The ''FiOld Up" Man. Coffee

Few people know how many. persons

drinking. A trained nurse relates her
experience with a number of different
persons She says. quite a long tine

cause of the violent palpita ton of my
heart and frequent sick headaches, and
attacks Of Indigestion, so quit coffee
and went onto hot water not knowing

Quite a while after quit coffee my
husband began to complain of coffee
coming UP in his mouth more or less
during the forenoon, and it made it
very disagreeable for him. One day
said, Suppose we try that Postum Food
Coffee which is advertised so much So
we did and I prepared it according to
directions The beverage proved delic-

Warden JeWett Says Raw Ma
terial is Too Expensive.

Warden E. B. Jewett believes that the
price Of binding Irvine win stay up for
several years to come unless the Phil
ippine product can be brought to the
United States free Of duty at either
end. At present there is an export duty
on the raw material in the Philippines.
This opinion is the result Of Mr.
Jewetts trip TO the hemp plantations of
Yucatan last winter, and his subse-
quent Investigations. It is almost I'M
possible to get enough labor in Yucatan
that viii increase the hemp production
and the Philippine product is too ex-
pensive when the export duty is added
A provision has been made to give
rebate on Philippine hemp that IS eX-
ported into the United states and man
ufactured into Irvine here, but it IS such
a labOrious process to secure the rebate,
and there is so much red tape about II
that it is hardly worth the while MI
JeWett has asked some of the members
of the Kansas delegation in congress
to have d law passed simplifying the
process and allowing Philippine hemp
to come direct to the United States
without any sort Of duty at either
end
There are about three thousand
hemp plantations on which the Irvine
sisa1 is raised" said Mr.. JeWett IN dis
cussing the tWine situation. Down
there it is a question of labor in rails
ing the stuff The only people who can
or viii work at it are the poems or
descendants from the Aztec Indians. Al.
experiment was made in shipping some
Porto Rican laborers there to work on
the plantations, but it was not a sue
cess The poems spend their lives on a
single plantation They go with place
when it is sold.
THE plantations are as fiat as a table
and just about as barren of soil. The
plants seem TO grow right~on the bare
rock. There are dummy railroads run
ming to some of the plantations, and the
rails are laid right on the bare ground.
This year the Sisal costs 50 much

Dubois, Pa, June 3-The mystery
surrounding the disappearance Of
Elihu Dixon, the wealthy land owner
and coal merchant of this place, Fri
day, May %. continues to grow deep
er. A searching party of 80 men
secured the woods lying between the
Pennsylvania railroad station at Sa-
bula, the place at which the trace Of
him was lost, and one of his farms
The search was instigated by his rela-
tives, who fear thtt he has met with
foul play. Nothing was revealed by
the search, however.
After every foot of the woods had
been secured a search was again made
through the several coal mines owned
by him, but the result was the same as
when the mines were searched on O
former occasion. and when the search
of the woods was concluded.
There is one more place to be
searched in the vicinity of the point
where trace of him was lost That is
the Sabula dam, a large body of water
on the Dubois estate. In this dam
his body could have been disposed of
had he been murdered, or he could
have committed suicide by drowning
himself in it. The dam will be drained
