LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the clouds
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
ience and tells about it, in a letter. He
says:
For about forty years, l have had
Indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 20
years would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
The best doctors / could get and
all the medicines l could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results. | could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out of my body.
Il came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that l was
about wound up, when l saw Postum
advertisement. | had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead of
coffee and in less than three weeks l
felt like new man. The rheumatism
left me, and have never had spell
of bilious collie since.
MY appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and l can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since l be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and l relish it

ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Mo.-"My trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half OF
the time there were running sores
around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at time before they

suffering. The sores were deep run

bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and

cording to a report of State Coal
Mine Inspector Dalrymple. The total
production for the year is 5,S79,S15
tons. There is a shortage of miners
in the state. according to the report.
There is a decrease of 141,677 tons
in the production for the present year
under that Of 1912. due to the scar
city of men. 1t is believed that with
settling of conditions which ap-
pears probable the decrease will be
made up before the end OF the year.
The exact production of coal for
July was 759,934 tons. The coke pro-
ducticn for the month was S3,609 tons
with total tonnage for the year OF
600.04G.
There was an average daily employ
ment throughout the state OF 1880

DEVELOPMENT OF THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL

The history of the house is a piano.

The beginning of the house was the
idea that the savage mother had to
protect her baby. The bare earth
might serve her, but the infant must
have something better, so began the
development of the house,
We find the stone era, etc, each tell

grown a sense of comfort and duty
(which is an important group, develop
ment or evolution of the family.
| The house has grown as man adj
vanced from the savage state to the
higher forms, so the house has grown
from the hut to our present comforta-
HE, and in many cases, palatial
dwellings.
J You may call together noted think
ers of the past, solving woncerful
things in hut, cell, or dungeon, but
can you imagine thinkers as Pasteu9
and Edison under such conditions?
Should Ruskin, Emerson or Glad
stone be suddenly placed in small
hut, with no other conveniences than
those of the struggling cave dwellers,
one of two things would have result
! ed; either in the carrenness of such
existence, or their souls would have
shrunken and lost that which genera
tons have profited and made happy
by, or they would have wrested better
conditions from circumstances. (E&-

The living organism must either

The house is a manufactured arti-

a part of human life as feathers are OF

The house is not only the result of
character, but determines character.

might call it a pure theoretical pro-
