DIDN'T BELIEVE
That Coffee Was the Real Trouble.

Some people founder around and
take everything that's recommended
but finally find that coffee is the real
cause of their troubles. An Oregon
man says:
For 25 years I was troubled with
my stomach. l was a steady coffee
drinker, but didn't suspect that as
the cause. / took almost anything
which someone else had been cured
with but TO no good. / was very bad

CURIOUS OLD LAWS
WERE THOSE OF COLONY AND
DOMINION OF VIRGINIA
Order Given for Building Of Jail Seems
TO Have Been Beginning of Law
and order-Rules for
Innkeepers.

During one of his last lecture tours
through Old Virginia Mr.. Harry Ellard
was In small town called Fincastle,
which is the county seat of Botetourt
county, and there gave a talk to the
Confederate Veteran association of that
place He met number OF gentlemen
who were connected with the court
house and who allowed him access to
all of the records of the county.
On looking back nearly 40 years he
came across curious order of the
court which he copied and which is as
follows:
BE it remembered that at the house
OF Mr. Robert Breckenridge, in the
County of Botetourt, on Tuesday, the
thirteenth day of February, in the
tenth year of the reign of our Sover-
eign King George the Third, by the
grace of God of Great Britain, France
and Ireland, King Defender of the
Faith, and in the year of our Lord
Christ one thousand seven hundred
and seventy, in the Colony and Do
minion of Virginia, that the Court or
ders that the Surveyor of Botetourt
county do lay of two and one-half
acres of land for the use of the county
directed by Robert Breckenridge. who
shall appoint by court Christian and
Stephen Figg to agree with a workman
to build a log cabin twenty-four feet
long and twenty feet wide, for a Court
house, with clapboard roof with two
small rooms, one al each end, for q
jury room.
THE court doth give leave to James
NJ Geoock to build log cabin twenty
four feet long and sixteen feet wide.
with an addition at the end sixteen feet
wide and twelve feet long. for a prison
and the Gaoler's House, the expense of
which 70 be paid by the county"
This was the first record Mr.. Ellard
came across, so il win be seen that by
the building of the courthouse and fail
law and order began to prevail in this
section Another curious order which
Mr.. Ellard copied is as follows:
Order of the Colonial Court regulat.
ing the charge of Innkeepers at Fin
castle. Virginia, 18th day of February
ITO, under King George III. of Eng
land, Defender of the Faith.
Ordered that the following rates be
observed by innkeepers in Botetourt
county to-wit: For East India rum
they may demand 10 shillings per gal
lon, for rum made on this continent
shillings sixpence per gallon, Madeira
wine II shillings per gallon, for Tene-
riff II shillings per gallon, for peach
brandy 5 shillings per gallon, for ap-
pie brandy shillings per gallon For
Virginia strong malt beer, bottled three
months. Z pence half penny per bottle,
same not bottled three months one
shilling three pence: for Bumbo with
two gills of rum TO the quart made

pence, for same with brown sugar one
shilling. For warm diet with beer
sixpence, for lodging with clean sheets
one in a bed. sixpence. two in a bed
three pence three farthings, more than
two in bed nothing"
There was no explanation given as te
what Bumbo was, but it might have
been colonial highball.

Indians at State Fair

One of the most interesting
and instructive features of the
Wisconsin State Fair, to be held
in Milwaukee September LOLA,
Will be a model Indian Village.
composed of Indians from vari.
Gus Wisconsin reserva tons.
This exhibit is being arranged
for at great expense and under
the supervision of well-known
ethnologist, and will undoubted-
ly be the best effort made in
Wisconsin to show the 1ndia n
to advantage and illustrate his
manner of living, games, coun-
ellis and occupations.
The Indian Village will occupy
large portion of the beautiful
grove in the southwestern Sec
ton of the Fair Grounds, and
will be a free feature for all who
attend the Fair. There will be
a special program of Indian
events for each day of the Fair.
The committee in charge of the
exhibit proposes to show the
Indian as he might have been
found in the wilds of Wisconsin
one hundred years ago. Many
OF the most striking types of
Indian men have been secured
for the exhibit, and with them
come their squaws and papooses.
They will live in their Indian
tepees; the babies will be rocked
in cradles suspended from the
trees and the squaws will be
busily engaged in making In
dian baskets, stringing beads
and following their usual daily
routine work. The Indians will
be encamped a few days prior
to the opening of the Fair and be
a leading feature the entire
week.
Special reduced railroad rates
Of one fare for the round trip
have been announced for State
