A SPOON SHAKER.
Straight From Coffeedom

Coffee can marshall good squadron
OF enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady In Florida writes:
i have always been very fond of
good coffee. and for years drank IL at
least three times day. At last, how.
ever, ! found that 1t was injuring me.

and blood.

Heroes in a Lighthouse

coast OF Britanny, which relates the following
story:

Leaving out of consideration the Republican
leader. Senator Serene E. Payne and the Demo
cratic leader, John Sharp Williams, there were
probably more verbal duels between Champ Clark
of Missouri and General Charles II. Grosvenor OF
Ohio and between John Dalzell OF Pennsylvania
and any Democrat on the other side of the aisle
who was willing to try issues with the somewhat
waspish Pennsylvanan. Grosvenor and Clark
were good at retort as any other members OF
the house They had encounter after encounter
and It would be difficult thing to decide which
of the two came out Of the trays the better.
Grosvenor in his retorts was apt to be cutting.
while Clark more likely to be broadly
humorous.

Consider This Advice.

No woman should submit to a surgi-
cal operation, which may mean death,
until she has given Lydia 4. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound fair trial.
This famous medicine, made only
from roots and herbs, has for thirty
years proved to be the most valuable
tonic and invigorator of the female
organism. Women residing in almost
every city and town In the United
States bear willing testimony to the
wonderful virtue of Lydia Z. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound.

invites all sick women to write
her for advice. Her advice is free,
