COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great Western
State puts the case regarding stimu-
lants with a comprehensive brevity
that is admirable. He says:
81 am Sc years old and have had
considerable experience with stimu-
lants. They are all alike-a mortgage
on reserved energy at ruinous inter-
est. AS the whip stimulates but does
not strengthen the horse. so do slim
ulants act upon the human system.
Feeling this way, I gave up coffee
and all other stimulants and began
the use of Postum Food coffee some
months ago. The beneficial results
have been apparent from the first.
The rheumatism that used to suffer
from has left me, I sleep sounder,
nv nerves are steadier and my brain
clearer. And I bear testimony also
to the food value of Postum some
thing that is lacking in coffee" Name

Utopian Conditions In Little Swiss
Village Due to Cooperative
Earmino

Farming.
A correspondent has discovered
modern Utopia, where the fortunate
natives are so rich that they some
times do not know what to do with
their wealth. Yet many of them live
sumptuously on about $40 year. The
happy place is little village of Mar
chessi, at the foot of the Jura Noun
tains, in Switzerland
The villagers number about 15O.
A majority of them own their own
houses and farms. They do not pay
any local rates or taxes. In addition
to what their farms produce the vii
layers receive free wood, cheese, milk
and butter, and sometimes meat and
wine, which are practically forced
upon them.
The explanation of this condition OF
affairs is that the village community
by wise investment and shrewd busi-
ness methods has acquired the owner
ship of large tracts of titled land,
forests. herds of cattle and hogs and
foc!ls of poultry The produce, after
being carefully weighed and checked,
is apportioned by the elected author
tiles of the, village and conveyed to
the doors of the villagers, who there
after have the disposal of their re-
spective shares.
Most of the hard work of the farms
and fields is done by paid outsiders,
who. although they get fair terms, do
not share in the utopian conditions OF
their employers.-London correspon.

INDEBTEDNESS OF CITIES.

In Excess Of That Of National and
State Governments Combined.
The report OF Director North OF the
Census Bureau In regard to the finan-
ces OF cities OF 5000 inhabitants and
over says:
"The importance ct municipal stat
istics may be noted from the follow
ing facts: The Indebtedness, less
sinking fund assets, of the 148 cities
containing over 10000 inhabitants in
1893 was s1,1O6,821,6 51 and of the Isl
cities in 1904 was $1,222s,216,s33. The

classes of cities In 1903 was $780,

with other facts relating to the in

"The payments and receipts OF

those of the United States Govern

In Warm Defense Of Senator SmOOt'S

Yet Law Is VIOLATED
He Believes The LatteF-Day PO!yeamiStS
Should Receive Extreme Punish
ment, But Finds No Evidence
10 Convict the Senator

Washington, d. G., Jan. p. -
Expressing his conviction, that be-
yond doubt, polygamous mar
riages have been performed since
= the manifesto granting the
existence of popular belief i'll the
guilt of Reed Snoot, and declaring
that if he (Reed Smoob recognizes
auy other power than the United
States III his personal aud religious
relations he should be unseated,
Senator Sutherland of Utah made
a mastery speech today in defense
of his colleague 5 right to seat i'll
the United States Senate. The
galleries were crowded, and Sena-
tor Sutherland 5 speech was listened
to attentively.
" If Smoot is a violator of the
law the Senator said, either as
principal or accessory, or if, by
reason of his conduct he is so mo-
rally unfit that his continued pres
ence in the Senate would bring
reproach or shame upon this body,
he should not retain his seat,
otherwise he should. "
AS to the charge that there have
been polygamous marriages since
1.-The manifesto Senator Suther-
land said lie had no means of
knowing how many such cases
there might have been, but that
there had been some he had no
doubt
These men, the Senator added,
occupied wholly different posi-
ton from the old Mormon polyg-
amists. For them no word of eX-
cuse or toleration could be uttered
by any honest man. Every one of
them, he declared, who thus arro-
gantly dehed the law and violated
religious command by his conduct
brought shame and reproaeh upon
all the people, and they deserve to
be searched out and to receive i'll
punishment the extreme penalty,
With this prelude, Senator Su-
therland proceeded to show that no
evidence was at hand to convict
Smoot of polygamous practices, but
that the case against him was based
upon prejudice.
