''And you might bring me cup of
weak coffee, too" a busy man said
to a restaurant waiter when giving
an order.
What makes you call for weak
coffee, SamT' a friend remarked.
20, l have no business to drink
coffee anyhow, but l don't care for
chocolate or tea, and do like coffee,
although it raises the old harry with
my nerves and stomach"
Many q man fails in business be-
cause of his physical inability to at
tend to it properly. When q man
wakes up and looks squarely at him
self and his affairs he will break of
those habits that weaken his body
and prevent him from pushing his
plans to successful issue.
Tobacco and coffee seem so harm
less that man feels they cannot
hurt him seriously and for that rea,
son sticks to them day after day un-
til his nerves give out and q long
period of nervous prostration sets in.
While man is sick his business goes
lowell, experience shows that il
don't go right, and that a sick spell
is q wonderfully expensive invest
ment.
Quit the poisonous habits, and ma
ture will slowly rebuild the broker
system without the use of medicines.
1t is not SO hard to give over coffee
when one can have Postum, a bever
age which looks like the finest Mochs
coffee. and creams up with the gold
en- brown of rich old Java. 1t isvery
nourishing and fattening, and has
| the pungent, piquant taste de-
manded by the coffee drinker, at the
same time it can be used by children
as well as adults.
Nothing which nature furnishes is
superior to the grains for making
gray matter in the brain and nerve
centers Postum. the food drink, is
made wholly and entirely of the

PERIL IN THE COMMUNION CUP.
Tho Danger OF Communication Disease Again
Urged In Canada.


TORONTO. June 12.-There was a remarkable
discussion on the alleged unsanitary use of tho
wine cup at the Lords Supper In the Toronto
Methodist Conference to-day. One layman said
some churches had three or four cups. II Meth.
odists were to celebrate the sacrament In tho
manner in which Christ did. they would have to
go further back and, instead of going to the
communion rail or remaining In their seats,
would have to introduce couches and lie on each
others bosoms.
Some medical delegates condemned tho use of
q common cup, holding that 1t was u danger to
society through its liability to distribute disease
germs. One doctor asserted that the opinion OF
the professors WAS that receiving the cup In that
prOmiscuous way was a diaboiical practice
owing to the perils the practice involved.
The Rev. DR.. Potts said he had seen behind
the communion cup men trailing their largo
mustaches in the wine. lie thought the com
municant should keep his upper Lip bare.
A doctor was convinced that thousands would
stay away from communion in churches where
a general cup was In use. He would like to
have the churches adopt the individual cups.
The question was very near TO him. as he wished
to partake OF the divine sacrifice, but because of
of the chances OF disease.
President Stone said grave suggestions have
been made about the following OF old customs.
1t had taken 1900 years to discover this great
peril to Christians. and he thought the con-
ference should have the fullest possible informa-
ton. The matter was referred to q committee
to investigate.

DIR. HOLINESS "hUTooRAE."
The Supreme Court 60 Decide whether the Al
thor or the Famous work Haa = Copyright.

The Supreme Court 20 Decide Nvhether the Au-
thor or the Famous Work Hnd . Copyright.
WASHINGTON, Juno 1.-the Supreme Court
will DO asked to say whether or not Oliver Wen
dell Holmes had a copyright on his famous
work, The Autocrat OF the Breakfast Table"
According to n decision by the Court Of Appeals
for the second circuit no had not, and the appeal
Of Oliver Wendell Holmes. Jr., ancillary oxecu-
tor OF the will Of his father. from that decision
was docketed to-day. 1t will probably DO heard
at the n,xt term of court. AS such executor.
Judge Holmes brought suit for an injunction to
restrain George d. Hurst from publishing an
edition of the book. Hurst defended on tho
ground that the author. had never legally, so
cured a copyright, and the court sustained him,
dismissing the bill.
1t was shown that tho title was deposited in
itself on Nov. %. Subsequent. renewals were
privilege until the year 1900. But 1t appeared
that the work was published In parts, running
through the atlantic Monthly from October.
1857, to October, 1858. and that neither tho
magazine nor the separate parts were copy
righted. This. the court held, was a fatal de-
feet, the law requiring that q copy must be
deposited before publication. The contention
that the whole book was something different
from it's parts, and therefore entitled to a copy
right. Notwithstanding the previous publication
Of tho separate chapters, the Court said, was q
refinement of distinction that tho statute did
not warrant.
