DROPPED COFFEE.
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds ON Postum,

A physician of Wash. D. c., says OF
his coffee experiences:
For years suffered with period
ical headaches which grew more fire.
quent until they became almost con-
slant. So severe were they that some
times was almost frantic. / was
sallow, constipated, irritable, sleep
less; my memory was peor.I trembled
and my thoughts were often confused.
My wife. In her wisdom. believed
coffee was responsible for these ills
and urged me to drop it. / tried
many times to do so. bat was its
slave.
Finally wife bought a package of
Postum and persuaded me to try it,
but she made it same as ordinary
coffee and was disguised with the
taste. Il make this emphatic be-
cause fear many others have had the
same experience.) She was distressed
at her failure and we carefully read
the directions, made 1t right, boiled it
full 10 minutes after boiling COM
menced. and with good cream and
sugar. liked lit invigorated and
seemed to nourish me.
That was about year ago. Now
have no headaches. am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my hand steady.
l have gained 20 lbs. and feel am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing. but had dropped
1t before, using chocolate, cocoa and
other things to no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article of
nourishment, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumens. This is no
imaginary tale. 1t can be substantial
ed by my wife and her sicter, who
both changed to Postum and are
hearty women of about 20.
Il write this for the information
and encouragement of others, and
with feeling of gratitude to the in.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HONORs GROVER CLEVELAND.
Names Who
Mrs. Cleveland Of His PreeIamation
IAn AS.AntdA RoeesAia

coincide with the birthday of our first
President.
President Cleveland was one Of
the first to recognize the need of for
est preservation, and the creation of
the San Jacinto and other forest re-
serves, with a total area of 1885,
500 acres, was one of the results of
his foresight in this direction.
Throughout his life he took great in
terest In conserving the natural re-
sources of the Nation; and I particu-
larry regretted his inability to attend
the meeting of the Governors in May,
because that meeting was in part the
fruit OF seed he had sown years be-
fore. The name of Grover Cleveland
will always be prominently identified
with the movement to protect the
forests of the United States, and it
seemed to me eminently fitting that
one of the forests which he created
should bear his name throughout all
time.
Sincerely yours,
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

fects of ut. Long coats cover up the
misfit OF the barrel trousers. Con-
sentative styles with q draping effect
that require careful tailoring will
prevail in the fall"
The cutters were urged to pad the
shoulders only when absolutely nee
essary to give the figure proper shape
and to balance the garment sufficient
ly to give the wearer distinction and
individuality" Unusual fabrics were
also selected by the tailors for the
discard. Conservatism in shades will
replace the zebra" styles and other
summer novelties.
Colors will be toned down to con-
form to the greater conservatism of
design. Brown, It was said, would
be the prevailing hue for fall suits,
with strong representation of green
ish tints.
"OvercOat Styles" said one speak
er, will be 'boxy,' three-quarter

The posse drove to the Gross farm
in two automobiles from Benton Har-
Dor. Shortly before their arrival the
Gross brothers had rushed from the
house and taken position with their
guns near the front fence. After
about fifteen shots had been fired at
the officers. who replied with rifles
and shotguns, August left his cover
and ran for the house. Fred was
wounded through the leg, and when
he found that he was unable to fol-
low, fred a bullet through his own
head, dying instantly. Expecting Au-
gust to open fire momentarily, the
posse closed In on the house, entered
it and found the crazed man dead on
his own bed. A single shot from a
shotgun had pierced his heart.
! August Gross was a well educated
man. Worry over his failure to get
financial returns from a sight which
he had invented for military rifles is
said to have unsettled his mind, al
though it is declared that insanity Ia
hereditary In the family.

EDUCATIONAL COLUMN
 (Rv Leo Ranneyl

Last Monday morning we were pleased to enter four new pupils-one into the high school, three into the grades.
 The following pupils were neither absent nor tardy during the month of December: James Dolye, Clyde Doyle, Winnefred Raber, Clara Diaz, Theo- dCre Chapman, Raymond Curtis, Charles Brereton, Cathiine Curtis Minnie Heath. Ethel Whitcomb, Ed gar Anderson, Margaret Chapman, Frances Grant, Florence Reynolds, Frank Story. Mildred Radenbaugh, John Pankratz, Virgil Morgan, Law renee biaz, Doris Radenbaugh, Alice Heath. Edna Hart, Alma Grant, AlS ie Radenbaugh, Arthur Williams, John Heath, t,ldon Daly, Joseph Chapman, Ollie Pittenger, A lma K Kirshbaum, May Copeland, Vaoras McWilliams, Law reuce Cagle, Bryon Whitfield, Andrew Hart, Alma Knight, George Cole, Hazel Heath, Norton Mcclellan. Lloyd Reyuolde, Beulah Majory, Zoe Cope land, Willis Cornell, Lillian Maiory, Ruth Kubley, Jennie Heath, Bessie 5ymonds, Edward Campbell
 It is a splendid recommendation for any pupil to be neither absent nor tardy for month of school; but when be or she is thus faithful for a whole year there is something in that boy or girl that everybody admires and that the world wants.
 We cannot commend too highly the action of the Board in placing six magazines in the high school room. After pupil has finished his lessons he may through these learn what the world is doing and come in contact with great men and noble women. We have, toO, set of books of scionce and set of national histories. We are exceedingly we'll supplied with encyclopedias, having set of the Century encyclopedia and 8 twer- ty-one volume set of the International encyclopedia, both standard works and practically new. We sorely need, however, some works of history and biography, being entirely deficient in those lines, and some readable books of travel biography history, animal stories etc. for the lower grades.
