WONDERED WHY
Found the Answer Was "Coffee."

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer SO,
and eventually discover that the drug
-caffeine-in coffee is the main cause
of the trouble.
Il was always very fond Of coffee
and drank it every day. I never had
much flesh and often wondered why
l was always so pale, thin and weak.
About five years ago my health
completely broke down and l was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was
in such condition that l could hardly
take sufficient nourishment to sustain
life.
During this time I was drinking
coffee, didn't think could do with
out it.
After awhile 1 came to the con-
clusion that coffee was hurting me,

1T SEEMED INCURABLE
Body Raw with Eczema-Dischargsd
from Hospitals as Hopeless-Cutl-
cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age Of three months until
fifteen years old, my son Owens life
was made intolerable by eczema in it's
worst form. In spite of treatments the
disease gradually spread until nearly
every part of his body was quite raw.
He used to tear himself dreadfully in
his sleep and the agony ne went
through is quite beyond words. The
regimental doctor pronounced the case
hopeless We had him in hospitals
four times and he was pronounced one
Of the worst cases ever admitted.
From each he was discharged as in
durable. We kept trying remedy
after remedy, but had gotten almost
past hoping for a cure. Six months
ago we purchased a set of Cuticura
Remedies. The result was truly mar
velous and to-day he is perfectly cured.

And yet the majority Of the busi-

1t might happen to affect their particu-

to be active; a grocer or a butcher,
passive. Every saloon keeper was an
active partisan of both sides, as could
be readily inferred from the pictures

/" Lincoln at the White House, will

day, evening, November 18th. 1t is ex-
ceptionally powerful. There is an alb
sence of sensationalism yet there is a
distinct flavor of romance to the con-
struction Of the story. The situa-
tions are surprising but natural. The
characters are unique but not exag-
gerated and the play is carried along
more by the story than by the tricks
of the stage. The action of the play
takes place at the White House"
during the action of the civil war.
The company is unnusally excellent
and the scenic effects are very realistic
showing the interior of the White
