DIDN'T KNOW
that Tea and Coffee Cause Trouble.
So common is the use of tea or
coffee as a beverage many do not
know that they are the cause of
many obscure ails which are often
attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for
oneself is to quit the tea and coffee
for a while, at least, and note re-
ults. A lady found out in this way,
nd also learned of a new beverage
hat is wholesome as well as plea-
nt to drink. She writes:
"I am 40 years old and all my
ifs, up to a year and a half ago, I
ad been a coffee drinker.
"Dyspepsia, severe headaches
nd heart weakness made me feel
osnetimes, as though I was about to
ie. After drinking a cup or two
f hot coffee, my heart would go
Ike a clock without a pendulum.
t other times it would almost stop
ted I was so nervous I did not like
be alone." Tea is just as harm-
ul, because it contains caffeine,
ho same drug found in coffee.
"If I took a walk for exercise, as
on as 'I was out, of .sight of the
Ouse 'I'd feel as if I was sinking
nd this, 'would frighten me terribly.
y limbs would utterly refuse to
upport me, and the pity of it all
as I did not know that ooffee was
ausing the trouble.
"Reading in the papers that
any persons were relieved of such
ilments by Ieaving off coffee and
rinking Postum, I got my husband
bring home a, package. We made.
according to directions and I
ked the first cup. Its rich snappy
vor was delicious.
'I have beets using Postum about
hteen months, and to my great
y, digestion is good, my nerves
d heart are all right, in fact, I
a well woman once more, thanks
Postum."

EIGHT CHILDREN CREMATED.
Parents and One Boy Alone Saved
from Quebec Fire,
A despatch from Quebec says : As
the result of a midnight blaze which
broke out in a three-storey wooden
building 'situated at No. 482 St.
Francois Street, between Lavio-
lette and St. Catherine Streets, ad-
joining the Terrain Bedard, all in-
dications at a11 early hour Friday
morning pointed to the cremation
of eight children of the family of
Mr. Ulric Trudel, the proprietor,
who, together with five other fam-
ilies, lived in the house.
The mother and father, as well
as the eldest boy, although all in-
jured, were saved, and all three are
at present in the Hotel Dieu Hos-
pital. It was also stated during the
fire that another of the children, a
little girl named Marguerite, had
been saved •by a man residing in an-
other street, and that she was safe
at his home, but no trace could be
found of the eight other children,
who ostensibly perished before aid
could reach them.
The eldest boy, named Antoin,
who was dropped from the third -
storey window, struck his head on,
the curb stone, and that,. together
with the burns which he received,
renders his condition very serious.
The mother, who was taken down
on a ladder, is horribly burned,
and only the expression of agony in
her eyes and the moans which she
could not suppress told the pitiful
story of the agony and horrible
grief which she 'suffered. The father
was the least injured of the 'three,
although he also suffered several
painful burns.
LIONS CAUSE TERROR.
Have Already Killed 200 Cattle and
400 Sheep.
A despatch from Berlin says:
Terror reigns among the population
of Styria, Austria, arising from the
depredations of a lioness and her
cubs and a number of hyenas which
recently escaped from a menagerie,
according to despatches reaching
here from Gratz. The wild beasts
have seized and devoured 200 cat-
tle and 400 sheep. The inhabitants
will not allow their 'children to go
to school,
FATAL STING BY WASP"-
Titled
ASP.
Titled Lady Expires In Twenty
Minutes.
A despatch from London eayta
Lady Jane Molesworth, 'formerly
Miss Jane Graham Frost, daughter
of Brigadier -General Darrel M.
Frost, U.S.A., of St. Louis, aid
widow of Sir Lewis William. ¥oles
worth, was stung on the jugular
vein by a wasp early on Friday and
she died in twenty minutes. A cor-
oner's jury found'that Lady Moles-
worth had died from heart.failute,•
which was caused by the sting 'of an
insect. The verdict was based ,on
evidence given by physicians.
