DIDN'T REALIZE
How Injurious Coffee Really Was.
Many persons go on drinking coffee
year after year without realizing that it
is the cause of many obscure but persistent
ailments.
The drug?caffeine?in coffee and tea,
is very like uric acid and is often the
cause of rheumatic attacks which, when
coffee is used habitually, become
chronic.
A Washington lady said, recently:
"I am sixty-five and have had a good
deal of experience with coffee. I consider
it very injurious and the cause of
many diseases. I am sure it causes decay
of teeth in children.
"When I drank coffee 1 had sick
spells and still did not realize that coffee
could be so harmful, till about a year
ago I had rheumatism in my arms and
fingers, got so nervous I could not sleep
and was all run down.
"At last, after llnding that medicine
did me no good, I decided to quit coffee
entirely and try Postum. After using it
six months I fully recovered my health
beyond all expectations, can sleep sound
and my rheumatism is all gone." "There's
a Reason."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read the famous little
book, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs.

Twenty-Nine Million Dollor Fine Illegal:
Judge A. B. Anderson last
week ended the retrial of the Standard
Oil Company case and Instructed the jury
to return a verdict of not guilty on all
the counts in the indictment. "As I view
the matter, the proof to support these
counts absolutely falls," said the court.
"I deem these fatal errors," he concluded,
after summing up his reasons for his
decision. When the jury reached its box,
Judge Anderson announced that he had
decided to end the case and instructed for
the verdict of "not guilty." The decision

ceremonies from March 4 to the

provides that the sixty-second congress
shall terminate on April 13. Senator
Lodge objected to consideration of
the amendment on the ground that it was
general legislation, and as the house was
not in session, no action could be
taken. It was referred to the committee
on privileges and elections.

A Rival to Mammoth Cave:"Kentucky's
H. March 17, 1909.
celebrated Mammoth cave may have a rival
in the great Adirondack cave that ha9
been discovered by Capt. E. E. Thomas,
of Saranac Lake, X. Y. The mouth of
the Adirondack cave is on top of a peak
of "W" mountain, about 30 miles front
Standisli. In the opinion of Captain
Tliontas it is of volcanic origin. He and
a companion went in about 1,000 feet and

are properly equipped. They found a
succession of chambers, large and small,
with passages located in all directions,
but all downward.
To Fight the Great White Plague:
Illinois lined up with other great states
of the Union in the war with the white
plague when the legislature passed the
Glackin bill, authorizing the establishment
of municipal sanatoriums. The
bill will be signed immediately by the
governor. Then, by virtue of an emergency
clause, it will become effective at
once. Petitions will be rushed out to
be signed and submitted to the county
clerks. Only 100 signatures are necessary
to submit the question to a referendum
vote at the April election. The
bill provides that a tax of one mill may
be levied on all taxable property for the
creation of a municipal sanatorium fund.
"The sanatorium will accomplish three
objects," said Health Commissioner
Bvans. "It will cure a large number of
cases at an onrlu ctaffo Tf mill (??? .. >*
