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 a burden and q
drag to mo 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.
I was reluctant to conclude that
conee was the cause of my trouble, but
l am thankful that l found out the
truth.
Then determined to use Postum
exclusively-for q week at first-for
doubted my ability to do without cot.
Zee for any length Of time. l made
the Postum carefully. a. directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a 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 did for,
nine months. finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My Indigestion grad
ualiy left me. my sleep returned,
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became q blessing.
Then I thought I would try coffee
again. and did SO for few weeks. The
punishment for deserting my good

troubles.

tered when the patients kidneys failed
to respond to treatment.
Hypodermic medication was en-
ployed today to ease suffering and
this produced complete unconscious
ness. Dr. Peck this afternoon gave
up all hope for Sherman's recovery,
when he posted the following bulle-
tin:
"The vice-president is gradually
failing. He may die at any moment,
The end may come tonight, tomorrow,
or it may be "a hours hence. Sher-
man practically has been unconscious
since yesterday afternoon, when he
went to sleep at O'Clock. He has
been in q comatose condition since"
At 2:4O o'clock this afternoon Dr.
Peck stated that Sherman was sinking
rapidly. The heart action indicated,
he said, that the end was not far off.
Mrs. Sherman and her three sons
were in a room adjoining the sick
chamber awaiting to be summoned.

man was still alive with no change in
his condition except that he was grad

Lives for
Orphans
Six Noble Women Bravely Go
TO Death in Order to Save
the Lives Of the Children
Left in Their Care

San Antonio, Texas, Oct 30.--
Bravely going to their death that their
little charges might be saved, the lives
Of six nuns caretakers Of st, Johns
orphan asylum here, were sacrificed
early in a fire which destroyed the
building. Two children also perished
in the flames.
Up to noon the bodies Of three sisters
and those Of the two children had not
been recovered. The fire started at
4:3O o'clock this morning, from an
unknown cause, and spread rapidly.
The dead nuns are Sisters Frances
Posteur, Petera Stevens, Leacodia No
Ian, Monica Moness, Mary Kotsa and
Mary of the Cross
Died with the Child.
Mary of the Cross, the mother SUI
perior Of the institution, gave up her
life in futile effort to save a child
She was standing outside Of the struc-
ture, when she heard baby scream,
She rushed into the building and ap-
peared at a window a moment later
with 2-year-old baby in her arms.
Fire Chief Wright put up ladder, but
before II reached the window the floor
collapsed and Mother Mary and the
child fell back into the flames,
Ninety Children Saved.
The names of the children who lost
their lives have not been learned.
About 80 boys and girls, whose ages
range from two to y years, were
housed in the orphanage The flames
spread so rapidly that they were cut
off from the fire escapes. A wild
rush for the windows and stairways
was made, the sisters heroically at
tempting to save their charges. Fire
nets were spread, the sisters forget
ting themselves entirely, urging the
children TO jump. More than score
of them escaped in this way. AS the
last child was leaving the building
the walls collapsed,
The Nuns Brave Work.
The fire had attained great head
way before It was discovered, The
sisters quietly awakened the children,
and, marshalling them in the halls,
led them to the windows to jump into
the nets.
Father Duffy and Father Hum did
splendid work, repeatedly dashing in
to the flames That az but two Of the
children were saved is due to the
heroism Of the nuns, only two Of whom
escaped The charred bodies of the
remaining victims were recovered this
I afternoon.
Miss e. Standing and Miss DeTem-
pie, employed at the orphanage, were
badly burned.
One Of the boys who perished was
named Charles Mothlow, aged years.
The name Of the other orphan killed
has not been learned.
