AN OLD NURSE
Persuaded Doctor to Drink Postum.

An old faithful nurse and an eYper-
fenced doctor, are a pretty strong com
bination in favor of Postum, instead
of tea and coffee.
The doctor said:
i began TO drink Postum five years
ago on the advice of an old nurse.
During an unusually busy winter,
between coffee, tea and overwork,
became a victim of insomnia. In
month after beginning Postum, in
place of tea and coffee, | could eat
anything and sleep as soundly as

In three months | had gained TWEEN

fee; even at bedtime with a soda
cracker or some other tasty biscuit

ties, used small quantity of saCchar-
inc instead of sugar, to sweeten with
| may add that today tea or coffee are
never present in our house and very
many patients. on my advice, have
adopted Postum as their regular bev-

that, as a refreshing, nourishing and
nerve-strengthening beverage, there is
nothing equal to Postum"

CRUST COVERED BOYS HEAD

Bolton, Ga.-"My little boys head
was covered with hard thick crust
which cracked with the least pressure
causing a discharge of bloody corrup-
ton which was SO offensive that
could hardly hold him. He was very
cross. Some called it milk crust,
another running letter and another &c
zema.
After trying several patent medi-
cines | decided to try Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. After using the sample
l purchased some Cuticura Soap and a
box OF Cuticura Ointment. After US
ing Cuticura Soap and Ointment three
days | was able to remove all the
crust and in one week he was entirely
cured. Cuticura Soap and Ointment
also cured my baby of an liberated
sore behind her ear and now we think
we cannot keep house without them p"

GOT OUT THROUGH SKYLIGHT
Brooklyn Woman, Locked in Office
Building, Left by the Roof In

A prisoner in her ladies tailoring

building at 40 East Broadway, New
York, Mrs. NJ w. Winston, weight
$50 pounds, was eventually rescued
few days ago from her predicament
by two firemen, a policeman and
janitor, who lowered ropes from the
roof of the building through the sky
light
Mrs. Winston. whose home is at
195 De kalb avenue Brooklyn, went
to her shop in the morning to finish
some work, and requested the janitor
to leave the front door open so she
could get out. The ianitor forgot his
instructions and Mrs Winston found
the door on the lower floor locked
when she wanted to leave.
AS she realized there was no other
method of getting out she attractt d
crowd by pounding on the glass
panels of the door, but the spectators
were unable to understand her pre-
dicament. She then returned to the
fifth floor, wrote note explaining
she was locked in and threw it out
the window
The crowd read it and offered sug-
gestions, while "a more thoughtful
person hurried to Engine Company
No. 9, on East Broadway, and explain
&c the situation to the firemen. Vol

the room and after considerable per.

The three men then pulled and fin

Stephens was pulled up later. After
