DROPPED COFFEE Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

physician of Wash, D. C., says of his coffee experience:
 For years I suffered with period ical headaches which grew more ire quent until they became almost con- stant. So severe were they some times I was almost frantic. I was .sallow. constipated. irritable sleep less; my memory was poor, I trem- bled and my thoughts 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
 Finally wife bought a package of Postum and persuaded me to try it. but she made it same as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. q make this emphatic be- cause I fear many others have had the same experience.) She was dis tressed at her failure and we care fully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it-it in vigorated and seemed to nourish me.
 That was about year ago. Now I have no headaches, am not sal low, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, my brain clear and my hand steady. I have gained 20 lbs. and feel l am new man.
 T do not hesitate to give Pos tum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing. but I had dropped it before, using chocolate cocoa and other things to no pur- pose.
 "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an articl, of nOurishment, giving me the need ed phosphates and albumens. This i. no imaginary tale. It can be sub- stantiated by wife and her sister who both changed to Postum and arc hearty women of about 70.
 'I write this for the information and encouragement of others, and with feeling of gratitude to the in- ventor of Postum.'
 Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich. Read The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. There's a Rea- son."

A BRIEF STORM
 BUT A FURIOUS ONE

 The barn in the rear of the home of II. A. Davis was unroofed. and later picked up bodily and carried several feet. and finally deposited some dis tance in a broken mass of timbers. The awning in front of the Mesa bak- cry was completely torn from its fas- tenings, and that on the front of the store adjoining west was torn loose in many places.

Where Distinction Counted.

Gov. Chamberlain. OF Connecticut,
after telling about the railroad &C
cident which befell him not long ago
took occasion TO make some thought
full observations on European railroad
customs.

lines" he said. rs the very slight de
gree OF difference between the first
second and third class carriages.
vow that IL a CARRIAGES rank were not
printed on the door you would not
know what II was.
Il am aware OF but one case OF a
real distinction between first, second
and third class.
"A friend OF mine was touring York
shire last summer. An omnibus ran
between two Yorkshire towns. and
there were. OF course. first, second
and third class seats In 1t, yet they
were all very much alike.
My friend. sitting In his frst-class
place, thought he had been done until
long. steep hill appeared before him
The driver, hating at the foot OF
this hill, turned his head and shouted
'First.class passengers keep theiI
seats. Second-class. please dismoun'
and walk Third-class, get out and
