sisted of 17 elephants, and as they

She Had Curious Habits,
When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold-
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous
ditions that coffee will produce,
shows in one way in one person
in another way in another. In
case the lady lived In 8. Dak.
Bays:
“1 have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coldest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. 1 had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
I have been unable to go to church
or to lectures because of that awful
feeling that I must keep on the move.
“When it was brought to my atten-
tion that coffee caused so many nerv-
ous diseases, 1 concluded to drep cof-
fee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see If my trouble was caused by cof-
fee drinking.
“1 only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast, but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now [| have no
more of the jerking and twitching
and can sleep with any amount of
bedding over me and sleep all night
in sound, peaceful rest.

worth its weight in gold to me’
