ETOT A MIRACLE
3nnt Plain Cauiu and Effect. v
There are some quite remarkable a
things happening every day , which T
seem almost miraculous. tl
Some persons would not believe that tlh tlu
a man could suffer from coffee drinkIng - h
Ing so severely as to cause spells of un f ;
consciousness. And to find complete tl
relief In changing from coffee to Pos- tlsi
tum is well worth recording. si
"I used to be a great coffee drinker , sir <
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an s <
foour at a time. The spells caught me b ;
sometimes two or three times a day. k
" .My friends , and even the doctor , kP1
told me it was drinking coffee that P1h ;
caused the trouble. I would not be S (
Hove it. and still drank coffee until I tl
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor , who drinks Post um
ftiimself. persuaded me to stop coffee C (
and try Postum. Afrer much hesitation b :
I concluded to try it. That was eight ct
19 -months ago. Since then I have had but t.l
few of those spells , none for more than 01
four months. 01t

"I feel better , sleep better and am H

one's head under \\indow tent , one

the Indiana Health Department.
Coughs , colds , pneumonia , consumption
and all other diseases of the air j'ass-
ages are principally induced by breath
ing foul air. The window tent supplies
fresh outdoor air to breathe and at Ihe
same time permits the body to be In a
warm room. The head is accustomed to
the cold , and in very cold weather an
ordinary woman's knit hood nuiy be
worn to protect the ears and cheeks.
During the night and when asleep the
tissues are repaired and the brain and
nerve cells are recharged with energy.
Pure air is the great factor in repair
work. Consumption and catarrh in
their early stages can be cured by
breathing fresh air night and day.
Gold and silver nets and. trimmings
are to be very much employed for
evening trimming , especially silver , and
the thin silver laces and nets will be
much in evidence.
All sorts of lovely sashes , arranged
in many diverse lines , will be si factor
of evening gowns , and often a simple
evening frock will be decorated with a
rich sash , or a brilliant frock toned
down by one in black or some dark
tone , although as a rule the evening
sashes are light and brilliant.
The brocade evening gown laid in
deep plait about a pointed bodice and
laced down the'back ' in quaint and awk-
first wrinkle. Gray hairs may be tolerated
erated , ; often their framing softens the"
complexion , giving depth and brightness
to the eyes that flash beneath them , an.l
many a plain face has been glorified
when crownetf by the sheen of silver
tresses. The fading tints of a v.vll-
groomed skin are easily concealed by
the artifices familiar to every woman ,
but a wrinkle is obstinate , a disagree
able , aggressive witness , that bears evi
dence ot" age in unpicluresqtie language ,
as convincing as the family Bible.

CHICAGO'S SHOCKING CONDITION
Fifteen Thousand School Children
j Suffering from Hunger ,
i According to the report of a com-
; mittce which has been investigating
conditions since May , there tire r > ,0 < JO
! children in Chicago frequently sent to
school brcakfastless. while lO.CCo oth
ers arc habitually hungry as the result
of receiving insufficient food. What to
do with these children is now the prob
lem that confronts the city. The Board
of Education says that it cannot le-
j gaily furnish food , but is willing to
' provide ioo > ms and equipment to enable -
| . able any philanthropic person , or or
ganization , to relieve the distress. .Many
are opposed to the idea of giving free
meals to children at 'school , believing
that the proper course is to enter the
homes of the people where destitution
exists and relieve it thc.re. They urge
the argument that if the child who at
tends school is underfed the same con
dition , even perhaps to greater extent ,
applies to the younger children re
maining at home. The problem is a
serious one , and calls for quick solu
tion.
Some of the conditions found by the
imesligating committee were most
pitiable. Hundreds of mothers , the re
port says , often go to bed hungry in
order that their children may have
something to eat next morning. This
self-denial is habitual heroism in sev
eral districts of the poor. Fathers out
of work have been found who were
regular beneficiaries of the free lunch
counters in saloons , while their fami
lies went lutugry.
Children have been found on South
Water street , faint with hunger , beg
ging for dead fowl in the crates or for
decayed fruit. They have been seen
feasting on remnants of food from gar
bage boxes in alleys and in a few in
stances clutching at crusts of bread
thrown away by other children at
school.
In 9-10 homes children were found be
ing raised in places unfit for human
habitation. The city is filled with de
serted wives with large families. Chil
dren were found who did not know the
taste of butter and to whom the taste {
of meat was but a memory.
MYSTEEIOTTS OMAHA MURDER.
Charles E. Davis Is Held for the
Killing oi Dr. Rustin.
After a five days' hearing Charley
Edward Davis has been held on tha
charge of shooting Dr. Frederick Rns-
tin of Omaha early on the morning oC
Sept. 2. Bail was fixed at $10.000 and
\\vis furnished. Mrs. llice , who said
*
slit had a suicidecompact with Rustin ,
was a principal witness against Davis.
Dr. Rustin was a married man in
love with Mrs. Rice. lie was heavily
in debt and believed the only thing for
him to do was to commit suicide in
such a way as not to invalidate his
insurance. According to Mrs. Rice ha
convinced her that she ought to kill
him and then commit suicide. She
tried , but her nerve failed. Then , she
says , the doctor met Davis , who also
wanted to die. The doctor , according
to her. gave Davis poison with which
to commit suicide , in consideration for
which Davis agreed to shoot the doc
tor that night.
I
Davis admitted everything ( even the
taking of the poison ) except the agree
ment to kill and the actual killing.
Davis' attorney tried to convince the
court that Mrs. Itice did the killing.
