Several Kansas exchanges contrib ute a symposium on MT. Whites fla nous question. The Newton Republi- can starts off by saying: A stalk of corn raised on the Page House farm. near Sedgwick. is on exhibition at Henry Gardner's office today. It lacks only a few inches of being fifteen feet tall"
 To which the Harper Sentinel adds
 "C. w. Parsons threshed a single acre of oats this week that yielded 150 bushels. The acre was picked out as the zest one in the field and the as the best one in the field and the formerly been in alfalfa We believe that this will be the oat record for the state for a single acre. A field of about sixty acres threshed by Mir. Parsons made an average yield of fifty bushels to the acre"

The principal argument against sep arate statehood in past years has been that it was too expensive, that Arizona could not afford to pay the salaries of q stote government.

Anyone suffering from disorders set

We demand facts in this coffee dis
cussIon 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 Pos.
tum Food Coffee and in their newspa-
per statements undertake. to deceive
by false assertions.
Their first is that coffee is not harm
full.
We assert that one in every three
cnffee fisera has some form of inclnl.

and says "I can't quit" you will have
discovered one OF the slaves OF the cof.
fee importer. Treat such kindly. for
they seem absolutely powerless to stop
the gradual but suro destruction Of
body and health.
Nature has n way OF destroying n
part OF the people to make room for
the stronger. It Is the old law Of "the
survival OF the fittcst" ut work, and
the victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people. not all. but
an army large enough to appal tho in.
vcstigator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
Importers and roasters is their state.
ment that Postum Food Coffee is made
OF roasted peas. beans or corn. and
mixed with low grade Of coffee and
that It contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager

ments are absolutely false.
