OLD SOAKERS
Get Saturated With Caffeine.

When person has used coffee for
a number of years and gradually de-
clined in health, it is time the coffee
should be left off in order to see
whether or not that has been the
cause of the trouble.
A lady in Huntsville, Ala, says she
used coffee for about 40 years, and
for the past 20 years has had severe
stomach trouble. Il have been treat
ed by many physicians but all in
vain. Everything failed to give re-
lief. Was Frustrated for some time,
and came near dying. When 1 re-
covered sufficiently to partake OF food
and drink tried coffee again and it
soured on my stomach.

the cause Of my troubles and stopped
using it. / tried tea In its place and
then milk but neither agreed with
me; then / commenced using Postum,

COMMERCIAL COLUMN
Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market ReDortS.

r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review
OF trade says:
Autumn retail trade broadens un-
der the stimulating influence OF
favorable weather, and collections
also improve. While reports are al
most unanimous regarding the salts
factory volume of retail distribution
of seaSonable goods, in other sections
Of commercial and industrial activity
there is some irregularity, attributed
in most cases to high rates for money,
which induces conservatism in prepa-
rations for the future. Yet leading
cities at the West and South find no
restriction in supplementary orders
at wholesale, and jobbers report that
new lines for springs are well re-
ceived.
Copper declined still lower. but
prices were steady in the leading
metal industry.
In the textile industries the event
of the week was the cut in prices by
a Chicago house. There was no evil
dence of weakness in cotton goods
prior to that reduction, which in
some lines amounted to 20 per cent,
and Eastern jobbers did not follow
the Western movement Produc-
ers in New England are all sold so
far ahead that there is no occasion
for concessions, yet the tone of the
entire industry was unsettled.

Another One

The eloquent lecturer was discours-
ing on the wonders Of nature.
Depressing for a moment he
said, did il ever occur to you that
there is not principle in mechanics,
not a single ingenious device i'm tho
application OF power, that has not
been anticipated in the marvellous
structure of the human body? Take
the familiar instance OF the cogwheel.
The first cogwheels, so to speak,
were the knuckles of the human
hand. Double your fists, put them
together in front Of you, with the
backs upward, placing each knuckle
of one fist in the depression between
two knuckles on the other fist. Hold
ing them slightly together in this
manner, oscilate them back and
forth, and you have the original
geared machinery that suggested the
cOgwheel. When you go home, boys,
place the knuckles Of your fists to-
gether in this same way, put them
under a heavy weight, and you will
find that by imparting cogwheel
motion to them you can lift $50
pounds with perfect ease"
When the boys went home they
tried it and found it wasn't true.
They had listened to another nature
faker.-Chicago Tribune.

Effect or Sun Baths.

of the most healthful things in the
world" said Evan T. Roberts, OF
Cincinnati, at the Tulane. Several
years ago 1 visited Germany, and
while there was taken down with
nervous prostration. l called in the
best specialists of Berlin. They told
me l needed more exercise, more
fresh air and more sunlight. The
first thing they made me do was to
take sun baths. l stripped and would
go out in the yard every morning
and lay for 40 minutes in the broil-
ing sun. 1t was not so hot, but felt
so to me, as 1 was unprotected
Well, sir, in a few days l began to
feel better. In three weeks L was
pronounced a well man. The sun
baths certainly did the trick for me- y

Rare And Peculiar Drugs.

A writer in Wissen fuer ALE
throws some interesting light on rare
and peculiar drugs. Saffron, he
points out, would strike an ordinary
observer as decidedly expensive at
$I3 a pound (to change marks into
our coinage), until told that it is
composed of the central small por-
lions only of the flowers of the GRO
Gus, 10000 OF which it takes to make
a pound. Altar of roses sells at SIP
odd per pound, and it takes 10000
pounds, or nearly five tons, of roses
to obtain one pound of the oil.
Aconitine, extracted from the root
of monkshood, is said to be the very
strongest poison eXtant, the dose be-
ing one-six hundredth of a grain.
1t is sold at the rate of sos per
ounce.
Turning from the vegetable to the
animal world in search of rare drugs,
the writer refers to the musk of the
Asiatic deer, which at $24 to $50
an ounce must be a prize to the
willy hunter In some of the tropical
seas, a floating, Sweet-Smelling mass
of ambergris is met with worth at
present $50 per ounce, or $3.50 per
pound in the market. The amber
girls is said to be the diseased hillary
product of the whale.
Another peculiar product in use
as a drug is solution of the pure
venom of the rattlesnake, given oc-
casionally in malignant scarlet fever;
while less strong, if perhaps hardly
| less repulsive, is powdered cockroach,
which, in six-grain doses, has been
prescribed, with good effect, it is
said, for dropsy.-Philadelph Rec

The school per capita, by State tax

place in the world. No other State

beneficent effect of this system is
seen in Central City, which receives
