When the house Is afire, it’s like a body when disease begins to show, it’s no time to talk, but time to act— delay is dangerous remove the cause of the trouble at once. “For a number of years,” says a Kansas lady, “I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet I was so fond of it I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite, and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that [ made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. “Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone— my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beating. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suf fered from rheumatism. “Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trou ble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven’t used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee.” Name given by Postum Cos., Battle Creek, Mich. “There’s a Reason.” Read the little book, '‘The Road to Wellvilie,” in pkgs.

Thaw in court at New York Monday in a plain, unemotional story of the shooting on the Madison Square roof garden, leaving the mal ice and the motive to be inferred from the act —and the defense replied with a plea of hereditary insanity. It was asserted that Thaw, in slay ing Stanford White, believed he was acting as an agent of providence, that real or fancied wrongs committed against him by the architect and ter mer friends of liis wife had boiled and bubbled in his brain until at last there came the explosive impulse to kill. When the deed was done, Thaw made no move to escape its conse quences, but, holding the fatal re volver aloft, he stood as if mutely pro claiming to the world, “The deed is done; it was right, It was not wrong.” Thus Thaw’s counsel outlined his case to the jury Monday afternoon after the prosecution had occupied less than two hours of the morning sitting of the court in relating through eye-witnesses the narrative of the tragedy. When the defense had interposed its plea and outlined its case, an adjournment was taken until Tuesday, when the first witness in Thaw’s behalf will be heard. “You will hear the story of this man’s insanity," Attorney John 13. Gleason, for the defense, promised the jury, "from his mother, from kis wife, from his relatives and from his physicians. You will judge him by his acts, ny the hereditary and stress which entered into his madness, and when you come to judge him you will say to yourself that his act may have been one of insanity, but it was not one of crime.” That Thaw’s wife was to be one of the most important witnesses has long been known; that his mother wa3 to take the stand only Decame known positively when the court announced ihe rule excluding from the court room all witnesses save experts.
