FIRST STORY OF THE TRAGEDY
Survivors Of the Great Disaster Tell
Of Scenes That Followed Death
Blow to the Titanic.

New York, April 1S.-From sur
vivors on board the Carpathia, the
first story OF the Titanic's great ira
gedy isktold. #
So far it has been made certain that
the Titanic struck a fiinty iceberg,
which ripped open Its keel almost
from, end to end. The boats were
lowered Immediately, and women and
children, with enough men to row,
were placed in them.
The Titanic carried to their deaths
1872 persons.
The survivors include 219'men--pas-
sengers and members of the crew who
manned the boats-and $40 women
and children. OF these; 63 men. six
children and 140 women were from
the first cabin; sixteen men, ninety
two women and ten children from the
second cabin, and approximately 400,
mostly women and children, from the
steerage. s
Panic Follows Crash.
a scene of panic was enacted on
the giant liner a few seconds after the
berg was struck.
Frantic men and women rushed
from their cabins and swarmed the
decks. Few were more than scantily
clad, and many wore nothing save
their night clothes. Among these was
Mrs. John Jacob Astor, who had on
only a nightgown and a waterproof
coat.
The full force OF the disaster was
hardly realized at first, even by Cap
tain Smith and the They at
tempted to %reassure the passengers,
but the roar of water pouring into the
hull made 1t evident that the, ship was
doomed.
Then it was that the inadequate life-
boats were lowered and the rev
told on to man them. Women and
children were first sent over the sides
and into the boats. \
When about half the boats had been
dropped into the water panic seized
a part OF the men and they attempted.
to- swarm into them.
Captain Smith and officers of the
ship, armed with revolvers, held them.
back, and the brave Off cers soon were
Joined by the more courageous men OF
the passengers.
Last Sight Of Their Loved Ones.
No more dramatic sight could be
pictured than that which greeted the

COFFEE HURTS
One In Three.

It il difficult to make people believe
that coffee Is q poison to at least one
person put Of every three, but people
are slowly finding 1t out. although
thousands Of them suffer terribly be-
fore, they discover the fact.
A New York hotel mar says: Each
time after drinking coffee I became
restless, nervous and excited, so that1
was unable to sit five minutes in ono
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss Of sleep, which got
wors and worse.
"A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble. aad suggested
that I try Postum. I laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted 30 hard that I finally had
! some Postum made. I have been u.s.
Ing 1t in place of coffee yer since. for
l noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. I be
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, SO what was tho use OF stick
ing to q beverage that vas injuring
me?
~ 10. r- UEEa r.. .H-
zone day on an excursion up the
country I remarked to a young lady
friend on her greatly improved appear
ance. She explained that some time
before she had quit using coffee and
taken to Postum. She had gained q
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation Of the heart, humming in the.
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other d~isagreeable feelings had
disappeared. She recommended me to,
quit coffee and take Postum and was.
very much surprised to find that I had
already made the change
"She said her brother had also re-
ceived great benefits from leaving on
coffee and taking on Postum. - There's
a reason.
Ever read the above lettert A new
one appears from time to time. they
are genuine. true, aid full Of human
interest.
