A Century Aoo.

One hundred years ago saw the end
OF the Chatillon congress which had
been endeaVoring to settle upon terms
Of peace between France and the ma.
t1ons allied against her. From the be-
ginning Of the negotiations little hope
had been entertained on either side
that an agreement would be reached.
Napoleon consented to give up West
phalia, Holland and Spain, to restore
the pope Of Rome and Ferdinand VII
to Madrid. He agreed to give up
Malta to England, as well as most of
her colonial conquests. But he re-
manned steadfast in claiming for
France her natural limits, the Rhine
and the Alps. The plenipotentiaries,
deciding that further discussion would
be useless, declared the negotiations
at an end, and the allied armies pre-
pared to resume their march on Paris.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is a disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one Of the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. It kills
In our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two~consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, IL discovered early, 80 it is well
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
q dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
Of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciat-
ica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

CLEVER WIFE
Knew How to Keep Peace In Family

1t is quite significant, the number OF
persons who get well Of alarming
heart trouble when they let up on cof-
fee and use Postum as the beverage at
meals.
There is nothing surprising about 1t,
however, because the harmful alkaloid

Postum, which is made of cAean, hard
wheat.
1.-TWO years ago 1 was having SO
much trouble with my heart" writes
a lady in Washington, that at times
l felt quite alarmed. My husband took
me to a specialist to have my heart
examined.
1.-The doctor said he could find no
organic trouble but said my heart was
irritable from something had been
accustomed to, and asked me to try
and remember what disagreed with
me.
II remembered that coffee always
soured on my stomach and caused me
trouble from palpitation of the heart
So stopped coffee and began to use
Postum. have had no further
trouble since.
"a neighbor Of ours, an old man,
was so irritable from drinking coffee
that his wife wanted him to drink
Postum. This made him very angry,
but his wife secured some Postum and
made it carefully according to direc-
tions.
''He drank the Postum and did not
know the difference, and is still using
it to his lasting benefit He tells his
wife that the coffee is better than It
used to be, so she smiles with him and
keeps peace in the family by serving
Postum instead of coffee"
