About What Her Husband Would Say.

A Mich. woman tried Postum Food
agreed with her and her husband. She
writes:
MY husband was sick for three
years with caLarrh of the bladder, and
palpitation of the heart, caused by
coffee Was unable to work at all
and in bed part of the time.
Il had stomach trouble, was weak
and fretful so l could not attend to
my housework-both of US using cof-
fee all the time, and realizing it was
harmful.
"One morning the grocer's wife
said she believed coffee was the cause
of our trouble and advised Postum.
] took 1t home rather dubious about
what my husband would say-he was
fond of coffee.
But l took coffee right OF the
table, and we haven't used cup of
it since You should have seen the
change in us, and now my husband
never complains Of heart palpitation
any more. My stomach trouble went
away in two weeks after 1 began Pos.
tum. My children love it and it does
them good, which can't be said Of
coffee.
"a lady visited us who was always
half sick. / told her I'd make her a
cup of Postum. She said it was taste
less stuff, but she watched me make
it, boiling it thoroughly for Is min
utes, and when done she said it was
splendid. Long boiling brings out the
flavor and food quality" Name given

DREADED HIS GOOD TIME.
But He Had to Take the Seven-MiIe
Ride to Get Drunk.

A certain member of congress one
day last winter was deploring the fact
that he must that night attend a pub
lie dinner, when the probability was he
would have too good a time"
My predicament," said the con-
gresham, reminds me of the sad
case of an old constituent near Kan
sas City whose weakness was drink.
The place where he lived voted no IL
cense, so in order to obtain intoXicants
1t was necessary to take a trolley car
to Kansas City, seven miles away.
"One night | CHANGED TO meet my
bibulous friend waiting for the Kansas
City car. To my inquiry as to where
he was going he replied:
up to X. c. to get drunk Then
solemnly he added But great Scott,
Judge, how | dread it,"

Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.


DR.. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that a pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream Of tartar powders.
He says that If the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity OF
baking powder for batch of bread or
cakes for an ordinary family, be con-
centrated to one mouthful Of food,
and taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
1t could do no harm. On the contrary,
alum is wholesome in proper quanti-
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome Of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.

Many of the fine ancestral country

held by the tenure of presenting to the
sovereign, whenever he visits the
New Forest. a brace of milk-white
greyhounds.
Sometimes it is the tenants on an
estate whose leases are granted on
some similar tenure. The tenants at
Hampton Bishop, in the county OF
Hereford. for instance, are obliged
by their leases to get yearly six horse
loads of rods or wattles from Hay
Wood to make hurdles for penning
sheep at the Hereford Fair, whenever
they may be required to do so. For
each load halfpenny was to be paid.
But it is long time since the Hamp-
ton Bishop tenants were requested to
fulfill their contract, and probably few
of them are even aware of this Pc
culiarity in their leases.
Similar oddities prevail in some &C.
clesiastical leases. The vicar Of Coles

ton in the system Of nominating
officers. Heretofore, the people
were called upon to attend sew
eral caucdses. for the election Of
delegates to the county conyen-
ton. This year they must
register their choice in regular
primary, conducted the same as
a regular election. So far as the
county politics are concerned,
the greatest contest will be for
the Office Of sheriff. Several
candidates have announced their
intention of becoming candidates
subject to the will of the people
at the primary. The candidates
are as follows: A. B. Severson,

not have remained in operation
more than month or six weeks

 The meeting was about to adjourn when F. M Jones of beat offered the following resolution endorsing the candidacy of Judge John R. Tyson:
 Whereas. Judge John R. Tyson. an honored and esteemed citizen of this county Is citizen of such merit. and a jurist of such learning, long ser vice and attachments as to entitle him Justice of the Supreme Court of the StAte. therefore be it.:
 Resolved. that this committee com mends his candidacy to the Democrats of the State and urge the voters of this county to compliment him with a full and unanimous vote in the pri- mary on the 27th."
 Speaking briefly on the resolution, H. A Belser said he was glad the resolution had been offered. He didn't think there was a man In Alabama who could fill the place of Chief Jus- tice of the Supreme Court more worth fly than Judge Tyson.
 On motion of Bibb Graves, the Ty- son resolution was adopted by ris- ing vote of the committee.
 MT. Belser then moved that Horace Hood, candidate for state auditor, be commented to the voters of Montgon1- cry county in the same terms In which Judge Tyson had been commended. The motion was adopted and the meet ing adjourned at 1:20 o'clock.
