CURIOUS FAMILY.
 Coffee Ruined Them.

A lady writes how coffee treated her family
 "I was born of a headache family" she says; my father, Eng fish by birth loved his roast beef and plum pudding. and every rich dish that could be brought on the table and al ways drank coffee.
 Associated with my earliest mem ories is the picture of my father. at times walking the floor. his head ban daged his fine face drawn with pain. and his eyes rolling in a delirium. He suffered this every few weeks. His brother was similarly afflicted. as was also their sister.
 q have had many ailments, which I can now see where properly chargeable to the coffee drank I am 63 years old. and for the last half of my life have been a sufferer from kidney trou- bles and extreme nervousness often tossing about till or o'clock in the morning. My general health suffered of course. and along with everything else was the constantly recurring agonies of sick headache.
 Loving to live, yet life only a bur- den,
 "A friend urged me to quit coffee and drink Postum Food Coffee. I was 10th to give it up. but at last I made the change. and it soon made a won derful change in me. For two years now I have used Postum Food Coffee; it has brought me sound and refresh ing sleep at night. as when child. have had the headache only twice iu the last year. the kidney trouble is passing away and my flesh has been renewed. I used to eat little or no breakfast-had no appetite Now wake up hungry and enjoy the meal with a relish. l do not tremble ur stagger from dizziness. as formerly. my nervousness is gone. The old fits of depression and despOndency have given way to the enjoyment of life.
 I conclude from my own experience that coffee is a subtle and deadly poi -son, slow but sure in it's harmful re- suits and that it is the cause Of manv disorders in the human sytem.
 "I find Postum Food Coffee. prop erIy made. most delicious. iuvigorat- ing beverage that heals while it uour- ishes. It has cured me. and I'm sure it has added years tO my lfs.- Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek Mich.

 glanced at my watch. had twenty minutes before l had to catch my train.
 , "TH give you ten minutes.r I said.
 Not enough" said Perkins. ''I want a year But I'll take ten minutes on account owe me the rest"
 He turned and beckoned into the hall and small boy appeared carrying a very large glass demijohn. Perkins placed the demijohn on a chair and stood back gazing at il admiringly.
 Great isn't it?" he asked. Biggest demijohn made. Heavy as lead, Fine shape fine size. But. say-read that"
 I bent down and read. The label said: "Onotowatishika Water. Bot tied at the Spring. Perkins & Co.,, Glaubus, Iowa"
 l began spelling out the name by syllables. "O-no-to- wat" when Per Ilins clapped me on the back.
 Great. heyo Can't pronUonce it? Nobody can. Great idea. Got old Hunyadi Janos water knocked into a cooked hat Hardest mineral water name on earth. Who invented it? l did. Perkins of Portland. There's money in that name. Dead loads of money. Everybody that can't pro- nounce it will want it. and nobody can pronounce ft-everybody'H want it. Must have it. Will weep for it. But that isn't the best"
 .'No?~ l inquired
 "No," shouted Perkins. "I should say noi" Look at that bottle. Look at the size of it. Awful. isn't it? Stag gers the brain Of man to think of car wing that across the continents, Ma turc recoils. the muscles ache. It is vast. it is immOvable, it is mighty. Say"
 Perkins grasped me by the coat sleeve and drew me toward him. He whispered eXcitedly.
 Great idea, O-nO-to-what-you- may-call-it water Big jug full. Jug to blamed big. Yes? Freight too much. Yes? Listen-Perkins Pays the Freight"
 He sat down suddenly and beamed upon me joyfully.
 The advertising possibilities of the thing impressed me immediately. Who could resist the temptation of getting such a monstrous package of glass ware by freight free of charge? l saw the effect of a life-sized reproduction of the bottle on the billboards with "Perkins Pays the Freight" beneath 1t in red. and the long name in semi circle of yellow letters above it. l saw il reduced to the magazine pages, in street cars-eVerywhere.
 "Great?" queried Perkins.
 'Yes." I admitted thoughtfully, 'it is great"
 He was at my side in an instant.
 Wonderful effect of difficulty over come on a human mind," he bubbled. "Take precipice. People look over, shudder. turn ;way. Put in shoot the-chutes. People fight to get the next turn to slide down. Same idea. People don't want O-no-tO-thing-um bob water. Hold on Perkins pays the freight" All right, send us a demi- john."
 saw that Perkins was, as usual tight.
 "Very we'll" I said. what do you want me to do about it?'
 Perkins wanted year of my time and all the money I could spare. He mentioned s2O.O0G as little beginning "a sort of starter. as he put it. l had faith in Perkins. out S2O,O00 was a large sum to put into a thing on the strength of a name and pphrase. l settled myself in my chair and Perkins put his feet on my desk.

 And it did.
 AS We passed out of the town lim- it's. we heard the Grand Rapids Rheu- matic Club proclaiming in union that Perkins Was-
 First in peace, First in war!
 "Fi,st in the hearts of his country men."
 But that was before they visited their real estate holdings.

G. Obear, inspector general OF the
State troops, has retired flom the
race for the position of brigader gen
eral unde: the new law, leaving only
Colonel Clifford L. Anderson of the
Fifth infantry, Atlanta as a candi-

This simplifies til mater aud so
far as known, Colonel Anderson will
not be opposed.
There was at one time some talk
of. opposition from Savannah, it be-
ing thought Colonel G. a Gordon of
the First infantry would get into the
running, but he recently announced
his intention of supporting Colonel
Anderson.
Col. Obear is to be appointed by

THE WAVE Is SPREADING.

Incredible as it may seem the cause
of temperance is making sufficient
Roadway up in Pennsylvania to wor-
ry the liquor interests.
The agitation in the South must be
having a general effect, judging from
the reports that come from other
sections as to a revival of interest in
plans intended to curtail the con-
sumption of liquors by throwing ad-
ditional restrictions about their sale.
The other day the State Federation
of Retail Liquor Dealers met at the
capital of Pennsylvania. The most
important thing that was done was to
decide to adopt the educational meth
DDS of the ants, Stirring speeches
were made and resolutions adopted
providing for the creation of a senti-
ment against local option as well as
to fight legislative candidates known
to favor such a law
A literary bureau was ordered es-
tablished and State organizer pro-
yided for to form local declarations.
The claim was made that the local
option movement was, but the prelim-
mary step to total prohibition. AS
one brewer called it nothing but
prohibition in disguise" No secret
was made of the fear that the Penn
sylyania legislature may attempt tc
pass & local option bill. The legis-
lator who votes for such bill is tC
be made a marked man so far as the
liquor interests can affect his politi.
cal fortunes
1t is a long cry from Georgia t.
Pennsylvania. 1t would not be sur
prising, though, if, before long, thu
old cry of the Macedonians was hear(
and there were calls from the Key
stone State to the Empire State o
the South to come over and hell
u.s." Just as the prohi speakers
Wright of Rome, Ainsworth, of Sava
nah, and others, have been cheerin!
on the prohis by their speeches il
Florida, so we may soon expect then
to invade the land of Penn
Yet who would have thought it
year ago.

Savannah has just been bought by
Harry K. Weed and associates of
that city. 1t is said to be their pur-
pose to hold the island as a game pre-
serve and to erect a winter tourist
hotel thereon.
The island was purchased from
several interests, as it has noI for
one hundred years been under sin
gle ownership until the present pur-
chasers secured it. Deer abound on
Ossabaw. It's Businesses are in places
almost impenetrable and have proven
excellent breeding places for the ami
mails. Parties going from Americas
to hunt have secured as many as
twelve deer in three days.
