FAILING EYESiGHT
Caused by Improper Food

Writers who live sedentary lives and
who use coffee are apt TO be troubled
by faulty vision, which they usually at
tribute to overwork. That they are
sometimes mistaken is proved by the
following statement from an old news
paper man:
For nearly 40 years l have earned
my living with the pen. A few years
ago / began to suffer from occasional
blind spells Ny vision frequently be-
came obscured by what may be called
Kaleidoscope blurs. in which constantly
changing figures, like wheels, stars,
etc, fioated before my eyes. making
it impossible for me to work while they
lasted. They were usually followed by
dull. heavy headaches.
My physicians. two of them, ad-
vised me that my eyes had become
weakened by overwork- / consulted an
oculist, but he could not discover the
cause OF the trouble. / bought stronger
glasses. but they did not help me.
Last summer, while living tempo
rarily in boarding house, found the
very weak coffee thing to complain
OF. tin suddenly 1 discovered that my
blind spells were becoming less fire.
quent l then satisfied myself by ex-
periments that IL was coffee that was
deranging my optic nerves
"A friend advised me to try Postum
coffee. and, although / had no faith in
IL, 1 began to use IT. In three days
time the blind spells completely
ceased. Going back to the old coffee
the blind spells returned. / am entire
ly satisfied that coffee was the cause of
the ailment. and that Postum was it's
cure" Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich
There's a reason Coffee is narcotic
that breaks down the cells in the nerve
centers, and unless nature succeeds in
repairing the damage each day, disease
and distress follows in some one or
more organs 1t may be eyes in one.
stomach and bowels in another, heart
or kidneys in another and yet each
affected from the same cause-coffee.
The sure way to certainly know is to
quit coffee 10 days ard use Postum.

is ONLY FORMALI1Y
Inquest Over Murdered Man a
PerfunCtory Affair

This morning there will be an inquest
over the remains OF Emil Roggatz the
coachman employed by DR.. Philip Mueller.
who was shot on Tuesday night of last
week and who died at the Swedish hos
pital Thursday afternoon. The inquest,
according TO Coroner Kistler will be a
perfunctory affair and will be confined to
a statement from the surgeons who per-
formed the autopsy.
The coroner says this action is taken
because the county attorneys Office does
not care to show its hand at the present
time and prefers to continue the inquest
as to the incidents connected with the
shooting in a less public manner.
Although according to the alleged ante
mortem statement of Roggatz he said he
did not know the man who attacked and
shot him when he accompanied his en-
ployer to the door of the house and was
met by three men there is a story to the
effect that he made another statement
which will have an important bearing
upon the case should the authorities con-
clude to press matters further.
This story is said to be at variance with
the one which has been published as the
antemortem statement of the dead man.

stand by his payment.
A bill is pending in the legislature to
permit the payment of taxes under pro-
test and to permit the taxpayer to recover
the excess should the assessment be held
illegal. but the law will not be retroactive
and those persons who pay their personal
taxes viii not be permitted TO recover.
