COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety Of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time l was a coffee
drinker l was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting Q or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this affection was added, some
years ago, o trouble with my heart
that was very painful. accompanied
by smothefing sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee l felt as II | had no
breakfast. finally decided about 2
years ago to abandon the use of cot
fee entirely, and as | had read a great
deal about Postum concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage.
I liked the taste of 1t and was par.
ucularly pleased to notice that 1t did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and l have not had an at.

year. My digestion is good, too. and

healthy woman. | know my wonder

There's a reason" and 1t is this.
Coffee has direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches. constipation and final
" change of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration.

a Bird Jekyll and HYDE.

The catbird is our northern mock.
Ing bird. When love attunes its voice,
1t can MARBLE as sweetly as the night
ingale. You must catch it in one of
Its melting moods If you would know
the charm Of its liquid notes. 1t Is
not at all beautiful-no more Is the
hooking bird - only gray-brown,
perky. restless thing, of lesser size
than the robin, with the soul of song
In It,
The wonder Of the catbird lies, of
course, In this, its dual nature. At one
time 1t hops about screeching com
plants against the circumambent air;
at another there throbs out from its
delicate throat the essence Of a divine
melody. Philadelphia Press.

STILL IN HIS POSSESSION
Remarkable Coincidence In Sum Of
Money That Rastus Had In
His Pocket.

Rastus was on trial, charged with
stealing seven dollars and eighty-tive
cents. He pleaded not guilty, and, as
he was unable to hire an attorney, the
Judge appointed Lawyer Clearem as
counsel. Clearem put up a strong
plea in defense, and Rastus was &C.
quilted.
Counsel and clier. met few min
utes later outside the court room.
Nov, Rastus," said Clearem,
you know the court allows the
counsel very little for defending this
kind of case. l worked hard for you
and got you clear. I'm entitled to
much more pay than I'm getting for
my valuable services, and you should
dig up a good-sized fee. Have you got
any money!"
Yes, boss" replied Rastus, 81 done
