COFFEE PARALYSIS
A Well Defined Case.

Coffee paralysis is not common, but there
are more cases than folks imagine and
there are cases where the nervous victim
keeps on with the coffee until the troE-
BILE is chronic and incurable.
On the other hand there are many cases
where leaving off the coffee and drinking
Postum Food Coffee in its place has re
suited i'll complete and speedy cures as
in the following:
For several years L was in an alarming
condition and had consulted every ply
stefan In our town besides three visiting
SPECIALISTS. My trouble baffied them ali,
but their different verdicts frightened me
and the treatment proposed was long, te-
dious and very expensive. Ny husband
had already spent a small fortune trying
to help me and the last effort was $50
experiment which did no good.
MY trouble was a numbness or half
parayzed sensation that would creep
over me especially bad at night COM
mencing in my arms, shoulders and down
to my left side and was followed by terri
Bile pains and a prickly sensation that is
beyond description. Ny hands would puff
UP and feel like great humps. so thick
and heavy and unnatural. l could do abb
solutely no work of any kind.
1t was then that my mother persuaded
me that my condition was largely due to
the use of coffee of which l was a great
lover. She knew what leaving off coffee
and using Postum had done in her own
case and she finally persuaded me to make
the same shift, which 1 did without much
1aith To my everlasting surprise the
change was wonderful for all my old
complaints soon lpSsaned and are now
completely gone. The terrible feelings and
sensations that I cannot describe have
stopped completely and 1 feel as if new
rich, red blood was flowing through my
VEINS bringing me health and happiness.
All of this | know is due to my hav-
ing stopped coffee and used Postum:

RESIDENT AGEaT'sLAW.
Insurance Commissioner Young on the New
Law.

Insurance Commissioner James r.
Young, in an address before the Conven
tion of Insurance Agents held recently in
this city, had the following to say of the
Resident Agents Law, passed by the
last Legislature:
This law was passed by the last Legs
lature on my recommendation. There are
two reasons that induced me TO ask for
this law. First, the agents Of the State,
or very large majority of them, asked
for it. 1 have their letters now on file.
Ii meant much to the resident agents Of
the State, as the amount that was an
nually being paid by them to non resident
agents and brokers was between $50 600
and 600 1t was this much loss to the
agents of the State-to some more. 20
some less. The agents were restless I'M
der this drain upon them, especially as
the brokerage demanded and received OF
them by the same broker was commIs-
sions ranging from 1-2 to II IL per
cent. 1t all depended upon how much the
agents i'll the different cities and towns
could be held up for, and this was
measured by the intensity of their COM
petition and the lack of their confidence
in each other.
This law is upon our statute books
ard must be enforced. 1t has and Will
receive from me the same attention and
support that l give to the other insur,
arce laws. l shall demand that it be
complied with. If it is a good law, this
course will prove it. If it 4 bad law
It's enforcement will determine the fact
and the law can be repealed.
much has been said against it an3
of late some companies and special agents
have undertaken q crusade against it and
endeavored to arouse in the minds OF the
agents in North Carolina an antagonisIn
and prejudice against 1t. This should
not be and i am inclined at times TO
resent their interference. There is no
reason for it ecept their desire TO cater
to outside brokers. This law is in force
in Arkansas, Tennessee, Texas, LOUIS
lana and other States and has and Is
working we'll there. / talked with Their
Commissioners at the recent convention
in Baltimore. So far it has worked we'll
here in saving many dollars of commits
sions to our resident agents and in full
filing the second reason for its enact
ment that is to help the department in
its fight against unauthorized insurance
companies that are operating largely
through nonresident brokers. This law
has and Is helping the department IN
this way. 1t is now getting to be pretty
well understood that no insurance 5got
ten through nonresident agent or bro
ker is legal or collectible"

COT TON DROPPED
BELOW TEN CENTS
The Prospects Are For Lower
Prices To-Day.
535 BALES YESTERDAY
The Farmers Are Advised 10 Hold For Rise
in The Market That Has Been Lowered
by Reports Of Big
Crops.

The spot cotton market took slump
yesterday.
1t had gone to ten and sixteenth the
day before, but the market on Tuesday
had closed weak at ten cents.
The market on Tuesday in Raleigh
Showed the greatest receipts of any day
for the past five years, over 600 bales hav-
ing been sold here, the ten cent and over
price bringing this in.
Well informed cotton men predicted a
slump in the price yesterday and it came
This decrease is said to have been caused
by Buston's estimate, which put the crop
at eleven and quarter million bales.
Added to this was the fact that the To-
cal mills, which are buying sparingly, had
loaded up with the offerings of the pre-
vious day. Spot cotton went down in New
York and Liverpool, and Raleigh also
tumbled
The market here opened at ten cents,
but soon went to nine and seven eighths
and then to nine and three quarters. When
it closed last evening it was at nine and
three quarters, but very weak at that fig
ure.
The ten cents and over price of Tuesday
brought again a big lot of cotton to this
market, and sos bales were the offerings.
Some of this sold at ten cents pound, but
a large portion of it brought lesser figures.
The indications are that the market to-
day will drop below nine and three quar-
ter cents. A we'll informed cotton man
says that he feels sure that this will be so.
In this view of the case it will be wise
for farmers to hold their cotton.
1t has been determined by many farmers
not to sell at less than ten cents, and if
this determination is adhered tc the figure
can be obtained. If farmers insist on
rushing in great loads Of cotton on a sink
ing market they can not hope 10 obtain
the minimum figure that is considered
far price for cotton.
The best informed men about the price
of cotton hold that the crop is short. and
that this must soon be realized When
this happens then price is certain to go
up, and the farmers who hold will get the
best oil the selling.
Let the farmers watch the market, and
when they see the price going down, hold
till the market goes up to ten cents.

ii will be remembered what the principal
characters are taken by two very fat fell
lows who play the parts of Philip and
Peter Johns, who are cousins and are con-
tinually causing side-splitting situations by
being mistaken for one another. Aside
from this there is the funny Dutchman,
