Describing An Attack BY Mexi-

Suffolk, Va. B. L. Dejarnette,
superintendent of public instruction
for the county of Nansemond, received
letter from his brother, J. D. Cole
man Dejarnette, written two days be-
fore the writer's death, which occurred
In hospital in Los Angeles, Cal. The

tails until he received the letter today,
written by his brother from the hos
pitaI, in which he predicted his death.
It appears that he was member of
q company of q Americans who were
engaged in mining proposition and
looking after oil interests of an Ameri-
can corporation in Mexico. In his let
ter he told how the little band of 27
were attacked by Mexicans and driven
from the country. To the best of his
knowledge only five escaped with their

Many pale, sickly persons wonder
for years why they have to suffer so,

Of the trouble.

and drank it every day. 1 never had
much flesh and often wondered why
was always so pale, thin and weak.
"About five years ago my health
completely broke down and was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time I was drinking
coffee, didn't think I could do without
It.
"After awhile came to the conclu.
sion that coffee was hurting me, and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
When it was made right-dark and
rich-I soon became very fond of 1t.

Best Of Fire Alarm Boxes,

After work extending over two
years, officials of New York city have
devised a fire alarm box which has
been dedicated to the use of New
York without royalty, and it is ex-
pected that the cost under competitive
bidding will not exceed s45. The
price of fire alarm boxes during the
last several years under competitive
bidding has run from SIS to SITS each.
The average price has been $125 each.
The estimated saving, therefore, will
be $50 a box. The fire department
experts have finished their box just
in time to meet the needs of the city,
as only six per cent. of the boxes are
modern, the rest being obsolete and
many being in an unsafe and even
dangerous condition.
