MADE A TEST.
To Prove the Effects Of Coffee.

In order to be sure that it really
was coffee that had caused the trouble
to my Husband and Myself, we made
a careful test with the following re-
suits: We had been using coffee. more
or less, for twenty years. and for
many years Husband was troubled
with headaches. sluggish circulation,
and dizzy spells l had sick head
aches. stomach trouble and felt nerv-
Gus and Respondent most of the time.
Two years ago we began using Postum
Food Coffee in place of our coffee.
Husband soon began to improve, and
looked and appeared like another
person. All the old, disa greeable symp-
toms disappeared In order to be sure
that it was the coffee that had caused
the trouble he began drinking coffee
again. and the old dizzy spells. slug
gishness and headaches began to come
back. That settled it, and he i'm
mediately dropped coffee for good and
all. and has since been using Postum
and is perfectly healthy.

Tn all these decisions, and especially in the Downes case, one thing only is plain. namely, the Supreme Court is supreme even over its own decisions. When 1t can reverse a reversal, it holds an unique place among the high est courts of great nations. No one be- lieves the recent decisions in the in- sular cases will stand; they were se- cured by bare majority in the teeth of previous decisions, and the issue is as much before the people as it was before the decisions were rendered. The lugging in of an empire by judi cial decision will not be permitted to take place. The entire question goes to the people in 1904.

Education in Alabama.

The New York Times comments the speech of President Knox on assum- ing the chair of the constitutional con tion. It says the whites must control the State, and 1t does not see why any one should quarrel with MT. Knox's declaration that this control should be secured by process of law and not by force or fraud
 But the Times finds the most room for commendation in MT. Knox's dec larations as to public education and illiteracy, and we gladly give space to what it says on these points:
 "Colonel Knox took strong ground in favor of such action by the convention as would embody in the organic ground of the State provision giving a system of public education worthy of an intelligent and progressive community He secuted the idea that the people of Alabama are ''too poor to establish and maintain a public school system which will place within the reach of every child in the State the means of acquiring an educa- ton which will fit 1t for the duties and responsibilities of life" This is exactly the kind of talk the people of Alabama need from their own representative men. They not only require good school facili- ties, but they need a law which shall deny to illiterate parents the right to transmit the curse of ignorance to their children by. making non-attendance at school trua1cy and visiting appropriate penalties upon parents who permit or re- quire 1t. Nothing has so much retarded the development of Alabama as It's lack of a good educational system, and the readiness of the members of the Consti- tutionai Convention to repair this defect in its organic law as a hopeful indication of progress along lines promising a more uniform development than the State has thus far known
 All sections of the country are watching the Alabama convention with interest, and any attempt in this State to draw for the first time in the his- tory of public education race lines would call down upon the State public condemnation of the severest sort, to the great, injury of every leading inter- est. The investor and the immigrant would alike shun the State. Nothing of the kind should ever be proposed, and The Age-Herald feels confident the convention will prefer President Knox's advice to tfat of the dema- gogues who are appealing to prejudice and ignorance.

as physically strong. There never was a time when the regular army presented so stalwart. soldierly appearance as it does today. The men have always been we'll paid, and well clothed but not always we'll fed. Fifteen or twenty years ago the food was very skimp compared with what it is today. Our soldiers now get three square meals day and the quality and variety of their table fare Is all that any man could wish for. Only a small per centage of the people of the United States live as well as the regulars
 Captain Mitchell will remain here until December next. He will then, according to army law, be relieved of his recruit ing detail and returned to his regiment the Fifth Infantry Aside from the fact that he is an Alabamian he is extremely popular in Birmingham and his departure from this station will cause much regret.
 Mitchell was promoted to his captancy at the age of 30. He has made nearly thhirty-five files since his commission was issued but as there are four hundred and fifty captains of infantry, it will take him at least twelve or fifteen years to reach his majority. Once a major. how ever, he will not be long in working up to general rank. He stands a good show lieutenant general-before retirment age
 In the meantime Captain Mitchell is comfortable and happy in his present rank and if he is not a major in twenty years. he will not worry.

Neuroes in the Schools.

