TIE MEADE DISASTER.

North Dakota Solves the Adulteratlon
Problen1

North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the question, How shall
we protect the people from frauds IN
manufactured products?" a new law
has recently gone into effect designed
to make it impossible to deceive peo-
pie into buying inferior and adulter-
ated paint under the impression that
they are getting real paint, viz. pure
white lead and linseed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit the
inferior pigments, or mixtures OF
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
Let the label tell" and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished.
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-called white leads no one can
object; for they do it with their eyes
open. But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed Oil, they can
be sure of getting it, for none but
the genuine article can bear label
which says pure white lead"
In all other States mixtures are Of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little - sometimes no ~ real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question would be solved. 1t
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect US from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want

Results OF Excessive Coffee Drinking.

1t is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich. woman says: Il had been
using coffee since | was old enough to
have a cup of my own at the table,
and from it l have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
My trouble first began in the form
of bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. AT
every attack for s years | suffered in
this way. used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. l had
also attacks Of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh Of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
For about a year | lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering, l
finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. It agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
mo and | am fast gaining my health
under its use.
"No wonder ! condemn coffee and
tea. No one could be in much more
critical condition than / was from
the use Of coffee. Some doctors pro-
nounced it cancer, others liberation,
but none gave me any relief. But
since | stopped coffee and began Pos
tum am getting well so fast | can

MORE PULQUE BEING DRUNK.
Mexico City Gets Away With 100000
Ltres Every Day.

The consumption of pulque in Mex
leo city is rapidly increasing, and
the hauling of the drink is becoming
one of the principal sources of rev.
enue on a number of lines entering
the city.
On nearly every railroad entering
the city special pulque train is run
into the city daily and many of the
regular freight trains carry large
numbers of cars containing the popu-
lar drink
During the month of June three
railroads, the Hildago, the Mexican
and the Ihteroceanic, carried into the
city 59,SG1 barrels and 334 skins full
of the pulquc gathered within a radius
Of sixty miles of the city. The Ma
tional the Central and the smaller
lines brought in an amount probably
half as great.
Allowing that the population of
Mexico city is 100000 men, women
and children, the quantity of pulque
brought into the city daily is suf.

every Individual Do you drink your
share? During the month of June A..
9S5,29O liters Of pIlque were brought
into the city, as in one barrel there
are 250 liters and in one skin 60 liters,
During each day of the month an av'
erage of 74S,263 liters was brought to
the city,
The amount thus reckoned is ex,
elusive of the pulque brought to the
