OUTDOOR LIFE
Will Not Offset the Ill Effects of Coffee

A farmer says:

ut was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more / suffered

they were caused by the use of coffee
until got so bad / had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat
ing. There were times when | could
eat only boiled milk and bread and
when l went to the field to work
had to take some bread and butter
along to give me strength.
Il doctored with doctors and took
almost everything | could get for my
stomach in the way of medicine, but
IL got any better it only lasted lit
tie while until / was almost a walking
skeleton.
"One day / read an ad for Postum
and told my wife would try 1t, and
as to the following facts will make
affidavit before any Judge:

my health entirely and can eat any
thing that is cooked to eat. I have
increased In weight until now I weigh

taken any medicine for my stomach
since / began using Postum. Why, /
believe Postum will almost digest an

first, but they saw the effects 1t had
on me, and when they were feeling
bad they began to use Postum, one at

LOGIC OF PEON POLITICS,

1t has been divulged by certain of
the railroad politicians and Repub.
lican organ grinders in Kansas that
The Star did not wholly agree with
Colonel Harris in relation to the
railroad bill that was passed by the
Kansas Legislature in 1897, and
vetoed by Governor Leedy. The
discovery that this paper, nine years
ago. asserted the privilege Of CRITICS.
Ing an act for which Colonel Harris
was supposed tie be partly response.
bic has provoked almost an hysteria
of glee among the clacquers for the
Hoch railroad ticket in Kansas,
though their cachipation lacks some
what that genuine tone OF mlrth which
nervous force work can never sim.
ulate with anything approximating an
artistic effect.
Now, what all Of this buster and
hurrah makes clear is, that The Star
did not approve of a bill which was
favored by one of its friends-with
reasons, doubtless, satisfactory to
himself-and that it expressed its
adverse opinion with absolute candor.
1t would not have been true to itself
nor fair to Colonel Harris if it had
done anything else.
1t should be recalled that Colonel
Harris was looked upon as a some.

A state officer who is in touch with
the Republican campaign says that
the poll which the Republican state
committee is taking, shows that Hoch
will lose heavily in every town in
which there is wholesale business.
The impression among wholesale
merchants is that Hoch made terms
with the railroads in the Republi
can state convention, and they have
no confidence in his promises. The
Republican poll shows that the
wholesale men are going to vote the
Democratic ticket because they be
lleve that the candidates on thai
ticket will help them get a square
deal from the railroads.
