not rest day or night. The doctors
said that she could not live.
Then an advertisement led me to

Hearty farewells were extended
last Saturday by the Campanla's pas
sengers to their fellow traveller Johr
D'Reilly, aged ninety-fve, and hi,
wife, Mary, seventy yers old, as they
came ashore at New York. Mr.. O'Reil

When questioned at the landing
O'Reilly said:

Every housekeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in %-pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick
ing. Defiance never sticks.

COMES A TIME
When Coffee Shows What It Has Been
Doing.

"Of late years coffee has disagreed
with me-" writes matron from Rome,
N. Y; "it's lightest punishment was to
make me 'logy' and dizzy, and It
seemed to thicken up my blood.
THE heaviest was when 1t upset my
stomach completely, destroying my APP
petite and making me nervous and irri-
table, and sent me to my bed. After
one OF these attacks, in which nearly
lost my life, concluded to quit and
try Postum Food Coffee.
ut went right TO the spot! found
1t not only most palatable and re-
treshing beverage, but food as well.
"All my ailments, the 'loginess' and
dizziness, the unsatisfactory condition
OF my blood, my nervousness and irri-
liability disappeared In short order and
my sorely afflicted stomach began
quickly to recover. began to rebuild
and have steadily continued until now.
Have good appetite and am rejoic-
ing In sound health, which l owe to
the use Of Postum Food Coffee" Name

How many there are in the world
about us whose life is an utter failure
to carry out the work God designed
them to do, and for which he placed
them in this present generation.
There are those who are no more than
mere machines the shape of men and
women, and of no more benefit or SER
vice than just to fill up blank spaces,
In the great enthusiasm of what they
might do somewhere else, and in other
circumstances and surroundings, they
are continually crying, Give us a
place to stand, and we will move the
world" while they ignore the true
philosophy of a mans life and action:
Stand where you are and move the

Diarrhea, Cholera, Bowel Trouble, Etc, are
symptoms of Constipation. Constipation means
practically dead intestncs and poisoned blood.
Constipation is most dangerous during hot
weather on account Of sun strokes-heat debil-
lty-prostration, etc. If you suddenly check
dysentery-fatal blood poison may result-a
physic weakens and does not remove the cause,
makes you worse. Dysentery, Cholera, Bowel
Troubles, Etc, disappear when Constipation is
cured.
Revive and strengthen the intestines or bowels
before they decay from inactivity and contact
with rotting food. Until MULL'S GRAPE
TONIC was put on the American market there
was no cure for constipation.
We will now prove TO you that MULL'S,
GRAPE TONIC will protect you against heat
prostration and that IL cures Blood Disorders
Constipation, Stomach and Bowel Trouble. 1t
acts as food TO the blood and inteStines cleanses
and strengthens them and elects the poison and
decayed matter. MULL'S GRAPE TONIC is
nearly so per cent grape which renders it a
splendid tonic for the system during hot
weather.

LAW is RANK FAILURE
First Test of Primary Nominating
System Shows Its Inn
practlcabiIity.

Salem has had the first trial of the
new direct primary law drawn up by
Mr.. U'Ren, of Oregon City, and his
committee of law makers, says the
Capital Journal.
''That it is a rank failure is the
general opinion of those who watched
its workings. In theory it seems all
right, but in practice all wrong.
"In each of the seven wards five
officials were employed at public ex-
pense, and tickets printed at public
expense cost about 800.
Figuring the cost Of poll books
and advertising and posting notices
the primary will cost about 5000,
enough to build a good bridge.
For two years the city political
committees held the right kind of a
direct primary at no expense whatever
to the public.
"At the U'Ren primary, Democrats,
Socialists, Prohibitionists and Inde-
pendents all voted to nominate Re-
publican candidates.
"Under the former direct primary,
only Republicans voted in naming
Republican candidates. The U'Ren
primary makes nominations by the
mob possible.
Party nominations are not accom-
plished after the manner in which the
primaries were conducted at Salem,
Saturday. The system must be i'm
proved or abolished
This is not said to discredit the
nominees under the direct primary
made Saturday, who are all good men
and will stand on their merits, but to
show the uselessness and expense Of a
primary that does not accomplish
what it pretends-the making Of party
nominations"
