"A NEW TEXT
Southern Preacher Gives. Food for
Thought.

Coffee works in many different and I'M
suspected ways. Mr.. 2. L. Wesson, pas
tor Of Baptist Church Of Sardis, Miss,
writes:
81 loved coffee from my infancy, and
never knew Of it hurting me- until was
thirty-three years old. suffered with
headaches if forced to do without it,
and sometimes used it three times day,
but headache had been one Of the ills
Of our family and therefore I thought
it was an inherited evil, for which cof-
fee was special remedy, but about nine
years ago I began to suffer from sleep
lessness, which continued until it SEEM
ed as if the nerves would wreck for want
OF sleep, and yet could not sleep.
"A friend suggested that quit coffee
except for breakfast, which I did, and so
found that L could sleep a little better,
but my headaches continued, and my
nervous system would sometimes seem
as if the very fbres of my flesh were
moving within me. It went on until
three years ago I began to suffer at
night with an itching sensation on my
limbs below my knees and on my arm
below the elbows, and sometimes all over
my body, but there was no eruption on
the skin; the flesh was smooth and
white. + consulted several good physi-
clans, but with no avail
s.t had no idea that. the coffee drank
in the morning caused it, but finally de-
cided to stop coffee for while, and try
Postum Food Coffee. Wife made it
according to directions, so that liked
it equally as we'll as coffee. had no
idea that it would relieve the awful Itch
ing deep down in my flesh, but thought
7 would try it to see If there was any
virtue in it. Il had used 1t only few
days, when discovered that the itching
was not so severe. When I had used 1t
ten days, my wife said: What is the
matter with you? You do not seem to be
troubled with that itching sensa tion.'
II told her that ]. did not know what was
L the cause, but knew that I was not
troubled with the itching any more, and
was thankful for it.
81 i then went over to preach in another
town, and while there drank some strong
coffee, and the itching returned When
I came back home. II commenced using
Postum again. and the itching ceased:
Then I decided that coffee in some way
produced the itching. drink Postum
three times a day, and rest as well as I
ever rested, and never have headaches
any more. Il believe that hundreds Of
preachers who suffer from Indigestion,
nervousness and worry. would find rest
and health IL they would quit coffee and
use Postum. g - -

On top OF the rumor that q compromise

when the matter of a higher saloon II.
.cense is taken up. comes q statement t l,a
q number OF liquor men will endeavor 70
have an excise board estao lished 7. with
power to practically manage the whiskey
traffic. Some saloon men favor this IDEA.
while Others are firmly opposed to such
q step. They would rather see q little
higher license.
A number OF councilme were seen yes
terday afternoon and asked concerning
their views on an Excise Board, and and TO
a man they were opposed to the creation
OF such a body They seemed OF the opin-
ion that the liquor traffic was matter
for the Council to regulate, and not 1or
a body Of saloon men. A slight increase
in license seemed to catch them. II any
thing is to be done.
The chances are that the different prop
ositions will result In the defeat Of the
Crenshaw measure, while the license for
saloons may be increased.
