When he found that coffee drinking

surgeon conscisntiously gave it up and
this is his story.
For years \ was a coffee. drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could / safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments of pre-
cision? When 1 saw plainly the bed
effects Of coffee, decided to stop ii,
and three years ago i prepared some
Postum, Of which hal received a
sample.
"The first cupful surprised zae. It
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time / gave some Postum TO friend
who was in similar condition to
mine. from the use OF coffee.
"A few days after, / met 1im and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claTing he would never return to cof-
| fee but stick to Postum. We then or
dered full supply and within a short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling. as well as insomnia, disap-
peared, blood circulation became nor.
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
my friend became a Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using it ex-
clusively.
ut would be the fault of the one
who brewed the Postum, IL it did not
taste good when served

Hog Cholera.

The greatest drawback to the hog
industry which breeders in this coun-
try have to contend with is what is
known as "hog cholera" and Swine
plague"
Hog cholera is highly contagious
disease and unless checked is liable
to carry off a great number Of hogs in
a very short time.
Mr.. A. p. Williams, Of Burnetts
Creek, Ind, tells Of an experience
which he had with some hogs that
had the cholera Five years ago."
says Mr.. Williams, 81 was in the en-
ploy Of Mr.. j. d. Richardson, Lafay-
cite, Ind, as his barn foreman. Some
fine hogs that was feeding took the
cholera. gave them Sloans Lini-
ment and did not lose hog. Some
were so bad they would not drink
sweet milk and 1 was compelled to
drench them. have tried it at every
opportunity since and always find it

CHILDREN CREMATED.
Nearly 200 Perish in a Burning
School.

In fire which completely destroyed
the common school building in Col
lingwood. suburb of Cleveland, We'd
nesday, 200 children lost their lives.
The fire was started by an over
heated furnace. The flames quickly
spread, but a panic ensued when the
building filled with smoke and 400
children attempted to escape.
There were but two exits in the
building that were available. One of
these exits was used freely by the pu-
pills, but the other soon became choked
with the children, who madly dashed
for the open air. Those who fell in the
doorway were trampled upon by those
behind, and soon the doorway was i'm
passable.
The frightened and panic-stricken
children turned to escape by windows
and by any other means that could
be found. Escape was cut Off by the
flames which, by this time, had spread
throughout the rooms. The building
was OF brick yet this did not retard
the progress OF the flames.
In a few minutes the lower floor
fell, precipitating scores of children to
the basement, among the burning EN-.
bers.
The scene about the building was
heart-rending. Quickly the news of the
terrible catastrophe spread through.
out the village and hundreds of pa.
rents were crowding about the build.

antagonism on the part of the person

A STUDENTS CONSPIRACY.

Waseca Herald: A most lanentable
combination was recently formed
among some high school boys, mostly
seniors, of Rochester, Owatonna, Wa
SEGA, GAINESVILLE, Watervllle, Faribault,
and Mankato. It seems that the boys
had agreed to furnish to one another
the questions IN such subjects in state
examinations as we're not set to occur
at the same hour throughout the state.
They had begun to carry out this
scheme when 1T was discovered and
stopped. A conference between Super
intendent Pickett, the boys parents
and the guilty boys of our school was
held yesterday. What other penalty
besides that of not having any Of their
papers of this springs examinations
accepted will be meted out to the cul-
prlts has not been decided upon. This
is most so1rowful affair for all inter-
ested IN upright manhood and woman
hood. No doubt, when the boys come
to consider the matter, and realize the
dishonesty Of the act, their better
selves will condemn their own con-
duct, and the experience, though
bitter, will be lesson to them.
