QUIT COFFEE AND TEA What the Great German Specialist says

It disappoints some people to be told that coffee and tea cause disease. But it Is best to look squarely at facts ana set the face towards health for that's more fun than anything else anyhow. Cincinnati man consulted Berlin physician on nervous diseases and says:
 -Four years ago I was an habitual coffee drnller having used it for 25 years and being naturally of nervous temperament l became almost ner- vous wreck, greatly suffering from in somnia, almost constantly constipatcd and weighing only 12S pounds.
 ''T consulted physicians and took medicine all the time but had no relief. About three and half years ago went abroad and while in Berlin heard frequently of great physician, Prof. Mendei, an authority on nervous trou- ble, so I resolved to consult him.
 Prof. Mendel surprised me very much by asking at onc&br I was cof- fee thinker and on rny telling him I used it two or three times day he said. It is poison. After carefully ex- amining me he told me there was noth- ing the matter with whatever but what could be entirely cured in 50 days by letting coffee and other stimulants alone and dieting
 q had a hard time following his ad vice l did not know what to do until | came home and told my wife who got some Postum. We tried if but at first did not like it; then we went over the directions on the package together ana found we had not boiled 1t long enough.
 That was the beginning Of the enc of my trouble. for the PosIum was de- licious after that and I drank it reg ularly and it helped from the start.
 'In a very short time l began to feel much better and in the last three years l haven't been absent rom business one hour on account or III health, TOT my health is fine now. l have Q good appetite sleep well and weigh 175 pounds"
 Any nervous person who drinks cof- fec or tea will feel better from 10 days change to Possuin. Trial easily proves this

 At Dora, few miles below here, however, the citizens have worked themselves into a rage owing to the failure of the officials to have most of the trains stopped. at that place. The merchants declare that they will boy colt the road and haul their goods to and from the Southern. mile and a half distant from the town. In fact 1t is stated that some of the most prominent merchants and leading cit izens of the town are contemplating building a chert road to join the South ern at this point.
 Just as soon as Congress meets and the appropriation bill passes the Sem ate it is thought that work wIr be commenced on Jaspers government building, the site already having been selected and purchased and the gov ernment officials have ordered all ob- structions moved from the premises.
  mistress here, states that the Jasper postoffice will permanently go into the second class division the first of the year; and even if this should not oc- cur, the United States court converting here regularly would necessitate gov ernment building.
 Cotton still continues to pour into the local market, notwithstanding the low prices the staple is bringing. Up to date something over 1890 bales have been brought in and sold. this being an immense gain over this time last year.
 The city fathers lhave decided that Court square shall be paved with as- phalt. City Engineer Smith was at work Monday making surveys and es- inmates and as soon as these are adopt ed work will commence at once.

HyADES BULLS
CLEARED WHARF

Everyone is familiar with the pro-
verbal bull in the crockery shop, but
the story of the two bulls on the Seat
tie wharf has yet to be told.
The good ship Hyades was loading
general cargo and ten bulls for Homo
lulu on Monday March II, when two
of the bulls got loose, and wandered
around the dock in an inquiring sort
of way.
"They's all right" said the chief
mate, and to show his fearlessness and
confidence in his assertion he started
towards them with a nonchalant air
and his hands in his pocket. One of
the bulls suddenly lowered its head
and started in the mates direction
The mate, A. Cabling, hastily withdrew
his hands from his pockets, and raced
the bull for the narrow gangway.
Mr.. Cabling broke all existing records
for the distance, and despite his 29O
lbs. he flew up the narrow gangway
scuttled up the ladder leading to the
main deck, and apprehensive that the
bull might be trained to climb lad
ders he beat it for the bridge, seeking
! refuge in a corner. Second mate
Cogan from the inky depths of GOA
elevator called out some reassuring
messages to the chief that the bull
was all right, and would not hurt
anybody, but the mate was still pant
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1911-03-28

ing for breath, and his faith in ami
mails had not been restored.
Not the least interesting feature of
the race between the bull and the
chief mate, was the latter's attempt
to take refuge among some empty
beer barrels. With startling alacrity
he landed fair and square in the mid
die of them, but they failed to keep
together, and promptly parted. He
rested on an even keel on the deck
Of the wharf for a few seconds and
then made for the gangway.
The bull having missed the chief
mate, looked around for others, but
there was not soul in sight. Every
one had beaten it to a quiet retreat,
some of them having taken to lofty
perches. No one would dare to go
near the bulls, and, therefore, they had
full possession of the dock.
After few majestic strides about
the deserted docks, with the perver-
sity of animals, the bulls calmly as
cended the plank put there for the
purpose, and entered the vacant stalls.
| Silently, forms stole out of hiding
; places, and dropped the necessary
bars in position in order to prevent an
I interesting recurrence of the Spanish
national game on the eve of st. Bat.
rick's day. There is not one on board
who can tell the joke for laughing
If the first mate tells it he puts the
star part on to someone else, and if
the second mate tells it he does the
same. For some reason or another
the chief engineer prefers not TO talk
about it, on the grounds that there
was nothing in it at all, and it was
only lot of foolishness anyway. He
seems to lose sight of the wonderful
value of the athletic performances.

PORTLAND COMES OUT
WITH THRILLING BEAR TALE

Portland, Ore, April ga bear
story that is vouched for as being
gospel truth" comes from the wilds
of southwestern Oregon. Along the
Upper Skies River, in Curry County,
people are few and far between and
such an adventure might readily be-
fall any one there.
Al Miller, Walter Endicott and
Henry Volkner all from Myrtle point
were prospecting for gold recently
on the Upper Skies, camping in a
split shake cabin near Salmon Noun
tain. Just below the cabin and
across gulch was an open glade
and the prospectors agreed this was
a favorable place for deer to come
at night to feed.
One night Walter and Henry took
the gun and went for deer, leaving
AL sitting in the cabin. The door
was left open and there was no light
within. Soon big bear walked in
and reared up on his hind legs, in
viting a hug.
AL could not get out the door fol
the bear barred the way. He jump.
ed upon the table and then swung
up on the cross beams overhead
where a few shakes were lying fol
the storing of provisions. The beal
walked on his hind feet, looking III
at AL and daring him to come down
The freed trapper sifted flour down
thinking to blind Bruin, but the
flour went on the bears head anc
back and had no effect. A can o
kerosene was handy, so he poured
this down on the bear. Most of i
went on his back, however, and A
then thought to drop match. III
had few in his pocket, but the frs
one broke and fell without hitting
the invader. The second dropped
square on the bears neck.
Instantly he was all afire. H
trail with the speed of cannon ball
Twenty yards below the cabin h.
met Walter and Henry, the latte
with a deer strapped to his back
Both fell into the brush with lou'
yells as the blazing bear rushe'
towards them. AL has kept his ad
venture from his partners and the
have had a great time explaining tn
flaming apparition that charged
down upon them.
