COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish a Book About Coffee.

There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum lately, so much
in fact that some of the coffee import
ers and roasters have taken to type
and check if possible the rapid growth
of the use of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book a chap
ter is headed Coffee as Medicine"
and advocates its use as such.
Here is an admission OF the truth,
most important to all interested.
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any medicine of the
drug-stimulant type of coffee or whis
ky quickly causes irritation of the
tissues and organs stimulated and
finally sets up disease in the great
majority of cases if persisted in. 1t
may show in any one of the many
organs of the body and in the great
majority of cases can be directly
traced to coffee in a most unmistak-
able way by leaving off the active IT.
ritant--coffee-and using Postum
Food Coffee for a matter of ten days.
If the result is relief from nervous
trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with
the accuracy of demonstration in
mathematics.
There's a reason" for Postum.

THE FIRST TO DEFY
REAL BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN
FREEDOM.
In Little Town of Charlotte, North
Carolina, in May, 1775, Convention
Assembled to Declare for In
dependence.

Nesting in the Piedmont region OF
North Carolina stands the little town
of Charlotte To-day it looks sleepy,
and peaceful and quiet, but in colon
ial times it was perhaps the liveliest
place in the old north state. indeed
at least one of his most gracious mai
esty's officers referred to it as the
hornets nest of America. This cpl
tibet, born of baffied wrath was not
misapplied, says Harper's Weekly, Al
most from its first settlement by the
sturdy Scotch who emigrated thither
early in the eighteenth century, from
their native land or from a temporary
abiding-plaee in the north of Ireland,
Mecklenberg county, of which Char
lotte is the center, was famed as the
habitat of irreconcilables. The early
annals of North Carolina bear album
dant testimony to the temper and
spirit of the men of Mecklenburg, and
as the years passed and the British
yoke became more and more unbear-
able, nowhere was disloyalty more
openly voiced than among the glades
and hills of this charming region. If
1t be true of the rest of the country
that the prevailing sentiment in the
period Immediately preceding the rev
olution was for an amicabe settle
ment of the difficulties with Great
Britain, it would seem certain that
in Mecklenburg at least, there was
a well-detined opinion in favor OF re
pudiating allegiance, cutting loose en-
tirely from the motherland, and enter
ing upon career of Independent ma
tionality This opinion, il the claims
of the Mecklenburgians and their de
scendants are to be accepted, cul
minated in May 1915. in the adoption,
by regularly elected delegates to
county convention, of a bold and war
like declaration OF independence, set
ting forth the wrongs under which
the colonies were laboring, and in nc
uncertain terms asserting that we dc
hereby declare ourselves a free and
independent people; that we are, and
of right ought to be- a sovereign and
self-governing people under the power
of God and the general congress; to
the maintenance of which independ-
ence we solemnly pledge to each other
our mutual cooperation, our lives, our
fortunes, and our most sacred honor.
AS the story goes, the convention
was the outcome of several earlier
meetings of the leading spirits of
the county, held for the purpose of
ascertaining the attitude of the inhabi-
tants with respect to the claim of par
lament to tax the colonies and other
wise regulate their internal affairs.
So soon as it was learned that open
opposition to the home authorities
would receive popular support, Thorn
as Polk, the colonel commandant of
the county, issued an order to each
militia captain directing him to call
a company meeting for the election
of two delegates to a county conven-
ton. This was done, and on May 19,
1775, the convention assembled in the
courthouse at Charlotte.

Treatment of Habitual Criminals.


The New Zealand minister for jus
tice has introduced the habitual Grim
inals and offend ers bill which pro-
vides that where person has been
twice convicted of a criminal assault
or four times of wounding, robbery or
burglary, he may be regarded as an
habitual criminal and at the expira
ton of his sentence detained in a re-
formatory.
After six convictions for vagrancy a
man may be treated in the same way.
Discharge from the reformatory will
be secured only on the recommends
tion of the court, while the detained
offenders will be made to work and
wages will be placed to their credit
or toward the support of their depend
ents
