TN BOSTON MARKETS.
Receipts Of Eggs Are Quite a Good Deal
Larger az Present.

LdAEGA a. AttoEAAs
Boston. April 14.-There is little
change in the local market for dairy
products except that eggs are slightly
firmer. Receipts Of eggs are quite bit
larger than they have been, but they
are still very much smaller than then
were at this time last year II seems
that live poultry have been bringing
such good prices that raisers are selling
more than usual and the production Il
necessarily smaller. Eggs are high and
because OF that fact the poultry men are
disposed to ask high prices for their
eggs Butter continues dull and easy.
but there is very firm market for
cheese.

Butter Fancy northern creamery,

have him punished for even the slight

COFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME-"
Tales Thai Are Told.

II was one OF the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me-"

couldn't convince me its use was con-
nected with the heart and stomach
trouble / suffered from most Of the
time.
IN trouble finally got s o bad I had
TO live on milk and toast almost en-
tirely for three or four years. Still l
loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it
could do such damage.
what l needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
II had read much about Postum,
but never thought 1t would fit my case
until one day l decided to quit coffee
and give it a trial and make sure
about II. So I got a package and care
fully followed the directions.
Soon / began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other d.
gestants, and it was not long before !
was really a new woman physically.
Now 1 am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along nad ! know this wonder
full change is all due to my having quit
coffee and got the nourishment I need

my wonder Is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with 1t and build themselves Ut

He made the acquaintance of the stage
attaches, who liked him and gave him
complete liberty OF action. AS ne could
not sit ~contentedly in listless observa-

might. He would frequently aid the
property men in placing the stage set,

alone he was more of the time on the
stage than In the auditorium.
1t one time John McDonough was
playing an engagement IN a spectacu-

nature, the sisters being represented as

Tad had attended several performances
of this play and was greatly taken with

he induced his father to come.

an army blouse and cap, much too
large for him, and when McDonough's
song was ready for the chorus, there
was Tad at the end of the soldier line,

at the top of his voice. The president
had q bad quarter of a minute of shock
at the sight. but the humor of the sit
