SISTERS TRICK
But 1T All Came Out Right.


How a sister played trick that
brought rosy health to coffee fiead is
an interesting tale:
Il was coffee fiend-a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
strength. / Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it,
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. | noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
/ was drinking Postum for fear l might
not take any more.
'.She kept the secret and kept Civ
ing me Postum instead of coffee until
l grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving. nerve
strengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time / became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. l will not try to tell it, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow.

stroyed. There's a Reason"

zELAYA
 EXECUTES AMERICANS
Diplomatic Relations With HiCa-
 ragua Reach Crisis.

Diplomatic relations between the Unted States and Nicaragua reached crisis owing to reports received at | the state department that two Ameri- cans, Leonard Groce of Hampstead, Tex, and Leroy Cannon of Harris burg, Pa, had been executed for par ticipating i'll the revolution against President Zelaya of Nicaragua.
 The report came from the American consul at Managua, who informed the department that the two Americans were captured at Fl Castillo, near Greytown. The consul at Managua appealed to President Zelaya for q communication Of their sentences. Pres ident Zelaya refused, saying that their sentences were final.
 President Taft upon the receipt of this news was deeply incenscd at the action of President Zelaya. He at once immediately directed the navy department to send two naval vessels to Central American waters.
 The cruiser Des Moines was at once ordered to Port Limon, on the Atlantic side, and the Vicksburg to Corinto, on the Pacific side, to protect the lives and property of American citizens.
 Secretary Knox received the follow ing telegram from Jose de Olivares, the American vice consul at Managua:
 The Nicaraguan minister for foreign af- fairs has informed me that the two Amer jeans were executed on Nov. 12 at 10 o'clock a. m, stating that they had con- fessed to laying mines in the San Juan fhn nIia of viY1pg NTfoo raguan ships: that they were tried by court martial Salamon Selva acting as prosecuting attorney.
 The case is absolutely unprecedented. The commander in chief of the Nicara- guan army and the minister general of Nicaragua opposed the execution.
 It was ordered by President Zelaya not withstanding this and undoubtedly through personal antagonism, although Cannon had been involved in revolutions against the Nicaraguan government Lawyers who have been consulted have asserted that the execution was unwar- rantable saYagery. Letters to the fami- lies of the deceased have been kept Cor evidence.
 The Nicaraguan charge d'affaires sent the following note to the state de partment at Washington:
 The Nicaraguan government informs the legation that Leroy Cannon and Leon ard Groce, two well known adventures, were taken prisoners at Rio San Juan, pleaded guilty of locating mines in order to blow up two vessels carrying govern ment troops. In fact, they were found in fiagrante. They were tried by a military court, given full hearing and sentenced to death in accordance with the Nicara- guan laws. This legation is waiting for the certified documents of the process which will show that Cannon partici- hated in several revolutions against duras and Nicaragua and prove that they were tried in a legal way and that the sentence was justified.
 Following a conference with Presi, dent Taft at the White House, Secre, tary Knox said, This government will at once prepare a demand on the Nicaraguan government for reparation for the death of these two men,"

ASTOR AND HIS YACHT
 SAFE AT SAN JUAN
kOurmahaI Not Injured In West
 Indian Cruise.

After being reported missing for eighteen days John Jacob Astor and his palatial steam yacht Nourmahal were located at San Juan, Porto Rico.
 Captain Furst of the Red D line steamship Caracas, which arrived at Willemstad. Curacao, on Sunday, re ported that while he was at San Juan on Nov. II the Nourmahal came into the harbor, and the next day, when the Caracas sailed for Willemstad and La Guayra, the yacht was still at San Juan.
 Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hilles, who has charge of the revenue cutter service, thereupon sent wire less messages to three revenue cutters which had been detailed to look for the Nourmahal ordering them to de siSt from the search and return to port.
 The following day, Monday, a cable message was received from Willem- stad, Curacao, confirming the report as to the Nourmahal but the storm prevented cable or wireless communi- cation with Porto Rico.
 Then came q dispatch from Santo Domingo saying that the Nourmahal, with JohL Jacob AstOr and his son Vincent on board, left there Nov. '12 for San Juan ill hurricane weather.
 All doubt as to Mir. Astor's safety was finally ytremUved when his secrc, tary received letters from him on Tuesday, dated San Juan. He said that he and his son were we'll and that the Nourmahal was not injured ill the storm

HE MAYO HOSPITAL OF
 THE EAST
LOCATED IN .PITTSFIElO, MASS.

| It is only recently thlt the general public is beginning to reahza that tho. ablest and most skillful surgeons of to- day are not confined to large cities. In ia:t some of chose who staad at the topof Inc profession live and operate in small centers of population. As striking illustration of this we have "St. Mary's Hospital" m Rochester, Minnesota, a small town of only 1000 population. The surgery is done there by the Mayo Brothers, and their slIilltul work has attracted the attention of the world. They, with their assistants, perform twenty-five or thirty operations daily Patients go there from all parts of tho Western states; but of course tho dis tance and expense places their services beyond the reach of many in the Eastern states, even if VIC did not have good surgeons of our own.
 About year and a half ago surgical hospital for the treatment of diseases of women, and surgical operations of all kinds, was established in Pittsheld, Mass, much on the samo plan as the one at Rochester. The success of this place has been wonderful. It is known as the "Hillcrest Surgical Hospital" and is often referred to as the Mayo Hospi. tal of the East" More than 500 opera. tions have been done there in less than n year and a half with excellent results. The capacity has been doubled since it started and large addition has recently been made. There are now two surgeons both are men of experience and surgical training, and men who, like the Mayo Brothers devote all their time and attention to this limo of work. Dr. Richardson was formerly surgeon of the Albany hospital, and was also teacher Of surgery in the Albany Medical college. He also spent some time at the Mayo hospital. Dr. w. L. Tracy is a graduate of McGill University of Mont. real, and has done hospital work in tho Royal Victoria hospital at Montreal, tho Bellevue hospital, and the Post. Graduate Hospital of New York city.
 Already patients go to the hospital from great distances and many parts Besides the up.to-date surgery dono there, the hospital has other advantages, such as good nursing, mostly by grad uate nurses; the clear bracing mir of the Berkshire Hills, the hospital having n an elevation of 1900 feet; good whole some home. cooked food, etc. The hospi- tal is differently conducted than that of the average hospital. Friends and relatives of patients are always welcome. as visitors, and may remain in the hospi-. tai with thelr relatives if they choose.
 Poor patients are operated upon free of charge, and receive every attention.
 All kinds of surgical conditions are treated, 0. E., appendicitis, rupture, gall stones, goitre, removal of prostate glands. cancer, tumors, aud all kinds of diseases peculiar to women. Tho latter make up. large proportion of the cases, and ex- cellent results are obtained. A hospital Of this kind, where everyone can go, rich or poor, and pay according to their means, is certainly a good thing, and we wish it continued success.
