HONEST DOCTOR
speaks. of Coffee Drinking.

About coffee drinking, DR.. Hewet says,
81 have the best of reasons for naming
coffee as among the most dangerous OF
slow poisons. My own personal expert
ence outside of the general experience
gained by my practice has taught Nne
truth.
At about 16 1 became member of
young peoples society whose pledge
barred the use of all intoxicants, tobacco,
tea and coffee, until the age Of Fl. kept
nv pledge and. early temperate habits
were formed. Up to about my 3Oth year
I was an athlete; no one had better
health or spirits. .~ ..:.,-- -.
A short time after passing 30 I. be-
gan the use Of coffee at breakfast with
an occasional cut at evening parties. The
first symptoms of i'll health / remem-
Der came soon and later, sore mouth and
stomach trouble. Finally we'll marked
dyspepsia supervened My bowels SYM
pathized, of course, also my nervous sys-
tenn became impaired. Dizziness attacked
me, and tremulant hands rendered writing
exceedingly difficult. My diet had to be
restricted Experienced medical advisors
forbade all fruits. -.. . 49,.
Several attacks of gastritis troubled me
and bowel complaint became quite fire.
quent The shadow of melancholia
nsnaced me and caused me to wonder
VIZ man of my lineage, strength and
endurance anu temperate naDlIS SnOulO
be thus afflicted.
Eminent specialists named it 'miasm,
others as noted said microbes now
say coffee arabica.' Why? Because for
the first thirty years / did not drink cof-
fee and enjoyed good health, the second
thirty years coffee drinking became a
habit and illness more than kept pace
with the indulgence.
I am now past 60 years Of age. About
is months ago I saw shrewdly writ ten

gave it careful reading and thought, and
as an experiment substituted Postum for
Java and Mocha. For the first three days
of the change l felt, keenly, the loss OF
the stimulant, after that the nutrient
quality of the drink more than compen-
stated THE deprivation, and an astonishing
change came in recurring hunger three
times daily; I could scarcely wait fol
meals. a sensation had not had for more
than thirty years.
Now my health is excellent. eat fruits
OF all kinds and food as my appetite de:
n1ands I am regaining my nervous tone
and my strength is increasing daily. Elk
cept my change from coffee to Postum
have made no change in my mode of liv.

Do you wonder that name coffee az
among the most dangerous of slow pois
ons?

Examining Accounts.

Reference was made yesterday to the
comment in this city over the disorderei
condition of the financial affairs and
books of a certain secret society. A
meeting of the organization was held
last night for the purpose of making a
more thorough examination of the affair,
butno definite action was taken. Friends
of the man toward whom attention has
been attracted express the hope that he
NAV have such assets as will aid in a
partial settlement of the matter, or that
time be allowed him in which to make
good any discrepancies. Another meet
ing of the organization will be held at an
early date for the purpose of further ar.
ranging for a settlement of the matter.

Transnorted i'm Country Cart,

Considerable excitement was caused
near the Southern Railway depot about
noon today by the disorderly conduct OF
an old woman named Mary Gallahorn
and Sonny Switzerland, a young man.
Officer Garvey appeared while the trouble
was in progress aud placed both under
arrest. Switzerland had pruning
knife in one hand and at first defed the
officer, but the latter soon disaImed
him. Mr.. A. J. Payne, of lower Fairfax,
was driving his team in the vicinity at
the time, and he was pressed into service
for the purpose ofconveying the prisoners
to the station house. On the way
thither considerable merriment was oc-
casioned people in the streets by the
antics, loud talking and gesticulatlons
of the prisoners. They were placed in
cells opposite each other, and they and
Abe Davis, an emanation of Tooley
street, endeavored to see which could do
the most loud talking. The tailor had
a two-dollar bill left after his adventures
with King Bacchus and he offered to give
it to any one who entered the corridor if
he would unlock the door and iberate
him

Death of Mr., Power.

The many friends and acquaintance
OF Mr.. Frank j. Power will regret to
learn that that gentleman died at an
carly hour this afternoon at his home IN
West End. The deceased had been in
ill-health for a number OF years.
Rheumatism developed and paralysis
followed few days ago, when his con-
dition became critical, since which time
there had been but few hopes enter
tanned of his ultimate recovery. The
deceased leaves a widow and eight chill
dren. Mr.. Power was known TO nearly
all residents of the city, he having for
years been superintendent of the Alex
andr.a Water Works aud collector of
the rents. In early life he acquired
the plumbers trade, and at the out
break of the civil war was member of
the Mount Vernon Guards, afterwards
company f, Seventeenth Virginia In-'
fantry. During the progress of the four
years conflict he was elected lieutenant
of Company G of the same regiment and
held that commission at the final surren-
der. He returned to this city at the close
of the war and was subsequently elected
Superintendent of the Alexandria Water
Works, position he held at the time of
his death. Mr.. Power was also at one
time member of the Alexandria police
force and, it will be remembered, was
shot in the leg by negro whom he at
tempted to arrest. His death is sincere
~ regretted by his many friends and
acquaintance, with whom he was de-
servedly popular. Mr.. Power had from
its organization been a member of Il. Z.
Lee Camp of Confederate Veterans.

Electric Car on Fire.

Passengers in a car on the Washington
Railway Alexandria and Mount Vernon
had fire scare as the car neared the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing in
Washington about noon yesterday. The
flames appeared suddenly from the floor
on the front platform and were seen first
bv Motorman Young, who shouted a
warning. The car was quickly stopped
and the occupants made hurried,
though orderly, exit. The fire started,
it is supposed, by piece of wire being
caught from the street in the wiring be-
meath the platform, thus interfering with
the electric circuit. The flames were
soon extinguished The damage to the
car was slight.

the running away of a horse belonging
to Mr.. Lambert Lyles, marketmastcr.

attempts were made to check the horse,
but it reared and paid but little atten-
ton to the reins, finally breaking the
swingletree and running out of the
shafts. The frightened animal ran
down King street. causing considerable
CONSERVATION among pedestrians and the
drivers of other vehicles. When 1t

The Astute Salesman.

An astute salesman was enjolned by
his employer to be strictly honest but
to sell goods. Next day the salesman
displayed some new fabrics, saying to
the lady shoppers, Here is some calico
that looks just like silk" But they
turned up their noses scornfully. The
following day he said to the same
shoppers, "Here is some silk that Is
made to look like Calico" and they
bought every yard of 1t. This shows US
that we should use due judgment as to
which end OF O truth is first presented.
