DROPPED COFFEE. Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on POstum.

A physician of Wash, D. C., says of his coffee experience:
 For years suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes l was almost frantic. l was sallow, consti- pated, irritable, sleepless; my memory was poor, l trembled and my thoughts were often confused.
 My wife, In her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. l tried many times to do so, but was it's slave.
 Finally Wife bought package of Postum and persuaded me to try It.. but she made 1t same as ordinary cof- fee and 1 was dlsgusted with the taste. CT make this emphatic because l fear many others have had the same ex- perience.) She was distress at her failure and we carefully read the di- rections, made it right boiled it full IS minutes after boiling commenced. and with good cream and sugar, [ liked it---it invigorated and seemed to nourish me.
 That was about year ago. Now I have no headaches, am rot sallow, sleeplessncss and irritablllty are gone, my brain clear and my hand steady. l have gained 20 lbs. and feel 1 am a new man.
 "I do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping cof- fee was the main thing, but l had dropped 1t before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose.
 "Postum not only seemed to act as an nvigorant, but as an article of nourshment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substantial ed by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70.
 'I write this for the information and encouragement of others, and with feeling of gratitude to the in- ventor of Postum."

 To the Editor of the Journal Courier
 l hope you will keep hammering on the gubernatorial situation. l hope you get encouragement and co-oper- alton from strong and influential sources l hope that you and other editors of the state may be able to shape and to crystallze a movement that will send Governor Woodruff back to the chief executives chair, when the time for such action comes l believe that quite a lot of us sick andtired of-the situation people are advancing steadily toward the fighting and firing line. We need marshals for the shattered forces. A goodly number of citizens have been passive partlsans, for some years, because we couldn't stomach the repulsive tactics of impudent party leaders. We have voted our tickets, or such portion as were fit to vote We have kept out of efforts to correct abuses, because l tlbuStS Sotllltu lp bt oli llit iili pHN' Local trading and bargaining and trifling with the right and privilege of franchise is bad enough, but to think of our beloved commonwealth being subjected year after year to this abominable political chicanery, sim ply makes the blood of patriot boil. Now when political manlpulators be- come so bold as to dehantly Haunt their pre-arranged bargains in the face of the voting people, 1t seems to me 1t Is high time for the people to get together and down this thing. l have scarcely any acquaintance with any of the men talked of for gover- nor, unless 1t be newspaper ac- qualntanee. But Governor Woodruff acts and talks like a patriot. He ap- | pears to place the peoples Interests first Party and self interest second. He is like Roosevelt and Taft and Hughes in this sense. The people of l this state who think straight are cry Ing out for such governor Are there enough people who care and think about the future honor and ln- tcgrlty of this commonwealth to elect him?

Mr.. Chambers crossed the plains

the tear-drop in many an eye afford
ed eloquent tribute to the memory of
a worthy man in all the relations of

and indulgcnt father and an upright
citizen. AS illustrating his strict
sense of justice it is related that
while serving in subordinate COM

them from foraging in the enemy's
country, and the volunteers helped
themselves to several fine horses on
their line of march. Protests I'M

officer, reported the transaction and
declined any further detail of service

THERE is one American titled bride
and we believe the only one-who
merits and receives the heartfelt
sympathy of her people in the loss of
a worthy husband, and that is the
Duchess of Chaulnes, late Miss The
dora Shonts, youngest daughter of
Theodore p. Shonts, of New York,
who was married to the Duke Feb.
10th Of this year. 1t seems the Duke
had been a sufferer from a weak heart
for years, and had for some time been
subject to fainting spells. His death
came, however, unexpectedly. With
his wife he had just come from drive
in the Bots Bolognc, and were about
to retire, when he suddenly gasped
for breath and lost consciousness.
He died before a doctor could be sum-
moned. The wife's father was mott
fed by cable of his daughter be-
reavement, and left by the first steam
err for France.

ING. A few days ago, man named
Henry Harrison. but better known
as the Human Ostrich, died in
Seattle. from having swallowed nail
bent like a fish-hoOk, without curling
the point under the head, as usual
when he included pointed articles in
his demonstration diet. \ past mor-

stomach one horseshoe nail. eleven
knife-blades. five lath-nailS, six small
screws and three tacks. Harrison
was Hebrew, 80 years old, and SAID
that he had been following the " HUI
man Ostrich business for nearly
twenty years. that during that time
he has worked on an average of 100
days year. and that this is the
first time he has ever had any trou-
ble with his stomach as the result of
swallowing tackS, screws, horseshoe
nails. knife blades, and various other
articles of the hardware variety.
During his career on the vaudeville
stage he said he had swallowed at
least 100 knife blades, but that he
never kept any account of the nails,
tacks, screws and other small arti-

