USED MOST DEADLY POISON

Chicago, Feb. 10.-Curare, the most
subtle and deadly poison known to
modern science, is believed by Doctor
Joseph Springer, formerly Coroner's
physician, to have caused the death of
Johann Hoch's wives.
Doctor Springer is convinced the fatal
drug was probably administered by
means of engagement or wedding rings.
by turning the inner edge of the
ring" said DIR. Springer, to-day, "or
making it rough or sharp in any man
ner, applying the curare on the rough
edge and then slipping the ring on the
finger so as to cause the slightest abras-
ion of the skin, death would follow"

'The fearful work coffee has done
for me is difficult to describe.
L had no idea how weakened one
can become from the breaking down
effect of Coffee on the nerves.
when that has gone on long
enough, most anything may set in. I
had three attacks of pneumonia and
became a chronic invalid. [ had no
idea that coffee had put me in my de-
plOrable condition. Well I finally went
to Colorado on advice, and found a
nice place to board with a family The

he had gone for heart trouble but the
doctor out there discovered his weak
heart was caused by coffee, took it
away and gave him Postum His
trouble was quickly dismissed and he
came home a we'll man. He suggested
that probably it was Coffee affected

it. He preferred to carry a small bot

coffee would take a dose of pepsin to
overcome the sour stomach produced
by the coffee. He held out for q. wear.

GAS HEARING BEGINS.
Question of Ousting the Kansas
Natural Gas Company.

At 2 o'clock this afternoon, the
arguments in the supreme court on the
case of the State of Kansas versus the
Kansas Natural Gas company COM
menced.
The gas company is represented by
Eugene AIackay of Pittsburg, Pa,
John J. Jones and c. E. Benton.
Attorney General Coleman was not
present. Judge Frank Doster ap-
peared for the state. In this case, it
is the Kansas Gas Protective associa-
ton which is really the plaintiff, IN
der the name of the state.
The object of the Gas Protective as
ISOLATION is to drive the Kansas Nat
ural Gas company out of the state on
the ground that it has no charter to
do business in the state. The state
charter board refused to issue a char
ter to the company.
There were no motions or other
proceedings to delay the opening of
the argument this afternoon. This
case was put at the heel of the
docket and when it is ended, the
court will be through with its hearings
for May.
A new attorney has appeared in the
case on behalf of the Natural Gas
company. Eugene F. Ware, ex-pen-
sion commissioner, has filed a brief.
He appears for the firm of Gleed,
Ware & GIeed.
