as the poison (caffeine) contained in
these beverages acts with more po-
tency in some persons than in others.
II was never a coffee drinker,"
writes an Ill. woman, "but a tea drink
er. l was very nervous, had frequent
spells of sick headache and heart
trouble, and was subject at times to
severe attacks of bilious collie.
"No end of sleepless nights-would
have spells at night when my right
side would get numb and tingle like a
thousand needles were pricking my
flesh. At times could hardly put my
tongue out of my mouth and my right
eye and ear were affected.
"The doctors told me to quit using
tea, but thought could not live with
out it-that it was my only stay. I
had been tea drinker for twenty-five
years; was under the doctors care for
fifteen.
About six months ago, finally quit
tea and commenced to drink Postum.
Il have never had one spell of sick
headaches since and only one light
attack of bilious collie. Have quit hav-
ing those numb spells at night, sleep

Fred took his seat on the cart with
elation and confidence.
Anyone could drive a horse like
that" he thought as he looked at the
mute companion of his toll. Don't

him running"
1t was easy enough, the work, and,
aside from the dirt and the CRIME, it
was not unpleasant. Then, some time
the second day-tradition does not say
exactly what hour it was-an inspira-
ton came to the horse-an intuitive
knowledge that the man at the end of
the reins was greenhorn; that he
didn't really know anything about a
horse and therefore had no right to be
driving one. The horse accordingly
pricked up his ears and-with speed
that belied his worn appearance
dashed away, with poor Fred Under
wood helplessly tugging at the reins.
When Fred gathered himself to-
gether after the runaway and went to
the foreman to report the mishap he
was convinced that his services would

An unexpected greeting was in store