Those who propose to confine negro education to negro money, thus invit- ing in Alabama a vast mass of ignor- ance of small productive power, when every other Southern State without ex- ception proposes to teach all at pub lie expense to read, write and cipher those who advocate this retrogressive policy should at least vote in favor of local taxation for school purposes, be- cause through local taxation some communities can be spared from the evil effects of the negro-money-for-ne- gro-schools policy.
 It is scarcely reasonable to assume that Alabama proposes to be singular in this matter-to differ from each and every other Southern State in this re- spect. It is scarcely creditable that public education is to be bestowed on the powerful and to be taken from the weak It is scarcely sensible to assert that Alabama is ready to drop rapidly to the lowest educational posi- tion and condition.
 But if it be so, then by all means let the communities in the State that do not desire such a policy have the rouer of local tavafiop Tho conyan ton, in other words, surely will not go to that extreme which says the voters of given community shall not be al- lowed to tax themselves to educate all children within their bounds. For that would be a denial of self-government and home rule, as we'll as a reaction ary and aggressive movement we'll cal culated to alarm all who have the prog ress and prosperity of the State at heart.
 Public education is for all, the rich and the poor, the humble as well as the powerful alike, and any attempt to distribute it on class or racial lines would destroy it's value and effective ness. It would soon lead to the decay of the entire system, and this may be what the advocates of the policy in question are aiming at. The dema- gogues of the day are playing to the ignorance which overfiows the top gal lery.

The Presbyterian Creed.

Tho Communication of Rev. Dr. A. B. Curry of the First Presbyterian Church in yesterdays Age-Herald Is so dignifled in expression, so firm in belief and doctrine, as to call for spe- cial mention
 Many expressions have gone through the public prints as to the movements of the general assemblies of the two different divisions of the Presbyterian Church in America. Most radical have been some of the points of expression, and The Age-Herald, though a secular newspaper, thought it timely to com ment in a measure upon the apparent movement toward dissension and dis integration. Of course Presbyterian ism moves as we'll as the rest of the world. What suited other denomina- tions on this point more than century ago does not suit the progressive time with us now. What suited the Luther ans later on is not in accordance with the Presbyterianism of this age. Knox and Calvin may be back numbers in orthodoxy and practice, and might not meet the progressive spirit of this age. A little good-natured humor at the ex- r ee of ecclesiastical orthodoxy is all ways in order when no offense is in- tendaa| Bible tr,Nsaas 1iue. .fossser. Hu-' man creeds are not infallible.

 To my amazement I found the host and other guests dressed likewise. but against my plain black hose they sported stock ings of all colors of the rainbow.
 Upon the floor we sat, to dine-eating with chop sticks. Pretty girls waited up- on us bringing dish after dish upon ex- quisite lacquer trays. There was raw fish and baked fish and fancy dishes of eggs, sea weed served as a salad, fish again and rice, and cakes and tarts and all manner of pretty decorated dishes spread about upon the straw mating cov- ering the floor, until I was bewildered. With chop sticks I could do but little, but I did my best. I even ate raw fish dipped in soy-a sort of Worcestershire sauce and it was not bad.
 For five hours sat upon the floor, my legs twisted under me. trying to eat, lis- tening to talk, and music and acting from Geisha girls who came In to sing and
  charming, but, for the fact that not being able to move, my legs became cramped and my feet went to sleep.
 Finally the dinner and entertainment ended. was permitted to rise and stretch my legs, and, standing. bid my host adieu. Attendants ushered. me out. brought my shoes at the doorstep and called my 'rickshawman. (In Japan men haul you in little two wheel buggies. the men running and pulling you as fast as would speedy horse.) I observed large package in the bottom of the 'rickshaw, but thought 1t best to ask no question. At the hotel later my Japanese boy met me with the remark as he lifted the package, much heap good" Judge of my surprise whom the boy opened the package and exhibited to my gaze all the fish, rice, nick hacks and various other things served to me, at the dinner, which I had not con- stunned.
 After struggling for time with tho boy, Chaisai, for an explanation he gave 1t to me in this wise.
 Count K give you dinner. Give you much for eat. It yours. You no eat all- no have hungry. Will eat later. He give you all. You take with you. Eat when hungry. It all yours. He no could keep. He give you"
 did not eat it la!ter but Chaisai did, and he was the happiest boy one could imagine. He had hours of fish joy and seemed pounds heavier the next morn ing.
 Speaking of Japan, women have not the rights in that country which they enjoy in America. As rule they do not dine with their husbands and guests, but at- tend upon them at their meals and dine afterwards. They are more in the nature of servants. or rather of toys and play things. And while the laws of Japan do

ReversinQ Itself.

