A jig-time comedy with interna-

the sights When the small son saw=rhe
Mexican federal soldiers he cried in a
childish voice, viva Madero."
Instantly the Iethargic federal guards
got busy, arrested the drug clerk ant
placed him in jail at the Mexican town,
for this breach Of international Ell
quet. The wife returned to Douglas,
frantic from fright and told her friends
Of her husbands fate at the hands OF
the federals.
Out at the Douglas Country club an
officer Of the United States. cavalry,
stationed along the border, was being
entertained by the Douglas clubmen-
The telephone rang. He was told Of the
happening at Aqua Prieta- The cavalry
officer got busy. He telephoned to the
commander OF the Mexican federal
guards at the Mexican town that un-
less the man was liberated and brought

EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land OF cot
ton OF the results Of Z four years use
Of the food age-hot Postum
Ever since I can remember we had
used coffee three times a day It had
q more or less injurious effect upon
us ALL and I myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervousness
caused by it.
II know II was that, because. when /
would leave it off for a few DAYS I
would feel better. But it was hard to
give 1t up. even though I realized how
harmful it was to me
AT last found a perfectly easy way
to make the change. -Four years ago
/ abandoned the coffee habit and began
TO drink Postum. and I also influenced
the rest Of the family TO do the same.
Even the children are allowed to drink
1t freely as they DO water. And it has
done US all great good.
Il no longer suffer from indiges ton,
and my nerves are in admirable tone

use the old coffee any more

to show her the house. The Mercer

any of the possibilities. They said
afterward that 1t was terrible: She
went into all the closets, and ran her
hand over the tops of doors and kept
getting grimmer and grimmer. In
the studio they came across a life

her eyes and made the girls 60 out
