sick headaches, nervousness and bill
iousness much of the time, but when l
went to visit a friend l got in the habit
of drinking Postum.
Il gave up coffee entirely and the re-
suit has been that / have been entire
ly relieved of all my stomach and ner-
vous trouble.
"My mother was just the same way.
We all drink Postum now, and with
out coffee in the house for 2 years, we
are all well.
"a neighbor of mine, a great coffee
drinker, was troubled with pains in
her side for years andowas an invalid.
She was not able to do her work and
could not even mend clothes or do any
thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. If she tried to do a
little hard work she would get such
pains that she would have to lie down
for the rest Of the day.
Eat last / persuaded her to stop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee and she did SO and has used
Postum ver since; the result has been
that she can now do her work, can
sit for a whole day and mend and can
sew on the machine and she never
feels the least bit of pain in her side.
in fact, she has got well and it shows
coffee was the AUS of the whole trou
BILE.
Il could also tell you about several
other neighbors who have been cured
by quitting coffee and using Postum

CIVIL WAR PRISONER DYING.
General Pickett Technically Under
Arrest Forty Years.

Worcester, Mass. General Jn
siah Pickett, IS years old, and a vet
eran of the civil war, is said to be dy-
ing here, technically a military pris-
oner.
He has been under arrest, it is stat
ed ever since the battle of Cold Har-
Dor, and has declared that he will die
under arrest.
Pickett was colonel of the Twenty
fifth Massachusetts during the fighting
at Cold Harbor, and in a fit of anger
replied roughly to General Stannard,
his superior.
The latter promptly placed him I'M
der arrest and took his sword. Later
Pickett was commended by Stannard
for gallantry in the Cold Harbor bat
tie while putting a charge, but the rec
ord of arrest was never changed, and
General Pickett has been officially un-
der arrest for over forty years.

Where Carp Thrive Wonderfully

Three years ago the government
stocked the Verdigris river with red
carp as an experiment. The fish have
grown, and now in this section of
the river it appears that there are
very few fish of any other kind. One
fisherman caught 600 pounds in a
net the other night, and all were
carp except about half a dozen.
The fish, which were very small
when put into the stream, now range
in size from two to six pounds, and a
few have been caught that weighed
IL pounds. The carp have grown
better in the Verdigris than in any
other stream stocked by the govern
ment.
The Verdigris is a muddy stream.
The Arkansas river has too much al
kali in it. and the average mountain
stream of the territory is too clear.
and cold for carp.

and fastened underneath. The three
quarter sleeves hang free at the low
er edge in flowing style and a round
collar completes the neck. Cream
white challis trimmed with a band of
the same material in polka dot design

be used with good results. For &c.

Torpedoes are commonly supposad
to be a means of destroying vessels.
An incident in Algerian waters goes
to show that they can be used to
save ships. Fire broke out in a
British steamer, which was in a fair
way to be destroyed until some one
thought of towing her out into the
roadstead, where she was ~torpedoed
and sunk in shallow water. The
names were promptly eXtinguished,
and as the vessel car easily be raised
it was money in the pockets of the
owners to have her blown UP instead
Of burned up.
