Doctor Was Fooled by His own
Case for Time.
It's easy to understand how ordinary
people get fooled by coffee when doctors
themselves sometimes forget the facts.
4 physician speaks of his own expert
ence:
Il had used coffee for years and real
ly did not exactly believe it was injur,
ing me. although l had pdlpitation Of
the heart every day.
Finally one day a severe and almost
fatal attack of heart trouble frightened
me and l gave up both tea and coffee,
using Postum instead. and since that
time l have had absolutely no heart
palpitation except on one or two occa-
sions when / tried small quantity Of
coffee which caused severe Irritation
and proved to me l must let it alone.
when we began using Postum 1t
seemed weak-that was because we cid
not make it according to directions
but now we put a little bit of butter
III the pot when boiling and allow the
Postum to boil full 10 minutes, which
gives 1t the proper rich flavor and the
deep brown color.
II have advised great many of my
friends and patients to leave of coffee
and drink Postum; In fact, daily give
this advice" Name given by Postum

Not So Poor as He Seemed.

There happened to be country fair

GUAM AND IT'S PEOPLE.

The island of Guam. a possession of
the United States in Pacific, is
the subject of letter from Agama
the capital, to the Charlotte, N. c.,
Chronicle. Guam has an area of 200
square miles on which are 5000 peo-
pie. Statistics give IS schools on the
island and state that nine-tenths of
the Islanders can read and write. Yet
the letter says that the people will
not work. The shipments of mer-
chandise from the States to Guam
amounted in value to S101,9OO in
1904, and only 1910 in 1905.
The writer states that the only
farming implement used in Guam is a
hoe used like the scuffing hoe in the
states, plows being unknown. Guam
is said to be thickly wooded. well
watored and fertile, producing trop-
ical fruits abundantly. There is also
good harbor. The article concludes
that IF the American people wish
to help Guam they can do it quickly
and efficiently by teaching the peo-
pie improved agriculture. If the ag-
ricultural possibilities of Guam were
developed. the people would not have
to depend on japanese traders for
their sustenance."

being, he regards government owner
ship as fraught with danger and still
hopes that successful regulation may
make government ownership unneces-
sary. I go a step farther and express
it as my opinion that experience has
already proved the futility of regula-
tion and propose a plan which elm
mates the greatest evil of government
ownership-the centralization of so
much power in the hands of the feder-
al government. Without this alterna-
tive of government ownership it would
be entirely impossible to drive the
railroads out of politics. Even with
this threat l am very much afraid that
we shall not he able to keep the rail-
road representatives. away from con-
gress and the state legislatures.
There is lust one other objection to
which l wish to refer, namely-that
under government ownership an ad-
mlnistration could keep itself in pow
er. Under the dual system proposed
only the trunk lines would be under
the control of the federal government,
and their employees would be few
compared with the entire number of
railroad employees in the country. As
the various states would own the local
lines within theiI borders the influ-
ence of one state would counteract
the influence of another state. Then,
too, under a proper civil service the
interference of the railroad employees
in politics would he reduced to a min
imum. Some II years ago 1 propos-
ed a change in the civil service law
which would give 10 each party its
proportionate representation in the
civil service. This plan would pre-
serve the merit system in the appoint
ments but would give each party its
share of the offices, and the employees
would counteract each others influ-
ence.
I might add that having passed
through two campaigns, 1 have been
able to form an opinion of the civil
service employees as compared with
the railroad employees. The president
was against me in both my campaigns
In the first a democratic president
was using his influence in behalf of
the republican candidate, and in the
second election the republican candi-
date was at the head of all the de-
partments of the government. In
both campaigns the civil service en-
rloyes gave me less trouble than the
railroad employees, who were coerced
by their employers into the support
of the republican ticket, and 1 say
without hesitation that I would rather
risk the influence which a president
can bring to bear upon civil service
employees than to risk the influence
which railroad owners can bring to
bear upon railroad employees.

Good-by, dainty peekaboo
Guess it's twenty-three for YOU.
Yet, this month | will avow,
Speaking boldly, here and now,
You have played a happy role,
Giving pleasure, as a whole,
Both to maids who wore you and
Many men throughout the land.
Poets too, have sung of you,
Ventilated peekaboo,
Photographers had their say,
Waxing pertinent and gay,
Pouting preachers, here and there,
Spoke harsh words-as if you care
You were talked, both up and down
Winning fame. and great renown,
You were honored by the bugs,
Fitting where the suitor hugs.
Nou were proved a golden theme,
Half a garment, half a dream,
Waking envy in the mind
Of us willing human kind.
Wreaking havoc in mems hearts.
Who observed by fits and starts,
Stirring up a deal of bliss
That a fell wo couldn't miss.
Yet, the seasons changed, and so,
Now it's time 70 ryou to go
On your way, but promise to
Come again, sweet peekaboo.

VICTOR HUGO MUSEUM.

The house in which Victor Hugo
lived during the most important part
of his life, from 1882 to 1S4S, and in
which he wrote the most popular of
his literary works, has recently been
fitted up for a museum and now con-
tains a fascinating collection of per-
sonal relics and mementoes of that
remarkable man.
1t is situated in the Place des Vos-
ges, a historical square in a forgotten
part of Paris. Six or seven hundred
years ago 1t was the center of the
fashionable quarter and was sur
rounded by the palaces of the Hen
rys. The square itself was used for
several centuries as jousting ground
for knights.
King Henry II was accidentally
killed there in a tournament. The
palaces were demolished by Catherine
de Medici and King Henry w, who
had a frugal disposition, replaced
them with lofty dwelling houses
which he rented to members of the
court. They are fine types of fifteenth
century dwellings, surrounding a
square about the size of an ordinary
city block.
The ground floor is protected by a
series of colonnades or arcades like
those of the Palais Royal, which be-
longed to a subsequent generation.
At one time they were considered the
most desirable residences in the city.
In 1859 Cardinal Richelieu erected in
the center of the square bronze
equestrian statue of Louis XIII, which
was destroyed by the mob in 1892 and
replaced by Louis PHILIPPE in 1S21.-
