SHE QUIT COFFEE
And Much Good Came From II.

1t is hard to believe that coffee will
put a person in such a condition as 1t
did a woman Of Apple Creek. o. She
tells her own story:
81 did not believe coffee caused my
trouble, and frequently said l liked
It so well l would not quit drinking 1t.
even II it took my life, but l was a
miserable sufferer from heart trouble
and nervous prostration for four years.
81 was scarcely able to go around at
all. Had no energy. and did not care
for anything. Was emaciated and had
a constant pain around my heart until
l thought | could not endure 1t. j
felt as though l was liable to die any
time.
Frequently had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would up
set me terribly. l was gradually get.
ting worse until finally one day, II
came over me, and 1 asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine 80 that
can indulge myself in coffee?
80 l thought would see II could
quit drinking coffee. and got some
Postum to help me quit. made 1t
strictly according to directions. and
1 want to tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because l had the
Postum which like better than
liked the old coffee. One by one the
old troubles left, until now 1 am in
splendid health, nerves steady. heart
all right, and the pain all gone. Never
have any more nervous chills. don't
take any medicine, can do all my
housework. and have done great
deal besides.
my sister-in-law, who visited me
this summer had been an invalid fol-
some time, much as l was. got hel
to quit coffee and drink Postum. She
gained FIVE pounds in three. weeks
and 1 never saw such a change in any
ones health"
There's reason"
Ever read the above letteff A new
one appears from time to time. They

REMINGTON CASE.

The Forum was the first paper in
the state to voice an editorial protest
against the inexcr5able pardon II Joe
Remington. II called public atten-
ton to this prostitution of justice and
to the ill effects that would result
from such maudlin cIemency.
Columns of correspondence and
comment were given space-to show
the practical unanimity with which
the action of the pardon board was
condemned.
The resolutions of the Cass county
board Of county commissioners pro-
testing against the pardon Of Rem
ington clearly voices public sentiment
in this and other parts Of the state.
The state board of pardons will be
asked to rescind it's action and leave
Remington to serve his term. There is a
precedent for this. A young criminal
who killed a mar in Sargent county
with something like the same cruelty
that Remington murdered his victim
WAS shown clemency by the board,
The people Of Sargent county made
such a protest that the pardon vas re-
scinded.
A large petition will no doubt be
sent the pardon board in the Reming-
ton case-requesting similar action.

HEARD TWO FINE TALKS
President creeaaD and Seth Richard,
son Gave Two Fine Addresses
at Republican Meeting,

The republican mass meeting in the
auditorium of the Y. M. G. A. last
night was well attended though the
programme was not fully representa-
tive Of the entire list OF candidates
for the republican presidential nomi-
nation.
The speakers Of the evening were
Dr.. G, C. Creegan of Fargo college. and
Seth Richardson. Mr.. Richardson
was heard first on the subject Of Sen,
Robert M. LaFollette. He presented
claims OF the Wisconsin d for the
presidential nomination in a most able
and convincing manner.
Or. Creegan spoke in Col. Theodore
Roosevelt and gave an excellent ex-
position Of the work of the Oyster
Bay candidate during the years he
was president. DR.. Creegan said that
during his recent trip east he had
heard but two people say they were fol
LaFolletto and they were women who
were suffragettes and admired the
stand Of the badger senator on the
suffrage question.
At the close OF the meeting a straw
vote was taken with the result thai
| Roosevelt received 10 votes and La,
Toilette % votes, showing the La Fol
latte sentiment among those present
at the meeting was the stronger.

SATURDAY, MARCH ., 1912.
SAME oLp TRICK.

- .
w. j. Bryan-a most estimable and
clever gentleman-turned a political
trick in his Thursday night address
in Fargo. He was not expected TO
say anything that would help along
the republicans-and he didn't.
Instead he scattered a few more
seeds of misunderstanding attention
to the scrap between Taft and Roose-
velt-and setting the supporters Of
these candidates after each others
sealps.
But La Foilette-ah, there's a man
after the Nebraskan's heart-perhaps!
The peerless leader showered compli-
nents on the Wisconsin senator till
the entire eastern horizon vas a ro-
seate hue because of LaFollette's
5Iushes-and it certainly takes some
thing to make him blush.
1t was the old political trick Of run
ming down your strongest opponents
and boosting the weak ones.
Bryan knew that LaFoIlette couldn't
possibly win the republican nomina-
ESh--so he saw an opportunity to
ackle the Nortl. Dakota shouters for
fhe pompadoured individual. BY SO
doing he created more discord in the
f~epubIican ranks. Incidentally he lent
some authenticity to the rumors that
the North Dakota democrats are plan
ming to vote In blocks for LaFollette
1.-THE weakest of three candidates-to
bring further confusion on the republi-
cams.
Mi. Bryan's work was very cleverly
none. His long experience in the po'
tttical game has made him a past
master of all its tricks. Fol the pur-
pose he wished to use it-Bryan's Far.
go speech was a gem. "" II.
In the meantime the Nebraskan Is
not entirely oblivious to things thai
will advance his personal ambition
q he is not the only man in the dem
ecratic party who can get two-third'
