NEW HUSBAND
Quite an Improvement on Old One.
"'I have been compelled to stop
drinking it’ I said to a friend who
asked me to strengthen up on a cup of
her good coffee. 'Well' she said
’that needn't bother you for I have
Postum Food Coffee here which com-
pletely cured a friend of mine of sick
headaches.’
”1 tried her coffee and it was very
good but when I tried to make it at
home I was disappointed. I soou
found that I was not making it cor-
rectly but by putting in two heaping
teaspoonfuls of Postum for each per-
son and letting it boil twenty minutes
it was delicious.
“I had at that time been an invalid
for several years but did not know
my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking of which I was very fond. I
immediately began to feel better after
leaving off coffee and using Postum
and stuck to it.
“One day I met a lady who was
troubled the same as I was and whose
appearance on the street really
shocked me for she was so emaciated.
She exclaimed in surprise at my im-
proved appearance and wanted to
know what I had been doifig She
asked me if I had had a healer of any
kind. I said 'Yes I have allowed
Postum Food Coffee to work the al-
most complete miracle of curing me.'
“My husband has been absent from
home for some time and has been in
wretched health having been in the
hospital twice for indigestion. I wrote
him to stop using coffee and try
Postum —told him also just how to
make it. Yesterday I received a let-
ter from him in which he says ‘I am
feeling very much better thanks to
you and Postum. I sleep better eat
better and in fact my dear am quite
an improvement on the old husband.’ ”

Our last year's Anniversary Sale “capped” all previous ones—but this Anniversary Sale is being patronized by the foremost

The pianos which we are making unusual discount upon ARE THE IRREGULAR AXD ODD STYLES IN THE CATA-
LOGL E. Most all of them arc brand new. Some of course have been rented but it is just such conditions and reasons that causes
the price reductions. However every instrument even those which we have taken in exchange and are offering during this sale are
put in thorough playing condition and the prices which we ask for them are only equal to the necessary expense put upon them in the

TEST LIQUOR LAW
OCT. 9 AT TYLER
Application for Writ to Release
Steve Vaccarrezzi Results
in Delay.
On October 9 the much discussed
Baskin-McGregor liquor law will be
finally tested before the court of crim-
inal appeals at Tyler. Until that time
Steve Vaccarrezzi the San Antonio
dealer selected to make a test of the
constitutionality of the measure will
be at liberty under $3OO bond in two
cases filed against him recently by
State Revenue Agent McDonald. At-
torneys for Vaccerrezzi appeared be-
fore Judge Davids yesterday and
presented an application for his re-
lease from the custody of the sheriff
on habeas corpus proceedings. Judge
Davids set October 9 as the time for
the hearing of the case and ordered
Vaccarrezzi’s release on $6OO bond.
The action of the judge in ordering
the release of Vaccarrezzi means that
the case will be taken up for final dis-
position when the court meets at Ty-
ler October 9. and that a decision will
then be rendered as to the constitu-
t.onality of the Baskin-McGregor li-
quor law that has caused so much
confusion and opposition among the
liquor dealers of the entire state.

TORSIELLO’S FAMOUS
BAND AT HOT WELLS
Crowds Expected This After-
noon and Evening at
Popular Resort.
Torsielio’s concerts are proving the
most popular attraction that has ever
been given at the famous Hot Wells
and as on preceding days when this
noted band furnished music the beau-
tiful pleasure park will doubtless be
crowded this afternoon and evening.
The concert will begin at 4 in the af-
ternoon and last until 11 p. m. The
program will combine both popular and
classical selections and will be one of
the most varied concerts ever given by
the band.
The former difficulty in reaching the
wells on account of Inadequate car
service has been overcome by the
double-tracking the line and by the
completion of the loop around Main
plaza. The ride is one of the most de-
lightful offered by the car lines in the
city and the best part of it is that no
disappointment awaits the visitor at
the end of the line. The park is a pic-
ture of loveliness with its wide spread-
ing shade trees its stately palms and 1
its many quiet nooks and corners gar- j
nished with tropical and semi-tropical i
plants and flowers. The club house Is
modern in every particular and re-
freshments of the choicest kinds may
be secured in the cafe for the hungry
and thirsty. Located as it is high
above the surrounding country and not
being shut in by other buildings the
Hot Wells is one place in the city
where cooling breezes may be found on
the hottest of days.
Now that the majority of the other
pleasure resorts near the city have
been closed for the season Hot Wells I

affords the best place that may be
found to escape the heat of the city.
In order that there may be plenty of
entertainment of the highest type Tor-
sielio’s full band was secured to give
concerts. Those who have already
had the pleasure of hearing the band
are loud in praise of their excellent
work.
Nothing that would add to the com-
fort or pleasure of guests at the park
has been overlooked by the manage-
ment and with the improved car serv-
ice the resort rapidly proving the
most popular in the city.
The concerts are given three times
a week —Wednesday Saturday and
Sunday. The mid-week event has been
changed from Thursday night to
Wednesday night in order not to inter-
fere with the regular Thursday night
concerts at Muth’s garden.
Coal Mining and Mortality.
(Tit Bits.)
One would imagine coal mining be-
ing little short of a deadly occupa-
tion what with coal dust laden air
the cramped position and the damp
and confinement generally ever
threatening consumption rheumatism
an other diseases yet the death rate
annually Is barely nine per one thou-
sand.
Frugal Feminine Lunches.
(Ladies’ Field.)
The richer a woman is. as a rule
the more economical she will be over
her lunch the idea being too deeply
planted in the feminine breast that
anything will do in the way of food
so long as she is alone.
