HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Conee.

To decide the all important uues-
ton of coffee. whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
ais and approaching fixed disease.
one should make a test of 10 DAYS by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to a
certainty that coffee has been your
vicious enemy. of course you can
take it back to your heart again if
you like to keep sick
A lady says: Il had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and
terrible sick headaches ever since I
was little child, for my people were
always great coffee drinkers and let
us children have all we wanted. I
got so I thought could not live with
out coffee but 1 would not acknow-
ledge that it caused my suffering.
Then l read so many articles
about Postum that l decided to give
it a fair trial 1 had not used it two
weeks in place of coffee until I be-
gan to feel like a different person.
The headaches and nervousness dis
appeared and whereas 1 used to be
sick two or three days out of a week
while drinking coffee 1 am now well
and strong and sturdy seven DAYS a
week. thanks to Postum
Il had been using Postum three
months and had never been sick a
day when I thought I would expert
ment and see if it really was coffee
that caused the trouble, so began TO
drink coffee again and inside of a
week I had a sick spell. I was so i'll
was soon convinced that coffee was
the cause of all my misery and 1 went
back to Postum with the result that
I was soon we'll and strong again and
determined to stick to Postum and
leave coffee alone in the future

THE CARS WE'RE SMASHED.
An Exciting Accident on Vincwood
Park Line.

Sunday evening a street car bound
for Vinewood park stopped near Cali
fornia avenue to take on a passenger.
A box car which was following ran into
the trailer of the car in question while
running at a fairly high rate of speed,
sending the passengers in the trailer
and front car spinning in every direc-
ton. The result was that one man ha !
his face badly cut, supposedly by the
teeth of some one with whom ne came
in contact, and the passengers gener-
ally were badly jolted, having the effect
in case of the women of causing them
to become hysterical.
The passengers were left in the dark
for three quarters before assistance
came. The front car was badly dam

INSANE WOMAN MOVED.
Elizabeth Paxton Is Taken to the Poor
Farm.

Elizabeth Paxton. 80 years Old, who
has been confined in the state hospital
for the insane, was taken out to the
poor farm last evening by Poor Com
missioner Hale. The old lady's reia-
tives are far distant and cannot take
care of her so the county has adopted
her.
She is not much "off'' and has begged
so hard to go somewhere and work and
get clean clothes lately that she was
allowed to do so.
Still the real reason for her imme-
diate removal, the officers say, was tc
make room at the asylum for a vio-
lentIy insane colored woman named
Biddie MPnson whom the countv has
been forced TO keep in the county Jail
awaiting space in the hospital

Fred McMasters Returns From
Harvest Fields.
Many Eastern College Boys Seek
Employment There.
ROCKS co. SOD HOUSE.
Skunk Farm in Same County
Paying Industry.
What North Side People Are
Doing.

Fred McMasters of 917 Jackson
street returned yesterday from west
ern Kansas, where he has been work
ing in the harvest fields since the mid
die of June. He worked in Rocks,
Rush. and Pawnee counties and also
drove through Phillips county. He
says that the harvest is about over
and that when he left the farmers had
started threshing- In Rocks county
he passed by the famous skunk farm
Among the crowd of harvesters were
many eastern college boys, also an
birth, who has been attending Ottawa
university and working in the summer
time.
Mr.. McMasters also reports that the
wages range from $3.50 to SO day.
but that those wages would not tempt
him to try harvesting again. He says
that the wheat will average around 10
bushels to the acre. as the rains came
too late in the spring TO insure tne
best of a harvest. In addition he tells
of seeing sod houses in Rocks county
and more Bohemians than Americans
in Rush county.
north overland said Mr.. McMasters
this morning. This is where the 1V-
cry drivers get in their graft They
tell the prospective harvesters that
they. will take them to farms where
employment can be obtained and
charge thier future employers the bill
However. if there is no need for
more help at the farms referred to,
those who went there to work must
pay the driver just the same.

the money and the experience than
the hobo type. Many of them were
from the east and also few from
South Carolina Then also with US in
Graham county was an Austrian VINO

and winter and spring and worked
during the summer. He said ne was
from the first families in Austria and
showed us pictures of his family and
home. He told US that he left Aus
tria four years ago to avoid being COM
PEELED to enter the army. He carried
a fine violin with him and is splehulu
player on that instrument.
Nearly all of the farmers in Rush |
county are Bohemians-but they are
We'll fixed. They came there in the |
early days when the land could be
money in the bank. Their homes are
we'll furnished.
1T is different in Rocks county.
This is a place of the old sod houses.
and the land is so poor that you
couldn't raise a fuss on 1t.
However. skunks are raised on a |
farm in that county. One man has
about eight acres in skunks- That is, !
ne has planted that much land IN
,unfIowers and turns the skunks loose
n them I understand that he sells
skunk hides to a Kansas City firm for
from % cents to So each, and that
asst season he cleared about $500
rom this industry. We drove by the /
place and we knew there was some
hing remarkable about the farm long
before we reached it. I have ha0

 WELL IN A BOTTLE
Home Made Mixture Relieves all kid- ney TrOuhle-Bladdcr Weakness and Rheumaii,m and i, Easily Prepared.

There are more Cases of kidney | trouble here now than ever before
 while recent reports show that more
 people succuulb each year to some
 form of kidnes disease than any oth-
 CT cause.
 ] When there is sickness. examine the urine. Rheumatism is only q symptom Of kidney trouble. It is
 nothing more or less than excessive
 uric acid in the blood, which the slug gish, inactive kidneys have failed to
 sift out, leaving it to decompose and settle about the joints and muscles,
 causing intense suffering: frequently
 resulting in deformity: often reach ing the heart, when death ensues. Pains across the back. frequent painful and suppressed urination and other symptoms of Weak bladder are not the only signs of kidney trouble; many cases of stomach disease, head 'ache, pain in the heart inactive liver, etc, are but symptoms the cause of which can be traced to feeble, clogeed kidneys.
 A simple test of the urine is to void small quantity in bottle or glass and let it stand over night; next morning if there is a reddish brick-dust sediment. or white fleecy substance present, either consult some reputable physician or take a good vegetable treatment The following
 prescription is recommended highly in these cases, and the sufferer eau
 mix it at home Compound karSon, one ounce; Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half ounce; Compound Syrup Sar- saparilla, three ounces. Shake well
 and use in teaspoonful doses after each meal and at bedtime.
 Where any of the symptoms emu merated above are present good re- suits are sure to follow immediately
