A COMPARISON
In Money and Food Value.

sCoffee had been used in our family
for years. and we all drank it except
Husband who gave it Up years ago
because it injured his health" writes a
lady from Granville. Ohio.
Last year we spent the summer in
the northern woods. Among our table
supplies unknown to my husband, had
taken along several packages of Postum
Food Coffee, but it was stored away and
forgotten for weeks. during which time
we used coffee.
zone day my husband said: I wish it
were possible to get some Postum. 1
would like to try it. Two hours later. at
dinner, I served him a cup. brewed ac-
cording to the directions on package.
His surprise was complete: the taste
pleased him and he drank a second cup.
From that hour we continued to use
Postum with gratifying satisfaction,
and not another cup of coffee has ever
come TO our table.
MY husband found that it did not
produce the distress that forced him to
renounce coffee and that it strengthen
ed his nerves and stopped all his stom-
ach trouble. Its effect on me was no
less gratifying; though I had drunk
coffee but spaTingly, 7 had suffered con-
siderably from it. 1t disordered my
nerves ana disturbed my liver EOSluill
corrected these evils and proved soda
tive and most wholesome food
I'VE were both interested in the com
parative cost of coffee and Postum "
had always paid So cents a pound for
coffee. A large package of Postum costs
25 cents and weighs one pound and a
quarter. Though we drank Postum
more freely and frequently than we had
coffee we found that the large size
package of Postum lasted as long as
two pounds of coffee. a difference of 40
cents in favor of Postum. In year
this saving of money was cons1derab Die,
and this fact recommends Postum TO all
people who believe in economy
Even a person prejudiced in favor OF
coffee would admit that Postum proper
Nv brewed is rs pleasant to the palate
as the best coffee. I know that some
people have been dissatisfied with Pos
turn because they did not make it pro
perIy.
Another advantage of Postum that
makes it vastly superior to cotTee Tor
family use is that it can be given freely
to children, being a real food and not q
4 stimulant like coffee. It viii not harm
the most delicate child nor create hab-
/ it which leads only too easily to indui-
gence in stimulants of a stronger ma
ture.
Il believe that if every one knew that
4 Postum is so much cheaper than COFFEE
and so much better for ones health they
would use it instead of a drink. which
being a stimulant entirely without food
value, is so very harmful Name given
by Postum Co.. Battle Creek. Mich

COAL STILL VERY SCARCE
And the Members of Congress Want
to Know Why It Is So.

Washington, Jan. e.-President Roose-
Welt may be summoned to appear before
the senate committee on District of Co
lumbia to give some information rela-
tive to the coal situation in Washington.
The reason for calling on the chief ex-
ecutive is that it is claimed that he is
in possession of facts which viii show
that there is a combination of coal deal
ers in Washington which establishes
prices
OF course there is no authority to call
on the president or to issue any legal
summons OF subpoena for him. and
should he appear it would be a volun-
tary matter on his part.
Senator Stewart of Nevada is the au-
thor of the resolution to investigate the
coal question It is known that the
White House people experienced general
difficulty in getting a coal supply, and
have been receiving a few tons at a
time.

fault will be not with the rooms but
with the room.
Councilman Frank Blanch did some
fast work on the building yesterday. He
put dozen of his best carpenters at
work about O'Clock in the morning,
and by night, the whole building had
been ceiled. the partitions put in, the
doors hung, and the building was ready
for occupancy.
Several new stoves have been put up,
and Mr. and Mrs. Wade are now busy
sorting out the furniture from the old
pest house and furnishing the rooms
As the reporter was leaving the
building yesterday, he met a sanitary
officer bringing out a load of provisions.
There was liberal assortment of &C.
reals, meats, canned vegeta bles, canned
fruits and staples, and the reporter is
of the opinion that unless it rains too
hard and river sets up in business
alongside the pest house, with the evil
dent intent of washing out its under
pinning, the man with smallpox can be
reasonably happy in the accommoda-
tons provided by Topeka for the in
digent municipality of Atchison and 9TH
er infected towns
A new case of smallpox was reported
this morning in the family of James H
Kincald, 1862 North Van Buren, street.
The house has been uuarantined and
guarded.
A case of chickenpox is also reported
in the family of w. S. Shaw, 1876 Ennis
street. This case was quarantined but
not guarded.

EDITOR GOES WILD.
Suggests Another Civil War on the
Negro Question.

New Orleans, Jan. 9.-The New Orleans
States is bitter in an editorial criticism
of the president. anent the Indianola
affair.
President Roosevelt, in closing the
postofflce at Indianola has suspended
the law for the deliberate purpose Of
offending and insulting the white people
of the south, and incidentally to pander
to the negro vote of the north pivotal
states" 1t SAYS
He has assumed the role of a car for
the sole purpose of clinching the presi-
dental nomination in 1904 and it is well
the south should proclaim its knowledge
Of his motive and also to impress upon
the mind of the country the fact that
President Roosevelt has made up his
mind to outrage and insult people of the
south by appointing and keeping i'll
office obnoxious negroes; his negro ap-
pointees will be killed, just as the negro
appointees of other Republican presi-
dents have been put out of the way.
1T may be also that if Mr.. ROose-
Velt's negro appointees are killed or run
out of the country, he will drag down
the south with federal troops. In such
an event we are confident the fact will
be quickly established that our people
are fully as strenuous as their 'Knicker-
booker president. If he desires. in or
der to serve his own political ends, to
raise rough house in the country. he
can rest assured that the game viii be
made entirely interesting for him"

LAUNDRY MEN UNITE.
Dear Coal One Plea for Raising the
Tariff on Shirts

Boston. Jan. 9.-The laundry combina-
ton came to the front with a new price
list. which went into effect yesterday
and hereafter the wearers of clean linen
will be obliged to pay an increased
price.
This is the result of action taken at
a meeting of the representatives of
leading laundries of Boston and vicinity
about January I.
The agreement was signed by repre-
sentatives of % concerns which oracti-
cally control the laundry trade of
Greater Boston.
The different agents Of these concerns
have varied opinions as to the advisa-
bility of the movement. and some ex-
press themselves strongly against the
increased prices.
The laundry managers claim that the
increase was made necessary owing to
the increased price of coal. also the
high prices of starch and other material
used.
They also say that the work on some
style collars under old prices was done
al a loss
The laundries in the combination have
been charging one and one-half to two
cents each for collars and cuffs and 10
cents for shirts The new price list calls
for two and one-half cents each for col
lars and cuffs, and u cents for shirts.
