Why saved lives?
Many and many a man or woman finds the life sands running
low, and daily troubles show that food is not keeping the body up to
active, healthful vigor, and wonder why?
Some hidden thing retards digestion and the body does not
receive its jieeded nourishment. y?,
To such we earnestly suggest leaving off the coffee entirely,
even the famous "only one cup in the morning.*' Replace it with
good, hot Postum made as per directions on pkg. and carefully
observe day by day the return of health and strength.

these flats did not hesitate to seek the street

pouring from the chimney. \ still alarm,
turned In by the men who discovered the
smoke, brought the South Richmond Fire
Department hurrying to the scene.
The llremen unllmbercd their apparatus

only found fire In the stove.
As no claimant has come forward to own
the mysterious little black box which was
the origin of Monday's lire on tho second
floor of Baldwin's building, and ac tho police
are convinced that the machine was placed
there for the e.\press purpose of firing the
structure, the people occupying these flats
are feeling a trifle unxlnu? und disposed to
