COFFEE HURTS
One in Three.

1t is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is poison to at least one
person out of every three, but people
are slowly finding it out, although
thousands of them suffer terribly be-
fore they discover the fact.
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee / became
restless, nervous and excited, so that /
was unable to sit five minutes in one
place. was also inclined to vomit and
suffer from loss of Sleep which got
worse and worse.
"a lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum. l laughed at the
thought that coffee hurt me, but she
insisted so hard that / finally had
some Postum made. / have been us
ing 1t in place of coffee ever since, for
I noticed that all my former nervous
ness and irritation disappeared. be-
gan to sleep perfectly, and the Postum
tasted as good or better than the old
coffee, so what was the use Of stick
ing to a beverage that was injurine
me?
"One day on an excursion up the
country remarked to 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
number of pounds and her former pal
pitation of the heart, humming in the
ears, trembling of the hands and legs
and other disagreeabie feelings had
disappeared. she recommended me to
quit coffee ant take Postum and was
very much surprised to find that 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"

Men Who Do women,s Work.
(TO BE CONTINUED

Among some of the American In
dian tribes of the southwestern United
States, says a writer in the Wide
World Magazine, there is a curious
custom of men occasionally assuming
the work of women as a life occupa-
ton. This, when 1t occurs, is volun-
tarily undertaken, and seems to be
due to a preference for feminine Ia
bors, the man sinking his identity as
far as possible by assuming woman's
garb. Pueblo Indians of Zuni, New
Mexico, do their share of the regula-
ton woman's work in the household
Of which they happen to be members

LICENSE DENIED
 JIM FULLERTON

Commissioner E. Nj. Stanton received word from Fairbanks last Thursday that the application of James Fullerton for liquor license at Dikeman has been denied.
 While DO reason Is assigned for the refusal, 1t was not altogether une1, pected. It was known that Mir. Cross ley objected to the granting of the Ii. cense on tho grounds that there was nc marshal It Dikemxn, nor could the hotel be properly designated as road house.
 From tho standpoint ot public policy the denial of tho license is to be re. gretted, as it simply means q recrudes, cence of the illicit liquor selling which obtained before the Pioneer hotel was opened.
 Tho hotel was built by Sam Dublin, who secured license for the same il the fall of 1910. Since early spring the house has been under the management of Jim Fullerton, who is also part owner, and no compalints have been lodged against the place so far ss is known.

BELIEVES BONANZA
 HAS GOOD CHANGE

There Is fair chance, in the opinion of c. E. Worden, that prospecting may establish a run of pay on Bonanza and it's tributary creeks that will eclipse Flat and Otter. It is well known that mineralized dike extends through the region for distance of several miles and it is reasonable to believe, he says, that it carries pay values in sou 0 places at least, and the possibility of something really gsod is sufficient to warrant the attention of prospsctors.
 Mir. Worden was on hand as mem- Der of the Iditarod city council at the meeting last Wednesday night, but re- turned to Bonanza the next day. He has boiler and 8 pulsometer on the ground and expected to get shaft down in few days at the place where the drill has already shown good pros poets.
 The valley is wide and he is working neur the creek. The ground is wet, but there will be DO trouble in con trolling the water.
