COFFEE COMPLEXION
Many Ladies Have Poor Complex
ions From Coffee.

"Coffee caused dark colored
blotches on my face and body. I
had been drinking it for long while
and these blotches gradually ap-
peared, until finally they became per-
manent and were about as dark as
coffee itself.
'I formerly had as fine complex
ion as one could ask for.
when I became convinced that
coffee was the cause of my trouble,
I changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as I made It well,
according to directions, / liked it
very much, and have since that time
used it in place of coffee.
II am thankful to say am not
nervous any more, as was when
was drinking coffee, and my COM
pIexion is now as fair and good as
it was years ago. 1t Is very plain
that coffee caused the trouble.
Most bad complexions are caused
by some dtstur bance Of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber
of digestion known. Almost any wo-
man can have a fair complexion It
she will leave off coffee and use Pos
tum Food Coffee and nutritious,
healthy food in proper quantity.
Postum furnishes certain elements
from the natural grains from the
field that Nature uses to rebuild the
nervous system and when that Is In
good condition, one can depend upon
a good complexion as we'll as good
healthy body. There's Reason.

GIRLS STORY IMPROBABLE.
Judge Deals Heavy Blow to Prosecu'
tion in Lovird Case.

The taking OF testimony in the case
of Judge William G. Loving at Hous'
ton, Va, on trial for the murder OF
Theodore Estes, in Nelson county, on
April %, was concluded at o'clock
Thursday afternoon. The court I'D.
journed until 10 o'clock Friday. The
rapidity with which the trial has pro-
gressed has been most surprising to
ell concerned.
The day developed a most import
ant turning in the case, when Judge
Barksdale rendered an opinion, con-
cerning the admissibility of certain ev.
idence, the decision dealing a heavy
blow to the prosecution. Attorney Har'
mon, for the prosecution, announced
his intention to call witnesses to show
that the story told by Miss Elizabeth
Loving to her father that she was
drugged and assaulted by Theodore
Estes was fabrication and that Estes
never offered an indignity to the girl,
even suggesting that there might be
another motive back Of the killing. The
defense objected on the ground that
such testimony had no bearing on the
case and whether true or false had
nothing to do with the question OF
Judge Loving's state Of mind at the
time Of the tragedy.
Judge Barksdale, in a lengthy opin'
ion, sustained the contention OF the
defense, and among the cases he cited
as precedents was the Thaw trial in
New York.
Judge Barksdale ruled that the char
acter of the girl or the character OF
the man who was killed was not the
issue and the truth or falsity of her
story had no bearing on the case.

the part they played. Some have
figured in mans attire in both the
army and the navy, and for all whose
identity became disclosed there were
doubtless many others who preserved
the secret of their sex, despite the
proverbial tendency of feminine mem
bers of society to make known the
facts which should be most sedulous-
) ly concealed.
IS OF the American women who have
taken part in warlike scenes, none is
more widely known than "Mollle
Pitcher" the heroine of Monmouth.
This battle was one of the important
conflicts of the Revolution, and was
fought in the summer of ITS, when
the British troops, retreating from
Philadelphia, were oyertaken and at
tackled in New Jersey by the Cont
mental forces under Washington. AL
though no decisive result occurred
from the battle, the fact that the
American forces were not repulsed
by the foreign foe gave heart to the
.solonies to continue the efforts be-
gun two years before, and which were
4 to last five years longer before sue
cess was attained. In the troops
from Pennsylvania was John Hays,
q gunner in the First Artillery, Con-
sftinental line. He had been accom-
panied by his wife when the troops
4 to which he belonged had been sent
. to the field, and she busted herself in
doing laundry work for the officers.
On that July day, when the fight
ragged on the New Jersey plain, the
thermometer standing at ninety-slx
degrees in the shade, Mrs. Mary Hays
busted herself in carrying water in
pitcher from spring to the hot and
wearied troops. Heres Molly with
the pitcher" was frequently heard
from the thirsty Continentals, and
finally it was abbreviated to Here,
Molly Pitcher" and the sobriquet was
permanently substituted for her real
S name when she displayed gallantry
and heroism which surpassed her linn
itations of Sex.
The company in which Hays was
fighting and in which he was a ram
mer was stationed on rising ground
I between the brigades commanded by
LIVINGSTON and Varnum. In a dash
by British cavalry and infantry Hays
was shot down, but not killed, and a
call was made for some one to NIL
his place. No man appeared, but his
wife, dropping the pitcher, picked up
the rammer which her husband had
held, and said she would avenge him.
she served with the smoking cannon
throughout the rest of the battle, and
her courage was commended by the
seasoned troops. The next day the
brave woman. with her garments
still soiled with the smoke of battle,
was summoned by General Greene,
who took her to Washington, by
whom her gallantry was praised and
who gave her commission as a SER
geant, under which she wore cooked
hat ard the insignia of her rank.
After her husbands, death she con-
4inued to serve in the army, and she
was finally placed in the list Of half
Epay officers.
4 molly Pitcher" was born at Car
e1isle, Pa, in October, 1744. Her
maiden name was Mary Ludwig, and
her father came to this country from
Germany. She was employed as a
servant in the family of General Will
lam Irvine, in Carlisle, and there IN
1853 she married John Hays, VINO

THE Igor question is a Promin-
ent figure in the public mind, and
the opinions pro and con make in
teresting leading. We believe IN
high license as a means OF CONTROL
and this belief is shared by others.
The Star of Wilmington said last
Sunday;
We believe in the principle OF
local option-the right Of the ma
ioritv of any community to rule.
To deny this principle would be to
dispute the doctrine Of democracy;
but while local option is right in
principle, the remedy usually re-
sorted to in applying the power
granted under the local option
theoav is inhective. In other words
prohibition does not prohibit. On
the contrary, it has been demon
strated over and over again. that
the attempt to apply the remedy OF
prohibition only aggravates the
evil against which it is directed.
This is an not an argument for the
liquor traffic; it is an argument Tor
common sense. The liquor traffic
is an evil. The experience Of man
kind has shown that it cannot be
suppressed. This being conceded
as it must be unless we are going
to ignore the plain facts-then the
next thing to do is to regulate the
liquor traffic. How best to accom-
plish this purpose is the problem to
be solved. Local option clamor, as

local option is popularity understood

oct us further away from the an
swer to this ever urgent question
Our own opinion is that education
in our public schools and in our
homes as to the ill-effects of alco-
hol as a beverage, is the only true
solution of the problem. The pro
gress already made in this way IS
encouraging, but not practically
conclusive. It may take some time
to reach the desired result by edu-
cation, but as we have been a long
time getting nowhere by legislative
methods, it might be worth while
to give knowledge, and moral sau-
sion based upon that knowledge
a more thorough trial.
Bv all means, let us have local
option-that is the option OF the
people of any locality to say what
shall be done in that locality about
the sale of liquor; but when that
option is secured we urge that some
other remedy than prohibition be
tried. For wherever prohibition
has been restored to it has proved
a failure. It makes hypOcrites and
law-breakers of men, without IN
the least abating the curse OF drink,
and bv thus weakening the moral
fibre of the victims makes theis
last state more deplorable than
their first.
