STATE BOARD OF PARDONS
END OF JUDGE ZANE'S CoNNEC-
TION WITH THE BODY.
A Special Meeting Held and Reso-
lutions Adopted = Judge Zane
Makes a Brief Reply.

A special meeting of the state board of
pardonS was convened yesterday TO adopt
a set of resolutions expressive of the re-
gret felt at the retirement of Judge a
from membership in the board by reason
of the expiration of his term of office as
a justice of the supreme court. The reso-
lutions adopted are as follows:
Whereas, The wheels of time in their
unceasing revolutions have brought us to
consider the retirement of one of the
member of this board, the Honorable
Charles S. Zane. and
whereas. In severing the official rela-
ton which has existed for the past three
years. we deem it but fitting and proper
10 give expression to the sentiment of
high esteem and personal regard in which
we hold him,
retirement of Chief Justice Zane, this
board will lose a distinguished and valued
member, whose qualities of mine and
heart have so admirably fitted him to dis
charge the duties which devolved upon
him in that capacity.
He has been faithful and p%unctual in
attending upon the sessions of the board;
ever patient and painStaking in his efforts
to learn the facts of each case, n pos
sessed of a kindness of heart which was
ever ready to extend mercy where mercy
would accord with justice and right.
His was a kind and considerate nature,
but it did not blind him to his duty nor
Swerve him from IL. In his official rela-
tons he has ever been kind, courteous
and considerate; facts which serve TO in
tensify the regrets we each feel in saying
good bye to him, officially. and which
prompt US to express the nope that, to
whatever sphere of usefulness he may
hereafter be called, the continuity of his
successful and honorable career shall not
be broken; that in the years to come he
viii find some pleasure, as we are sure he
will find satisfaction. in recalling his Off
cial connection with this board, and the
pleasant relations which have existed be-
tween himself and its members"
Judge Zane responded in the following
manner
Gentlemen of the Board: These reso-
lutions have me by surprise, and !
deem a brief reply appropriate. 1 thank
you for the approval of my official con-
duct in connection with the board, and
for your expression of good will. 1t will
be a great pleasure in after life to look
back upon my conenction and association
with the board. 1t is a kin providence
of infinite wisdom that no man is com
PEELED to live altogether amid HI scenes
and occurrences that Immediately sur
round him. He is permitted to look back
on scenes in his past life. and to occa-
sionS that are agreeable-to the hilltops
where the sun is forever shining. 1t gives
me great pleasure to bear testimony to
the earnest desire of all Numbers of the
board to ascertain the truth in all cases
before 1t, and in your actions l can say
hat you have usually tempered discretion
with charity. / thank you in conclusion,
for your uniform courtesy and kindness
toward me- IN all occasions"

A GIRLS COMPLEXION
Comes From the Inside.


Whenever I failed to get my coffee
for breakfast. I would have a sick
headache before noon. 1t seemed TO
me a curious thing that a naturally
healthy girl should have sick spells of
this kind, unless she had been dosed in
the morning with something.
I naturally concluded that all was
not right, and inasmuch as 1 was in a
very nervous condition anyhow. L
went to the doctor for a nerve tonic.
He told me L would have to cult
drinking coffee, and when 1 said 1 could
not possibly dc it, because 1 always
got sick if I didn't have the coffee. he
aid: Use Postum Food Coffee" Well.
1 tried it twice, and gave it UP because
it tasted so iat
One day I a up to DR.. Ruggles'
infirmary, and remarked to Mrs. Rug
giles hat the doctor had told me that I
must leave off coffee. and wanted me to
use this n~ew-fangled stuff called
Postum but that it was positively
unbearable. She said: MY dear. you
ne have had a good cup of Postum
evidently" 1 said: mo. I never have.
1 have only tried it twice" "Well."
h said, you go back and look at the
package, and you will observe that the
directions insist upon continued boil
fng, at least fifteen minutes. not that
length of time for the pot to set on the
stove. but it must stay there until it
begins to boil. and then boil fifteen
minutes. L will guarantee you will
get a fine, delicious tasting, black. rich
cup of coffee, and, perhaps, better flaw
ored than any you ever tried before.
The old-fashioned coffee is actually
killing you" she said. You are terribly
and your complexion is q long
ways from what it should be at your
age"
Well, when I got home. 1 tried max
ing some Postum at once and followed
directions carefully, and I must say it
was just delicious. I have continued
to use it ever since.
I am well and hearty now. and my
complexion has cleared up so that dur
ing the last three months people re-
mark TO me continually: How clear
your skin ISL" 1 am naturally of a light
complexion, and fair. DR.. Rugglas has

Common soda is all right in it's place, and indispensable in the kitchen and for cook ing and washing purposes, but 1t was never intended for a medicine, and people who use it as such will some day regret it..
 We refer to the common use of soda to which thousands of people practice almost daily, and one which is fraugnt with dan ger; moreover, the soda only gives tempo rary relief, and in the end the stoma oh trouble gets worse and worse.
 The soda acts as mechanical irritant and cases are on record where it aecumu- lated in the intestines. causing death by in famma ton or peritonitis.
 Dr: Harlanson recommends as the safest and surest cure for sour stomach (acid dyS- pepsia) an excellent preparation sold by pepsia Tablets.
