CRIED EASILY.
Nervous Woman Stopped Coffee and
Quit Other Things.

No better practical proof that coffee
is drug can be required than to note
how the nerves become unstrung in
women who habitually drink it.
The stomach, too, rebels at being
continually drugged with coffee and
tea-they both contain the drug
caffeine. Ask your doctor.
An Ia. woman tells the old story
thus:
Il had used coffee for six years and
was troubled with headaches, nervous
ness and dizziness. In the morning
upon rising l used to belch up sour
fluid regularly.
Often | got so nervous and miser-
able l would cry without the least rea-
son, and 1 noticed my eyesight was
getting poor.
After using Postum a while, OBJ
served the headaches left me and soon
the belching of sour fluid stopped (wa-
ter brash from dyspepsia). l feel de-
cidedly different now, and 1 am con-
vinced that 1T is because 1 stopped
coffee and began to use Postum. can
see better now, my eyes are stronger.
"a friend of mine did not like
Postum but when told her TO make it
like it said on the package, she liked
it all right" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Always boil

Keep Your Blood Pure.

No one can be happy, light-hearted
and healthy with a body full of blood
that cannot do its duty to every part
because of its impurity; therefore, the
first and most important work in hand
is to purify the blood so that every
organ will get the full benefit of a
healthy circulation. There is no rem
edy so good as that old family rem
edy, Brandreth's Pills. Each pill con-
tains one grain of the solid extract of
sarsaparilla blended with two grains
of a combination of pure and mild
vegetable products, making it a blood
purifier unexcelled in character. One
Or two taken every night for awhile
will produce surprising results.
Brandreth's Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugar-coated.

Master of Many Languages.

Gen. Picquart, French minister Of
war, is a sort of Admiral Crichton,
for, besides wide general cultivation,
he reads, writes and speaks Russian,
German and English and Italian. Such
knowledge of language is not common
with Frenchmen, even those of educa-
tion, but Gen. Picquart's facility is ex-
planned, perhaps, by the fact thaat he
is an Alsatian. The Alsatians have
loug been noted in France for the
readiness with which they acquire
languages.

No Advance In Wisdom.

Mark Twain tells how four years
ago he was invited by the University
of Missouri to go out there and receive
the degree of LII. D. At the same time
he visited Hannibal, his boyhood
home. Just as he was about to leave,
being accompanied to the station by a
crowd of citizens, Tom Nash, a school
fellow, came up-white headed, but
still boy. He shook hands with his
friend of many year and nodding
toward the crowd said: People of
this town are the same blamed fools
they always were, amt they, Sam?"

Peru Claims kurokJ.

Gen. Kuroki, the famous Japanese
soldier, has been variously described
as of Polish, Russian and German ex-
traction. Another interesting chap
ter has been added to this genealogical
symposium by an official publication
in the Official Gazette, of Lima, Peru,
which makes the claim, and submits
a plausible statement of facts to prove
it, that Kuroki's father was a Peruvian
patriot whose name was Transito
Charroqui. 1t is also declared that
the generals father was a descendant
of the Incas, who themselves are be-
lieved to have been descendants of an
Asiatic race, SO Kuroki is an atavism
and has come into his own in the land
of his fathers.

Interesting Facts Regarding Its Coffee.

and Wholesale Business.

anu SpuSiSSdlc BUSINESS.
The great wholesale grocery house
of the G. S. Morey Mercantile Companv
in Denver gives special attention to its
coffee trade, having as fine a coffee
roasting plant as there is in the coun-
try, with a roasting capacity of one
hundred and fifty bags of green coffee
a day. Its experiments show that in
the dry climate of Colorado coffee
should not be held too long after roast
ing, and hence all coffee is shipped as
soon as possible after it has been
roasted. The great success this firm
is having with its high-grade package
coffees, such as Solitaire, Yampa. Cap
itol, and many others, is due to the fact
that no expense is spared in keeping
the blends and grades uniform and al
ways up to the standard.
Their coffee expert is one of the very
best in the country and he is in
structed to buy only the best coffees re-
gardless of cost. The constant and i'm
mense increase in their coffee business
shows that this fact is appreciated by
the public.
Another growing branch of its man.
ufacturing business is that of it's Soil
ta1re havoring extracts, for which an
additional story has just been COM
pleted for laboratory use. None but
the very finest of Mexican and Bour-
bon vanilla beans are used for Morey's
Solitaire Vanilla, which is aged at
least twelve months before it is
shipped, and only the best oil of
lemon that can be obtained is al
lowed in Morey's Solitaire Lemon. All
their Solitaire extracts are as good as
any made.
Morey's o. X. Baking Powder, which
will do the work of any cream tartar
powder on the market, but which is it.
self phosphate powder, is another of
the firms popular and staple produc
tions, which is winning favor as being
quite as efficient and more wholesome
than cream tartar powders.
Grinding and packing of high-grade,
absolutely pure spices is another spe-
cialty that is bringing credit to the
firm name.
The company is also a direct impor
ter of teas, in which it does a large
business
The grocery part of the business is
divided into departments each under
the management of a man who has
made study for years of the goods in
his particular line.
From one hundred to one hundred
the time, including thirty statesmen
who cover all of Colorado and parts of
Wyoming, New Mexico Arizona and
Utah regularly.
The company's immense building on
Sixteenth street, near the Union depot,
on the car lines, is one of the most
notable private business buildings in
the city, and shelters an army of en-
ployes. 1t is one of the institutions
that make Denver and stand for Colo
rado enterprise.
The reputation of the house is firmly
founded on the purity and genuine
character of it's products, which are in
every instance fully up to the stand
ard prescribed by the pure food laws,
and all goods under the Solitaire label
are guaranteed absolutely by the pack
: ers or manufacturers.

of my fingers was so bad that the
nail came off. l had often heard of
cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but
had no confidence in them as l had
tried so many remedies, and they all
had failed to cure me. l had seen
three doctors, but got no relief. Final
ly my husband said that we would
try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of
Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles
of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. OF course
l keep Cuticura Soap all the time for
my hands, but the one cako of Soap

cured them. 1t is surely a blessing
