COFFEE HEART
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
81 became satisfied some months
ago that / owed the palpitation of the
heart from which l suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee. Il had been
a coffee drinker for 80 years. but l
found it very hard to give up the bev-
erage.

sible and Straightforward presenta-
ton of the claims Of Postum. and
was so impressed thereby that / con-
cluded to give it a trial.
my experience with it was unsat-

to be prepared-by thorough boiling
for not less than Is or 20 minutes.
After I learned that lesson there was
no trouble.

able and satisfactory hot beverage,

"The effect on my health has been
most salutary. The heart pa~lpitation

us-except Bella, who stood back and
smiled nastily-to get Betty back into
the sick-room again. l was supremacy
thankful by that time that / had not
drawn the nurses slip. With dinner
ordered in from one Of the clubs, and
the omelet ten hours behind me, my
position did not seem SO ~unbearable.
But a new development was coming.
While Betty was fussing with Aunt
Selma, Max led a search Of the house.
He said the necklace and the bracelet
must be hidden somewhere, and that
no crevice was too small to neglect.
We made a formal search all to-
gether, except Betty and Aunt Selma,
and We found a lot Of things in differ
ent places that Jim said had been
missing since the year one. But no
jewels-nothing even suggesting a
jewel was found. We had explored the
entire house, every cupboard, every
chest, ever the insides Of the couches
and the pockets of Jim's Clothes
which he resented bitterly-and found
nothing. and / must say the situation
was growing rather strained. Some
one had taken the jewels; they hadn't
walked away.
1t was Flanagan who suggested the
roof, and as we had tried every place
else, we climbed there. OF course we
didn't find anything, but after all day
in the house with the shutters closed
on account of reporters. the air was
glorious. 1t was February, but quito
mild and sunny. and We could look
down over Riverside Drive and the
Hudson, and even recognize people We
knew on horseback and in cars. II
was q pathetic JOY. and We lined up
along the parapet and watched the
motor-boats racing on the river, and
tried to feel that We we're ii the world

Special Auditor Was Examining
Books When He disappeared

Raleigh, May 25.--News reached
this city late yesterday OF the suicide
of Mr.. R. H. Spruill. cashier of the
Merchants and Farmers bank of Co
lumbia, but only very vague particu-
lars could be learned at that time.
Later authentic reports are to the
effect that a special auditor began
checking up the bank records Monday
and Cashier Spruill placed the books
at his disposal and excused himself.
He never returned TO the bank There
was a search for him that evening.
Tuesday G. NJ. Elliott reported having
seen Spruill in the woods some dis
lance from Columbia. Renewed
search In that locality revealed his
body with a bullet from SO caliber
Colts revolver in his right temple. A
note by his side requested his wife to
pay his mother slo0 and giving some
about his Insurance
policies. He added that suicide was
on account of two men whose names
he gave but which are being withheld
at Columbia.
The first news OF the suicide came
to Raleigh in telegram to superin-
tendent OF Public Instruction Joyner,
Mr.. Spruill being county saperinten-
dent OF public instruction.
