UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.

Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This Is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as Ia
often the case with talented persons.
There is simple, easy way to get
rid of coffee troubles and a Tenn.
lady's experience along these lines ts
worth considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning Of the
use of coffee 1t hurt my stomach. BY
the time l was fifteen / was almost
q nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything
could eat that would agree with me-
The little / did eat seemed to give
me more trouble than it was worth. !
was literally starving; was so weak
could not sit up long at time.
at was then a friend brought me q
hot cup of Postum. / drank part OF 1t
and after an hour I felt as though I
had had something to eat - felt
STRENGTHENED. That was about I'VE
years ago. and after continuing Post
UNI in place Of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, today / can eat and
digest anything / want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
Fl believe the first thing that did
me any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and use 1t alto
gether now instead Of coffee"
Name given by the Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes In two forms:
Regular Postum must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is a soluble pow.
der A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
in cup Of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-
age instantly. 30c and SOC tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds Ia
about the same.

EXPLOSION; 2 KILLED. DYING.
FIRE CHIEF AND ONE ASSISTANT
DEAD AT DAWSON, MINI.
Four Buildings Destroyed at Loss of
$4,000 in Fire Which Breaks
Out as Result.

DawSon.-Two firemen were killed,
one very likely was fatally hurt and
two others injured as the result Of
fire and explosion which destroyed
four buildings, forced several others
out of line and shattered $4,000 worth
of plate glass windows in ,.tB tusi-
ness part of this town. The total Nes
will probably exceed 100000.
The dead are: Fire Chief Elmer
Thompson and Herbert Farmer.
Marvin E. Jacobson was fatally in
jured.
The other injured are: Arthur Krei-
sci, struck in head by falling stone;
John C. Hanson, wrist nearly severed
by broken glass.
The explosion occurred at o'clock
in the morning, awakening the towns
people from their slumbers and being
distinctly heard by farmers six miles
away.
Flames broke out Immediately fol-
lowing the blast and spread rapidly
in spite of the best efforts of the VOL
unteer fire department, which wac
early on the scene. Fire Chief Thomp.
son was one of the first to arrive whep
the alarm was turned in. He was
standing in front of the building occu-
pied by the Holtan restaurant, when
the explosion occurred, lifting the en-
tire roof from the building and bury
ing Thompson in the debris.
Herbert Farmer, another volunteer
fireman, was struck in the head by a
falling brick, dying almost instantly.
The flames spread rapidly to adjoin-
ing buildings and soon the whole
block was in flames.
Matt Wire, the local miller, who
lived in apartments over the Holtan
restaurant, managed to get his wife,
two daughters and son out of tho
building with difficulty. The flames
were then playing along the north
wall of the building
The fire department was powerless
to stay the work of the flames, which
soon reached the J. E. Lund Hard
ware store, adjoining. and from there
spread to the Citizens State bank and
the Jackson & Emerson's Merchan-
disc store. The four buildings de-
stroyed represent less of $4,000.
The loss on the stock and fixtures will
reach $4,000, all of which is partly
covered ty insurance.
The cause of the fire is matter of
conjecture, but is believed to have
been caused by charge of nitro-gly-
cerine or gun-cotton. The fire mar.
shal's office has been notified and an
investigation may be ordered.