Miss Frost, a sister of the dead
woman, testified that Lady Moles-
worth was sitting in the drawing -
room, when the wasp stung her in
the neck. She went upstairs imme-
diately and applied ammonia to the
wound. When she returned she
complained of palpitation of the
heart. . Miss Frost immediately
rushed out of the room to get some
brandy, but when she returned she
found that her sister had fainted..
She called a doctor at once, but
Lady Molesworth died before he,
arrived. This was about twenty
minutes after she had been stung.
Dr. Sharp testified that Lady'
Molesworth's heart was not very
strong, and the exertion of running
upstairs caused the blood to circu-
late more freely, and assisted in
the distribution of the poison. The
sting had penetrated one of the
large veins of the neck.
DEVOURED BY SHARKS.
Tragic Scene Witnessed by Passen-
gers on Steamer Campania.
A despatch from London says: A
tragic scene was witnessed by the
passengers of the Campania, which
arrived at Queenstown last week.
On the third day out a `third-class
passenger, John Fagan, belonging
to county Mayo, jumped or fell
overboard from the top deck. All
the passengers were on deck at the
time when a cry of "Man over-
board!" was raised.
The Campania's engines were at
once stopped, and a boat rowed
quickly to aid the drowning man.
The passengers, however, were hor-
rified to see a number of sharks in
the vicinity, and the unfortunate
man was devoured, It is believed
that he was insane. The Ca9:iiialnia
proceeded after an hour' s..d.elas _
COASTING COST MAN'S LIFE.
Knocked Down on Sidewalk, Sus-
tained Fracture of Skull.
A despatch from Woodstock says:
As the result of a boy's carelessness
Charles Rush, of Michigan, was
killed here on Thursday. Rush
had, arrived here after an absence
of 27 years, to visit his brother.
With his brother John he was walk-
ing down the hill on Hunter Street,
when they heard a noise behind
them. Looking back, they saw a
boy coasting the sidewalk in an ex-
press wagon. They parted to leave
room for him, but the boy ran into
Charles Rush's legs, knocking his
feet from under him. He fell back-
ward, striking his head on the side-
walk and fracturing his skull. He
died three hours later in the hospi-
tal.
BRITISH FIRM'S CONTRACT.
Thirty Million Dollars for Exten-
sion of Vancouver's Harbor.
A despatch -from London says:
Messrs, J, G. White, • the eminent
British harbor engineers, announce
that they have secured the con-
tract, involving about £6,000,000
sterling, for a scheme of, harbor ex-
tension in Vancouver,, .where the
Provincial Government recently
granted foreshore rights to the
Vancouver Harbor ' Sa Dock Exten-
sion Company. It is intended to
provide twenty-five miles of dock-
age a:t Lulu Island and Sea Island
and many miles for industrial sites
and railway terminals. The com-
pany agrees to give the Govern-
ment control over the dockage
rates that are to be charged and
also undertakes to allow all rail-
ways and steamship lines equal
privileges. The' agreement gives the
Government the right to purchase
at an arbitrated value the works
which, the company as a private
promoter has placed at the disposal
of the industrial world.
FLE`V ACROSS BALTIC.
Swedish Aviator Made 812 -mile
Trip Two Hours.
A despatch from Berlin says:
Thulin, a Swedish aviator, crossed
the Baltic from Landskrona to
Stralsund, a distance' of 312 miles,
in two hours, in an aeroplane.
BUTlER BARRED AT COLLEGE
Girls Do Not Take Kindly to Dry Bread, and Make
Wry Faces.
'A • despatch from Poughkeepsie,
N.Y.,says : After a year's study of
the health 'situation at Vassar" Col-
lege, 'the authorities at the college
have decided that cotton mattresses
and butter are not conducive to
good 'health, and as a result butter
is now barred from the dinner
table, and the girls will 'hereafter
sleep on the hair mattresses re-
quired by the new rule or curl up
on a rug. The girls attending the
college 'are greatly astonished at
the new rule, and a storm of pro-
test has arisen from them. Wry
faces were expressed at the break-
fast and luncheon over the process
of taking dry bread, and there is
much talk of thestudents making
a formal protest against the rule.
