week from a Kansas admirer, who wants
hint to use it- in hitting the tariff and

When the legislature meets July 27, the
prohibitionists will ask for only three or
four additional laws. It now looks as if
the efforts of the leaders will be concentrated
on constitutional prohibition
and an improvement in the jury system.
It is said that with better jury
laws the present prohibition laws can
be upheld.

The Corporation Tax to Stand: The desire
of the conferees on the tariff bill
to have the president agree to the withdrawal
from that measure of the proposed
corporation tax, will hardly materialize.
The nresid?nt is ?UnnHln?r firm
and that amendment will remain in the
bill and become a portion of the law
if the tariff bill be written into the
Federal statutes.

a provision authorizing the issuance

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee,
To decide the all important question
of coffee, whether or not It Is reany the
hidden cause of physical ans and
approaching fixed disease, one should
make a test of 10 days by leaving off
coffee entirely and using well-made Postum.
If relief follows you may know to a
certainly that coffee has been your .
vicious" enemy. Of course you can take
it back to your heart again, if you like
to keep sick.
A lady says: "I had suffered with
stomach trouble, nervousness and terri
ble sick headaches ever since 1 was a
little child, for my people were always
great coffee drinkers and let us children
have all we wanted. I got so I thougat
I could not live without coffee but I
would not acknowledge that it caused my
suffering.
"Then I read so many articles about
Postum that I decided to give It a fair ,
trial. I had not used It two weeks in
place of coffee until I began to feel like
a different person. The headaches and
nervousness disappeared and whereas i
used to be sick two or three days out of I
a week while drinking cofTee I am now
well and strong and sturdy seven days a
week, thanks to Postum.
"I had been using Postum three months
and had never been sick a day when I
thought I would experiment and see if it
reallv war rntfoo ihat nonaoh n>?
so I began to drink coffee again and inside
of a week I had a sick spell. I was so ill
I was soon convinced that coffee was the
cause of all my misery and I went back to
Postum, witn the result that I was soon
well and strong again and determined to
stick to Postum and leave coffee alone in
the future."

Wellville," in pkg3. "There's a Reason."

one appears from time to time. They
