 "As a public speaker" writes a Penna man, q had been in the habit of drinking a cup of coffee after my evenings work.
 My nights were nearly always rest less or when I did sleep l would awake with a heavy, duli feeling and every movement became an effort" (Reaction of the coffee poison) My nervous sys- tenn eventually became so unstrung that I was obliged to placed myself under the care of a physician.
 .'The doctor advised me to give up coffee and drink Postum, which I did. Postum not only assures me good nights sleep but nourishes the system l have used 1t for a year and have taken great pleasure in inducing several familiesin our neigh borhood to use Postum instead of coffee.
 "One neighbor a highstrung, nervous frequently had attacks of stomach trouble woman who had drank coffee all her life, from which she suffered untold agones. Since she dropped coffee and has been drinking Postum she is in good health.
 "A young man who had been used to coffee three times a day, found his nerv- ous system calling for something stronger. He began to use spurious liquors and was on the down grade.
 . ''He finally decided to stop coffee and alcoholic beverages and drink Postum Not being made right at first, be did not like 1t, but when I showed him how to make it-boil it 15 minutes, he liked it.
 ..This young man is now prosperous, healthy and of good habits. He believes Postum saved him from becoming drunkard."

Had it not been for the presence of mind of the motorman running an East Lake street car bound for the city last night about o'clock, the life of man who had not been identified at a late hour would no doubt have been crushed out under the wheels of the motor car.

The car was almost upon the man, but the motorman reversed his current instantly and the car stopped only few feet from the body.
 The passengers on the car crowded out and the man lying on the track appeared to be In an intoxicated condition. The only injury found on his body was a slight bruise on one of his jaws. He waa brought to the city on the car and was removed to St. Vincent's hospital in an ambulance of the Green Undertaking company. The attending physicians reached the conclusion that the man was unconscious from the effects of whisky.
 As stated the man has not been identi- fled. He was lying on the track partially on his face, and near his right hand was found a rattan whip. It is sun- posed that the man was driving some an- imal. stumbled over the track and was unable to get up.
 The man is apparently about B or 90 years old about 5 feet inches tall, weighing about 160 pounds. In one of his pockets was found piece of paper with the inscription w. J., 222 Fifty-second street." and s1 15 in money.
