EDITOR BROWNE
Of The Rockford Morning Star.

about seven years ago I ceased
drinking coffee to give your Postum
trial
Il had suffered acutely from various
forms Of Indigestion and my stomach
had become so di5ordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad At close
intervals would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed for week
or more. Soon after changing from
coffee to Postum the indigestion
abated, and in a short time ceased
entirely. l have continued the daily
use Of your excellent Food Drink and
assure you most cordially that I am
indebted to you for the relief it has
brought me.
Wishing you a continued success, I
am Yours very truly,

OF course, when a mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink it, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber-
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing it out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is a smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is Of any value
at all, there is but one road--quit
1t is easy to find out if coffee be the
cause of the troubles, for if left or 10
days and Postum be used in its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof is un-
answerable.
Postum is not good If made by short
boiling. 1t must be boiled full 15 min
utes after boiling begins, when the
crisp flavor and the food elements are,
brought out Of the grains and the bev4
erage is ready to fulfill its mission OF
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.

REMARKS BY The CHILDREN
Amusing Comments That Have Been
Gathered by 2 London
Woman.

Some amusing remarks by children
are told by Mrs. Bull Uondonl.
A little girl Of three and onehalf
years defined a wedding as "It's when
a lady goes into church with a curtain
on her head and comes out with a
man."
Another little girl remarked TO her
grandpa that her doh was stuffed with
sawdust. Grandpa asked: And what
are you stuffed with, Dorothy"
whereupon this sage Of three replied:
Il don't know God stuffed me-"
Another little girl was talking about
her Sunday school lesson and the two
Johns Of whom her teacher had told
her There was John the Baptist,
she repeated, "and John the beloved
disciple. There were three" her
younger sister gravely corrected
you didn't name John Bull"

only a silent gondola hovers past him,
the plash Of whose oars he hardly
hears.
In the distance another waterman,
perhaps an entire stranger, catches his
strain. The melody and poem weave
ties Of communication between the
two men who were otherwise unknown
to each other. The second man be-
comes the echo of the first, and he,
too, now exerts himself to grow audible
to the man who awakened response in
him, Convention directs them to pro-
ceed in turn verse by verse. The sing
ing may last through whole nights

They entertain without wearing each
other. The listener. moving between
both, takes interest IN the perform.
ance, while the two singers are intent
On each other.
The singing sounds with an un-
speakable charm in the far distance,
for only in the distance is It in har,
mOny with it's purpose. It sounds like
a lament purified Of sadness, and you
can hardly listen to it without tears.

organization, said quite spontaneously;

ing is. s."-GOethe's Travels in Italy"

Penn-Do you see anything Of our
old friend Growel? Last time l saw
him he said he didn't like New York.

Making Mist From Whisky.

From time to time dwellers along
the River spey in Scotland complain
Of the killing Of the fsh snd other In
furious effects produced by efiuents
from the distiIleries along It's banks,
The question how the Spey and other
rivers similarly situated may be pro-
tected from such pollution has been
discussed.
One interesting suggestion Is that
the deleterioUs products Of the distil-
leEiss might be disposed OF by being

phere would not be iijuriously affected
IN this way and that there would be
no perceptihle increase in it's moisture

Ten cents worth of canine pepper,

"Canine?" echoed the astonished
clerk. Why, my little man, / guess you

The little boy was doubtful.

pepper that had a sharp bite, so I
thought it was canine.

GOVERNOR HOME.
Possibility That Special Session May
Not Be Called

Charleston. w Wa, April s.
Governor Glasscock returned from his
vacation much improved in health and
is already delving into the great mass
or correspondence that accumulated
during his stay in the Sunny South
There are many things that are de-
fcired from time to time when the
governor is absent.
The extra session question. Of
course, WIS one Of the first things
the governor was asked about when
he put his foot in the capitol building,
AS a reply he referred tc the state
ment that he had given out before
starting for the South in which he
stated he would call the legislature IN
extraordinary session about the 25th
Of April, unless something then unfor-
seen would occur to cause him to
change his mind To this he said he
had nothing to add
But the governor may not convene
the legislature in extraordinary SEES
sion. He has said that it was the duty
Of am executive to first learn whether
legislature would pass a measure
such as would be proposed by the con-
vening of an extra session, and that If
il was definitely learned that iegisla-
ture would not pass measure along
the line proposed in such call, 1t
would be folly 70 call the legislators
together.
Although this was made in gen
oral way 1t was taken to apply speciti-
cally to the situation now confronting
the governor. He favcrs a statewide
primary. Both political parties de-
ciared in favor Of one in their last
state platform. and he feels that since
both parties have declared themselves
for the measure it is his duty to give
them a chance tn fulfill that promise,
fut if a call is issued it may be taken
for granted that the governor has
pretty good assurance that primary
! bin will pass.
