The Coffee Importers and Roasters are Attacking
POSTUM FOOD COFFEE
All Along the Line.
THERE'S A REASON"

Many people have found out the truth about old
fashioned coffee.
They have overcome disease caused by it.
The plan easy and sure.
Quit Coffee and use Postum.
Proof with ones self is stronger than any theory.
The Postum army grows by hundreds Of thousands
yearly.
The old-fashioned Coffee Magnates are now derid
ing Postum through the papers.
Because their pocketbooks hurt, they would
drive the people back to the old coffee slavery.
One coffee prevaricator says: at (Postum) has
lately been exposed and found to contain an
OF very ordinary coffee"
Another that at (Postum) is made from small
amount of parched peas, beans wheat, dried sweet
potatoes, and paste of wheat mddlings.'
Here's to you, oh faithful followers of the tribe of

process Each visitor sees Postum made of different
parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechan
ca methods and one part blended with small part
of pure New Orleans molasses. So he knows Postum
contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and
New Orleans rlolasses. 1t took more than year of
experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how
to develop the diastase and properly treat the other
clements in the wheat produce the coffeeke flavor
that makes suspicious people wonder But there
never has been grain of old-tashloned or drug
coffee in Postum and never will be.
Another thing we have on file in general Offices
the original of every testimonial letter have ever
published. We submit that our attitude regarding
coffee is now and always has been absolutely fair. If
one wants stimulant and can digest coffee and it
does not up any sort of physical alment drink it.
But if coffee overaxes and weakens the heart (and
it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease of the stomach and bowels
(and it does with some)
Or if it causes weak eyes (and it does with some).
Or if it causes nervous prostration Gand it does
with many).
Then good plain old-fashioned common sense might
(wthout asking permission of coffee merchants) sug
gest to quit putting caffeine (the drug of cofee) into
a highly organized human body for health is really
wealth and the happiest sort of wealth
Then if ones own best interest urges him to study
into the reason and There's reason" he will I'M
earth great big facts that all of the sopstries of the
coffee importers and roasters cannot refute.

swearing in acquiring government land Is
no new art
through the foreclosure and transfer
of the property. The true working of
the commutatlon clause does not ap-
pear until after foreclosure upon the
maturity of the loans.
One significant brought out by the
lnvestiga ton is that large portion
of the commuters are women, who
never establish a permanent resi-
dence and who are employed tempo
rarily in the towns as school teach
ers or in domestic service, or who are
living with their parents. The great
majority of these commuters sell i'm
medlately upon receiving title, the
business being transacted through
some agent who represents his client
in all dealings and prepares all pa
pers.
The commutation clause, II 1t Is to
be retained to cover special cases,
should be effective only after not less
than three years actual-not con-
structivc-livlng at home on the land
Under present practice, the commuta-
tion period being fourteen months,
six months of this time is generally
taken TO establish residence, so that
only eight months remain. This time
is usually arranged to include the
summer, so that the shack built need
not be habitable in severe winter
weather, and the residence on the
land may consist merely in sum-
mer outing. Obviously it is assen-
tial that residence should he far more
strictly defined 1t is probable that
lax Interpretation and enforcement
of the provisions of the law regard
ing residence is responsible for more
fraud under the homestead act than
all other causes combined.
1t may be urged that the frauds
which have taken place under the

are due largely to lax administration.
The fact is that the precedcnts cstab-

powers of administration that addi-

Desert Land Law.
In the preceding report the op,n,on
was expressed that the desert.,and
law should. for the present, at least
be allowed to stand. with a few
changes in detail. 1t was believed
that. with the experience of the past
for guidance, 1t would be possible to
enforce this law so that its essential
provisions should he complied with
More careful nnalvsis, however. of
the operations of this act and Of the
practices which have grown up has
led your commission strongly to the
conclusion that this law should be
modified In essential particulars.
Your Commission recommended
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-01-05

that the supply is adequate for that
purpose. While this showing, on its
face, indicates compliance with
law, the fact remains that the water
supply, if any at all, is not sufficient
to permanently reclaim the land.
The ownership of stock in a pro-
jected irrigation ditch which does
not exist in fact, or the ownership
of pump temporarily Installed, has
often been accepted, in connection
with such testimony, as proof of the
possession Of water. Many alleged
irrigation bitches or reservoirs are
familiar TO members of the Commits
sion which are utterly inadequate to
irrigate a square rod, and upon the
strength of such works patent has
frequently then issued to 30 acres of
land.
Frauds committed through conven-
tional forms of perjury and through
lack of proper verificatiou of the
facts as to the reclamation of the
land justify the taking of immediate
and radical steps in the revision of
the law. The law should absolutely
require an actual adequate water
supply, and the limits as to quantity
should be defined.
In short, the law should render i'm
possible the continuance of the
practices by which desert lands
without water, without cultivation,
and without crops are passed into
the possession of claimants.
Grabbing Lands.
The great bulk of the vacant pub
lie lands throughout the West are un-
suitable for cultivation under the
present known conditions of agricul-
ture, and so located that they can
not be reclaimed by irrigation. They
are, and probably always must be,
of chief value for grazing. There are
it is estimated, more than 100000
600 acres of public grazing land, an
area approximately equal to one-fifth
the extent of the United States
proper. The exact limits can not be
set, for with seasoned changes large
areas of land which afford good
grazing one year are almost desert In
another. There are also vast tracts
of wooded timbered land in which
grazing has much Importance, and
until a further classification of the
public lands Is made 1t will be i'm
possible to give with exactness the
total acreage. The extent is so vast
and the commercial interests in
volved so great as to demand in the
highest degree the wise and conser-
yative handling of these vast re-
sources.
1t is a matter of the first import
ance to know whether these grazing
lands are being used in the best way
possible for the continued devel p
ment of the country or whether
they are being abused under sys-
tenn which is detrimental to such de-
velopmcnt and by which the only
present value of the land is :. being
r: pidly destroyed.

He was one eff the first to go up

moved down like sheep under the
hail of Confederate bullets. He was
at the taking of Vlcksburg and was
in Sherman's march to the sea. He
was twice imprisoned in Libby.
