EYE STRAIN Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are caused by the habitual use of coffee.
 It is said that in Arabia where cof- fee Is used in large quantities. many lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea contains the same drug. caffeine. as coffee.
 A N. J. woman writes to the point concerning eye. trouble and coffee She says:
 My son was for years troubled with his eyes. He tried several kinds of glasses without relief. The optician said there was a defect in his eyes which was hard to reach.
 He used to drink coffee, as we all did, and finally quit 1t and began to use Postum. That was three years ago and he has not had to wear glasses and has had no trouble with his eyes since.
 T Twas always fond of tea and coffee and finally became so nervous could hardly sit still long enough to eat . meal. My heart was in such con dition I thought might die at any time.
 Medicine did not give. me relief and I was almost desperate. It was about this time we decided to quit cot fee and use Postum. and have used it ever since. am in perfect health. No trouble now with my heart and never felt better in my life.

 hills quickly grow into mountains. here tree-clad and beautiful. Again a turn. and again the scene changes, for now the heights become rugged and steep, and immense clefts, straight as though cut with gigantic knife, sep arate them. Down each of these clefts tumbles sparkling, roistering little cataract that from distance looks like a thread of frosted silver. Dur ing centuries of earnest effort the larg- CT of these streams have deposited at their mouths little triangular patches of gravelly soil, and on almost every patch some wise man has built an at- tractive summer residence and sur rounded 1t with pretty trees and shrubs. To be sure, his front yard Is usually a series of steps, and his kitch- en garden is made on shelves, but that only adds to the charm.
 The boat now approaches the Mar rows, where the mountains on each shore seem to lean toward each other and their giant reflections almost fill the lake. For the right bank now has become as precipitous as the left, and for some miles is an almost bare. steep slope of peculiar formation hay ing the appearance of bubbly, bill lowy cascade of mud suddenly hard ened into stone.
 In the background snow capped peaks now appear, and the nearer sum- mits are tortured into fantastic shapes ever changing and so fascinating that one never tires of looking at them. At Twenty-Five Mile creek Nature gives you respite, for there the mountains recede bit and permit large circu- lar opening of bench land, spot of exquisite beauty. But at once the steamer carries you on to scenes that are unrivalled for grandeur, sliding along under the walls of Round noun tain. This is bare bluff rising from an imposing precipice, it's dry face gashed by chasms and crossed by great rock terraces. Here the lake bottom Is at it's deepest-1,419 feet be- low the surface, or $40 feet below sea level.
 Next Black Cap claims your atten- tion and admiration, towering, round ed rock faced into a bald bluff and 
 a dozen more heights as grand and imposing. Where Fish creek flows in from the east is a long point of sandy soil where an enticing fishing resort has been built, but the boat stops only | a moment, and soon after you come to the north end of this wonderful lake and to Stehekin Really Stehekin con l sists only of a hotel-and a very good l one-and the home of a park ranger Whether you want to or not, you must ! remain there over night, and you do not regret it.

 | Rainbow Falls is as pretty a water fall as one would wish to see. Straight down from the brow of cliff 300 feet high plunges little mountain stream, into self-made basin from which it overfows in another fall to it's rocky bed in the Stehekin valley.
