MISS BARTON IN SENATE
MAKES AN ADDRESS.
Tells of Career of Dorrance Atwater Whom Senator
 Hawley Helped.

Hartford, June 4.--Miss Clara Bar ton was invited to address the senate, to-day, and she responded with a short address on the career of Dorrance At water. She was escorted to the chair by the presiding officer by Senators Aborn and Atwater and in thanking the senate for its courtesy, she said this was not the first time she had had the pleasure of speaking to body of Connecticut legislators, for in 1867 she addressed the joint bodies in re- lation to Dorrance Atwater. She said that at that time she had been mak- ing addresses and writing much in her efforts to have MT. Atwater restored to the full rights of citizenship by ap- pealing to the country for assistance in recognizing the services of a brave patriotic man and the fruition of her efforts came through the assistance of Gen. Hawley, and MT. Atwater was relieved of the disgrace put upon him and by vote of congress was given all the rights of citizenship.
 She said it was great honor to her to remove the flag from the everlast- ing memorial to Dorrance Atwater at Terryville on Memorial day. Mir. At water is still alive and a splendid type of citizen and prince in his own country.

DAINTY FOOD
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink.

Our best physicians of the present day seek to cure patients by the use of food, rather than drugs, and this is the true method, for all physicians agree that only from food can the body be rebuilt.
 Many people fail to give their physi- clans credit, for after living on poorly selected or badly cooked food for a long time, perhaps, and when their ail- ments become chronic, they expect the Doctor, with some magic potency, to instantly rebuild them.
 This is not possible. The only true method is to turn as quickly as can be, to proper food. A Cincinnati, o. young lady says: T was variously treated for my nerves; muscles, lungs, etc, but the treatment gave me no relief from my ails.
 Finally, my appetite failed com pletely and l began to have sinking spells similar to fainting. took all manifer of tonics and stimulants, but they were of no effect, I had been brought to quit drinking coffee and taking Postum Food Coffee in it's place, and gradually began to get a little better.

 Shortly after commencing this diet, my wretehed pain in the side was greatly relieved, and now, it has gone entirely, also the sinking spells; in fact, my pale cheeks have changed to pink, I have gained back more than the twenty pounds I lost, and am thoroughly well in every way" Read ''The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.
