Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof. fee even after they know it is doing them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an easy matter to give 1t up for good, when Postum Food Coffee is properly made and used instead.
 A girl writes: Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years, but kept drinking coffee.
 One day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Postum. But Mother was such a slave to coffee she thought it would be terrible to give it up.
 Finally, one day, she made the change to Postum, aud quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking Postum so freely and with such relish 1 asked for a taste.
 That started me on Postum and now drink it more freely than l did coffee, which never comes into our house now.
 A SlIl 1llcuu LII lulLtS OllG uA9s oehW me drinking Postum and asked if il was coffee. told her 1t was Postu# and gave her some to take home. aut forgot to tell her how to make it,
 "The next day she said she did l. see how 1 could drink Postum. found she had made it like ordinary coffee. So 1 told her how to make it right and gave her eupful I made, after boiling it fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is baaished from both our homes" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Michigan.

Throat Cut and Pockets Rifleo.

When the horse and buggy belong ing to A. W. Thorpe stopped at his home four miles from Argenta, near Oak Grove school house, about o'eloct Wednesday nigh:, Mrs Thorpe ran out of the house to meet her hus. band. iwho had been away all day working at his timers shop in Ar genta. When she reached the buggy she found her husband lying in the bottomi dead. with d ghastly knife wound ip his throat. He had also been shot, anl his body was covered with blood His trousers pockets turned inside out told the motive for the hor- rible deel. There is little doubt but that robbery was the motive for the crime, btt it is known that Thorpe did not have large amount of money on his peIson. Just where the murder was committed has not been discov- cred. Int murderer had evidently climbed inb the buggy to commit the crime, and then had allowed the horse to carry iE dead master on to his home. Mystery surrounds every detail of the murder. No arrests have been made, and the county officers are at loss to fix the guilt. Robbery was undoubtedly the motive, as the mans pockets were turned inside out and their content scattered over the bot tom of the wagon in which his body was found when the horse, without guidance, brought it home.

Every farmer should organize small nome industry club and should work the home for everything that its possible to produce at home.
 The idea of trades days which are in vogue in many places should be- come common. In these days those having anything for sale or trade meet and you have an opportunity to trade anything you may have surplus for something you may want. For ir- stance, one man has more pigs than he san properly care for, a1d s1me other man has a surplus of calves, but is shy Of pigs. These two men meet at these places and in no time they are both happy by getting rid of what they did not want, and at the same time getting full value for it. This saves the losses of time and money that comes from the usual manner of selling to the middle man" and buy ing flCm him at two profits to him dGd two losses to the other fellow.
 Nearly all the good Union men are keeping books on the business this year. The time has come for men to quit raising unprofitable crops. Life is too short But the only way to know what a thing costs is to keep aDso- lute tab on what money. time and care have been put into it.
 
 It is not the surplus of cotton that is playing havoc with the farmer. It is the shortage of other things. Put your cotton in the warehouse, and raise some other things until the spinner wants that cotton bad enough | to pay what it is worth for it.
