AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN
Writes Interesting Tale.

p;ra The author of Under Palmetto ana

He writes interestingly Of how his free
ing of coffee and using Postum in its
place. II drank coffee in the ordinary form
for many years: nervous trouble involving
disturbance of the hearts action resulted.
"on coming to Texas fell into the habit
OF drinking coffee after hard. cold rides in
my practice or when in camp or on the
trail. My heart trouble soon became ex-
ceedingly agsravating. resulting In frequent
attacks Of what was pronounced angina
pectoris, severe, agonizing pain over the
heart extending to the back and sometimes
down the left arm.
I'm some of these attacks but for the time

podermically / could have survived but a
short time. 4
"At different times I abandoned the use o1e
coffee. believing 1t the cause of my troubles.

Ing satisfactory to take its place in the
way of a beverage. l returned TO its use.
1.-THE literature of Postum Cereal Coffee
came to my notice and 1 resolved to try it.
The directions for preparation were strictly
followed and found it an agreeable, ap-
tinued its use in my family for the past
year and a half or two years. during which
time have never had an attack Of my old
heart trouble, am capable now at the age
sof 81 years and do as much professional
and literary work as at any period in my
life. I can endure physical exercise with
out weariness, but with Zest and relish,
and have gained in weight from 134 pounds
to 165 pounds.
The doctor further refers to the wide
spread prevalence of heart trouble from the
use of coffee and tobacco, and speaks OF the
advantage gained by patients when they
leave off coffee and take Postum.
It must also be added that the poison OF
the coffee does not affect the heart In some
patients. but shows its work in the sto1n-
ach and bowels with one. perhaps in the
eyes with another. and kidneys with anoth-
er. and general nervous prostraton with
another.
II is never possible to tell Just where the
result of the poisoned nerve centers VIII
show forth. There Is but one way to sure
" cure such cases. and that Is by Insist
ing upon leaving off coffee and using Pos
tum in its place. Postum contains the eie-

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington, Feb. 19.-Representative
Kern of East st. Louis said to-day to The
Republic correspondent:
"Tha statement which appeared In Mon
days Globe-Dcmocrat to the effect that
am not a candidate for reelection is en-
tirely unwarranted and unauthorized. L
have told no living person that 1 would be
a candidate for reelection or that 1 would
not be a candidate for reelection. The time
for definitely deciding on that matter. in
nv opinion, has not arrived, and have not
had leisure to even give the matter con-
sideration.
Before / can become a candidate for re-
election it will become necessary for ME to
become a candidate for denomination. l am
here at my post of duty. attending to the
work assigned to me as a representative
in Congress l have no time in this season
of the year and with the important work
pending here to be running around election
eering. My work demands my presence
here, and l would like to be let severely
alone In the performance of it.
'"The unauthorized announcement in the
Globe Democrat Is. however. thoroughly in
line with the established policy of that I'M
reliable and bitterly partisan sheet. Why
do not they jump onto their Republican
members and other officials. who. while
they ought to be at their posts here are
running around their districts, engaged.

DISCRIMINATION IN LICENSE.
Retail Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton Brings Up a Question.

At meeting of Council No. 1 of the
Liquor Dealers Benevolent Association OF
Missouri yesterday, 1t was decided to cali
the attention of Excise Commissioner Sci.
bert TO the alleged discrimination In license
taxes as between grocers and regular re.
tail liquor dealers.
President Clarence Martin Of Council No.
l presided. and after the meeting John W,
Howard stated that the association would
present Its case to the Excise Commits
sioner.
THE law simply holds" said Mr.. How.
ard, that grocers who sell bottled beer
are only compelled to pay a license Of MOO
year, while no saloonkeeper can sell beer
under anything less than $500 license. We
think this is discrimina ton, and we would
like to have 1t corrected, though at pfeAs
ent there ts no special way of doing so.''
