Justice Shiras is Seventy.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 27- -Asso-
ciate Justice George Shiras, Jr of
the United States Supreme court, to-
day reached the age of seventy, which
entities him to retire with full pay
Rumors have been current for some
time to the effect that Justice Shiras
ir-rrrurf- ,iuu vunInuu report assrguvu
Governor Taft of the Philippine Is
lands as his successor. Governor TAFT
howevre. has recently declared de.
sire to remain in his present position
for the time being, so that the stories
concerning the retirement of Justice
Shiras and the appointment of his sue
cessor have little foundation in fact
so far as is known.
1t has been the practice of associate
justices to continue in service after
reaching the seventy year limit un-
less incapacitated by i'll health. But
if the democrats should carry the pres
idential election next year it is almost
certainty that Justice Shiras and
Harlan would retire, so that their sue
cessors could be appoin5ed by Presi'
dent Roosevelt before his term expired

coFFEE'S PLACE. A Tennessee Physicians Experience.

The man of medicine can tell many ln- teresting tales when he has a mind to, but the most interesting of all is when he tells of the benefits to be had from pure, scientific food and drink (such as Postum Food Coffee) used in place of ordinary coffee.
 In an explicit letter from physician of Henderson's Cross Roads. Tenn, he says 'I drank coffee until l was physical wreck suffering with constant and severe headaches, heartburn and ex- treme nervousness. Finally l became a confirmed dyspeptic and consequently weak and irritable, although am by na- ture very strong and cheerful l lost about 20 pounds.

FEMININE HONESTY.

A days news that reveals the head nurse of a woman's hospital in the role of safe rObber and shows a college girl raising cne-dollar bills to tens and passing them, cases following closely upon the recent embezzlement of $37,- 900 by a woman occupying a position of trust in a local manufacturing com pany, may inspire some doubts as tC the stability of feminine honesty.
 Is the enlargement of woman's sphere loosening her firm hold on the principles of rectitude? Is the en- trance of the sex into commercial cc- equations lowering her standards? Are business associ ltions breaking down her moral safeguards?
 The few cases in point that may be noted will not establish the conten- ton of the doubters. Yet the occa- slonal shortage in the accounts of girl cashiers and the rare instance of ap- propriation of an employers funds by woman employe excite an attention all the more general because Of their infrequency. They receive a scrutiny undeserved in view of their relative low ratio to the great number of wo- men now in commercial life.
 One development of the business wo- man that may be considered in connec- ticn with her high average of trust worthiness is her ability to keep busi- ness secrets. It is the testimony of her employers that important matters con hded to her are less apt to leak out than when the cOnfidant is a man. Her reticence stands forth by contrast with masculine loquacity.
