While the orchestra was playing and the six ‘widows’ were singing thelr Kissing song with Arthur Dunn at the Casino last night, Alice Campbell, one of the most beutiful of “The Runa- ways” “widows lay dead In the Ge man Hospital. When the nows reached the theatre just before the curtain wag} rang up there was an outburst of sorrow that would have dong honor to any lead- ing lady. From the littlest chorus girl to the six stately widows the performance was an effort, and Arthur Dunn, the tiny come- tan. found St diMeult to go through his spectaities, in which Alice Campbell had taken part only a week ago Perhaps no git] in “The Runaways" company was held in the same high esteem as Alice Campbell, who was one of the most talented young women at the Casino. ‘At the time she was taken {Il last Monday night she was playing the part of Jeannette Darling. having been pro- moted from the show girl ranks. ‘An attack of appendicitis, followed by an operation from which she never ral~ {ied, resulted in her death.

Complete and restful poise of the body ana mind is aa art not easily gained. Perhaps nothing brings one as much content, comfort, happiness and pleasure as those conditions of easy, restful, resourceful and well- balanced mind and body that make of work a pleasure and the daily life happy and pegceful. The nervous housewife Susy with | a hundred duties and hnrasged by children; the business man, worried with the press of daily affairs, debts, &c., cannot enjoy the ppace and rest~ ful repose and healthful nervous bal- ance unless they know how. There is a way, First and fore- most the stomach must. be consulted. That means leaving off coffee abso- jlutely, for the temporery stimulant and the resulting depression is a sure ruin to the nervous system, and the whole condition of health and happi- ness rests upon stomach, nerves and mind, Start with the stomach, that Is the keystone to the whole arch. Stop using things that break down its power, upset Its nervous energy ani prevent the proper digestion of the food and the consequent manufacture of healthful blood and nerves, brain and tissyes. A When you quit coffee take on Pos- tum Food Coffee. That is like stop- ping the payment of interest and starting on a career where you are loaning money and receiving interest. The good results are double. You stop poisoning the system with coffee and start building up the broken down nerve cells by powerful ele-/ ments contained In Postum. These are pure food elements ably selected by experts for the purpose of supply- ing just the thing required by nature to perform this rebuilding, These are solid substantial facts | and can be proved clearly to the sat-| isfaction of any one by personal ex-| perience. Try the change yourself and note how the old condition of shattered nerves and worried mind changes to that feeling of restful poise of a well-balanced nervous s. tem. The managing physician of a hy- gienic sanitarium in Indiana says| that for five years In his practice he has always insisted upon the patients leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food Coffees with the mest positive, well-defined results and with satis- faction to the most confirmed coffee toper.
