Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably fiat at times, and there is no possible doubt of what did it. A Mich. woman gives her experience:
 q used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live.
 Finally I got down so sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed, and my stomach did not digest even milk The doctor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would surely die, but I felt 1 could not give it up

It would seem as though Kentucky blue grass and white clover had en. tered compact eternal in it's nature. That is to say, compact to dwell to- gether in the same domain without a shadow of disagreement When they once obtain possession there they remain. The grass grows up earlier in the spring than the clover. It ri pens early, then the clover comes on The plants of clover multiply contin. ually and others die, and as they die the dead roots furnish food for the blue grass plants. In return, when the blue grass plants are not eaten too closely they furnish protection for the roots of the clover in winter.

 Tt is a great opportunity, wonder ful opportunity, and it is a call espe- cially to Americans. They believe in us now in Turkey. They trust us. There is nobody they believe in and trust as they do Americans in Turkey. They know that we have no selfish ends in view there. We do not want any of their territory; we are not going to try to overthrow the Turkish government; and they understand fully that what we are doing there we are doing for their good. They may think we make mistakes, but they know we are honest, and they know we are do- ing it for their good They trust us as they trust nobody else, and conse- quently it is great opportunity, a wonderful opportunity for us to go on and to try to make the people under stand who Christ is and what Christ is to the world"

GOLDEN CHANCE IN ORCHARD
Where Conditions Warrant 1t Is Worth While to Develop Scien-
 tifically Small Tract.

It would be scarcely true to say that there is not much of way out" for the small producer of such special crops as apples, for the man who owns the kitchen orchard, for the farmer who has a dozen trees turning off each season an indifferent crop of perhaps half dozen varieties. Yet it is not amiss to remember that these are days of specialization in agricul- ture. The orchardist who finds a group of anxious buyers sitting on his doorstep is the man in Illinois. Mis- sourf and Kansas with a fine showing of Wine Saps and Crimes Golden; in Maine or western New York the man with five or ten-acre block of Bald wins, every specimen substantially a counterpart of it's fellows on the tree. These are the goods for which there is positive scramble in a short year. and which receive friendly considera- tion in a full year It is useless to ex- pect March cold storage prices for wfndfalls and cider apples in Octo- Der. This it not decrying serious and thorough work on the part of the farmer with only few trees or small orchard who may cater to local trade But these lines are written to accentu- ate the trend of today toward com mercial orcharding, says Orange Judd Farmer. Truly it is worth while, where conditions warrant, to put out or develop the sizable orchard of three, five or ten acres on scientific and practical lines. What a chance for farmers sons with a bent in that direction! No sign in the sky yet of over-production of really high grade fruit; it Is the commonplace which suffers
