Proposed Antitrust Law.

A bill has been introduced in tho
State senate to prohibit a corporation
selling It's products at a lower price in
n place than in another, in order to
drive out competition. 1t is sometimes
the case that a big corporation will in
struct its agents to undersell a small
and struggling competitor until it has
put its helpless competitor out of bust:
ness, and then to return 20 its old high
rates. The proposed measure seeks to
prohibit such practice as this.

Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot.
fee even after they know it Is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But 1t is an
easy matter to give 1t up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is properly
made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with headaches for
seven weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
"One day I asked her why she did
not give up coffee as a cousin of mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give 1t up.
Finally, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning
while she was drinking Postum SO
freely and with such relish / asked for
q taste.
That started me on Postum and I
now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"A girl friend Of mine, one day, saw
me drinking Postum and asked II II
was coffee. / told her it was Postum
and gave her some to take home, but
forgot to tell her how to make It.
THE next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. I found
she had made 1t like ordinary coffee.
So / told her how to make it right
and gave her a cupful I made, aft.r
boiling it fifteen minutes. She said
b never drank any coffee that tasted
as good, and now coffee is banished
from both u homes" Name given

Unrestrained opportunity to ex-
press views on the immigration Ques-
ton was afforded members of the
house by the decision to take up and
consider q bill apprOpriating S25O,O0C
for an immigration station in Phlla-
delphia, and so many took advantage
of it that the code of laws bill, which
the managers of the house had planned
to take up, was sidetracked for the
day. The discussion of the immigra-
ton station bill opened up the whole
subject of immigration and excited
the interest of the whole house. The
debate was notable in that it was in
dulged In largely by members serving
their first terms and who found in
the bill a chance to make their maiden
efforts at speech-making on the floor
of the house. The entire session was
devoted to a consideration of the bill

the house adjourned.

PEACE REIGNs AT A. AND M.
President Hardy Sustained by the
Board Of Trustees.

PRESIDENT Hardy Sustained by the
Board of Trustees.
Three hundred students OF the A.
and NJ. college at Starkville left that
institution because Of dissatisfaction
with the condition of the mess hall.
The board Of trustees, after an inves.
tigation OF the matter, passed the fol.
lowing order:
"First-That the action of the presi.
dent, j. c. Hardy, in removing Capt.
Welhorn from the position of command
n OF said college is approved.
ut is further the opinion of the
board that the interests of the college
demand that Capt. Weltorn's connec-
ton with the college cease at the
earliest possible date.
"Second-That while we think the
action Of the president in dismissing
from the faculty DR.. L. w. Crigler was
rather hasty, and not altogether justi-
fed by the facts adduced before the
board, touching the conduct Of DIR.
Crigler, before such dismissal. But
subsequent to the dismissal, while still
on the campus, awaiting a review of
his case by the board of trustees, it is
shown by the doctors own admission
that he called upon the senior class
and expressed his approval of their de-
termination to leave the college, thus
placing himself in open antagonism to
the proper discipline of the college. 1t
is the opinion of the board that his fur
Their connection with the college as
physician would be hurtful to the same.
"Third-The president having been
informed of the approval OF his action
in relieving Capt. Welborn and in re-
moving DR.. Crigler, came before the
board, on his own accord, and stated
that he had reirstated e. r. Blanton,
which the board heartily approves.
The committee of the senior class being
present, expressed their qualification at
the action OF the president in reinstat-
ing Mr.. Blanton. and promised the
board, with their classmates who had
gone home, to return at once to the COL
and resume their work.
"Fourth-The board recognizes tho
that the mess hall management
has been one of the weak points about
the college, and the unsanitary condi-
lion of the old house renders it impos-
'ible to make it as it should be, still it
susceptible of being greatly inn

A party of tourists was being shown
around Ciudad Juarez, the little Next

delighted with its picturesqueness,
and in particular a maiden lady, who
went into raptures about each new

Drink and Employment.


More and more the idea is becoming
effective that the man who drinks
cannot be trusted in a responsible po-
sition. 1t is spreading among indi-
vidual employers and among firms
and corporations, and more and more
the test Of sobriety, or rather of total
abstinence, is applied.
In the case Of workers on steel
structures the test is even more severe,
for they are not only forbidden to use
alcoholic drink, but, in order 10 keep
their nerves steady, are required to
refrain from heavy eating. A large
coal company in Pittsburg recently
announced that miners who drink
will be discharged, because disasters
in mines have been caused by careless.
ness or incompetence, which in turn
has been caused by drink.
Never was there such high sense
as today of the personal responsibility
of the individual man, and never
such practical, scientific knowledge of
the dependence of trustworthinees on
a sane bodYa and mind. Business,
which ia said to be sordid, is becom.
ing the chief advocate Of temperance.
Many higher things are at issue in
the liquor problem than days wages
and capacity for labor, but the ideal.
ist sees that the strongest argument
in world of workers is the simple
one: "You cannot afford it."
