HOT BEVERAGES.
What to Use in Place Of Tea and Coffee.

Many drink tea and coffee against
their better judgment because they
require a hot drink at meal time.
They know that by tre use OF tea
and coffee they are only drugging
themselves. but they struggle along
and continue to use one or the other.
To these people Postum Cereal Coffee
is q great help, for many people find
we'll boiled Postum superior in flavor
TO coffee. to say nothing of its great
Notwithstanding 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 dis
ease. nervousness and other ills soon
disappear as II by magic. The Pos
tum 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: II have used 1t now
for over a year and my complexion
and general health show the change.
Before that time | drank tea and cof-
fee and my complexion was sallow
and muddy. l also had almost con-
slant dull headaches. l realized that
| must give up tea and coffee, but
hung onto them because l felt the
need OF a hot drink at meal times.
zone day | heard Postum so we'll
spoken of I decided to try 1t. and I
bless the day l did so. l dropped
coffee and took up Postum. and now
my dull headaches have disappeared.
my complexion is fresh and rosy. eyes

now and I owe 1t all to using Postum
in place of coffee.

The coming fight between labor and
capital will be between the trade unions
OF the country and the association of
business Interests who will attempt to
overthrow the trade organizations.
The trade organizations of Chicago are
taking steps to form extensive alliances
among the different crafts over the
country, while D. NJ. Parry, president
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers, has been working up a senti-
ment hostile to unions. At meeting
Of manufacturers in New York city the
other night Mr.. Parry said ''Organ-
lied labor is laying claims to rights
OF sovereignty that have not often been
exercised by the most despotic govern
ments. Its entire warfare was being
conducted for the purpose of compelling
the country to acknowledge that it
possesses the right to say o. that no
man shall work without it's consent,
and ~ no industry shall be operated
Without its consent.'' Organized labor
is no more despotic nor any more grasp
ing than is organized capital which in
SO many lines of business has been and
IS debating to consumers. with all the
power OF an autocrat or SOVEREIGN. If
organized labor is laying claims to
rights of sovereignty that have not
often been exercised by the most des-
potlc Of governments it has had an ex-
ample set it by com binations of capital.
Both Interests are wrong in sense and
are going at the thing to seek the rem
edy in the wrong way Capital cannot
tear down labor organizations nor vice
versa. There may be some very costly
wrecks in the attempt, but it will prove
a failure. Labor and capital have cot
to recognize one another's interests in
friendly and equitable manner and
the sooner the better.

CROP conditions are spotted, and any
kind of accurate estimates as to yield,
etc., are at this time impossible. One
thing is certain, however, so far as
Princeton and vicinity is concerned.
and that is at the present time general
crop conditions will not average over
siSty-fve per cent. The trouble has
been too much rain and then the spring
was very cool, and where land was not
in the best condition seed was slow in
terminating. Farmers who used q
liberal allowance of manure this season
are going to reap the benefits, as crops
are looking fine and are we'll advanced
where land was we'll MANFRED. Small
grain is not as promising as might be
wished, and the wet weather and
chinch bugs have left a lot of the
grain in very bad shape. Corn is look
ing good in some places only, and at
the present time crop conditions can
not be placed at anything better than
sixty per cent. Should the present
month prove hot and frosts do not ap-
pear, the crop will do much better than
this. Potatoes have up to the present
time done very we'll on soil that has
not been flooded, but in the low places
the potatoes will hardly be worth the
digging. Should the weather continue
wet the potatoes generally will suffer
very much and not over fifty per cent
of crop will be dug. But late crops
have yet considerable time in which to
improve, providing that weather con-
ditions get better. There will be big
loss in the hay crop as all the bottom
lands are under water so that it is i'm
possible to cut the hay and cure it.
The crops in the timber land are all
looking very poorly, but there are days
of grace left for the farmer and let us
hope for the best. !

''FADS' in the public schools and COL
leges was given a good hot criticism
last week in the Northwestern Miller
by Editor Edgar who says: 1.-THE 'edu-
Gators of to-day who have degenerated
into faddists and have scorned the SIM
pie, homely, necessary branches of an
English education, the primary and es-
sential things requisite for every Amer
lean citizen: have essayed to create a
race of artists who shall be able to
make a picture without first having
learned to mix their paints, and the re-
suit is failure" Mr.. Edgar hit the nail
right on the head, and he is not alone
in his just criticisms of the faddine
process in our educational system of
the present time. Courses of study
have too much science and not enough
Of sense. 1t is well-known fact that
even in our high schools of the present
day scholars get their sheepskins for
having become proficient in STUDIOS
that for all practical purposes are not
worthy Of any consideration at all. The
young men and women who climb the
ladder of success don't do so with the
aid Of the higher studies and the rap
idly growing fads, but they climb the
ladder with the aid of the plain old
standbys, the elementary studies that
are useful at all times. Seven out OF
twelve graduates of high schools are
not able to correctly word and write a
business letter, nor do they know as
much about practical affairs of business
as a kid that has been in the business
service for few months. We want
our children educated in the higher
branches but not at such a sacrifice OF
things practical.
