is being told at the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all of the smooth
bore kind, and in order that they
might be easily handled for shipment
to the city all sorts of schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder, but
they were unsuccessful.
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full of holes in order to
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges, but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard of them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond, where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again.
The cannon which proved to be so
strong were among the armament of
the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1872

A FRIENDLY GROCER.
Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee.

For about eight years." writes
Mich. woman, Il suffered from nery-
ousness-part of the time down in bed
with nervous prostration.
Sometimes l would get numb and it
would be almost impossible for me to
speak for a spell. At others, 1 would
have severe bilious attacks, and my
heart would fiutter painfully when 1
would walk fast or sweep.
Il have taken enough medicine to
start small drug store, without any
benefit. One evening our grocer was
asking husband how 1 was and he
urged that quit coffee and use
Postum, so he brought home a pkg.
and l made it according to directions
and we were both delighted with it.
$50 we quit coffee altogether and
used only Postum. 1 began to get bet
ter in a months time and look like an
other person, the color came back to
my cheeks, l began to sleep well, my
appetite was good ard I commenced
to take on flesh and become interested
in everything about the house.
Finally was able to do all my own
work without the least sign of my old
trouble. l am SO thankful for the little
book, The Road to Wellville.' 1t has
done me so much good. l haven't
taken medicine of any kind for six
months and don't need any.
"a friend of ours who did not like
Postum as she made it, liked mine.
and when she learned to boil it long
enough, hers was as good as mine.
It's easy If you follow directions"
