SOME HARD KNOCKS.

Woman Gets Rid of "coffee Heart"
The Injurious action of coffee on the
heart Of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up coffee,
as that was the principal cause OF the
trouble. She writes:
My heart was SO weak it could not
do its work properly My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
] would never breathe again.
The doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart. He
said must stop it, but it seem could
not give it up until was down in bed
with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks I lay there and
suffered. Finally husband brought home
some Postum and j quit coffee and
started new and right. Slowly I got
well. Now I do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak heart
We know it is Postum that helped me.
The doctor said the other day, never
thought you would be what you are
used to weigh 80 pounds and now 1
weigh 1853.
Postum has done much for me and
would not go back to coffee again for
any money, for believe it would kill

CURED at Villisca. yesterday morning,
when the drug store of B. F. Thomson

A W0MAN's TACT. 4,
The Actress Spoiled q Scene, bvt
Soothed the Angry Star.

There is pretty story of Modjecka
and a new leading woman who was to
play the part of Elizabeth in Schiller's
dreary play, Mary Stuart"
The new leading woman, who was
TO assume the part of the red haired
sovereign, was a beautiful young per-
son whose acting experience had been
limited to few seasons in modern So
ciety plays On the night Of the first
performance, in the most important
scene of the drama, where the captive
Mary confronts Elizabeth in Fotherip-
gay park, all was not well. The new
leading woman, wearing a wig for the
first time in her career and looking I'M
comfortable in the high Elizabethan
ruff, was Ill at ease in the beginning,
and, losing one of the chief words and
thereby the meter from her opening
lines, she began to founder and soon
"dried up completely.
This left Schiller's unhappy Mary
standing in the center of the stage
waiting to be adequately insulted But
El;zabeth's mind was blank, madam
could see that, and, jumping to her
last speech. the curtain was brought
down. Everybody on the stage was
distressed. But instantly the beautiful
young woman, disguised as the irate
Elizabeth, rushed to the stars side
and said:
'Dear madam, / am so sorry, but you
know you do lock so lovable in this
part 1t was impossible for me to say
those terrible things to your

preston on Modjeska's face, and then
