COFFEE THRESHED HER.
is Long Years.

"For over fifteen years." writes q
patient, hopeful little Ills. woman,
while a coffee drinker, l suffered from
Spinal Irritation and Nervous trouble.
I was treated by good physicians, but
did not get much relief.
81 never suspected that coffee might
be aggravating by condition. (Tea Is
Just as injurious. because 1t contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof-
fee.) I was d~own-hearted and dis
couraged, but prayed daily that I
might find something to help me.
Several years ago. while at a
friends house / drank a cup Of Post
UNI and though / had never tasted
anything more delicious.
From that time on I used Postum
instead Of coffee and soon began to
improve in health, 80 that now I can
walk half a dozen blocks or more with
ease, and do many other things that
never thought / would be able to do
again in this world.
my appetite is good, I sleep well
and find life is worth living. A lady
Of ny acquaintance said she did not
like Postum, It was 80 weak and taste
less.
81 explained to her the difference
when 1t Is made right-boiled accord

know this because coffee did not agree
with her. Now her folks say they

REALLY NAMED FOR STATE
Mississippi River Steamers Originated
Cognomen That Has Now Be-
come Universal.

On the Mississippi river in olden
days the passenger steamboats, were
very ornate affairs. vying with each
other in garish glory. One owner hit
on the idea of naming his steam
boats cabins instead OF numbering
them. So he named them In honor OF
the states of the union, each having
above the door the gilt title Of some
state, the big central cabin being call
ed the Texas" after the largest state.
Other boat owners took up the idea,
and thus the word cabin was grad
ually a%lternated by state" room. For
years the best cabin was still known
as the Texas. Then that sobriquet died
with the ebbing glory Of the old river
steamers. But the word "stateroom'
became incorporated into our Ian
guage, and In time wen broke into the
dictionary, as does many another
catch phrase. Not one person In a thou
sand WHO occupies a stateroom knows
the term once meant "a room named
for a state"

Nearly everybody is obliged more or
less to take a laxative. There are OF
course a few exceptions. A great many
people also need occasionally to take a
tonic. Probably few households exist
that do not make use of tonies n
laxatives.
The remedy Peruna is a laxative
tonic. It not only operates as a gentle
laxative, but also as a tonic.
The benefit derived from such a
remedy is a great deal more in the
prevention Of disease than in the cure
After a person has really become sick
either with an acute or chronic all
ment, the rule should be to employ q
physician, or some one who can give the
case his personal attention. But long be

A TONIC
Pe.ru.na, an Up-to-Date Family Medicine That
Should Be In Every Home

sease has really gained q foothold In the
system, a person was to take a dose or two
of a good tonic laxative the great major
ity of cases of sickness would be pre-
vented.
Peruna is a remedy that should be kept
in the house. Its virtue as . preventive
to disease is the thing I wish chiefly to
emphasize.
A slight condition Of constipation may
lead to serious sluggishness Of the bowels,
b~iliousness, transcription of poisonous ma.
terial and finally sickness. Or apathy OF
the stomach in which the food is not rel
ished, may gradually lead to atomic dyspep-
| STA or to the acquisition OF some acute dis
ease. For either one of these conditions
a few doses of the tonic laxative Pcruna
would set matters right. This is why the
| remedy should always be kept handy by.
When once the value of Peruna as q
household remedy is understood no home
would be without it. Cathartics, pills and
powders would be discarded. Irritating
tonics would be no longer taken. Alco-
holic drinks would have no place. With a
few doses of Peruna q vigorous appetite is
produced and if there be any s~luggishness
Of the bowels their function is gradually
restored.
Most la1atives are weakening in their
effect. A tonic laxative guards against
this weakening effect. Until right living
has become 80 thoroughly established that
all medicines are superiuous, Peruna will
be needed. 1t is exactly the remedy that
meets numerous necessities Of the house
hold. Sold at all drug stores.

No man ever acted with better pa

President Wilson when he made the

For months this great subject was

they were aided and abbetted by just

the country was waiting anxiously for
this legislation ana was suffering un-

II there is any blame for taking the
currency bin into caucus that blame
should rest not on the president but
on the forces that previously blocked

who lack the brains and CUTS Of real
manhood and are used by the masters
of privilege to flimflam the people
into error and disaster.
In asking for caucus action on the

the same justification as a policeman
who draws his club when he finds
himself surrounded by gang Of
thieves and cutthroats who seek his
destruction. The country will forgive
him.

Pendleton's health regulations as we

better. Whose fault this is the East
Oregonian does not know. 1t may be

physician or 1t may be in the police.
But one fact is plain and it is that
sufficient vigor is not shown in the
