LEARNING THINGS
we Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, III,
says:
After being afflicted for years with
nervousness and heart trouble. I re-
ceived a shock four years ago that left
me in such a condition that my life
was despaired of.
Il could get no relief from doctors
nor from the numberless heart and
nerve remedies 1 tried. because I
didn't know that coffee was daily put
ting me back more than the doctors
could put me ahead
Finally at the request of a friend I
left off coffee and began the use of
Postum and against my convictions |
gradually improved in health until for
the past or 8 months have been en-
tirely free from nervousness and those
terrible sinking weakening spells of
heart trouble.
my troubles all came from the use
of coffee which I had drunk from chill
hood and yet they disappeared when l
quit coffee and took up the use of
Postum"
Many people marvel at the effects of
leaving off coffee and drinking Postum,
but there is nothing marvellous about 1t
-on1y common sense.
Coffee is a destroyer-Postum is a
rebuilder. That's the reason.

book. THE Road to MELVILLE"

LOST HIS MIND IN A NINE.
Radley Miner Became Suddenly In
sane While at Work

sane While at Work.
Radley Kan, April 27.-Joe
Marucci. one of the widely known
residents of this camp went insane
while at work in the Radley mine and
for several hours the camp was in
state of intense excitement
Marucci was apparently all right
when he went to work in the morning
but had been working only few
minutes when he came running from
his room. He was brought up from
the mine by several of his friends
and was taken to his home where ne
became violent and made an attack
on his wife. He managed to throw
her down and kick her several times
before he was got out of the house.
After he got out on the street he
broke loose from his friends and for
several minutes the front doors of
the house were kept locked.
It is thought by some that there
was black damp in his room which
might have caused him the trouble
He complained that he was burning
up and intense pains in his head,
which leads to the theory that the
black damp and bad air might have
been responsible for the affected con-
dition of his mind.

Bloodhounds Follow Robbers.

Kackley, kan. April 27.-Robbers
were in business at Kackley some
time Sunday night After the robbery
they did a little physical culture act,
walking six miles from this place to
Jamestown. at which place it is sup
posed that they took the Missouri Pa
cific train for the west The reason
of this conclusion is that b1oodhounds
started from the J. A. Johnson store,
which was robbed, and they picked up
a trail and followed it to jamestown
and to the Missouri Pacific depot.
Forty dollars in cash and a few small
articles is Mr.. Johnson'S loss.
