GROWING CHILDREN. The Period When the Nervous Activity
 Is At It's Greatest.

From the Home Doctor.
 Against the practice of giving tea and coffee to children, we cannot speak too strongly. Childhood Is the period when the nervous activity is at its greatest. The brain is ever busy receiving new inn pressions. Reflex action, coordination of muscles. and the special senses are all under a special course of training.
 The nervous system Is pushed to its utmost capacity. and long is the list of victims that follow it's over-stimulation. In these little people nothing but harm can come from the use of such cerebral stimulants as tea or coffee. Bad, then. as this practice Is. let us as phsicians be aggressive in it's prohibition.
 Do not be satisfied by answering No when asked as to its use, but let us teach the families with whom we come in con tact that such practice is evil. We speak emphatically, because not only among the poor and uneducated. but among the rich, who should know better. this prac- tice Is marvelously prevalent"
 Children like a warm beverage for breakfast and 1t Is we'll for them to have 1t if the drink be food and not a drug
 Postum Food Coffee is made to supply a rich nourishing liquid food with a crisp coffee taste, for those who cannot and should not use coffee. Analysis shows 1t to contain about 14 per cent of muscle forming clements and 66.11 per cent of energy and fat producing clements which go to nourish and sustain the deli cate nerve centers throughout the body and from which the vital energy pro- ceeds.
 The supreme importance of proper food in place of drugs is not generally understood. hut the success of child or adult depends largely upon proper sus- tenance for the body Children who de- pend upon the intelligence of their el- ders to furnish them with good food de- serve our most careful attention and thought upon this subject.

Even on these un- usual occasions. for me. when the air is ladened with the fragrance of American beauties such complaints are so numer- ous that I feel as If the combined odors of every well-known brand of perfume have passed into innoculate desuetude and Burkhalter's garbage wagons were all standing at the front gate.''
 After the addresses of the distinguished guests of the club the ladies discussed the question informally, but no action cf any kind was taken.

 Chief Austin's Statement.
 In speaking of the arrests Chief Austin said:
 'I have grown accustomed to men try ing to in1ure me for performing my duty. and am by no means worried over the present case. I may add that before any axe was brought into play in this raid l consulted legal authority and knew ex- actly my position in the premises.
 And too, you will do the police de- partment a favor to state to the gamblers if you know any of them or can reach them, that we propose to continue to do our duty and we will not rest until we mingham and made all the players leave or quit

Too much of sensation has been attempted over the report that wages were going down, and that the market for cotton goods, was of and that the mills would close It is a fact that today there are more orders for print cotton goods in the houses of at the market price, at which the orders were placed When this condition exists, what does 1t indicate? The simplest thing In the worldZthat the price must go up with such demand.
 And way ba' k of that the consumer is buying cotton goods all over the coun- try. This talk about the times getting hard the market falling off is all sensa- tion.
