POOR COMFORT. Cold Water Drinker Finds a Relief in Postum Coffee. Our American people, who are nervous overstrained, would drink coffee if they know how well and clear-headed they would be without it. "When I was a little child," says Miss M. D'Alt of Topeka, Kan.

"I commenced the drinking of coffee. Naturally nervous, it made me as the years went on a most miserable wretch, always in an unnatural state of excitement. I found, as I grew older. that I would at times stagger as a drunken person. It was coffee, for I had no desire to drink anything in liquors.

"My health was very bad and my brother and I were talking of quitting coffee, when I was stricken with typhoid fever. Upon my recovery, my brother wisely allowed no coffee, and gaid if I wished to be well again I must stop its use. "For a number of years cold water was my only drink, but this was poor comfort until about three years ago a package of Postum Food Coffee was left at our house. We prepared it as directed and found a wholesome, delicious drink: more than this has strengthened me without causing those terrible 'after effects' formerly left upon me by coffee. "I recommend Postum to all my friends and in my varied experience I find it a safe drink without effect on the nerves, and the only one which with me has filled a long felt want." Many people who have stopped drinking because of its effect on the nerves the pure food coffee, drink, Postum, a beverage that when properly made touches the spot, pleases the eye and palate and fille the VAcancy as no other drink can.

Miss Coulter of Bryan were here yesterday and saw the "farmers" win. -Lamar Bethea and Misses Edna Bethea and Jessie Nall of Bryan cheered the Agricultural and Mechanical boys in yesterday's football game. Avenue Hotel Arrivals--Charles J. Habry. Beaumont; I.
