The Coffee Debate.

erly educated physician, chemist and
food expert.
Please remember we never say ordt-
nary coffee hurts everyone.
Some people use it regularly and seem
strong enough to withstand its attacks.
but there is misery and disease In store
for the man or woman who persists In
it's use when nature protests, by heart
weakness, stomach and bowel troubles,
kidney disease, weak eyes, or general
nervous prostration. The remedy is OBJ
vious. The drug caffeine, contained in
all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued
absolutely or the disease will continue In
spite of any medicine and will grow
worse.
1t is easy to leave off the old-fashioned
coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee.
for in it one finds pleasing hot break
fast or dinner beverage that has the deep
seal brown color, changing to a rich
golden brown when good cream is added.
When boiled long enough Us minutes)
the flavor is not that Of rank Rio coffee
but very like the milder, smooth and
high grade Java, but entirely lacking
the drug effect of ordinary coffee.
Anyone suffering from disorders set
up by coffee drinking (and there is an
extensive Variety can absolutely depend
upon some measure of relief by quitting
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee.
If the disease has not become too
strongly rooted, one can with good rea-
son expect 1t to disappear entirely In
reasonable time after the active cause
Of the trouble is removed and the Gel
lular tissue has time to naturally re-
build with the elements furnished by
Postum and good food.
It's only Just plain old common sense.
Now, with the exact facts before the
| reader, he or she can decide the wise
course, looking to health and the power
to do things.
II you have any doubt as to the cause
of any ache or all you may have, remem-
Der the far-reaching kilograms ofa hurt
nervous system travel from heel to head,
and It may be we'll worth your while to
make the experiment of leaving off cof-
fee entirely for 10 days and using
Postum in its place.
You will probably gather some good
solid facts, worth more than gold mine,
for health can make gold and sickness
lose it. Besides there's all the fun, for
it's like continuous internal frolic to
be perfectly well.

what a terrible menace to nation OF civ
ilized people when one kind Of beverage
cripples the energies and health OF
one-third the people who use it.
We make the assertion advisedly and
suggest that the reader secure his own
proof by personal inquiry among coffee
users.
Ask your coffee drinking friends II

and ails. You will be startled at the per-
centage and will very naturally seek to
place the cause of disorder on something

ed tendencies or something else.

of the weak ones and says II can't quit"
you will have discovered one Of the
slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such
kindly, for they seem absolutely power
less to stop the gradual but sure destruc-
ton of body and health.
Nature has way of destroying part
of the people to make room for the
stronger 1t is the old law Of ''the sur
vival of the fittest' at work, and the
victims are many.
We repeat the assertion that coffee
does harm many people, not all, but an
army large enough to appal the investi-
gator and searcher for facts.
The next prevarication of the coffee
importers and roasters is their statement
that Postum Food Coffee is made OF
roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed
with a low grade Of coffee and that it
contains no nourishment.
We have previously offered to wager
$10O,O0OO0 with them that their state
ments are absolutely false.
They have not accepted our wager and

The published statements Of a number
of coffee importers and roasters indicate
a 'waspy" feeling towards us, for daring
to say that coffee is harmful to percent
age of the people.
A frank public discussion of the sub
ject is quite agreeable to us and can GER
tainly do no harm; on the contrary, when
all the facts on both sides of any question
are spread before the people they can
tbereupon decide and act intelligently.

A Dearth of Cars.

Demand of the railroads upon the
work for their locomotives and cars is
in excess all over the country of their
ability to meet it; that is, demand of
traffic has outrun railroad equipment
very far. 1t is in the west that the
shortage produces extreme inconveni-
ence and heavy loss. Even the great
lines of the east can't move the traffic
that offers, and lack of motive power
delays even passenger trains. In the
southern states, according to the Ore
gonian, the conditions are very similar
to those that prevail in the west. Were
the situation without remedy the peo-
pie would be patient. But it is felt
everywhere that there has not been
sufficient foresight or enterprise in
making provision to handle the traffic
of the country, and in most, if not in
all states, legislative inquiry will be
made with view, perhaps, to enforce
ment of remedies, or at least of at
tempting them.
The people do not wish to deal I'm.
justly with the railroads, nor do they
expect impossibilities; but they do fee
that there has been delinquency, Oh
dilatoriness, and they wish to Eek

perhaps it will be impossible to furnish
the cars called for since none can b.
bought or built at once, but it will b.
admonitory and hasten results. Lacl
of cars has been an increasing com
plant for years, and it is not believe
that the railroads have done all the
could or should to meet it.

Empty cars for west bound freight

wheat buyer advises US that the princi-
pal reason for this condition OF things
lies in the fact tina. loaded cars. west
bound, owing to the oyertaXed condi-
ton of all west bound engines, are FIRE
quently sidetracked at the numerous
sidings between the Columbia river and
the summit Of the Cascade mountains,
where they remain for an indefinite
period, and, being loaded. are thus I'M
available until they find their way to
the coast and are unloaded. What
seems to be needed is not so much
more cars, but more engines to properly
handle the cars the railroads now
have.

