A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago that I
finally quit using it. It brought on
headaches. pains in my muscles. and
nervousness.

time I drank milk at my meals, but at
last it palled on me. A friend came to
the rescue with the suggestion that I
try Postum.

didn't fancy it. But l had heard of so
many persons who had been benefited
by it's use that I p~ersevered, and when
I had it made right-according to d.

find no words to express my feeling
of what I owe to Postum!

MRS. TAFT TAKEN SICK
CONFINED TO BED BY ATTACK OF
NERVOUS TROUBLE.
viii be Able to Return to Washington
In Few Days, Says
Physician.

New York, N. Y. - Mrs. William
II. Taft suffered an attack of nervous
trouble in this city similar to that
with which she was seized Just two
years age. and which caused her aban.
donment of social activities for sever
al months thereafter.
h first lady of the land came to
New York with the president after
he had kept an evening speaking en-
gagement in Newark, and they attend.
ed a banquet given in connection with
the conference on reform OF the Grim.
inal law of procedure in the Hotel AS.
tor.
1t was during the dinner that Mrs.
Taft first felt ill, but she remained
until after the president had finished
his address and went to the home of
his brother, Henry w. Taft.
Sunday Mrs. Taft's condition was
deemed such that she could not &C.
company him to Washington.
The announcement caused alarming
reports of her illness. which the presi-
dent thought would be still more ex-
a~ggerated if he did not keep his ap-
polntment to speak in Harrisburg. Ac-
cordingly. he left as scheduled. and
Mrs. Taft remained in his brothers
house.
Henry w. Taft said Mrs. Taft had
remained in bed all day, but that she
was less seriously i'll than she was
two years ago. He said she had i'm
proved during the day and that there
was nothing at all alarming in her
condition.
Miss Helen Taft, was called from
Bryn Mawr to be with her mother.
The two Taft boys, Charles, who is
in Watertown, Conn, and Robert, who
is in Harvard, We're advised by wire
of their mothers illness, but were not
asked to come to New York. Follow
ing the presidents arrival he was driv-
en- directly to his brothers home.
Soon thereafter it was announced that
Mrs. Taft was much improved. Dr..
Evans says that Mrs. Taft will be
able to return to Washington within a
few days.
When in 1908 Mrs. Taft suffered her
first nervous breakdown it was said
she was overcome by the ordeal Of
witnessing al operation on her son,
Charles, in the eye and ear hospital in
Washington, and by the heat of the
trip down the Potomac. She was re-
moved from the yacht and taken back
to the White House. Her illness
caused her to give up her engage
ments for the remainder of the sum.

Newton Dwight Hills. the nov
famous New York preacher and au-
thor, some years ago took charge OF
the First Presbyterian Church OF
Evanston, Illinois. Shortly after
going there he required the services
of a physician, and on the advice of
one of his parishicners called in a
doctor noted for his ability properly
to emphasize a good story, but who
attended church very rarely. He
proved very satisfactory to the
young preacher. but for some reason
could not be induced to render a bill.
Finally DR.. Hills, e oming alarmed
at the inroads the bill might make
in his modest stipend, went to the
physician and said. See here,
Doctor. / must know how much /
owe you"
After some urging, the physician
replied, "Well, I'll tell you what I'll
do with you, Hills. They say you're
a pretty good preacher, and you
seem to think | am a fair doctor, so
III make this bargain with you. I'll

written by Sparkman and Adamson
in their own penmanship. Those
letters were something horrible to

writing of both was so bad that the

the bet, must pay for the dinner.
