JACK LONDON'S SIGNS. | Jack London, the author, who was re- cently in Boston, recalls an earlier visit eleven years ago, when he arrived on the truck of a freight car, He lost his way in the tortuous streets of the city, a unique experience for him, although he has tramped about many ‘cities of the world. London's experiences as a tramp have not made him open-handed and hos- pitable. On the door of the London home in San Francisco is a sign reading, * No Admission Except on Business ; No A BOLD EDITOR. We understand that patronage is being withheld from the Zru/h because certain parties do not like the editor. In doing so they are not hurting Geiger, as we are getting along fairly well. And why?

HOW IT OFTEN HAPPENS FROM COFFEE. “T had no idea,” writes a Duluth man, “that it was the coffee I had been drink- ing all my life that was responsible for | the headaches which were growing upon me, for the dyspepsia that no medicines would relieve, and for the acute nervous- ness which unfitted me not only for work but also for the most ordinary social functions, But at last the truth dawned upon me; I forthwith bade the harmful bever- age a prompt farewell, ordered in some Postum and began to use it. The good effects of the new food drink were appar- ent within a very few days. My head- aches grew less irequent, and decreased in violence, my stomach grew strong and able to digest my food without distress of any kind, my nervousness has gone and I am able to enjoy life with my neighbors and sleep soundly o’ nights. My physical strength and nerve power have increased so much that I can do doubl- the work I used to do, and feel no undue fatigue afterwards. “ This improvement set in just as soon as the old coffee poison had so worked out of my system as to allow the food elements in the Postum to get a hold to build me up agsin.. I cheerfully testify that it was Postum and Postum alone that did all this, for when I began to drink it I threw physic to the dogs.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Michigan.
