HOT BEVERAGES.
What to Use in Place OF Tea and Coftee.

Many drink tea and coffee against
their better judgment because they re-
ouire hot drink at meal time.
They know that by the use of tea and
coffee they are only drugging them
selves but they struggle along and con-
tinue to use one or the other. To these
people Postum Cereal Coffee is a great
help for many people find well boiled
Postum superior in flavor to coffee to
say nothing of it's great health restor-
ing qualities.
The effect upon those who leave off
tea and coffee and take on Postum is
very marked for the old time coffee ails
such as heart trouble. kidney disease,
nervousness and other ills soon dIsap-
pear as if by magic. The Postum
makes new red blood and this IS shown
in the rosy cheeks and clear complexion
that replace the blotched sallow skin of
the coffee drinker. A young school miss
of Alva. Okla, says of Postum Il have
used it now for over a year and my
complexion and general health show the
change Before that time / drank tea
and coffee and my complexion was sal
low and muddy | also had almost con-
slant dull headaches. / realized that
must give up tea and coffee but hung
onto them because felt the need of a
hot drink at meal times.
..One day l heard 2'ostum so well
spoken of I decided to try it and [ bless
the day I did so. I dropped coffee and
took up Postum and now my dull head
aches have disappeared, my complexion
is fresh and rosy. eyes bright and mind
clear. sleep well now and owe 1t all
to using Postum in place of coffee

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WINS.
Sentence in White Plains Case Is Set
Aside by Appellate Court

Albany, N Y, Oct. 14-Especial in
terest attaches to the decision handed
down today by the court of appeals in
the case of the People VS.. oierson, de-

16-months-old adopted daughter in a
case of bronchial pneumonia which af-
terWard proved fatal. The conviction
which holds that "a person who omitS
without lawful excuse to perform a
duty by law IMPOSED upon him. to fur
nish food clothing. shelter or medical
attention to a minor is guilty" etc.
Justice Bartlett in the prevailing
opinion in the appellate district held
that the medical attention referred to
in tie statute does not mean exclusive
~ the attendance of a medical practi-
toner in the general sense of the term.
The appellate division reversed the
conviction. In its opinion written by
Judge Haight, the court of appeals
saws.
1T would seem that the legislative
intent is reasonably clear, although
possibly more precise language could
have been employed. The section of
the code under which the indictment
was found contemplates that there are
persons upon whom the law casts a
duty of caring for minors We are
aware that there are people who be-
lieve that the divine power NAV be in
voked to heal the sick and faith is all
that is required There are others who
believe that the Creator has supplied
the earth, natures storehouse. with
everything that man may want for his
support and maintenance, including the
restoration and preservation of his
health. and that he is left to work out
his own salvation under fixed natural
laws. There are still others who be-
lieve Christianity and science go hand
in hand both proving that the greater
science is but the agent of the Almighty
through which he accomDlishes results
and that both science and divine power
may be invoked together to restore dis
eased and suffering humanitys but. sit
ting as a court of law for the purpose
of constituting and determining the
meaning of statutes, we have nothing
to do with Variances in religious belief
and have no power to determine which
is correct. We place no limitation upon
the power of the mind over the body
the power OF faith to dispel disease. or
the power of the supreme being to heal
the sick. We merely declare the law as
given us by the legislature. We find no
error on the part of the trial court that

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

The great scene in Resurrection in
which Blanche Walsh will appear at
the New Crawford tomorrow night oc-
ours in the third act when Maslova and
the other convicts are held in prison
awaiting the convoy that is to take
them to Siberia. Miss Walsh has been
accused by some of her critics in por-
traying this phase of MaSlova's career
in too realistic manner. They say
she makes the audience fairly gasp at
her illustration of the depths of deprav-
ity to which woman may under Ger
tain conditions fall.
Arizona, which will appear at the
New Crawford Friday night, has had
a career of uninterrupted success in al
most every large city of the east. 1t
has played in New York at the Herald
Square theater and the Academy of
Music for over $50 consecutive nights.
and all of the critics have universally
agreed that it has achieved a distinction
of being the only American drama by
an American author which has ever
reached this remarkable record in the
atrical history.
Ezra Kendall, who is known the
world over IS very funny man, comes
as star of the first magnitude Satur-
day matinee and night to the New
Crawford. The clever humorist-com-
edian will be seen in the new three-act
comic success, The Vinegar Buyer
which was written for him by Herbert
Hall Winslcw Kendall is under the
mana cement of Liebler & CO., which is
sufficient guarantee that everything
connected with the comedians starring
venture is first class They have sur
rounded him with an excellent com
parry of actors and have given the COM
edy worthy production in the way of
scenery and effects.
The coming of "Eben Holden to the
New Crawford on Sunday night is re-
garded a treat for patrons. The stag
ing of "Eben Holden" is conceded to be
the most elaborate ever given a rural
drama, and Atkinson & Wildes have
spared no expense in giving to other
cities identically the same production
seen during the successful run in New
York.
A noteworthy evpnt in this seasons
theatricals will be the appearance of S.
Miller Kent att the New Crawford e.
the Music farce that created so much
talk during it's run of three months at
the Garrick Theater. New York Fac
ing the Music is a smart farce by JAS
Henry Darnley. Just who MIR. Darniey
is no one has deigped to explain. but
he has the knack of writing dialogue
! that is exactly suited to the demands of
farce. he invents situations and con-
trivss to make a good deal out of ma
terials that would be considered badly
worn by most dramatists.
