A letter-carrier said his wife liked coffee
so we'll and really needed 1t at breakfast. 1t
was too bad for the doctor to order her to
discontinue 1t. He told her that her bad
complexion, dyspepsia, nervousness ana
occasional palpitation of the heart all came
from one cause and that was coffee drink
ing, Tho good man went on further to
say; my child If you were as strong as
your husband and had the miles OF out
door walking to do that he has daily, you
could drink one cup Of coffee, or perhaps
two ut breakfast and dinner without any
very bad effects, but the same poisonous
alkaloids exist in coffee as are found In
tobacco, whiskey. strychnine and morph--
Inc. There Is not 80 great u proportion OF
them in coffee as in the other drugs but
a sufficient amount exists to seriously in
lure anyone whose constitution Is little
below par. All Of these drugs can DO used
for time by perfectly healthy people but
If thier use Is persisted In long enough.
the human body finally gives evidence of
the effect of the steady poison, and many
people who do not know this fact die be-
cause Of their unnatural habits. Ii you
could use hot drink in the morning
made from the nourlshing grains that
nature has provided for the use of man 1t,
would satisfy your appetite and fatten
your body"
A wholesome, delicious hot drink OF the
kind that old doctor referred to Is found
in Postum Coffee, made from grains by
the Postum Cereal Co. Lin. Battle Creek,
Mich; it brews tho rich color OF Java or
Mocha, mas grand fragrance and the
pungent taste demanded BY all coffee
drinkers No poisonous alkaloids are
found here, and man is ouly safe when he
sticks to natures food, furnished by the
Creator, prepared In u number OF differ.
ent ways, to be sure, Rudly health and
red blood will follow the discontinuance
of unnatural drinks and the substitution
therefor of the Cereal food drink. Its use
will tell the facts more plainly in the body
than words can be made to express. Grocers
furnish it and experience teaches that 10
goes about three times as far rs coffee,

MOTION TO QUASH
Alexander B. Cooper Believes
There are Flaws in Elec-
ton Indictments.


There has been going on in General
Sessions court all morning argument for
the quashing of the twenty four counts in
the eleven indictments against as many
election inspet tors, who arc charged with
having faIshed certificates of election aud
made false returns Of the result OF the re
cent election.
This was the day fixed for the hearings,
and tho states attorneys were ready to
begin the prosecution. But previous to
the opening Of court it had been whispered
that there was II surprise in store for the
state when the cases were called. 1t came
and took them by surprise and since At.
torney General White, his deputy, Peters
l.. Cooper, Alexander b. Cooper aud
Josiah Mavvil, counsel for the indicted III
spcctors have been fighting the surprise
out on legal grounds, or as counsel for the
defendants believe on a strong technic-
ality which involves the construction Of
the indictments under which the in
spe ,tors are defendants.
Mr.. White, after court had opened, an
nounced he was ready to try the counts
against Edward A. Brandt, who was To-
spector of the second district Of the Fourth
ward. Without the defense announcing
that they were not prepared to 20 into

Lovers of fencing viii be interested
IN an invention which has Just been
tried in London, and which is said to
do away altogether with the difficulty
constantly experienced by an umpire in
Judging hits between two equally
matched competitors. This end, it is de-
clared, has been achieved by covering
the front Of each jacket with fine copper
or brass wire gauze, and connecting this
with the adversary's foil and an electric
bell (of the burglar alarm pattern) and
battery in the same circuit 1t follows
that when hit is made the circuit is
closed, and the bell rings and continues
to ring until stopped by the person in
charge. A special arrangement in each
foil handle provides that only direct
point produces a ring. Two entirely
electrically distinct circuits are used,
each including bell, foil and jacket;
6icks or blows or grazes produce no re-
suit The bells being of different tones,
and, moreover, placed on opposite sides
Of the room, there is no difficulty in de-
Gliding who has scored hit, or, in cases
of almost simultaneous hits, who deliv-
cred the point first. By a simple ar
rangement the wires passing from the
batteries to the combatants' collars are
kept we'll out of the way, however sud-
den may be their movements of advance
or retreat. In the London trial six Sc
lected amateurs competed for pair Of
foils, and five bouts were fought. The
experiments were completely successful.
A military expert Captain Hutton,
who was present, said that the device
would be Of great value at such compe-
titions as the royal military tournament.

800 OF these kiosks in Paris, which are let
from time to time at public auction, the
price paid at present being 240 francs q
year for each kiosk
The municipal council Of Paris is con-
sidering how in other ways it can raise
the revenue now obtained from these
sources, so as to restore sidewalks and
streets TO the use Of the public. Though
there ara undouhted abuses by which peO
pie walking in the streets are put to seri-
GUS inconvenience, it is TO be hoped that no
such radical step as the sweeping away Of
the open air shop displays and cafe terrasses
will be taken. Since Parisians have taken
to going to the seashore in summer, leav-
ing the stores on the boulevards to put out
their lights at 10 O'Clock, and since the
weekly raids Of the police, brought about
by the moral reform movement of the last
