of a plumber, hit H. Witt, a local

percuts.
Witt retreated in bad order Rv-

steamer are at Trinidad (British), at
two Venezuelan ports and at Colon,
Panama, which is controlled by the
United States.
Great Britain and the United States

tumbling from his chair on the first
day of the special session are herewith
printed for the first time. The earnest
young hustler from Maui was the VIC
tim of misplaced confidence, for the
chair was broken and had not been
fixed since before the regular session.
When Carley tumbled his head was
saved from crack by coming in con-
tact with the springy wires of patent
pen-rack, but the jar he gave the desk
behind him sent an ink-well cavorting
and somersaulting over his head with
out spilling a drop until it landed on

ly troubled with my stomach, complex
lon was blotchy and yellow After
meals often suffered sharp pains and
would have to lie down. My mother
often told me it was the coffee drank
at meals. But when I'd quit coffee I'd
have severe headache.
While visiting my mother-in.law
remarked that she always made such
good coffee, and asked hersto tell me
how. She laughed and told me 1t was
easy to make good coffee when you
use Postum.
II began to use Postum as soon as
got home, and now we have the same
good coffee (Postum} every day, and
I have no more trouble. Indigestion is
a thing of the past, and my complex
ion has cleared up beautifully.
My grandmother suffered a great
deal with her stomach Her doctor
told her to leave of coffee. She then
took tea but that was just as bad.
She finally was induced to try
Postum which she has used for over
year. She Travelled during the winter
