The published statements Of a humber
Of coffee importers and roasters lnoicate
a"waspy' feeling towards u.s. for daring
70 sav that coffee is harmful to a per-
centage of the people.
A frank public discussion OF the SUD-
iect is quite agreeable to us and can
certainly do no harm; on the contrary
when all the facts on both sides OF any
question are spread before the people
they can thereupon decide and act in
diligently.
Give the people plain facts and they
will take care OF themselves.
We demand facts in this coffee dis
c~nssion and propose to see that the
facts are brought clearly before the
people. .
A number of coffee importers and
roasters have joined a movement TO
boom coffee and stop the use OF Postum
Food Coffee and in their newspaper
statements undertake to deceive by
false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harmful.
We assert that one in every three
coffee users has some form OF inclplent
or chronic disease; realize for one mo-
ment what a terrible menace to a nation
of civilized people, when one kind OF
beverage cripples the energies and
health of one-third the people who use it.
We make the assertion advisedly and
sugge that the reader secure his own
proof by personal inquiry among coffee
users. =,

and ais. You will be startled at the
percentage and will very naturally
seek to place the cause of disorder on
something aside from coffee, whether
food, inherited tendencies OF some
thing else.

The man who signed himself "A. Darling"

The Time for Action has Fully Come.

intend this year to land some Prohi-
bitionists in office or "know the rea-
son why" This movement will aim
ness-like proposition to down the sa-
loon. This work will be so great and
will necessarily be carried on so much
in detail that it will require the active
aid of thousands of saloon-haters who
are not as yet "at it" and the time has
come for them to get into the harness.
The Public Veal, Too.
The Public Wears plans for work
are also laid and the time has arrived
for work if this campaign is to bear
the fruitage for which we have been
working. The new, significant,
broader and better name floats at our
masthead. It typifies humanity's best
thought for humanity. The semi
monthly is here and with it the neces-
sity for such a movement to put the
Prohibition gospel into thousands of
new homes as we have never entered
upon. The season of preparation is
past. All things are now ready for
everyone who thinks, prays and talks
against the saloon to do something
and to keep doing something-the best
thing to which he can lay his hand or
the thing best suited to his hand.
Now Or Never.
Talk at this stage of undertaking
this work Eat some other time" or
even "a little later" means defeat.
Yes, the heat of summer is here. But
it will be here until it will be too
late to do the work required. Sa-
loonkeepers and saloon politicians do
not expect to keep cool this summer.
Yes, it is busy season with many.
But our work must also go on. The
destroyers Of the bodies and souls of
our fellow-men are also busy as we'll
as those who make business of pol
itics for what there is in it. Busy
people whose hearts are thoroughly
in work will accomplish more than
half-hearted or half-awake men or
women who haven't a care in the
world.
So we lay it before our true men
and women that our work should
now go forward. The whole column
should move. And the only way in
which this can be done is for you
to move. Decide what thing or things
you will do and get at it.

The State Prohibition Fund of $4,000.
Nearly Of the Amount Already Raised. Shall Score
Complete Victory?

It was in February 1905 that the
State Executive Committee, after most
careful consideration, decided to at
tempt to raise $4,000 for the state
work during the two years beginning
Nov. 1, 1904 and ending November l.,
1906. 1t would not be strange If this
plan had seemed chimercial to many,
since the Committee had never before
raised to exceed about $4,000 year,
and that amount only once, while it's
usual annual income averaged about
$4,000.
Worked to Win.
But the matter was taken hold of
with vigor Our field force was in
creased. Oliver w. Stewart was
brought to the state and with Sec.
Calderwood conducted a phenomenal
campaign. Our men and women and
many who had never been identified
with the party liked the proposition to
undertake vastly greater things than
heretofore. AS partial result of
such hearty cooperation as this the
State Fund has now passed the $685.

under way to materially add to it.
Several able speakers, singers and
organizers are under engagement and
most of them are already in the field.
Not less than twenty-five hustling
young field men are at work in our
hopeful commonwealth and the State
Committee is seeking more of the
right kind. We have scored one i'm
portant victory in the courts, which
gives us the same standing enjoyed by
other parties in the primaries and the
same right to go on the ballot. AL
though no nomination can be made un-
til September II, the date of the prim-
airy election, a number of our candi-
dates are as good as selected. The
congressional and legislative district
organizers have at least a network of
district and precinct organizations and
are perfecting it daily.
All At It!
We are now ready for the aggres-
sive work of the campaign. It should
be so aggressive that, within 80 days
at the most, the great body of the
citizens of Minnesota will understand
that the Prohibition party has begun
the most earnest, practical and hope

How 1t Can Be Done.