OUR FRUIT YIELDS. Prof. W. S.
Thornbur, Professor of Horticulture
in the Washington State College at
Pullman, lately said: " Full crops OF
fruits from the orchards that are now
planted in the State will yield from
$40, 900. 600 to $50, 900, 900, and if we
continue to plant. it is only ques-
ton of time when Washington will be
the greatest fruit-producing district
in the world" This is startling but
truthful language. Our State has
nearly 100, 900 acres of orchard fruits
and enough trees have been sold to
increase it 10000 this year. At the
same rate of advancement the acre
age will be doubled in five years. He
refers to the wonderful yield of 81 800
in apples from a single acre, near
Spokane, and of 81 ,651 from dew
berries grown on a like area irriga-
ed land. A third of an acre yielded
5000 in the Spring and 800 in the
Fall, making an aggregate of $500
per acre. Nor are these yield eXcep-
tional where reasonable care is taken
in cultivation.

Our Temperance Lecture

Our Temperance Lecture.
Another Chicago educational light
beams benignantly on a subject
which most drinkers will think
he knows very little about, when he
says a beer can be produced that
contains no alcohol. 1t is Doctor J.
+ Sccb,r dean OF the Chicago Zymo-
technic Institute. Why bless your
soul. Professor alcohol is a king
whose scepter Swavs the love for all
companionable beverages. Although
its presence is 50 small in beer that a
drinker can very easily control the
use OF it. and may not without de-
liberation drink enough to make him
intoxicated. it is undoubtedly true
that the eXhiieration which ardent
or malt liquors produce, are the in
centive for use. 1t is only con-
firmed topper who can drink the
former without racer, swallowed
while making a rye face over the
fiery fluid; even with beer, a taste
has to be acquired, by prolonged use
before a sigh of satisfaction follows
ON swallowing the foaming cliney"
or tall "grossen."
If it were not that this element,
is wanting in lemonade. while it
may give its color in the cup, or
the evervescent fizz, which comes
FROM the fount with seemingly
enough buster for a dozen "jags,
they might be as popular as the So
called hard drinks. But this they
can never be. without some special
adaptation that may give them an
attraction over pure cold water,
which is supplied by nature in the
proper form to quench thirst.
The STANDARD honestly believes
that beer is temperance drink. The
proportion of alcohol it contains is
so small that it can be truly said
that it cheers but not inebriates. >
The Germans are q nation of beer
drinkers, but is not as noted for
inebriation as others just as noted
for use of ardent liquors-the pro-
ducts of the still. The craving for
some stimulant, whether hereditary
or inherent, is almost, if not quite,
universal, and what is so common
must surely be an instructive inclina-
ton to aid or reinforce some want
of Nature.
1t has often been said that it is
not the use, but the abuse of liquor,
that should be condemned. Even
radical temperance lecturers, some
who use their brains to think with,
admit that to be fact; but it is as
readily admitted that with the fiery
draughts, moderate use, even with
professedly moderate drinkers, is
often impracticable, so long as the
convivial habits are supported by the
delights of social intercourse. A
very few such drinks makes the
individual reckless and oblivious of
consequences, and he impairs health
pocket and self-respect by a speedy
debauch. This cannot be said of
beer, and by beer we mean true beer;
that which supplies a natural crav-
ing, and without the almost newt
able results of attending the use Of
whisky, brandy, gin, and some wines
and cordials, that contain a large
proportion of alcohol. In this view
we are supported by statistics which
show that as the malt product has
largely supplanted the use of distilled
or vinous fermented liquors as q bev-
erage, the use of the latter has de-
creased, within an equal limit of
population.

Braunfels, which arrived this month
from Calcutta, at Philadelphia, car
ried as part of her cargo, 400 mon
keys, which were confined tween
decks. On the voyage, pet baboon,
mascot for the ship, contrived to
liberate the monkeys, which swarmed
over the ship, taking to the rigging
in which they were perfectly at home
in climbing, and at once developed
the usual monkey instinct of hurting
everything detachable at the crew.
This went on for some time, until
the captain thought of an expedient
whereby the incident passed without
the serious results that threatened
management of the vessel. He
mixed quantity of strong brandy
with molasses and placed it in pans
upon the deck. Very soon some of
the more venturesome came down
and sampled the repast prepared for
them. Their report seemed to be
favorable for very soon string of
monkeys were fighting each other

prisonment, to sleep off the effects of

The success that has followed scien-

A SOLUTION THAT IS CLAIMED TO
BE DEATH TO THE TOREDO.-Charles
Shalberger. of Tacoma, it is claimed
has discovered a coating for piles
that will preserve them from the
ravages of the toredo. He has tried
it on wood subject to all the condi-
tiOns of the ordinary pile for over
three years without the slightest
evidence Of any attack from the
marine worm, and he feels quite sure
that it will protect indefinitely. The
trial was made in waters that seemed
to be special field for the toredo

it is one of the greatest boons con-
