years noticed no bad effects from its
use, but in time it began to affect me
unfavorably. My hands trembled, the
muscles of my face twitched, my men,
tai processes seemed slow and in other
ways my system got out of order.
These conditions grew so bad at last
that had TO give up coffee altogether.

Postum, began its use on leaving on
the coffee, and it gives me pleasure to
testify TO its value. find 1t delicious
beverage; like 1t just as we'll as did

New Geyser in Yellowstone Park.

For few days past there have been
indications of an eruption of some
kind near the Fountain hotel in Vel
!owstone park, says a dispatch from
Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo. Now a
new and magnificent geyser has bro
ken out in full force about 100 feet
north of the regular Fountain geyser
near Fountain hotel. This new geyser,
which does not appear to affect any Of
the others in that vicinity, played to a
height of $50 to 200 feet, throwing off
immense quantities of hot water, mud
and steam. The new geyser does not
play regularly as does Old Faithful,
but at short intervals, the eruptions
occurring five or six hours apart, and
lasting about one hour.
