NO COFFEE.
The Doctor Said.

Conee slavery is not much different
from alcohol or any other drug. But
many people don't realize that coffee
contains poisonous, habit forming
drug-caffeine.
They get into the habit Of using cof-
fee, and no wonder. when some writer's
for respectable magazines and papers
speak of coffee as harmless
OF course it doesn't paralyze one in
a short time like alcohol, or put one
to sleep like morphine, but it slowly
acts on the heart, kidneys and nerves,
and soon forms a drug habit, just the
same, and one that is the cause of
many overlooked ailments.

The arrest of Austin and his wife
Lizzie, followed the burglary of an
East Main street fur store, when fur
goods to the value of more than $4,000
were stolen. When Officer Lage at
tempted to arrest Austin the negro
shot at, and came close to hitting the
policemen The stolen property was
later found near where the negro was
arrested. His wife was also arrested,
tried, and convicted of burglary.
1t is said that both Austin and his

in the state hospital at Independence.

For Personal Injury Recommended.
The personal injury suit of Elmer e.
Winters against the Iowa Artificial
Ice and Refrigerating Company, which
was filed in August and was then dis
missed by the plaintiff, has been filed
for the January term of court. The
allegations set forth in the petition of
the case just filed are very similar to
those of the first petition. Winters
was teamster in the employ of the
company, and on Nov. 2, 1905, was in
jured while unloading a piece of ma

form. For his injuries, which con-
sisted of a fractured leg, he asks dam
ages of $4,000. He alleges negligence

still By no means lacking in wits. In
his publications for the Smithsonian
and the Museum of Natural History
DR.. Boas opens up very extraofdin-
airy glimpse into their manners and
customs. Among these are the pot
latch feasts given by chiefs to uphold
their authority, in which they dis
tribute largess in very medieval
fashion, consisting of blankets and big
copper tokens which have a fictitious
but relatively enormous value, the OBJ
ject of the largess being to prove by
their princely generosity that they are
both richer and more lavish than some
rival chief.
Another and often very disgusting
ceremony is the initiation of a new
member into cannibal society. The
novice returns emaciated and in state
of frantic ecstasy from the woods,
bringing pieces of old corpses, skulls,
or bones, which he chews in order to
strike awe into the hearts of the spec
tators. He enters the lodge by the
hole in the top or some other unexpect-
ed way, after the whistles of his fell
low-cannibals and his own shrill cries
have been heard without for some
time, and he INDUCES in the pleasant
pastime of biting people. Such prac-
tees readily recall the loathsome
messes which have always formed part
of the witch and wizard outfit in
Europe down to the present century,

break off in huge masses under the ac-
ton of storms and frost, forming a Sc
ries of small cliffs, alternating with
long slopes Of debris, the whole being
crowned by lofty embattled cliffs of
massive sandstone. At the tops of the
slopes of debris and under the vertical
cliffs are found the remains of houses
once inhabited by the cliff dwelIers
who lived for many centuries in the
Mesa Verde country, and the cause of
whose disappearance from that region
has not yet been adequately explained.
As result of investigations con-
Quoted by the Smithsonian Institution
and other learned institutions it has
been determined that the cliff dwellers
were of the same stock as the Pueblo
Indians, who now live in villages To-
Gated on the mesas and in the valleys

The evidence so far obtained suggests
that some of the clans Of the Moki tribe
in Northern Arizona migrated to their
present habitat from a place in the
north, and that place is believed to be
the Mesa Verde country.

KWAKIUTLS OF NORTH AMERICA

The Smithsonian has done much to
preserve for the science of the future
a great deal that relates to the ap-
pearance, language, habits and Gus
toms, and mythology of the North
American aborigines, but there are
private persons who are helping. most
efiicaciously in this useful work.
Among them there is scarcely one who
deserves more consideration for what
he has accomplished and is in process
of effecting than Morris K. Jesup.
The tribes ON the northwest coast
studied by Boas and Hunt are apt to
be thickset, broadfaced people, rather
long bodied, and sometimes bearded.
