If parents could realize what n crime
they commit in permitting children TO
have heavy drugs during their early
life. such drugs, for instance, as coffee.
which stunts their growth, prepares
them for dyspepsia and nervous
wrecks, they would do anything. go TO
any amount of trouble and care to
change the methods and give their
children the advantages that nature
demands to produce perfect specimens.
A SiXty-year-old woman writes: MY
over-indulgent papa used to say. at the
table, Why not let the child have what
she likes: it won't hurt her any He
referred particularly to my drinking
coffee, which l was very fond of as a
child. He honestly thought it didn't
hurt me. for with his strong body. APP
parently without nerves. he was not
consciously affected by coffee. but the
effect on me-a bundle of nerves-was
to develop restlessness and stunt my
growth.
The first effect after drinking coffee
was that of delightful eXhilaration and
feit courage and strength to attack
almost any amount of active work. but
in a few hours the reaction came. with
misery in my chest, palpitation of the
heart. and most unbearable pains in
my stomach.
FINALLY my attention was called TO
ioaluhi Sereal rood Coifee and we Sc
cured some of it, 1t was prepared ac-
cording to directions. but breakfast be-
ing delayed. the Postum got an extra
boiling, which developed all its virtues.
and we all fell in love with il from the
iirst moment. The change in our ply
sical health after drinking Postum was
something remarkable. We have as de-
licious coffee as any one could ask. but
1t is q perfectly healthy coffee and the
more we drink of it, in reason. the bet
ter we are. am satisfied that the in
creasing amount of heart difficulty of
late years. among young people, Is d.
rectly attributable to the use of coffee,
and IL is n great blessing to have so
safe and delicious n food coffee as Pos
tum. Please omit my name from pub

Mr.. COckePell Talks.

Mr.. A. B. Cockerell, general mana
ger of the Cherokee. Lsnyon smelling
interests. speaking of the shutdown
at Nevada, gives the following inter-
view to the Mail, of that place. In
cideptally he mentions that the COM
psny's works at Gas City. Allen
county, will be pushed right along,
and, considering that he was talking
to coal worshippers, his statements
about the gas are very strong. he
said, in part:
High price of ore and poor de.
mand and consequent low prices for
spelter is the cause OF closing down.
Having complete plant in gas fields
and expect to start it up at once and
as the cost of spelter is so much lees
in gas fields than in coal fields, when
the best that can be done is to swap
dollars it is a poor business policy to
run'works, especially when by run
ming the works we keep the price Of
spelter down. Buying less ore and
shipping less spelter will certainly
help the situation, and as some fur
naces are old, we have concluded to
shut down at least part of our plant
until the demand for spelter inn
proves.
"Will certainly run part of the
kilns to roast ore tor our new plant
IN the gas fields, as we are short OF
kiln capacity at that plant. Have no
intention of shutting down the plant
now running at Pittsburg, as there
are not enough furnaces in natural
gas region to entirely supply the
trade. If 1t improves as it usually
does at this season of the year then
some coal furnaces will undoubtedly
run.
Don't believe gas plants will in.
crease their capacity and some coal
furnaces will undoubtedly have tC
run to supply the demand for speltel
which is increasing every year The
closing do Wn of these works will help
the general situation, of course, as il
will mean 25 cars of spelter pei
month less thrown on the market
and so cars more of ore to be
marketed.
"Gas furnaces in Indiana have
been idle six months. Gas supply
failing and unable to compete with
coal furnaces here. Nothing to feal
from them, but gas in lola district il
quite strong and in my opinion will
last several years"

Fifty Goats Arrive.

