Everybody in Middle Bay knew that
Mrs. Captain Liscomb was talking
about making visit to her married

the great event from month to month.

whether II would ever come to pass

TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of tIis.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
Ill, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
Il am "a years DID," she says, have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from Indigestion and
insomnia. Life was burden and
drag to me all the time, and about
once year my ailments got such hold
upon me that was regularly sick IN
bed for several weeks each time.
II was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
am thankful that found out the
truth.
Then determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at first-for
doubted my ability to do without cof-
Zee for any length Of time. l made
the Postum carefully, as directed. and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good. that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished. resolved
to continue the use of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This I did for
nine months, finding, daily increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My Indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned, l
gained rs pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to fresh, rosy
hue and life became a blessing.
Then thought would try coffee
again. and did SO for few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was return of my old
troubles.
THAT taught me wisdom. and am
now and shall be all my life hereafter

CHECK ON DREAD DISEASE
Iowa Professor Has Plan he 6e
ileves viii Control Tuberculosis
in Animals.

DR.. Burton r. Rogers, Ames. Ia.
who was for number OF years an
Inspector Of meats for the United
States government, is trying to induce
the federal authorities to adopt
method for discovering tuberculosis In
cattle, which, he says, will result In
locating all the diseased animals in
the country within year. His plan
is to have every man who sends hogs
to market to have his name and ad-
dress on tag fastened to the hog
ear Doctor Rogers said:
Very few hogs live longer than a
year. A 200-pound hog Is about the
weight at which they are shipped to
market. All of them are examined by
government inspectors, but under the
present system of inspection no one
knows where a diseased hog comes
from.
Tuberculosis in hogs Is not dan
gerous to those using the meat be-
cause 1t Is subjected to heat before be-
ing eaten, and a very little heat Is
sufficient to kill the germs. But while
the life Of the hog is short, the life
OF the COW Is comparatively long.
There is no way OF learning II COW
is infected with the disease except by
technical examination.
1T Is the custom to have the cattle
and the hogs live together as close
neighbors. and so when COW becomes
diseased the hogs remain healthy but
a short time. Now, the life Of a COW
is about ten years. and she may have
tuberculosis nearly all her life and no
body know anything Of It. But hog
that has lived near her for a few
months will surely get the disease.
and by the scheme | suggest this hog
could be made to carry the tale of
the sick cattle to the inspectors"