The completion of the Fund by No

Many of our men have as yet made
no pledge. Some contributors have
not given cOmmensurately with the
greatness of the cause and their own
ability. Many who gave literally
have been able to pay their pledges in
full and would be willing to chip in"
again in order to make the campaign
of 1906 such an one as we all eagerly
desire it shall be. In addition to these
classes of PrOhibitionists there are
many good men in the other parties
who like our legislative proposition
men who have not yet been called
upon, who will willingly aid us if, in
our own contributions and efforts, we
measure up to our present opportun-
ity.

OPEN.AIR MEETINGS.

For the next sixty or ninety days the
open air furnishes ideal conditions for
Prohibition rallies. Nearly every village
contains a park or vacant lot where a
song will quickly draw crowd and where
a speaker can secure a most attentive
audience. In many cases band-stand
can be utilized. Within easy reach of
most communities may also be found a
grove where happy picnckers can be
gathered to listen to an attractive pro-
gram of speech and song.
These opportunities should be seized.

MANIAC SLEW HUSBAND

Whose Clothes Were - Tatters

Captured.

South Norwalk. Conn.-Crouched in
the bushes Of a swamp her hair dis
heveled and full of burrs, her dress in
tatters and her feet uncovered and
bleeding, a posse of men found Mrs
Edward Gustafson Sunday afternoon
a maniac.
Mrs. Gustafson is the young woman
who shot her husband in their home
Saturday and then chased him around
the house and upstairs, where the
pistol was taken from her after
stubborn fight. She had fired three
shots at her husband during the pur-
suit and had threatened the lives of
her two little daughters. She made
her escape to the woods, and large
posses of police and citizens secured
the country all through the night,
using lanterns and dogs in thsE hunt
for the demented woman, fearing she
would return and kill the girls.
Mrs. Gustafson has not spoken since
she was captured. She made no re-
sistance, and her mind is apparently
blank. Gustafson is dead.

A Valuable Agent.

The glycerine employed in DIR. Pierce's
medicines greatly enhances the medi-
cinal properties which it extracts and
holds IN solution much better than alco-
hol would. II also possesses medicinal
properties Of its own, being a valuable
demulcent, nutritive, antiseptic and anti
ferment. 1t adds greatly to the efficacy
Of the Black Cherrybark, Golden Seal
root, Stone root and Queens root, con-
tanned in Golden Medical Discovery in
BubduinR chronic, or lingering coughs,
bronchial, throat and lung affections,
for all Of which these agents are recon-
mended by standard medictl authorities.
In all cases where there is a wasting
away OF flesh, loss of appetite, wish
weak stomach, as IN the early stages Of
consumption. there can be no doubt that
glycerine acts as valuable nutritive and
aids the Golden Seal root, Stone root,
Queens root and Black Cherry bark in
promoting digestion and building up the
flesh and strength, controlling the cough
and bringing about healthy condition
of the whole system. OF course, IL must
not be expected to work miracles. 1t will
not cure consumption except in its earlier
stages. 1t will cure very severe, obstin-
ate, chronic coughs, bronchial and laryn-
geal troubles, ard chronic sore throat
with hoarseneSs. In acute coughs it is
not so effective. 1t is in the lingering

when accompanied by bleeding from

marvellous cures. Send for and read the

ACCOUNTS FOR
POSTAL DEFICIT
Free Matter Handled Repre-
SentS a Loss of Twenty
Millions in Revenue.
Postmaster General Is Less Concerned
About Deficit Than the Effieie'-ey
of the Postal Department-oe-
felt for the Year Is Near
Iy Fifteen Million

Washington-Postm General
Cortelyou, in his annual report for the
past fiscal year, says that, while
self-sustaining condition of the post
office department would be gratifying,
he is less concerned about the deficit
than the efficiency of administration.
For the fiscal year 1905 the total re-
ceipts from all sources were $751;
S26,5S5 and the total expenditures
1857 1893, 1863, leaving a deficit of $14,-
572,5S4. In connection with these fig
ures the postmaster general directs
attention to the increased amount OF
free matter handled, which. he says,
averaged 1888 per cent of the entire
weight carried, or loss in revenue Of
$1s,S22,OOO.
"Manifestly," he says, had the mat.
ter carried free been required to have
been prepaid, notwithstanding the
large expenditures for the rural free
delivery service there would have been
no deficit"
Answering some of the criticisms
which, he says, have been directed
against the postal service, he says that
most of it overlooks the unusual con-
ditions existing in this country, it's
great extent of territory and it's wide
ly scattered population.
Governmental control of the pneu-
- 4. ~ oil Nryac nm