Fifty Angora goats arrived in lola
last week from Woodlief, Kansas.
They were consigned to j. Il. Tired
way, OF Elm township, and he pro-
poses to put them on his farm and let
them root for living. Goats are
great scavengers, as is readily UNDER
stood after getting on the lea side OF
one, and they will be used to make a
clean sweep of Mr.. Tredway's farm.
Then some day he intends to shear
them, as their wool goes 10 the max
ing at mohair goods, the fleeces being
really worth about as much as the
goats cost. Mr.. Tredway ie one of
the progressive farmers of Allen
county, and this experiment with
goats Is another evidence that he Is
prscticing some of the modern
methods which he breaches.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
T. s. Slower Finds That
Amount of Money 'in an
old desk at the Court
House
CITY COIL < GAS BONDS
The Question now is Wheth-
er the sum is due the City
From Itself or by De-
fault

Captain Z. 5 Slower is certainly a
friend of the newspaper man for he
succeeds somehow in finding things
which are of public interest. Last
week In going through an old desk
which he has used for ten years, in
Guiding the years he was mayor, he
found two old bonds Issued by the
city OF lola to the lola Coal d Gas
Company, part of the issue of $4,000
made in 1887 to prospect for gas. The
two bonds are for 5000 each and one
has two unclipped coupons attached.
Neither had been cancelled so that
the $500 represented has probably
never been paid by the city and the
question is, has the private owner
allowed them to become outlawed or
were the bonds held by the tity.
Mr.. Slower has vague recollection
that the latter may be the case.
Sometime in the past there was a
motion put before the council to in
vest some of the surplus cash in the
Cemetery Fund in these bonds as
they bore six per cent. Whether
this was done or not, he is not sure.
The records of the city are in a
mighty hazy condition ever since the
fire which consumed all history of the
past, and among other things all
trace was lost of some of the bonds
OF the city.
All the interest Mr.. Slower has in
the matter is to see that the bonds
reach their proper owner and the
council should look into the matter
and find out. If possible, If the old
town has had a streak OF luck and
fallen heir to $500. She can stand
the strain.

A PRO-BOER MEETING.



Washington, Jan. 22.-The Grand
opera house, with the largest audi
forum in Washington, was packed
to the doors last night with an en-
thusiastic audience which vigorously
expressed its sympathy with the
Beers in their fight with Great Brit
ain. The demonstration was planned
as means of evidencing public senti-
ment and in numbers and enthusiasm
was fully up to expectations. The
speakers included members of both
branches of congress and on the
stage were other public men who came
merely to add their moral support
The keynote of the speeches was that
the Beers were fighting for their in
dependence as our forefathers had
done in 1776. The meeting was called
to order by the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, NJ. p. II. Moran,
the national treasurer of the Ancient
Order of Ilibernians, who, latter few
words of welcome, introduced Con.
gresham Sulzer as the presiding Off
Ger of the evening.

The foregoing statements by Mr..
Rodgers fully bear out all the REGIS
TER has said heretofore about the
good things In store for lola by reason
of the large capital, the broad gauge
management and the enterprise of
the Lanyon Zinc Company. Since
this Company acquired the smelters
here little over year ago, it has
spent over a hundred thousand dol
lars in improving them and extending
them and in developing the immense
gas territory which 1t controls. And
this expenditure is but small part
of that which is contemplated. With
gas lands which assure 1t unlimited
fuel for at laast generation to come,
with financial resources which are
reckoned in millions. and under the
guidance of men who have success
fully managed some of the largest
business enterprises of this country
it Is easy to believe that the develop
ment already made is but begin
ming of what the future will witness.

Annexation to the United States is
Mooted.

WASHINGTON, July 9.-Annexation
to the United States is being discussed
In Switzerland, according to a report
received in the State Department from
Consul General Guenther in Frankfort.
The movement is largely due to the
protective tariffs of European coun
tries. which exclude Swiss goods, Lead
ing Swiss statesmen to look about with
a view TO forming close relations with
some other Government. Mr.. Guenther
incIoses this extract from the Allge-
nleine Sehweizer Zeitung:
I'm spite of the dark sides which are
also found there the United States is
full of the air of freedom. Switzerland
would lose nothing if she would become
a State of the United States of Amer
lea. 1t is a well-known fact that sew
eral States CT the American Union are
much more Independent than several
cantons of Switzerland, and our coun-
try by such an alliance would sacrifice
none of her liberties. All she would
have to do would be to send her repre-.
sentation to Washington. Economical
| ly and politically, she would gair
everything.
