A PHYSICIAN HURT.

When the doctor himself brings on
heart disease by the use of coffee IT is
time for ordinary people to think care
fully of the effect of that beverage.
The. testimony of DR.. o. w. Mathewson,
1854 Penn. Ave, Des Moines, Ia, is as
follows. His letter is rather long and
this extract is necessarily condensed:
81 am a physician of Is years practice.
l felt the need of a stimulant and for the
first five or six years of my practice used
strong coffee. Eight or ten years ago
began to notice symptoms of heart dis
ease. This seemed to be a regular or
ganic type and year by year became ag-
gravated. Dizziness. faintness and later,
inability to walk. at times.
Physicians could find no marked
symptoms of disease, but thought there
might be of a kind that escaped obser-
walton. Finally l became a confirmed
invalid and gave up practice.
Several years elapsed with the symp-
toms growing worse. l was considered
as marked for an early grave. 1t finally
became impressed upon me to give up
coffee. This l found easier to do when
Postum Food Coffee was used in its place.

with any hope of benefit from such a
simple change, especially in such an in
durable case as mine. l was debiltated
and very weak and about 80 pounds short
of my old weight.
From the first week l noticed a marked
change, and within three months | was
almost fully restored to my old strength

SUPPOSE A Few OWNERS DIED

Three or four hundred men went to
their death in another coal mine explo-
sion yesterday. A few days ago similar
sacrifice occurred in British Columbia,
and few days before that hundreds of
men were stricken down in Tennessee.
When Is this fearful loss Of human life
in it's prime with all it's attendant mis-
cry, woe and sorrow, to be stopped?
: Is It possible that modern skill and
modern science can not prevent these
horrible catastrophies?
It would be Interesting to know how
many of these explosions are due to
human neglect and carelessness and in
difference, and how many to causes that
are beyond the power Of man to prevent.
Some may be as uncertain and little
capable of prevention as an explosion Of
Mont Pelee. Others are undoubtedly the
consequences OF human greed and under
valuation of human life.

this subject, we submit that the follow
ing is;a fair statement: 13,t.. @

or imprisoned for life, as responsible for
accidents in their mines, the number of

The Toronto Mail and Empire, says that
whoever posted the notice ought to be
drummed out of the British army, If he
is an officer. The notice was peculiarly
British in two respects. It breathes that
cruel disrespect for supposed interiors

which the British officer holds the coll.

The bible In the Public schools.

; r the Bible In tine :fuDl1c SCHOOLS -
To the Editor of The journal:
: Clear views of facts regarding the Bible will
dispel the confusion of ideas regarding its
use in the public schools. In, the nature and
fitness of things the Bible must re excluded
from schools supported by the state for the
following reasons = = ...sas<
SFirst-The Bible lays claim to be the word
of God and the exclusive authority in de-
termining questions of religion and OF man s
be valid by all who desire TO bse known as
Christian believers, however much they may
differsin the Interpretation, Of Its teachings.
second-It is self-evidentS that no teacher
the Bible in school instruction as mere classic
literature :without-violating most sacred con-
victions Of conscience. - ! ets,
Third Ethical teaching that would ignore
the work of the Holy Spirit and the doctrine
of redemption as set forth: in innumerable
Scripture passages, would involve a denial
of the foundation truths that differentiate the
Christian religion from all other religious
systems The religion taught in the Bible
is radical and exclusive, and can admit of no
compromise.
Fourth logically considered, the absolute
separation of church and state, as demanded
by four5 form of government, excludes the
Bible from our public schools as a. text book;
and to treat.it as mere classic literature would
involve "a desecration OF the Bible to which
no, true Christian could consent. - 5fs
Fifth--Our homes, our churches and the
schools connected with them, are absolutely
untramme1ed by governmental restrictions in
matters of spiritual interest and religion Let
these in their several spheres do their duty.
It is the only way in which moral and re-
hgious interests can De conserved; It re,
mains to be seen whether the Intelligent and
highly educated American people will com
tinue to foster the spiritual a1d religious life
Of the rising generation, or whether the ag-

To the current number Of the North Ameri-
can Review, United States Commissioner of
Labor Wright contributes a paper on strikes
in the United States. He begins with the first
recorded strike in 1741, when the New York
bakers struck for higher wages, and brings
the record up to 1900 During the twenty
years, 1881 1900, there were 22.793 strikes,
involving n7,5O9 establishments. throwing out
of employment 6. 1O5, ,694 men; lasting an aver:
age of 23.s days, with loss of wages to em-
ployes, $257, ,86s 47s; loss to employers, $122,-
7a1, ,121, and ,793 assistance given by
labor unions to employees only 57.T per cent
OF the strikes were successful 13 succeeded
partly and 1918 per cent failed. Including
lockouts, the employers and employees lost
sass, 1868, ISL OF the whole number of strikes
Il, ,457 were ordered by labor organizations.
The largest percentage of strikes was for
wage increase. Mr. Wright thinks these
figures suggest rather strongly the advisa-
bility Of making every effort to adjust differ
ences and deal with grievances in way to
prevent open outbreak. Dr.. Lederie New
York's commmissioner Of health discusses
municipal suppression of infection and con-
