LAZY COFFEE.
  Another Name for the "SIoppy1 Sort.

Postum Coffee is not made like ordin- ary coffee for it takes at least 26 min utes' cooking to bring out the heavy food value of Postum. It requires some effort for those things which are really worth while-making Postum re quires a little care.
 The grocer Is in position to hear of those lazy ones who will not take the trouble to make Postum correctly. T am well acquainted indeed with PoStum." says a grocer of Camden. N. J., for I meet 1t not only at my breakfast table but am also associated with it daily in my business :"
 Coffee drinking used to affect my nerves and stomach, but since we have been using Postum in our family in place of coffee the bloated feeling aft 1T eating has disappeared and my head Is now clear and stomach and nerves alright. We all feel better in every way and find Postum just as satisfac tory to our palates
 nave met customers who complain eu mat Postum was not good. but we a, aI"ays ,tound this due to the fact that .hey tired to make 1t as they used to nake coHee. Of course we set them right oy pointing out the reasons. tell ing them they must boil Postum 15 ar zo minutes after boiling commences. then they get fine. choice and dAIicio ,e fostlfa.

The Health Hahit.

To be healthy means to be careful Of course not all people who are careful are even then blessed with health. but to be careful Is long step toward health
 Tt Is such care to be careful. It takes all of the pleasure out of things"
 Being careful is only the formation of good habits. Good sensible habits are no harder to follow than lax, sloppy hab- it's If a man or a woman takes himself in hand and voluntarily consistently fol- lows one course of action until it becomes a habit, he will have trouble in continuing that action It is not easy to dodge hah- 1t, whether the habit be good bad.
 Health is habit, or the result of hab- It's It Is never too late to form habita. We are never too old to form them. To- day we begin take care of ourselves. in three months we are taking care of our selves without thought. We have form ed the health habit. It Is a good one and 1t does not lessen the pleasures of life, it adds to them.

No Raids Laat Night.

Contrary to expectations. the police did not conduct any raids last night on either immoral houses or gambling joints. It is an open secret that such was the intention of the police. and such information reached the ears of the yio- lators of the law. Of course, this spoil ed the real effect of a probable raid, and the bluecoats put aside their pro. posed work until another more oppor tune time.

Stoua Cocaine Sales.

The City Couucil struck a popular chord last night when the ordinance was introduced fixing a heavy penalty on all druggists who sell cocaine or any salts of a poisonous nature to per- sons not holding certificates from le- galized physician. This ordinance re- ceived consideration in the sessions of the Finance Committee, and the chair man of that body introduced the same. The sale of this poisonous and injuri- ous drug has become very extensive in this city of late, and not a day passes but some unfortunate is not plunged into trouble from the use of the drug. It appears that there will be no opposition to the measure.

Had Foot Amputated.

Miss Alice Stearns of this city yes- terday suffered the ordeal of having her foot amputated near the knee. the operation having been successfully &C., complished by three local physicians, and at a time when 1t was seen the member could not be saved. The op- eration took palce at her home on West Garden Street.
 About a month ago Miss Stearns was attending the camp meeting in Mis- sissippi on the seashore. Taking a bath one night, she started to walk down a dimly lighted stairway. Either her foot slipped or there was some de- feet with the stairway, for she plunged headlong down the dizzy flight and when found by friends she was calmly nursing the foot on a leg which had been badly fractured. She was hurried to the hospital and later carried to New Orleans, where she was kept long enough for the wound to heal as to permit of her travelling. Then she was brought here.
 The best treatment was given, but there was no skill which could save the foot and this was taken off yes- terday. Miss Stearns. who is highly popular in this city, has the universal sympathy of her many friends.

JOURNALIST BURIED
FUNERAL OF JOHN O'CONOR, A
 NEWSPAPER MAN.
Was For Twenty Years am Editorial and News Writer For Pensa- cola rapers--was Ex-
 tremely Popular.

Pensacola, Fla. Sept. 22.-tspecial.) John OConor, one Of the br1gntes' newspaper men in the State at one time, but for the past eight years be- ing sufferer from paralysis, died last afternoon at his home on West Intendencia Street in the presence of his family and friends, who had been expecting his demise for some time. The funeral occurred this afternoon and men now and in the past identified with the fraternity acted as pallbear- CTS.
 MT. oConor was 46 years of age and is survived by a sister, wife and two sons. When he first entered the Pensacola newspaper field 1t was on the editorial stan of The News, almost twenty years ago. As a paragrapher, he was in a class to himself, and the pungent sayings which fell from his pen from time to time were not only widely read and copied. but were filled with much sense. and when sar- casm was needed, he was just the pcn- ell operator who could satisfy the claials of any one in that direction. His brilliant local stories on a later assignment were filled with an origi- nality that was nothing If not attrac tive, and were always readable.
 The death of this newspaper man is deplored much in this city. In life he was known to about every person in this city. and all who had even e chance acquaintance with him held nothing but the highest esteem for the gentleman.
 At the funeral service this afternoon the usefulness of the deceased in the newspaper field was referred to with great eloquence by Father Fullerton, rector of St. Michaeps Church, who, on account of his own intimacy with MT. O'Conor was in position to be more than usually eloquent. The interment was made at St. Michael's Cemetery, and to that pretty burial ground hum dreds of friends followed the remains.

Talking of City Politics.

In spite of the fact that the city | campaign in reality will not be com- menced for several months, there IS just now heard considerable talk of
 the next set of city oficiais. and this
 has assumed the proportion of fact. The present Mayor. Hon. T. E. weiles, has publicly announced at different times
 that he would not stand for re-elec- | tfon, and this declaration, made to his friends and In public, has stirred a
 political bee to do some buzxing in the bonnet of at least three of the Alder men, and possibly two private citizens, for the mayoralty. Various names are heard in connection with the ofiice, but there are really but three logical and openly declared candidates. One Of these will be put up by the Republi- cans, 1t is stated, and all the factions of that party are said to be in favor of agreeing upon that certain candidate.
 Numerous candidates for the marshall ship are out working very hard. These consist of several gentlemen who have held the position In time past, the present incumbent and several others who think they have the ability to rightfully perform theearduous duties. The Republicans will have a candidate in the field, according to present indica- tions. and will make a great fight to get control of the ofYice.
 While other offices will be filled next June. eight months off, there is nothing heard about the candidates, and 1t will all probably terminate in the holding of a white primary, for such a thing is now being discussed in several quar- ters.
