A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of IiIs-

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
i'll, 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 a
drag to me all the time, and about
once year my ailments got such hold
upon me that 1 was regularly sick in
bed for several weeks each time.
Il was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
1 am thankful that l found out the
truth.
Then l determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at first-for 1
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length of time l made
the Postum carefully, as 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, l resolved
to continue the use of Postum. cutting
out the coffee entirely. This l did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned, /
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh, rosy
hue and life became blessing.
Then 1 thought l would try coffee
again, and did SO for few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum. was a return OF my old,
troubles.
That taught me wisdom, and am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
using Postum exclusively and enjoy
ing the benefits it brings me-" Name

Bank Checks In Austria.

Banks of Austria are exempt from
liability. for payment Of checks and
bills OF exchange to parties who may
have acquired unlawful possession OF
the same and forged the Endorsements
thereon. The banks are not compelled
to identify the bearer, and instances
occur Of such commercial papers being
stolen and cashed with forged indorse-
ment, leaving the owner without re-
dress. 4 check or bill Of exchange,
therefore. though payable to order and
not indorsed Is a dangerous form for
the remittance Of money. Liability
for payment on a forged Endorsement IS
incurred by bank only when it is pre-
sumed to have knowledge OF the
payee's signature, as in the case OF
we'll known clients.

Ped Tame and a Murderer.

This is a tale Of a self confessed mur-
derer who wished to be arrested, as
related By writer in LIE Matin, Paris.
Some time ago a man named Berges
was stabbed to death at Algiers. Three
men were arrested on suspicion, but
as they proved their innocence they
were released and the matter was
she!ved. 4 few days afterward man
called at the Office Of the loca! police
commissary and said to that official:
"My name is Marius Yvorra. I killed
Berges. and this is how did It"
The commissary listened to the
mans confession and said:
"You had better see my secretary"
The secretary also listened to the
mans confession and after a little re-
fection said:
"Now, look here, my good man; this
Is not the way to get arrested. You
must write US a letter confirming the
oral statement made to us. Then we
shall be able to attend to you. Now,
get along"

Blind Arabs of the Desert.

The Arabs have saying to the ef-
feet that when you travel through the
country of the blind be ind>yourself,'
and, though, like all proverbs, it is
doubtless not intended to be taken
literally, still the malady of blindness
is so common in Algeria. especially
among the tribes that inhabit the oases
of the Sahara, that the traveller may
almost stop and ask himself if he has
indeed come to that country of the
blind. The prevalence Of eye disease
is due perhaps to the intense dazzling
brilliance Of the desert sun and to that
complete absence Of shade which must
be endured by the wandering Saharan.
The Arabs are normally very kind and
respectful to the aged or infrm, and
