One afternoon, the governor said,

stomach was empty, and that he
would feel better if he had something

FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such a bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him l felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1t was a struggle, because of the
powerful habit One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try it
and then it was easy TO leave of
coffee.

frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last

Stars Ear Hotter Than Sun.

The temperature of seventy stars
has been calculated by a German
astronomer from comparisons of the
differences of intensity in different
portions Of the suns spectrum. One
star, Gamma Pegasi, seems TO have
the inconceivable heat of more than
100000 degrees c. The next is much
cooler Gamma Cassiopeiae at $4,000
degrees; but this is vastly hotter
than Alpha Tauri, the coolest, at 115O
degrees. by the same scale of com
putation the temperature of our sun
is found to be 1850 degrees. The
hottest stars are the helium stars,
