SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid Of "Coffee Habit

The injurious action Of coffee on the
hearts OF many persons Is we'll known
by physicians to be caused by caffeine.
This is the drug found by chemists in
coffee and tea.
A woman suffered q long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cof-
fee. as that was the principal cause OF
the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak It could not

ticket instead OF to the real winner.
So between Mr.. Eagan and the pool

be devised. Thereafter tickets were
printed in several colors, according to
the number Of the ticket. That is. all
tickets numbering between one and a
hundred should be pink, all between

and so on throughout the list. Each
day a different color was used for a
different set of numbers. and as this
code was communicated secretly to
the poolroom men 1t was hoped that in
this way they could detect the fraudu-
lent tickets.
Still the trouble continued. Appar-
emily the dishonest printer printed his
slips on every color of cardboard
every day. Then when the races were
over the mao who manipulated the
fraudulent tickets would manage to
see over the shoulder of the holder Of
the winning ticket. note the number
and the color, select a ticket of the

senting It to the bOokmaker or pool

Something had to be done and 1t
was clearly up to Eagan to think what
it should be.

For Acid Stomachs

The almost universal use Of magnesia

cause of nearly all stomach troubles
OF the many forms OF magnesia such
as oxides, citrates, ca.hea3.es, sub

ing specialists, is bisuratsd magnesia, a
teaspoonful Of which in q little warm
water Immediately after eating will In
stantly neutralize the acid, stop fer

taken to get bisuratsd magnesia, as its
action Is infinitely more effective. It is

Mcbride & Will Drug CO., or druggists
in convenient compressed tablets, az

Stomach sufferers and dyspeptics who
follow this plan and avoid the use of

its normal tone. and can do It's worn
