PRESENTED

A jury in Judge Tanners court today
heard some very contradictory testimony
in the suit brought by Clarence L. San
ford against Daniel A. Winsor to recover
5000 for alleged assault and battery. Mr..
Sanford claims that he went out 20 Gran
ston where Windsor was doing the car
penter work on a house for San1ford's
sister, a Mrs. Turner. on Dec. Is. 1894.
According TO the testimony Of Mr.. San
ford, Winsor pushed him against the rail-
Ing 81 "A piazza and the result was a rup-
ture or the lnteStines. The doctor who at
tended Sanford believed the rupture was
due to his being pushed against the rail-
ing.
ON cross examination. the doctor said
that 80 OF such operations for rupture as
Mr.. Sanford might have 10 undergo were
successful. IL was considered a trivial
operation. Asked as To the cost OF such
an operation the witness replied that ac-
cording 10 the fee table OF the Rhode ISL
and Medical society. the fee of the sur
geon might be from 800 10 $500. The prob
able cost with hospital treatment would be
$3.50.
In redirect the doctor said that there
were a number OF dangers incidental TO
an operation the CHIEF OF which were dan
ger due 10 anesthetics. shocks and compli-
cations. Mr.. Sanford had experienced ac-
cording TO witness many inconvenience
from the assault.
Defendant claimed he used no more
force than was necessary I'm putting San
ford out or a place where he had no
right to be. The specifications for the
house Winson was working on when the

THE "coFFEe HEART"
Il is as Dangerous as the Tobacco or

"Coffee heart" is common to many
coffee users and is liable to send the
owner to his or her long home if the
drug is persisted in. You can run thir-
ty or forty yards and find out if your
heart is troubled A lady who was
once a victim of the "coffee heart"
writes from Oregon:
IL have been a habitual user Of cof-
fee all my life and have suffered very
much in recent years from ailments
which became satisfied were directly
due to the poison in the beverage, such
as torpid liver and indigestion, which
in turn made my complexion blotchy
and muddy.
"Then my heart became affected. It
would beat most rapidly just after /
drank my coffee, and go below normal
as the coffee effect wore off. Some
times my pulse would so as high as
1877 beats to the minute. My family
were greatly alarmed at my condition,
and at last mother persuaded me to
begin the use of Postum Food Coffee.
II gave up the old coffee entirely and
absolutely, and made Postum my sole
table beverage. This was six months
ago, and all my ills, the indigestion,
inactive liver and rlckety heart action
have passed away, and my complexion
has become clear and natural. The
improvement set in very soon after I
made the change just as soon as the
coffee poison had time to work out Of
my system.
'AIy husband has also been greatly
benefited by the use of Postum, and
we find that a simple breakfast with
Postum is as satisfying and more
strengthening than the old heavier
meal we used to have with the other
kind of coffee" Name given by Pos

more practical interest than Sir G.
Scott Moncrieffs on Irrigation" Only
the man who has seen what has been
done in Italy, In India, in Egypt and
In California can appreciate the veri-
table romance of agriculture which
the engineer has brought about. In
India the irrigation canal has turned
millions Of acres to fertility and saw
ed tens of thousands of lives which
must have Buccumbed to famine. In
the Western States of America vast
deserts have been converted into or
chards, and the land which would ot1'
erWise be dear at five dollars an acre
has become worth fifty Much Of the
British triumph In Egypt is summed
up in the word irrigation. English
englneers-Sir c. Scott MoncrieR
among them-came from India after
the British occupation and have ever
since been engaged in some of the
greatest irrigation works in the world

veloped beyond the dreams Of the

overcoats for Sac Troops.

Within a short time every soldier
In the state militia service will have
been equipped with brand new over
coat Of the olive drab shade and the
latest army pattern. The distribution
of overcoats is the thing that is just
now occupying the attention of the
adjutant generals office.
1t takes 1900 overcoats to equip all
of the Georgia troops, and these have
been procured from the United States
government at a total cost approx
mating $4,000. The price of these
oyercoats, which are supplied to the
state troops at cost, varies somewhat,
but just now it is $6.44 each.
The distribution Of overcoats to the
state troops this year will about con-
sumo the entire appropriation made
by the United States government to
the Georgia militia. Georgia gets from
this fund approximately $4,000 year.
1t is never paid in cash, but always
in equipment or expenses of men in
Next year the work of supplying
practically all Of the state troops
with new uniforms will be undertaken
This expense will perhaps be slightly
heavier than that of furnishing them
with overcoats. But next year the
state will have a total of $4,000 to
expend in equipment.
