WHAT'S THE UsEa
To Pour in Coffee. When It Acts as a
Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for
many days at q time but no one can go
without sleep. "For long time have
not been sleeping well. often lying
awake for two or three hours during
the night but now sleep sound every
night and wake up refreshed and Wig
orous," says a Calf. woman.
do you know why? It's because !
used to drink coffee but finally cut 1t
out and began using Postum. Twice
since then have drank coffee and
both times passed q sleepless night,
and SO l am doubly convinced coffee
caused the trouble and Postum re-
moved 1t.
my brother was In the habit OF
drinking coffee three times day. He
was troubled with sour stomach and l
would often notice him getting soda
from the can to relieve the distress In
his stomach: lately hardly day
passed without dose Of soda for re-
lief.
Finally he tried cup OF Postum
and liked 1t so well he gave up coffee
and since then has been drinking
Postum in It's place and says he has
not once been troubled with, sour stom-
ach."
Even after this lady's experience
with coffee her brother did not suspect
for time that coffee was causing his
sour stomach. but easily proved 1t.
Coffee is not suspected in thousands
OF cases Just like this but it's easily
proved. A ten days trial works won

AFFLICTED ONLY AT TIMES.
Good Reason for Capt. Bascomb's In
termittent Hearing.

81
! When Capt, Bascomb had left his
old friend, Capt. Somers, and. the new
school teacher sitting on the south
porch, and had disappeared down the
road, the young woman spoke Of him
with some curiosity.
II understand from Mrs. Bascomb
that her husband was very deaf, al
most stone-deaf,' she told me, I'm
sure" said the school teacher. But
he seemed to hear all we said with
perfect ease.,'
Capt. Somers leaned toward her
and spoke In a low, cautious tone, al
though there was no eavesdropper to
hear him.
Don't let Mis- Bascomb know It,"
he said, hurriedly. HE does seem
to hear pretty well when she amt
round, but none of us folks ever let
on to her. She's good woman as
ever lived, but a most tremendous
bosser and an everlastin' talker. An
we all think that Gersh Bascomb be-
gun to realize ten years ago that If
he didn't want to be harried right off'n
the face O. the earth, the thing for
him to do was to grow def, gradual,
but steady--an' he's done It, to all
intents an purposes, ma'am!"
