BAD DREAMS
Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking.

One of the common symptoms of
coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that
spoil what should be restful sleep. A
man who found the reason says:
Formerly was slave to coffee. l
was like morphine fiend, could not
sleep at night, would roll and toss in
my bed and when l did get to sleep
was disturbed by dreams and hobgob-
Inns, would wake up with headaches

ing looked like bird tracks, had sour
belchings from the stomach, indiges-
ton, heartburn and palpitation Of the
heart, constipation, irregularity of the
kidneys, etc.
Indeed, began to feel had all the
troubles that human flesh could suffer,
but when friend advised me to leave
off coffee / felt as II he had insulted
me. / could not bear the idea, 1t had
such a hold on me and I refused to
believe it the cause.
But 1t turned out that no advice was

Women at the Bradley Trial.

II is to be hoped that wh=n the court
opens Monday fos the resumption of
tn Bradley trial steps will be promptly
taken to exclude from the courtroom the
women who have been scramblng for
STATS there. The scenes resented during
the first days of the trial have been of a
character to shock the sensibilities of the
community. 1t Is we'll known that the
testimony in this trial will be of a sensa-
tional and at times unprintable character.
examination of witnesses which the news
papers. out OF regard for the public de-
cency. have refrained from publishing in
full, although compelled, in order to offer
an outline OF the case, to indicate the
character of these matters. The under
standing that the testimony would be of
this nature has apparently only served
to whet the morbid. unwholesome curios-
ity of a large number of people. and the
presence of women at the trial from day
to day has indicated that the drawing
power of the offensive and the shocking
has a peculiar influence upon them.
In other cities when cases of a similar
character have been on trial and the testi-
mony has been of the same nature, the
courts have occasionally. though not often
enough for the public good, ordered the
exclusion of women from the si:ene. This
should be done here. if only I'd spare the
city the spectacle of the daily pressure
for seats by those who should be the last
to desire to listen to the distressing and
even disgusting details of the tragedy
which is being now disclosed in all its
offensive and shocking circumstances.
There is nothing elevasing about the case,
nothing helpful. save as the drama viewed
in its broadest aspects may serve as a
solemn warning that vertically the wages
of sin is death.

publics have spoken in a vein indicative
of sincere desire to secure substantial
basis of agreement, which will permit
the erection of a stable structure. The
great desideratum IS the devising OF a
system OF adjusting differences, so that
the chances of war may be reduced to
a small minimum. Absolute good faith
must form the first course of the fOunda-

good faith is good investment, where

Of course in these negotiations, with
many interests at stake, with many in

there will be difficulty in securing the ad-

maximum of benefit to all and involve
the minimum loss of power or prestige to

of possessing the largest foreign inter
