SOME CAN
But Student Had to Quit

Some people are apparently immune
to tea and coffee poisoning-if you are
not Nature will tell you so in the all
ments she sends as warnings. And
when you get a warning, heed it or
you get hurt sure. a young college
student writes from New York:
Il had been told frequently that cof-
fee was injurious to me-" (tea is just
as bau land if I had not been told, the
almost constant headaches with which
I began to suffer after using it for sew
-eral years, the state of lehargic mentali-
ty which gradually comes upon me to
hinder me IN my studies, the general
lassitude and indisposition to any sort
of effort which possessed me, ought to
have been sufficient warning.
But 1 disregarded them till my physi-
clan told me a few months ago that I
must give up coffee or quit college. I
could hesitate no longer, and at once
abandoned coffee
drink Postum, and rejoice to tell you
that with the drug in coffee (the same
found in rea) re
moved and the healthful properties of
Postum in its place I was soon reliev-
ed of all my ailments
The headaches and nervousness dis
appeared entirely, strength came back
to me, and my complexion which had
been very, very bad, cleared up beauti-
fully.
Better than all. my mental faculties
were toned up, and became more vigor-
Gus than ever, and now feel that no
course of study would be too difficult
for me-" Name given by Postum Co.,

pretty 15-year-old Florence Whaley,
daushter of Mrs. George Whaley, a

her mother and told her what she had
done and asked forgiveness.

VIII Not Allow Drinking of Liquor on
Railway Trains.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 2c-AI drinking
on trains in Nebraska was ordered
stopped by the supreme court Of Ne
braska, which issued an injunction pre-
venting the serving of any kind of Ii
quid on dining cars. The injunction
applies to the Union Pacific and Bur

the order rather than attempt to fight
the application for an injunction in
their cases. The state laws also pro-
hibit any one taking a private bottle
on the train and drinking therefrom.

Los Angeles. Calf, Jan. 2O.-If
Jack johnson is looking for added no
toriety at the expense Of Jim Jeffries.
he is going to be a sorely disappointed
champion.
So long as johnson INDUCES in his
present plan of long distance shooting
the only thing he will get out of the
big Spring street cafe owner will be
silence. However. should Jack be so
indiscreet as to come to Los Angeles
and repeat some of his recent utter

fat forefinger showed straight into
his best eye.
In Chicago last wednesday night
johnson made Jeffries the target for
his daily verbal attack, among other
sarcastic shafts being a blazer to the
effect that Jeff quit at Reno. He was
not out he simply logged it." John
son then added. I'm bet Jeffries just
$4,000 that he can't stay ten rounds
with me-"
When Jim arrived at his place OF
business he found his private office
crowded with a flock of indignant
friends and several sharp nosed news
scouts looking for a sensational inter
view.

result Johnson got a lot of advertising
at the expense of Corbetts name.
