CONFESSES TO RASCALITY.
Detective Green Conn Says He ami
Slaughter Whacked Up.

Atlanta oct. 17-There We're no pyro-
technics at the continuation of the Slaugh-
ter investigation tonight, and the only
th ng of interest was the testimony of De-
tective Green Conn. According to his con
fession, he and Slaughter made divy on
everything that came their way. even fall
styling expense accounts in order to jim
gle their pockets
Conn freely told of many Irregularities,
giving detailed instances where he and his
chief would whack up. favorite plan
with them would be to charge up railroad
fare when Conn was gaddng about over
the country on free passes. Conn freely
admitted enough tonight 10 put him
across the bars, apparently without any
compunctiOns of conscience, but insisted,
in spite of the rigid cross examination and
IN answer 10 Attorney Rosser's sarcastic
alluson, that Slaughter was as deep in
the mire as he was. He admitted that he
had share in any rascality that was go
ing on.
The most damaging part of his tesu-
mony was that he rendered an expense
account to Slaughter in the Taylor di-
vorce case of $50 worth of work done In
Macon, that Slaughter raised the figures
to $97.92, aud that \. j. Twiggs of Au-
gusta, brother of Mrs Taylor. paid the
bill. The check for this payment is in the
hands of the defense who refused to give
il up 10 the prosecution, although they
stated in their places that they would in
troduce it at the proper time.
Twiggs, in a letter, said this check was
payable TO Slaughter 1t is said that it is
indorsed by Conn, and the defense will be
that Conn received the entire amount The
defense, of course. will try to break down
the force of COnn's evidence by attacking
his veracity, but If he is speaking the truth
both he and Slaughter are amenable to an
ndictable offense.
Tomorrow night will probably close the
case, which for "a second time has put
portion of the Atlanta detective force in
unsavory repute.

A SCIENTIFIC REPORT ON
COFFEE
shows II Can he Used by Some, and
Is Poison to Others.

A gentleman connected with the New
berry Library, Chicago, has gone very
carefully through the medical department.
consulting and compiling from the hest
works of this country and abroad, on the
value of coffee.
There is abundance of evidence 10 show
that in some cases coffee. used as a slim
uiant is of advantage while with many
human systems it is a decided poison
which will build up chronic conditions of
disease if made use of steadily
The Investigator writes I'VE have used
for years your Postum Food Coffee and
found nothing to fiji its place" Among
his quotations appears the following:
''One of The highest authorities n Ma
teria Medica and Therapeutics in England
says: Caffeine, which is the stimulating
part of coffee, is. in general terms, a slim
ulant first. and subsequently a paralyzant
to the nerve centers in the cere ebellum
medula and spinal cord.
I'm small doses il quickens the activity
of the heart and raises arterial tension
Larger doses often over-stimulate the
cerebral circulation. causing great heavi-
ness Of the head, flashes of light before
the eyes, insomnia, rest!cssness. and even
delirium. Administered in sufficient guam
tty, it would doubtless prove fatal to
man"
TO thousands OF people, coffee.
OF which caffeine is its chemical
structure, is therefore poison.
Languor. restessness and prostralion
follow as result in The system
when the habit of its continuance is ac-
quircd. This is followed by muscular
Tenor and sometimes dizziness, with
nervous dyspepsia and insomnia in fact
a train Of depressing ails frequently not
trsceable to the beverage which never in
ebrates but is in reality The source"
The gentleman concludes his long and
very interesting paper on the subject with
the statement, Companies similar 10 that
of the Postum Cereal Co, Lid. of Battle
Creek are 20 be multiplied and stand as
bonefactors Of the race Whatever our
personal preferences let us not class these
changes in dietary to peculiar views and
theories but rather as generally recog-
uized and accepted truths a valuable ac-
quisition of progress and iuvestigation
scientific and phlaui hropic."
The rapid pace lived by American BRAIN
workers has forced them to seek food and
drink that quickly and surely rebuild the
exhausted energies, and such people rs
q rule feel the disastrous effects Of con-
Gnued use Of coffee. II is 40 furnish thig
