"My nightly rest was broken, owing
to Irregular action of tbo kidneys. I
was suffering Intensely from sevcro
pains In tho small of my back and
through tho kldnoys and annoyed by
painful passages of abnormal secre

ed this condition. I took Doan's Kid

lasting relief. Doan's Kidney Pills
will provo a blessing to all sufferers
from kidney disorders who will glvo
them a fair trial."

IN COLONEL'S TOWN
Things Happen.
From the home of tho famous "Keyh
nol Keeyartah of Cartersvllle," away
down South, comes an enthusiastic let
ter about Postum:
"I was In very delicate health, suf
fering from Indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that I could hardly
sleep. Tho doctor ordered me to dis
continue the use of tho old kind of
coffee, which was like poison to me,
producing such extreme disturbance
that I could not control myself. But
such was my love for It that I could
not get my own consent to glvo it up
for somo time, and continued to suffer,
till my father one day brought home a
package of Postum Food Coffee.
"I had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it a fair trial. It proved to have
a rich flavor and made a healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my tasto the addition of cream great
ly Improves It.
"My health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old cof
fee was removed and the Postum Cof
fee had tlmo to make its influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re
lieved and the sleep which the old cof
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after I
had drunk Postum In a very short
timo I began to sleep better than 1
bad for years before. I have now used
Postum Coffee for several years and
like it better and find it more benefi
cial than when I first began. It is an
unspeakable Joy to be relieved of the
old distress and sickness." Name

BIG TREE-PLANTING PLANS.
Pike's Peak Reserve to Have 60,000
to Save the Water.
Tho United Statos bureau of forest
ry has begun threo cxtonslvo projects
under its forestry-planting operations
for tho season. Fifty thousand trees
aro to bo planted In tho Pike's peak
forest reserve, 300.00D along tho lines
of tho Dolnwaro & Hudson River rail
road, planted in co-operation with tho
railroad company, whllo a similar co
operation with tho Northern Pacific
railroad Is under way. Tho Plko's
peak forests aro for water conserva
tion, whllo tho railroad projects aro to
Bupply crosstles for tho roads.
In co-operation with officials of
New Hampshire agents of tho bureau
of forestry havo commenced to mako
maps of tho southern part of that
Btate, which will show tho timber
land, tho agricultural land and tho
barren areas sultablo for tree-planting.
It is proposed to map 4,000 acres
this summer. Forest work In tho
stato will bo dono chiefly with tho
view of advising farmers and owners
of second-growth forest as to tho best
management for tho production of
pulpwood, boxboards, firewood, etc.
Another object Is to complete a for
est policy for tho state, covering legis
lation upon fire and forest taxation;
also a system to protect timber land
and to encourago conservative forest
management.
Under tho supervision of tho Unit
ed States bureau of forestry, a forest
of 35,000 trees has been planted on
tho slopes of tho San Gabriel moun
tains of California, for tho purpose of
conserving tho water of tho mountain
streams for Irrigation purposes. Tho
cntiro cost of raising and transplant
ing the new forest has been but fl,
485. Tho experiment, tho first of Its
kind, Is regarded as satisfactory.

MUNICH THE CITY OF BEER.
Consumption of Beverage In That
Town 700,000 Barrels a Year.
Munich is tho great beer city of the
world," said Fritz Sommorsen, Mem
phis, who has recently returned from
a continental trip. "Thero aro nearly
6,000 breweries In Bavaria, big and
little, or about one to every 1,000 In
habitants. Tho largest aro in Munich,
ono of which produces annually 7,000,
000 gallons of beer, and there aro "two
others not far "behind.
"The city of Munich drinks every
year 700,000 barrels of beer, or nearly
two barrels to every man, woman and
child In tho place, and pays more than
$6,000,000 for It. Taking tho whole
country, tho consumption of beer Is
260 quarts a head of population. Mu
nich alone has nearly 300 breweries,
there having been a steady Increase
In the number for tho last 200 years.
In 1600 thero were sixty breweries In
tho capital, but tho first records con
cerning tho brewing ot beer date back
to 1150. For several centuries after
that tlmo mead, a concoction of water
and fermented honey, was the com
mon drink of tho people.
"In 1615 tho hofbrnu, or royal brew

Wilbert Thompson never knew a well day lie had been constipated all his life many doctors treated him, but all failed to even help him
his health failed rapidly and on January 21, 1003, Mrs. Thompson asked us to suggest a treatment for her husband. w"e thought the case too serious
and recommended that a specialist be consulted -but he also failed to help the patient NOW HE IS WELL.

MR. and MRS. WILBERT THOMPSON,
801 Main St., Peoria, III.
MULL'S GRAPE TONIC CURED HIM.
Mull's Grape Tonic Cured Him
Mrs. Thompson first wrote us as follows : "My husband, aged 23, suffers from sharp pains in his stomach
and sometimes thinks it is his heart. It me know by return malt what causes the pain, if jou can, Mr.
Thompson has beeu treated by seTeral doctors, but they have glren him up."
Weproraptly adrised that a first-class specialist be consulted. Wequote: "Wewanttosell Mull's Grape
Tonic, because we know it will cure constipation, but 50c. a bottle Is no object to us when a human life is at stake,
and if your husband's case Is as serious as you state, we suggest you consult a reliable specialist, not the adver
tising kind, promptly." At the same time, knowing that Mull's Grape Tonic could do no harm, we advised its
use until a physician could be consulted. January 25tb, Mrs. Thompson wrote that a physician had been con
sulted. He diagnosed the case as being chronic constipation and dyspepsia. Ills treatment was followed
faithfully, but there was no perceptible Improvement in Mr. Thompson's health. Then he began taking Mull's
Grape Tonic and on September 3, 1903, we received the following letter from Mrs. Thompson ;
"You will romombor that I wroto to you last January In rogard to my
husband's health. It Is four months sinco ho quit taking Mull's Qrapo Tonlo for
constipation, whloh ho sufforod from sinco birth. Ho took Just 24 bottlos of It
and Is porfootly cured. Ho Is much stronger and has galnod considerably In
flosh. I cannot thank you onough for Mull's Qrapo Tonlo. 'It is worth Its wofght
In gold.' Just SI2 curod him and ho has spent hundreds of dollars with
doctors who did him no good. It did all you claimed It would."
Very rospootfully yours, MRS. W. H. THOMPSON, 801 Main St., Poorlo, III.
Mr. Thompson stopped taking Mull'a Grape Tonic in June, 1903. He has been completely cured and
has taken no other medldne since that date. Almost two years and no return of the disease, should prove
a permanent cure.
