EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton of the results OF a four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since / can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all, and / myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and
ness caused by it.
II know it was that, because when
/ would leave 1t off for a few days I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up, eve though | realized how
harmful it was to me.
AT last | found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago l abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and / also in
fuenced the rest Of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And it has done us all great
good.
Il no longer suffer from indigestion,
and my nerves are In admirable tone
since / began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.
I'VE appreciate Postum as a de-
lightful and healthful beverage, which
not only invigorates but supplies the

French Fortunes.

From Financial America.
In France large fortunes are not the

six exceeded $1,000, Gee: 10 exceeded ST.

100000. The total duties paid amount
ed to $54, 25O, 900. Whatever wealth IL
contained in France it is very evident
from these statistics, is largely sub
divided among the masses. And while
the French can not point to colossal in
dividual fortunes in France, as we may
point to in this county. on the whole
It is probable the lot of the average
French citizen is not less contented
than that of the average citizen in this
country. Experience teaches that where
great wealth is amassed by the few al
the expense of the many, society is
not ideally cemented. Whether this Is
true or not of the United States, 1t is
certainly not the case in France.

An amusing incident occurred a few
days ago outside Maranz, Austria.
A COW strayed from the pasturage and
came within reach of the fort. The
officer in command suspected the pres
ence of an automatic Photographic ap-
paratus, and had the beast seized and
closely examined and when he found
nothing to justify his suspicious he
turned the animal loose again, under
the observation of two of his men,

Just how serious a problem tubercu-

being gathered from thousands of
ministers regarding this subject, anu

ponent, Walter Miller, St. Paul's well

ed Joe Carr of Minneapolis last night
before a crowd of 5000 people at

was one of the greatest exhibitions of
wrestling ever seen there, with Mil

while his opponent seemed to lose
heart as the bout heightened
The first fall came after one hour
and eleven minutes of the hardest
kind of work on the part of both men,
Miller clamping a half nelson and a
body scissors on the struggling Carr.
After the intermission Miller came
back apparently stronger than ever,
while Carr seemed to lose heart, and
Miller was never in danger. 1t took
but eighteen minutes for Miller to
find his opening. This time winning
the fall with scissors hold.
