DROPPED COFFEE.

A physician OF Wash, ID. c., says Of
his coffee experience:

headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes was
almost frantic. l was sallow, consti-

were often confused.
My wife, In her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills and
urged me to drop it I tried many
times to do so, but was It's slave.

Production Of Precious Stones.

1907 is placed by the geological sur

600 In 1906. This great increase Is due
chiefly to a very large output of sap
phire in Montana, of both the blue and
the v~ariegated variety. The total pro-
%duction of sapphire in the United States
for 1907 is estimated at s22s,soo. Tour
maline is second in Importance. and Is
placed at $84,120. Among other i'm
