4 FOOD DRINK Which Brings Daily Enjoyment.
A Iadv doctor writes:

A lady doctor writes:
 Though busy hourly with my own affairs. I will not deny myself the pleasure of taking a few minutes to tell of my enjoyment daily obtained from my morning cup of Postum. IL is food beverage not drug like coffee
 'I began to use Postum years ago. not because I wanted to. but be- cause coffee which dearly loved made my nights long weary periods to be dreaded and unfitting me for busi- ness during the day
 "On advice of a friend. I first tried Postum. making it carefully as sug- gested on the package. As I had al- ways used cream and no sugar" mixed my Postum so. It looked good, was clear and fragrant. and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look. like a new saddle.
 Then tasted it critically. for I had tried many substitutes for coffee I was pleased. yes. satisfied with my Postum in taste and effect, and am yet. being a constant user of it all these years.

 GOT THE LIMIT
Judge Kent Regretted That He Was
 Limited by the Law.

Judge Kent yesterday sentenced Ed Hanson, the Apache Indian, to five years in the territorial prison. Hanson was convicted last week of an outrage ous assault last summer on the 3-year- old daughter of Eliza Allen. living near Alma. It was at firstthought that the crime vas sufficient to keep him in the penitentiary for the rest of his -naturai life, but when the matter was sifted down it was found that the only charge that could be placed against him was that of aggravated assault. and it was for that he was indicted and convicted
 The sentence imposed was the limit. and in passing it Judge Kent expressed regret that his limitations prevented him from sending Hansen up for life
 The point was made in the course of his trial that Hanson was a superior sort of an Indian in the matter of in telligence: that he had had some edu- cation and was a person of mechanical skill and had held good positions
