POOR DOMINIE
Between the Devlt and the Deep Sea.
A clergymuT of Gresham, Neb., who
drank coffee for many years suffered
from ohronic insomnia and frrm terrific
headaches when he quit coffee. He says:
"I have been a very heavy user of ct ffee
for bo long and have seen its effects so
clearly that there is now nodoubt in my
mind concerning its injurious effects up
on the nervous system.
"While a ccffee user I was unable to
sleep for honrs after retiring at night
and on the other hand terrific headaches
resulted if the regulur heur for drinking
coffee Dassed and I did not get it so I
was iu a miserable position.
"But I found a firm friend in Postum
Cereal Coffee and from the very time
that I adopted Postum all these evil ef
fects vanished. I now enjoy seund sleep
and improved appetite and a decidedly
clearer complexion and I am convinced
that better health and a longer life would
be the result of its general use. I Lav
a friend who baa been a nseref Postum
fer several years and tbe story of her
recovery from nearalgia of tbe stomach
simply by using Postnm in place of cof'
fee seems almost too wonderfnl to be
true. Many times she was near death’s
door and the dootors had frequently
given her case op as hopeless bnt she
was entirely healed by leaving off cof
fee and nstng Postnm. It is a pleasure
to say these good things abont Postnm.

iu this city, made brisf addresses show
ing the importance and the necessity of

The obj ;Cts of the new society are to
aid in the location and erection of new

ing of Sanday Schools and in the farth
ering of the work of the church ia every
way possiblo. The membership of the

At the meeting Suuday night Mr. W.
H. Morton, of Clarke county, after
stating that he was not eligible to mem
bership, because he did not live in Ath

funds of the society. The meetings of
the society will be subject to the call of
the officerf.
while he was not at liberty to
say much about it. still he could say
that there was now almost consummated
a movement that will mean more to
Athens than anything thit has happened
