A Prohibitive Tax on Near-Bcer: The
House of the Georgia Legislature, when
it had under consideration the general
tax act last week, adopted a substitute
by Mr. Alexander, of DeKalb, putting
a tax of $1,000 per year upon the manufacturer
and $300 per year upon the
retailer of near beer. It also threw a
number of restrictions around its sale.
The Senate has agreed with the House,
and the bill has gone to Governor
Brown for his signature.
Boston Defenses to Be Tested: Boston
will be cut off from the rest of the
world for seven days, beginning Saturday
morning precisely at midnight,
when the city will be attacked by land
and sea and an invading force of 20,000
men will be landed to test the coast defenses.
That is, it will he cut off from
a military standpoint, if the plans of the
invaders are successful. The military
power of Germany will be embodied in
the invading force, and the defenders
will typify the United States resisting
the invasion by a foreign foe.
Deaths from the Heat: The bodies of
forty babies were in the morgue in New
York on August 10, the harvest of the
heat wave. They came from various
inotifntJnrio Ir* +K** oUtf

being from the New York Foundling
Asylum. In addition to the infants
there were seven adults reported dead
from the heat. It is estimated that
10,000 persons slept on the beach at
Coney Island that night.
Indians on the Warpath: For the first
time in forty years the Seminole Indians
on the reservation are on the warpath.
A runner brought out of the swamp
meager details of a fight which took
place last week between the Seminoles
and a party of white men who were
hunting in the everglades. It is indicated
that the entire Seminole tribe has
taken to arms, and the gravest fears are
entertained for the safety of the white
men who may be hunting or prospecting
in the big swamp. It is not thought
likely that the Seminoles will attack the
settlers on the edge of the swamp.
More Statues in the Hall of Fame: The
statues of George Washington and Robert
Lee and the statue of the late Sen
ator Shoup, of Idaho, have been moved
into statuary hall at the capitol. The
statues will be placed between those of

Alabama. The statue of the late Senator
Shoup will be placed between
Allen, of Vermont, and Muhlenberg, of
Pennsylvania. These statues will make
a total of thirty-seven in the hall.
For Reclaiming Western Lands: The
seventeenth National Irrigation Congress
opened its sessions at Spokane last
week, ready to consider the proposition
for the government to Issue $5,000,000,000
in bonds, redeemable in 100 years,
for the development of the West. The
resolution putting forward this proposition
contains the unique offer that the
government not appropriate a penny, but

derive its return from the revenues of
the improvements. In other words.
Uncle, Sam will act as the banker.
The Government to Use Aeroplanes:
Wilbur Wright is expected soon in

for instructing the signal officers in the
handling of the aeroplanes which the
government has acquired. The lease of
the grounds at College Park, Md., has
* been arranged, and the work of putting
them in readiness for the practice flights
will be commenced at once. Orville
Wright sails from New York this week
for Germany.
Defiance to China: In defiance of the
protestations of China, Japan last week
began the construction of the AntungMukden
railroad. Work was started by
Japanese engineers and constructors,
who have been awaiting the outcome of
the negotiations for several months,
simultaneously at each end of the line. ,
They acted on instructions from Tokio.
The feeling of Japan in this matter,
which is due to China's objection to
changing the existing narrow gauge of
the line to the standard gauge of the
connecting lines in both Korea and
Manchuria, was reflected by a Japanese
official of high standing at Pekin, who
said that China-Japanese relations at the
present moment bore a dangerous re
semblance to those of 1904.
BAD DREAMS
Caused By Coffee.
"I have been a coffee drinker, more or
less, ever since I can remember, until a
few months ago, I became more and
more nervous and irritable, and Anally I
coma not sieep ai mgni ior 1 was norribly
disturbed by dreams of all sorts
and a species of distressing nightmare.
"Finally, after hearing the experience
of numbers of friends who had quit coffee
and were drinking Postum, and learning
of the great benefits they had derived,
I concluded coffee must be the
cause of my trouble, so I got some Postum
and had it made strictly according
to directions.
"I was astonished at the flavor and
taste. It entirely took the place of coffee,
and to my very great satisfaction,
I began to sleep peacefully and sweetly.
My nerves improved, and I wish I could
wean every man, woman and child from
the unw,holesome drug?ordinary coffee.
"Ponnltt rno 11 rl n nnt onnr^olofa
realize what a powerful drug It is and
what terrible effect it has on the human
system. If they did, hardly a pound of
it would be sold. I would never think
of going back to cofTee again. I would
almost as soon think of putting my hand
in a fire after I had once been burned.
"A young lady friend of ours had stomach
trouble for a long time, and could
not get well as long as she used coffee.
She finally quit coffee and began the use
of Postum and Is now perfectly well.
Yours for health."