During the summer vacation the
authorities at the college hauled
every cotton mattress to the cam-
pus and burned them.
TO ENLARGE Soo CANAL.
Proposal to Give Continuous 30
Foot Channel to the Atlantic.
A despatch from Ottawa says: As
a preliminary to the enlargement
of the Canadian canal at Sault Ste.
Marie to a depth of 31 feet, the
Government is arranging for the
expropriation of Whitefish Island
and an additional strip of land
along the south side of the present
canal. Most of the property is
owned by the Algoma Central Rail-
way, and the Department of Justice
is' now instituting expropriation
proceedings.
The actual work of enlarging the
canal must, of course, wait until
sanctioned by Parliament, but it is
understood that a vote will be ask-
ed at the next session of Parlia-
ment for a preliminary survey and
for the preparation of plans.
The enlargement of the Soo Ca-
nal is a logical sequence to the
enlargement of the Welland Canal.
The next step will be the enlarge-
ment of the whole St. Lawrence
canal system so as to give a con-
tinuous thirty-foot channel right
through from the head of the lakes
to the Atlantic.
The formal announcement of the
whole scheme will probably not be
made for some considerable time
yet, but meanwhile the enlargement
of the Welland and the Soo Canals
will be proceeded with.
,�yN�I MILLED IN RACEWAR.
,, edY4Originated From Drunken
.Spree.
' A. despatch from Vicksburg,
Miss., .says : As a result of a
drunken spree by two negro bro-
thers,' Walter and Willie Jones,
aged 16 and 18 respectively, four
prominent white citizens of Harris -
ton, Miss., are dead, and four
others are dangerously wounded,
and nine negroes are dead and
many wounded.
The trouble started at an early
hour :Sunday morning, when the
Jones brothers went down to
"Negrotown" and there fired sev-
eral shots at random 'in their
drunken debauch, and a negro or
two 'were killed. When. Sheriff
Ilammett was informed of the trou-
ble he atarted out immediately with
a posse. The negroes were sur-
rounded and barricaded in an old
house, from which they fired con-
tinuously and killed four white citi-
zens who were attempting to cap-
ture them. The negroes escaped
and were joined by others, and in
a second encounter five negroes
were killed:• Walter Jones was
killed by the posse, and later in the
morning Willie Jones was captured
also and hanged to a. post, in front
of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
passenger station.
•
BANDITS' HOLD UP AUTO.
•
Victims Ordered Out and Robbers
Took Their Places.
A despatch from Montreal says:
Early Friday morning four masked
men • held up an automobile con-
taining four men and two women
on Queen Mary Road, Cote des
Neiges, near Montreal, and robbed
the occupants of $250 in cash and
articles of jewellery. The bandits
were armed with revolvers and
kept those in the car covered while
relieving them of their money and
jewellery.
When ' the bandits had accom-
plished their work they ordered the
occupants out of the machine,
climbing in 'themselves, and drove
towaa'd Montreal, Before reaching
Outremont they abandoned the oar
in the middle of the road and dis-
appeared.
Chief Baker, of the Outremont
Police Department, was notified
and set' out with his men to cover
the roads leading from Cote des
Neiges. The bandits, however,
had a good start and no trace of
them, was found.
ESCAPED FROM GOWGANDA.
Circumstances Give Air of Mystery
to the Affair.
A despatch from Gowganda says :
George E. Ericson, .a Swede, whose
arrest was asked for by the Swedish
authorities on three charges of
arson and burglary, has made a
mysterious escape from the local
lockup. Arrested by Provincial
Constable Stalwood, Ericson was
placed behind the bars. He was
given a preliminary hearing, but
made his escape 'shortly afterwards.
It was claimed that friends of his
had threatened the authorities.
Inspector Powell made an investi-
gation, and found that the only way
Ericson could have got out would
be through a hole fourteen inches
square. As he weighs one 'hundred
and seventy-five pounds, and would
have had to reach six feet to get
through, it looks very suspicious.
