When coffee gets a person well within
its grip and the drug habit Is fixed then
comes twisting and turning TO get free.
With many people, if the coffee is left
of at breakfast a headache sets in, and II
coffee Is taken the old stomach and nerv-
Gus disorders are simply added to and
made more fixed and harder to escape
from. Still there Is u very easy way to
freedom and health.
A woman in Mo. says.
Il never thought Of attributing my all
ments to coffee till, several months ago, |
saw o Postum Food Coffee advertisement
which stated that the old kind Of coffee
was frequently injurious to people, 30 |

GUS wreck With weak heart which huttered
and threatened to stop.

the flavor. My husband, who did not know
that it was not the old kind OF coffee, rel

taken with a headache and drowsiness
caused by the lack Of the customary drug.

dinner and supper. The next day the
headache was not 40 bad, and by the third

Headache, when coffee is left off, Is rare,
but is a sure, infallible sign Of a poisoned.

TO AMEND EXCLUSION Law.
Hill Intr Oduced In Accordance With the
Presidents Recommendations.

Hill introduced In Accordance With the
Presidents Recommendations.
WASHINGTON, April l1.-Mr. DENLY OF
Michigan, a member of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs. to-day introduced a bill
to amend the Chinese exclusion law in
accordance with the recommendations of
the President for liberal treatment Of the
Chinese. The measure is a little broader
than the Foster bill. which the committee
has had under consideration, but contains
no provision which will operate to let
down the bars which now keep out Chinese
coolies.
The measure provides for the examination
OF Chinese before they sail from their native
country for the United States by spe cial
examiners of this country in conjunction
with American consuls. 1t places in the
exempt classes bankers, members Of the
learned professions, ~bookkeepers and ac-
countants. 1t stipulates, however. that
those admitted under the exempt clauses
shall forfeit their right to remain In the
United States in case they engage in occu-
pations for gain.
The bill provides for the registration Of
all Chinese now here, within one year, and
that the provisions enacted shall remain
in force for ten years. Various changes in
administration are made, and there is also
a change to the effect that in cases OF the
arrest of Chinese where the burden OF proof
now rests upon the Chinaman it shall here
after rest upon the Government.

Modern business devotes
a good deal of time, thought
and money to fighting dark
ness, to frightening the day
and shortening the night.
In this great fight The
New York Edison Company
plays the most important

good as that supplied by the
Edison Company; no one
means of light is so largely
used in this great city.
If you want light to make
your place of business glow,

If you have any new and
unusual use for light, talk to

cation of the Edison service.

NARROW ESCAPE-BUGGY
SMASHED.

While driving down Shelby
street, on Friday night, in buggy
with MS mother, Mrs. +. J. Rob-
erts, Mr.. Walter A. Roberts, of
this office, III the dark, ran into
an enclosed mortar bed, in front
of Il house belonging to Mr.. w.
II. Posev, which was being re-
paired by Il local contractor, the
buggy was upset, the horse thrown
down, and Mrs. Roberts and her
son were thrown under the horses
heels.
But for the fact that the ami
nal they were driving was Il very
tractable one, answering to the
word Of command readily, both
the occupants of the buggy would,
doubtless, have been killed. AS
it was, Mrs. Roberts was badly
bruised and scratched, while Mr..
Roberts was only shaken up. The
buggy was smashed to pieces and
the harness broken. The horse,
however, was not badly hurt.
1t seems that the mortar bed
extended nearly to the street car
track, there were no danger lights
set up, and the street lights We're
obstructed by the heavy foliage.
Mrs. Roberts is hardly able to
move because of her injuries.

tion of The aching was sure to fol-

disturbed action of the kidneys
was trouble with the kidney secre-
tions. | tried various remedies,
but found nothing that did me
any permanent good. Reading an
advertisement in our local papers
about Doan's Kidney Pills it
occurred to me that they might
ut .east give some relief. Acting
on this thought | went to J. w.

Their use proved that what people
said about Doan's Kidney Pills
was nothing short of the truth.

He was no longer a Mr." or

country man came into Lamp
tons store, in charge of a Con-
stable under arrest, and held by q
Magistrate S warrant of commit
tai tosjail to work out fine of SD
for failure to work the county
road. He besought the new APP
pointee to help him, pleading the
excuse that his wife was sick when
he was ordered on the road. Lis
tening gravely and attentively to
the statement. the new AIDE to the
Governor asked the Constable for
the warrant, took it, called for
pen and ink, and endorsed in bold
plain handwriting upon the back,
" Pardoned-John \. Crutcher,
Aide to the Governor, with the
rank OF Colonel. "
The Constable took the warrant,
released the prisoner, and the
man went home rejoicing. Sew
eral days later he brought a bas-
ket of hickory nuts to Col.
Crutcher as a token of gratitude.
When Gov. Powell afterwards
heard of the affair, he laughed
immediately and said, All
right, oil right would have

VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT
PAPER.

The Improvement Association
of Moorestown, n. j., which is
afflicted with the American Civic
Association, issues Il monthly
periodical called Village I'm
provement. " 1t contains much
interesting news of the betterment
work in and about Moorestown,
and is literally patronized by adj
vertisers. The following extract
from the Septemb Der number is
typical of the valuable Informal
ton which this little journal gives
to it's readers:
a communication from the
Township Committee has appeared
in the local papers, calling the
attention of property owners to
the fact that many of the shade
trees along our streets are in nee d
of trimming. In many places
the dropping branches are so low
over the sidewalk that pedestrians
are continually annoyed by them,
especially in rainy weather.
1.-THE Township Committee
realizes that it is within their
province to have these trees
trimmed, but they prefer that the
property owners should attend to
it themselves, and thus carry out
their own ideas III connection with
the rest of their lawn.
1--WE would encourage all prop
ertv owners to notice carefully
whether the trees along their side
walk are in need of trimming. IF
they are, have some competelt
person attend TO it. \ tree can
be trained in the way it should
GO by proper pruning; but it may
also be very much spoiled by im-
proper trimming"

Probably the only instance on
record of a pardon issued by an
Aid to the Governor, occurred
during the administration of Gov.
Lazarus w. Powell. a citizen,
now living IN the West End of the
city-Col. j. n. Chad moved to
Catlettsburg, with Boss hampton,
a merchant, and was employed by
him as clerk. One day, pom.
derous document, with a big seal,
six inches in diameter, and pro-
fusely decorated with sealing
wax, came by mail to this clerk.
On opening it, a commission from
Gov. Powell was disclosed, con-
ferring, in all the pomp of eX-
pa,Sive work, an appointment
upon the. modest clerk of Add to
the Governor with the rank of
Colonel" In those days of slow
travel and isolated communities,
such events were rare, and the
news quickly spread of the new
honor. and Col. J. N. G. soon
became a celebrity of the town.
