SHE QUIT
But It Was a Hard Pull.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put q person in such a condition as it
did an Ohio woman. She tells her
ownsstory:
Il did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked
it so well. would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but 1 was miser-
/ able sufferer from heart trouble and
nervous prostration for four years.
q was scarcely able to be around
had no energy and did not care for
ANYTHING. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart I'M
( til I thought / could not endure it.
For months l never went to bed ex-
pecting to get up in the morning.
I felt as though l was liable to die any
I time.
Frequently I had nervous chills
and the least excitment would drive
sleep away, and any little noise would
upset me terribly. I was gradually
getting worse until finally one time
it came over me and I asked myself
what's the use Of being sick all the
time and buying medicine so that !
could indulge myself in coffee?
so I thought I would see if
could quit drinking coffee and got
some Postum to help me quit
made it strictly according to direc-
tions and I want to tell you, that
change was the greatest step in my
life. 1t was easy to quit coffee be-
cause I had the Postum which / now

MINsTRELs AT FAMILY.

Manager J. P. Quinn is Offering Lew
Wheeler and his minstrel maids to
the patrons Of the Family the last half
of the week. 1t is something away
from the ordinary run of vaudeville,
and for that reason is in the nature
of a novelty to the Family following.
Wheeler serves as interlocutor, and
the two end girls are in black face
The old first part idea is adhered to,
with a few jokes and some songs, SEN
tjmental and otherwise The first
part is prettily mounted, Wheeler car
rying all the scenery for his prOduc-
ton. The clio consists of several neat
turns, the features of which are a bar
and ring act by two sensational per
formers who carry on with a careless
ness as though they were accustomed
to a AO-acre lot rather than. theatre
stage for their work a spring-jumping
stunt that is a great laugh-produceE
and limitations by one of the minstrel
maids. One of the best things on the
bill is the illustrated song of Mrs. Mae
Richards Casey, long the favorite vo-
calist at this little playhouse. The
moving picture is on the melodramatic
order, and goes strong with the audi
ences.

TONIGHT AT ILLINOIS.

"a Girl of the Mountains is to be
seen at the Illinois this evening. The
Llay is said to develop a strong plot
with very dramatic situations in such
delicate and picturesque style that
one, must at once place it far above
the ordinary drama An especially
strong scene, one that will grip its
hearers, is brought about when Nellie,
the mountain girl, discovers that she
has been betrayed by Richard Thurs

scene is most graphic and most telling
AID bound to command unfagging at