CHINA HAS APOLOGIZED.
Japan Denies an Ultimatum Was
Sent to Chinese Government.
A despatch from Nanking says:
General Chang Hsun, the com-
mander of the Chinese troops at
Nanking, accompanied by a. body-
guard of 50 cavalry, went to the
Japanese Consulate Saturday
morning and apologized in accor-
dance with the Japanese demands
in connection with the killing of
several Japanese and an insult
offered to the Japanese' flag. The
Consul expressed his satisfaction at
the action of the Chinese com-
mander.
The Japanese Legation emphati-
cally denied that an ultimatum had
been sent by the Japanese Govern-
ment to China,. The Legation stat-
ed that the Chinese authorities at
Hankow and Shantung had fully
complied with the Japanese de-
mands,
TRADE FIGURES GROWING.

A despatch from Ottawa says:
Canada's trade figures announced
Thursday show striking increases,
the total for August being $97,742,-
581, or $7,719,677 more than Au-
gust last year. For the first five
months of the year the total is
$456,223,167, an increase of $37,-
564,919 over the same period of

Exports for August were $13,-
176,343, an increase of $4,572,500.
Of these exports Canadian manu-
factures represented $4,911,478.
VINE PRODUCES 500 PUMPKINS
Covers Eighth of Acre --One Weighs
100 Pounds.
A despatch from Conway, S.C.,
says: If Peter, Peter, Pumpkin
Eater had run across an enormous
pumpkin vine growing on the pro-
perty of Dr. R. G. Sloan on Little
River, this county, he could have
kept 500 wives. The vine, which is
of voluntary growth, is believed to
be the largest in the world. It cov-
ers more than an eighth of an acre,
and has produced about 500 pump -
bins, the largest of which weighs
nearly 100 pounds. If it is feasible
to remove it the vine will be exhibi-
ted at the State Fair at Columbia.
BROKE GRAIN HAUL RECORD.
C.P.R. Landed 900 Cars at Fort

cars.
FIVE KILLED AT CROSSING.
Struck By Express at Level Cross -
lag Near Montreal.
A despatch from Montreal says:
Five people weinstantly
by the C.P,R, Quebec Express
killed ten
miles from this city on Friday -night
when the carriage in which they
were riding was struck by the pilot
of the engine. The dead are : Hor-
midas Allaire, 49 years old; Mrs.
Hormidas Allaire, 46 years old;
Wilfrid Lortie, bachelor, 42 years
old; Albina Lortie, his sister, un-
married, 43 years; Victoria Lortie,
another sister, 66 years of age. All
the deceased lived at St, Elsear,
Quebec.
The party were driving to their
home at St. Elsear over a sort of
private road, known as Monte Du -
Moulin, which runs from Park La-
val to St. Martin, The road is not
much more than a rough track, and
at the crossing where the accident
took place there is no light or sign
of habitation. The train was en
route to Montreal.
The engine driver. realizing that
there had been an accident, pulled
up and the train crew picked up
the bodies of the party which had
been thrown in all directions, one
of them being found on top of the
engine. The carriage was smashed
into splinters.
Four of the victims were dead
when picked up, the only one show-
ing any sign of life being Albina
Lortie. All were placed on the
train and brought into Montreal.
At the Mile End Station an am-
bulance from the Royal Victoria
Hospital was waiting. Miss Lortie
was placed in the vehicle, but died
before reaching the hospital.
Just how the accident happened
no one seems to know as the point
where the carriage was struclS is
far removed from any farm house.
The party carried no light, and the
engine driver claims that the first
intimation he had was when he felt
the impact of the engine and car-
riage.
PIERPONT MORGAN'S WEALTH
Left $150,000,000, Exclusive of
Good -Will of Banking House.
A despatch from New York says:
The late J. Pierpont Morgan left
an estate of over $100,000,000. This
was disclosed when attorneys for
the executors sent a cheque for
$2,500,000 to the State Comptroller