Rapid Increase at East Side Asylum

According to reports just received
from Superintendent W. H. Anderson
of the Eastern Washington hospital for
insane and the state institution for
feeble minded at Medical Lake, there
is continuation of the rapid increase
in number of inmates. The report
covers the month of October and show
l2S children in the Predetermined insti-
tuition and 52l patients on the rolls of
the asylum as compared with 9s feeble
minded and AIS insane two years ago
in October. There were eight feeble
minded admitted last month, filling the
institution beyond It's normal capacity,
although the building was only ce.a-
pleted last May. The hospital received

the sessions.
Efforts are being made to secure
speakers from abroad for these meet
ings. Prof. F. B. Linfeld, director of
the Montana Experiment Station, has
been invited to attend on behalf of the
Breeders Association. Mr.. H. W..
Campbell of Bethany, Nebraska, well
known advocate of the Campbell system
of cultivation for dry land, better
known as the promoter of dry land
farming, has also been asked to attend
and show the wheat growers how they
can increase the yield of their semi
arid farms. These two distinguished
speakers alone, will be worth the at
tention of all interested farmers.
Programs for all these meetings are
in preparation and will be announced
very soon. Information regarding
these can be obtained by addressing
Prof. w. A. Linklater, and has direct
charge of the Breeders Association
Convention, and the details for the
other meetings are in the hands OF
Prof. E. E. Elliot.

Education in Agriculture.

The Toledo Recorder is a new con
vert to the doctrine that an education
is necessary to become successful
modern agriculturist The editor
admits that he formerly held to the
idea that all a man had to do to make
success on the farm was to work
hard and let the crops and weeds grow.
He did not then think that the book
farmer had any advantage over his
neighbor who plowed the land simply
because his father did so in the early
days. But now the world has changed.
The editor has seen light and is free
to acknowledge the error of his ways
and advise the young men to study how
to become tillers of the soil.
A farmer should be the best educated
man of his times. He has more respon-
sibilities than the ordinary man of at
fairs. He must know something about
the land and it's elements of fertility.
He should know how to conserve soil
moisture and make two blades Of grass
grow where one has grown before.
The farmer cannot expect to succeed
unless he studies the markets and pro
duces that which the people desire.
lie must read tn papers, visit tn,
cities, talk with po,tiel rs and every
other class of men and keep his credit
good in many places. The ordinary
man has a single thought requiring at
tention, while the farmer has a train
of thoughts.
Every year adds to the Importance
of the state college as an educational
feature. 1t is the place where farm
boys may be educated. There is d
regular appropriation for the purpose
of training students in all the principles
of farming, gardening and orcharding
1t is the duty of the faculty to give
instructions in all those branches.
And the college at Pullman has a rep
utation for being thorough in The mat
ter of educating agricultural students.
The teachers are well qualified for the
work and take pride in advocating
agriculture at every possible oppor-
tunity.
The farmers Institutes, held in every
county throughout the state, are ed
vocational conventions. The object of
those meetings is to help the farmers
in becoming more proficient in the art
of cultivating the soil and handling its
products. No one has attained such a
high standing as to be able to retire
and leave the world because there is
nothing more to learn. With the dis
of agricultural literature
and the increase of college facilities,
there is no reason why farmers should
be ignorant of the principles underlying
success. Let the schools advance and
publications multiply-until every man
on the land has a modern agricultural
education.

Results in Dry Farming.

The most remarkable story of success
in dry farming comes from Texas. A
large ranch owned by the Farwell fam
lily of Chicago, has been used as an ex-
pertinent station. 1t is located in the
semi-arid region of the Panhandle,
where the rainfall is light. The past
season was exceptionally dry, the mois-
ture precipitation being less than six
inches from January until after harvest.
The department of agriculture had ex-
perts in the field and planted several
plots to cereals. Wheat gave returns
ranging from 10 to 80 bushels per acre.
Barley yielded from % to 32 bushels,
and emmer gave 81 bushels to the
acre.
Sixteen plots were planted to wheat
at different times during the fall and
spring. One field of IL acres planted
to winter wheat gave returns ranging
almost % bushels per acre. The grain
was perfect and tested 60 pounds to the
bushel Soft wheat gave l6 bushels
per acre, while hard wheat returned as
high as 80 bushels from the same sized
tract. Similar results were obtained
from rye, oats and barley. The best
crops were grown on summer fallow
land, where the moisture had been con-
served. The experiments will cause
many owners of semi-arid lands to try
grain for getting returns from their
investment.
Modern agriculture has changed many
old ideas regarding the need of water
in forcing nature to give annual crops.
Many farmers under canals have prac'
tcally killed their lands by using toe
much water. This is true of sections
where alkili has come to the surface
and destroyed the soil fertility. A few
years ago engineers discovered thai
| farmers in Colorado were putting a;
inches of water on their lands every
growing season of five months, because
they claimed an inch to the acre fol
irrigation. Another expert reported
that in the Sunnysipe country the far
mers had used 70 inches of water TO
maturing crops.
Cultivation is more important thai
irrigation. The soil requires RICH
handling to conserve moisture and Civ
out its fertility to crops. 1t is better t
stir the soil than to pour water on
U.L,.cc rc-ctoticr docs rot coll for yrois
; ture except that already stored in tn
earth. The numerous experiments i
Colorado, Texas and other dry section
should be object lessons to those VIII
insist on using too much water on thei
. lands. Many crops are spoiled by en-
cessive moisture, but few ever fail
, give results on account of over cultivs
ton. Assist nature in producing tn
y best crops and the harvest will be sal
isfactory and profitable.
