Invalid Once, a Happy Woman Now.
Mrs. C. R. Shelton, Pleasant Street,

neemed a helpless in-
valid, but now I en-
joy the best of health.
Kidney disease

ribly. Rheumatic
aches and pains made
every move painful.
The secretions were
disordered and my head ached to dis-
traction. 1 was in a bad condition, but
medicines failed to help. I lost ground

Pills. They helped me at once and
I «oon made me strong and well."

"Let the youngsters have their ro-
mance—an' it'll be all the better for i
'ent ef they git a purty good dose on
It; but don't hide from 'cm the fact
that thar's somethin' in the shape of
trouble a waitin' fer 'em up the road,"
said Mr. Hilly Sanders. "Not big trou-
ble, tooby shore, but jest big enough
to make 'em stick closer together. It j
ain't no use to try to rub out the fact
that life is what it is. It s full of j
rough places, an' thar are times when
you have to leave the big road an'
take a short-cut through the bamboo
briers for to keep from sllppin' in a
mudhole. The briers hurt, but the
mudhole mought smifflicate you. It
ain't no use to deny it, trouble is sea-
sonin'. I never know'd it to hurt any-
body but the weak-minded, the willful
an' them that was born to the purple."

pa a few months ago, when liiy health
and strength were all gono, and I wm
nothing but a nervous wreck, could
not sleep, eat or rest properly, and felt

Uncle Sam Starts a Crusade on Flies
U
N'CLIO SAM is busy these days
counting house flies. lie has
>t.tried a sort of fly census for the pur
1 ose of ascertaining the relationship
between the little buzzing pests and
typhoid fever. It is believed by some
agricultural department entomologists
that flies do an awful lot towards
spreading typhoid germs around—in
tact, several of them have been caught
with the goods.
The plan, therefore, is to catch lite
wicked little insects, count 'em. aad
compile a lot of data for comparison
with statistics furnished by the health
department a to the prevalence of
typhoid fever in localities where cap
lures are made. The tl> census has,
therefore, been inaugurated in Wash-
ington and Pittsburg and may be ex-
tended to other cities.
Dr. L. (). Howard, chief entomologist
of the department of agricuture, is in
charge of the fly-paper squad, which
posts sheets of good old sticky stuff
around in public places and gathers
them in again after captures of IS
hours have been made.
The greatest number of flies that
have been enumerated at one haul so
far is 2.' 00. gathered at the I'nited
States arsenal, an engineer post on the
Potomac river.
The experts carefully count the vic-
tims, determine the length of time
they have been dead, search them for
germs, and do various other funny
things that eventually may mean a lot
in convicting Mr. Fly of transplanting
disease As soon as returns are In
from the great "fly center"—Pittsburg
—there may be some interesting data
to give out.

WIFE WON
tiusoand Finally Convinced.
Some men are wise enough to try
,< w foods and beverages and then gen-
rous enough to give otacrs the bene-
fit of their experience.
A very "conservative' ills, man,
however, let his good wife find out for
herself what a blessing Dostum is to
those who are distressed in many
ways, by drinking coffee. The wife
writes;
"No slave in chains, it seemed to
me, was more helpless than I. a coffee
captive. Yet there were innumerable
warnings-—waking from a troubled
sleep with a feeling of suffocation, at
times dizzy and out of breath, at-
tacks of palpitation of the heart that
frightened me.
"Common sense, reason, and my
hotter judgment told me that coffee
drinking was the trouble. At last my
nervous system was so disarranged
that my physician ordered 'no move
coffee.'
"He knew h^ was right and he knew
I knew 11, too. I capitulated. Prior
to this our family had tried Post tint,
but disliked it. because, as we learned
later, it was not made right.
"Determined this time togivePost-
um a fair trial. I prepared it accord-
ing to directions on the pUg.—that Is, ;
boiled it 15 minutes after boiling com-
menced, obtaining a dark brown liquid
with a rich snappy flavor similar to
coffee. When cream and sugar were
added, it was not only good but de-
■ iicious.
"Noting its beneficial effects in me
! the rest of the family adopted it—all
except my husband, who would not ad-
' mit thai coffee hurt him. Several
' weeks elapsed during which I drank
Postum two or three times a day.
when, to my surprise, liiy husband
said; '1 have decided to drink Postum.

have such fine color—tnat I propose
! to give credit w here creaii. Is due.' And
now we are coffee-slaves no longer.
