PLAIN TRUTH.
From Thirty Years Experience.

The plain truth from simple, honest
folks, is the very best testimony any
one can ask. Here's what N. H.
man says about coffee.
"As I have had 30 years experience
with coffee and its effects, 1 may be
permitted to say something pertinent
to the subject.
my appetite began TO fail, food dis
turbed my stomach. bowels became
badly constipated, was restless. sleep
so greatly disturbed / dreaded to go to
bed
MY stomach got so bad 1 could not
eat anything for supper but milk and
a cracker. In the evering I would be
so thirsty that nothing would satisfy
me but cup of strong, cold coffee.
Coffee was my invariable drink for
breakfast, with a dougnnut or piece Of
toast was all the time consulting the
doctor. taking digestive preparations
to help the stomach. and cathartics to
move the bowels. frequently having at
tacks Of terrible pain IN the bowels
which would necessitate calling the
doctor.
after many years Of this, became
convinced that something must be
done.
''At last I got hold Of Postum and
began using it in place of coffee and
have continued to use II daily for the
past six years. The Improvement was
gradual, but sure. Tor the system
requires time to recover from the dam
age done by coffee and feel the full
benefits Of Postum.
Improvement has continued from
the very first. TO the present. Digestion
grew better. bowels became regular,
and at bedtime I now anticipate a
good nights sleep with pleasure.
THE change from coffee to Postum
has made a wonderful change in my
condition. 1t could not be expected
that a man 81. with a years and 10
months service On the army, could be
made young again. But I do honestly
believe I state the plain truth when ]
say that If I had not changed from
coffee TO Postum should have been.

LYONS ON
MIXED MARRIAGES
Declares That the Church
Looks Upon Such Unions

The recently issued letter of Pope
Plus X. relative to marriages, is just
now recuiving 40 little attention from
the Roman Catholic hierarchy in this
country In this city Vicar-General

ing course of instructions anent the
new regulations which take effect next
Easter Sunday, and which will for all
time to come, during The reign of the
present Pope at least govern the mar

AT the late mass in the Cathedral
yesterday, which was celebrated by the
Rev. Father McKenua. Father Lyons
preached the sermon. After reading
the Epistle and Gospel of the Sunday
st. Paul to the Galatians, chapter iv.

his sermon by stating the different
aspects under which he had considered
marriage. namely, it's divine origin, it's
nature and constitution. I'VE find

speaker. that its been mutilated by
man, but restored by our Divine LORD
and elevated into a great and Holy
Sacrament. II represents the very life
OF our Lord in the church. and it was
constituted by Christ for men and wo-
men so they could glorify God, save
their souls and bring up their children
in the fear of God. Marriage is ex-
cellent for some men and women be-
cause it is holy. but not for all men
and women. But nevertheless It is as

divided by those things that precede
the contamination of marriage.

body is free TO marry. Strange II is

THE STOCK MARKET.
Accuracy of the Exchange In the
Analysis Of Events

Accuracy Of the Exchange In the
Analysis Of Events.
Barring the case of manipulation,
which carries its own remedy and
which is one of the evils Of speculation,
the stock market tells the truth. Tenn
porarily indications may be misleading,
but it is eventually shown that its
analysis Of events is correct. The ST.
lent panic Of March, 1907, was a pre-
mise of the panic of November. Dur
ing the intervening seven months prices
dropped steadily, showing plainly that
there was a weakness in the financial
and Industrial structure. The utter
foolishness Of blaming speculation for
the downward movement is obvious
The stock market with its daily record
of prices said as plainly as it was pos
sible to say: Danger! Stand from un-
derw
Something similar happened in 1898.
Bradstreet's for July 20, 1893, shows
that twenty representative stocks fell
on an average As points. or more than
so per cent, between January and July.
This mitigated the effect of the panic.
One Of the most striking illustrations
Of the cold blooded accuracy of the ex-
change is recorded by Proudhon in
the Spectators Manual. published at
Paris in 1857, in which he shows that
in the later days of Napoleon and the
restoration, while French patriotism
was at white heat, prices on the bourse
advanced with each victory of the al
lies, rejecting the belief that the defeat
Of Napoleon meant more for France
than the success.-John Paul Ryan in

No material is more satisfactory than

may have recourse to the washtub even
as does a suit of linen or cotton.
