DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum

A physician Of Wash, d. c., says Of
his coffee experience:
For years suffered with periodical
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes I was
almost frantic. was sallow, consti.
pated, irritable, sleepless; my men,
ory was poor, trembled and my
thoughts were often confused.
my wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. tried many
times to do SO, but was it's slave.
Finally Wife bought q package OF
Postum, and persuaded me to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and was Disguised with the taste.
Il make this emphatic because fear
many others have had the same expe-
nence.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the d.
rections, made It right, boiled it full
is minutes after boiling commenced,
and with good cream and sugar,
liked tit invigorated and seemed to
nourish me.
"This was about q year ago. Now
have no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my head steady.
have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am q
new man.
II do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was tho main thing, but had dropped
It before. using chocolate, cocoa and
other things, to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act az
an invigorant, but a. an article Of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This ID no
Imaginary tale. It can be substanti.
ated BY my wife and her sister. who
both changed to Postum and are

with the lower class of lodging houses.
Murder, robbery and assault are COM
paratively common in these resorts.
To gain any definite information in
such case the detective as a rule
must not only work inside the house,
but must remain there absolutely free
from suspicion often for days at a
time. For such work the detective as.
sumes the disguise of a tough down on
his luck. preferably from out of town.
The most successful disguise for
such work, however, is that of the

youth was in turn a gardener, a por-

enabled him to buy bread. till after
15 years of a hand.to-mouth struggle
he returned to his native village Of
Breval, near Nantes. and was taken
in by a charitable person. In vain
he sought for work. and he contracted
some unavoidable small debts.
The other morning an imperative
knocking at the door announced the
emissaries of the law. The wretched
Lemercier barricaded himself in and
then hanged himself. When q lock
