Locomotive headlights are in court in
Georgia and are raising quite a discussion.
The State of Georgia, last summer,
passed a law requiring electric headlights
on all locomotives, freight as well
as passenger. The general managers of
the roads are resisting the law, urging
that an electric headlight confuses the
signal lights along the track. The engineers
testified that it is a great benefit,
enabling the man on the locomotive to
see the track scvcmi hnniimj
ahead. Judge Eve, in a case before him,
fined the Atlantic Coast Line $2500 for
failure to provide an electric headlight
on a locomotive. The case will be appealed
to the higher courts.

A DOCTOR'S SLEEP
Found He Had to Leave Off Coffee.
Many persons do not realize that a bad
stomach will cause insomnia.
Coffee drinking, being such an ancient
and respectable form of dissipation, few
realize that the drug?caffeine?contained
in the coffee and tea, is one of the
principal causes of dyspepsia and nervous
troubles. +
Without their usual portion of coffee
or tea, the coffee topers are nervous,
irritable and fretful. That's the way with
a whiskey drinker. He has got to have
his dram "to settle his nerves"?habit.
To leave off coffee is an easy matter if
you want to try it, because Postum?well
boiled according to directions?gives a
gentle but natural support to the nerves
and does not contain any drug?nothing
but food.
Physicians know this to be true, as one
from Ga. writes:
"I have cured myself of a long-standing
case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off
coffee and using Postum, says the doctor.
"I also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which
I had been an utter stranger for 20 years"In
treating Dyspepsia In its various
tvnes. I Anil littln rniihl# uih"" '
duce patients to quit coffee and adopt
Poatum." The Dr. is right and "there's a
reason." Read the little book, "The Road
to Wellville," in pkgs.

one appears from time to time. They

interest. ?