When the Supreme Court in the Downes case reversed Chief Justice MarshalPs declaration that 'the con stitution extends to all places over which the government extends" it was simply maintaining long record of self-reversals. It's record in that respect Is remarkable, and it goes to show that while we have a written constitution we have one that can be moulded to suit the purposes of the hour and the public taste, even the politics of the moment. Let us look at it's record:
 After holding twice throughout pe- riod of one hundred years that an in- come tax is constitutional, it suddenly wheeled about and declared an income tax levied by Democrats in President Grover Cleveland's administration to be unconstitutional.
 After deciding that the United States has no power to make paper money legal tender-a decision that was maintained down to the civil war the court was reorganized by adding more members to it, and decision was promptly rendered giving the govern ment unlimited power to make paper legal tender in peace or war. This is the greenback decision.
 It has been on both sides of the liquor question. At first it decided that a State may prohibit the impor- tation of alcoholic liquors, but now it holds that no State can do so. It has been, too, on. both sides of the stock certificate Question, at first holding that such certificates could not be is- sued under a State law, and now that they may be.
 It has jumped around in the most lively fashion over the authority to regulate commerce on our own navi- gable waters. At first 1t said Congress held exclusive authority in this partic- ular; later it said Congress had no such exclusive authority; now it says Congress has exclusive authority. It has reversed it's reversal, thus creat-. ing a record.
 In the famous Dartmouth College case it held that stste cannot change a charter to the. detrinAent of the char tered, but now it holds that a State can work its own will in such matters.

not permit of polygamy, at the same time the divorce laws are extremely lax. For instance, there are nine grounds for d. vorce. The last Is the simplest. It pro vides that husband may go before. a magistrate, occupying practically the same position as our probate judges in Alabama, and simply pronounce, My wife talks too much; she annoys me. I want a decree of divorce.'' Upon the payment of s1, the magistrates fee, the decree is granted. and the Jap Is permit ted to take unto himself immediately a new wife.
 But mere talk of love and declarations of the same do not win wives in Japan. Arrangements must be made with the father or guardian. and usually the would be groom must exchange finances for a wife. It matters not about the girls con- sent, she must do as she Is told by her parents. She is taught filiai devotion and to obey from childhood. She must marry the man of her parents choice without complaint. and look happy. whether she feels 1t or not.
 Apropos of Japan and China the in- crease in exports from the United States to the Orient has been phenomenal. Five ships are now plying between our shores and the Orient, where there was one five years ago. For twenty years past the statesmen of Japan have been devoting themselves to developing an educational system in their country; believing. as they do, that an educated people would soon become a people of development and of manufactures.
 In Japan there Is compulsory education Even the lowest of the coolie laborers can read and write. Twenty daily newspapers are published in Tokio alone. and the com bined circulation of the number runs up into millions of copies daily.
 Japan's great development and growth have been largely due to this compulsory educational system, adopted nearly a score of years ago. The people are taxed to maintain schools and every child is re- quired to attend.
 was rather amazed to read about the little talk which President Schwab of the steel trust made before some school boys in New York recently. He expressed the opinion that education for many young man was a severe handicap, and to an ex- tent was time wasted. He said boy lost many opportunities for future life if he did not apply himself to work by the time he was sixteen years of age.
 MT. Schwab apparently can't see beyond his own horizon. Because he started to work with nothing but grammar school education and was ambitious enough to study and learn at home he would appar- rently assume that all other boys would do likewise. In this he Is mistaken. As a matter of fact of the wealthy men of this country and of those who are drawing handsome salaries in proportion to the whole number of men engaged, the well educated are greatly in the majority.
