A grocer has excellent opportunity
on his customers. A Cleveland
grocer has a long list Of customers
that have been helped in health BY
leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
He says, regarding his own expe-
rience: 1.-TWO years ago I had been
drinking coffee, and must say that I
was almost wrecked in my nerves.
Particularly in the morning ! was
so irritable and upset that / could
hardly wait until the coffee was
served. and then / had no appetite for
breakfast, and did not feel like at
tending to my store duties.
"One day my wife suggested that
inasmuch as / was selling so much
| Postum there must be some merit in
it and suggested that we try 1t. I
took home a package and she pre-
pared 1t according to directions. The
result was a very happy one. My
nervousness gradually disappeared, and
today / am all right. l would advise
everyone afflicted in any way with
nervousness or stomach troubles, to
leave off coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee" There's a Reason" Read

 The following appropriations were dis allowed and the Indian schools to which they were applied were discontinued:
 Point Lewis school, Colorado, s4SSO0; Carson school, Nevada, $5S, 400.
 A reduction of s150,OOO was made in the estimate for schools for the five civilized tribes for which $300,O 900 was asked. the inauguration of a policy decided upon by the committee and the commissioner of Indian affairs to do away with all non- reservation schools in the United States. Pursuant to this end there was placed in the bill by the committee a clause author izing the commissioner of Indian affairs to find out what states will accept the plants of non-reservation schools with the agreement to hereafter conduct them as educational institutions to which Indians shall be admitted as on a par with white children.
 The committee so amended the law that restrictions upon individual Indians of the five civilized tribes may be removed by the Secretary of the Interior upon a showing of competency. A clause was inserted in the bill providing for irriga- tion on several reservations, also a pro- viision appropriating S5000 to begin under the supervision of the Secretary of Az riculture experiments with soils of Indian reservations to determine what products may be best raised thereon.

TWOBROXTONMEN ARRESTED AND
 BROUGHT HERE
CHEATING AND sWiNDLlNG IS CHARGED AGAINST M. SPVEY AND T. j. M'covERN BY AT LANTA FIRM.

What is said to be practice that wholesale dealers throughout Georgia need, particularly at present. to be warned against is charged to M. Spivey and T. J. McGoyern, retail merchants of Broxton, who were arrested and brought before Justice of the Peace Kingsberry Friday morning charged by the M. c. Riser company of Atlanta with cheating and swindling. The two men were bound over by Judge Kings berry to the city criminal court of At lanta under bond of 5000 each.
 According to their prosecutors, Spivey and McGovern, who do business under the firm name of Spivey & McGovern, filed with the M. c. Riser company last August a written statement as to their assets and liabilities on the strength of which they secured credit to the amount of $700. When the bill fell due and the company sent to Broxton to collect it, their agent found, 1t is alleged, that the real estate which Spivey & Mo Govern had claimed to own had been transferred some time before they had made their written statement. It was a'so discovered, according to the charges, that Spivey & McGovern owed twice as much as they had represented On these allegations a warrant for the arrest of both members of the Broxton firm was sworn out before Justics Kingsberry last Monday, and on Friday Officer Fitzpatrick reached AL lanta with his prisoners.
 It is said that the practice of mis- representing their assets and liabilities is growing common among certain class of merchants. and for that req son the Riser company intends to pros ecute the case in the interests of their own and other peoples business.
