DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble.

So common is the use of coffee as a
beverage. many do not know that it
is the cause of many obscure ails
which are often attributed to other
things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self Is to quit the coffee for while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of new beverage that is
wholesome as we'll as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life,
UP to year and a half ago, 1 had
been coffee drinker. About ten
years ago. had dyspepsia so bad that
often the coffee I drank would sour
on my stomach and could not retain
it.
Severe headaches and heart weak
ness made me feel sometimes as
though were about to die. After
drinking cup or two of hot coffee
not knowing it was harmful. my heart
would go like clock without a
pendulum. At other times it would
almost stop and was so nervous did
not like to be alone.
If / took q walk for exercise, as
soon as I was out of sight of the
house I'd feel as if 1 was sinking and
this would brighten me terribly. MY
limbs would utterly refuse to support
me. and the pity of it all was, l did not
know that coffee was causing the
trouble.
Reading in the papers that mnay
persons were relieved of such ailments
by leaving off coffee and drinking

French engineers have lately made
successful tests of wireless telegraphy
between the lofty observatories on the
CROWN of Mont Plano and the valley
of Chamonix. 1t had been feared that
the absence of moisture in the frozen
surface might interfere with the earth
connection, but no such trouble was ex-
cerienced- The only difficulty arose
when the threatening current dynamos
of the electric light system in Chamo-
nix were at work. At such times the
wireless messages could not be trans

immigration business on the va
rous roads shows a prosperous con-
dillon. The first excursion for the
month of February which came in
this week, brought large number
of prospectors who arc looking at
the country all through the Panhan-
die and eastern New Mexico. Most
OF this business here Is coming over
the Santa Fee but the Rock Island
had an unusually large representa-
ton on this excursion. Four spe-
cial cars OF prospertos from northern
Iowa and Minnesota came in Thurs
day for one concern, the Soash Land
company which is now operating out
of Plalnview. These cars were shift
ed TO the Santa F'e here and went out
as a special train over the Plain
view line Thursday afternoon.
Another feature OF the immigra-
ton business which shows a healthy
condition of affairs is the number
of "zulus" or cars OF immigrant
freight which are being handled BY
all the roads. on the Rock Island
east car after car is being set out
at sldings and unloaded by farmers
who are coming in to improve their
land. The same thing is true on the
Denver south and north and the num-
Der on the Santa Fe is larger than Il
has ever been before. These cars
OF immigrant freight are the surest
indication OF the substantial devel-
opment which is going on all over

from her station in the dining room
rang a bell and the girls hunted up
their partners and talked about the
subjects on the cards--or some 9TH

But all found moro than enough to
talk about and the lady gallants
looked properly reluctant when the
hostess gave signals ending each con-

refreshments OF dee cream, angel food
and fruit cake were served. Mrs
