LIVING ADVERTISEMENT Glow of Health Speaks for Postum.

It requires no scientific training to discover whether coffee disagrees or not.
 Simply stop it for time and use Postum in place of it, then note the beneficial effects. The truth will appear.
 "Six years ago I was in a very bad condition" writes Tenn. lady, T suf- fered from indigestion, nervousness and insomnia.
 q was then an inveterate coffee drinker, but it was long before could be persuaded that it was coffee that hurt me. Finally I decided to leave 1t off few days and find out the truth.
 "The first morning l left of coffee had a raging headache, so l decided ! must have something to take the place of coffee" (The headache was caused by the reaction of the coffee drug caffeine)
 Having heard of Postum through . friend who used it. bought package and tried it. I did not like 1t at first but after I learned how to make 1t right, according to directions on pkg. I would not change back to coffee for anything.
 When I began to use Postum ! weighed only IF lbs. Now l weigh ITO and as have not taken any tonic in that time I can only attribute my recovery of good health to the use of Postum in place of coffee.
 My husband says I am living ad- vertisement for Postum. l am glad to be the means of inducing my many friends to use Postum, too"

Blind Man for a Foreman.

What good is done for the blind boys at the Arkansas School for the Blind is shown by the fact that Su- perintendent Lucas returned to Little Rock | thursday from Aorrilton, where he went with Oscar McEimurry of Car. roll county, one of the inmates of the school, who will be foreman of the broom factory to be established there.
 He learned the trade at the school in Little Rock and although blind will be put in charge of other men who are not disabled, so efficient is he in his work.

 Charley Napier, q negro laborer, who claims his residence is in Ten nessee, obtained a verdict Saturday in the federal court before a jury against Jules Austin and Nose Smith for S525 He sued for $10,000 on the allegation that he was shot at, hit across the back with singletree, placed in the calaboose at Newport and given a flashing with leather strap.
 When the suit went to trial the de- fendants were Jules Austin, Carl Jackson, Whitley Jackson, John B. Hol- loway, Willis Cain and Nose Smith. The jury was instructed by Judge Trieber that the plaintiff had failed to connect John B. Holloway and Will lis Cain with the transaction alleged and the jury also determined for it. self that Carl Jackson and Whlley Jackson had not been connected.
 The defense in part was that Napier had been arrested for an assault and battery, that he hd been confined in the calaboose and that he had agreed to take whipping rather than go to tril on the offense alleged.

What Opium Really Is

You hear a good deal about the
habit the Chinese have OF smoking
opium, but do you know exactly what
opium is2
1t is nothing bat the dried juice Of
the white poppy, flower that grows
wild in many parts of Asia and is also
cultivated there. A few days after
the flowers have fallen off the plants
men go through the fields, in the sf.
ternoon, and make little cuts in the
poppy head. Out Of these cuts milky
juice oozes, which dries into a brown,
sticky paste. Every morning the men
go through the fields again and scrape
off this paste, which they put into
jars Later on it is made into half
pound balls and then packed for ship
ment. In China it is most used for
smoking. either with tobacco or pure.
In THE country and in Europe it is
used chiefly for making laudanum and
paregoric.
Laudanun is nothing but opium
dissolved in alcohol f; paregoric is a
mixture Of opium, camphor, alcohol,
honey aud some other things. OF
course, you know that opium quiets
the nerves and allays pain, and there
fore it is valuable drug, but it is al.
so a very dangerous one, aud should
never be touched except as ordered or
used by physician.

How Uncle Sam Levies Taxes.

One striking feature Of the internal
revenue laws is that they never look
to quality or value, but always to
quantity. The tax on 1000 cigars is
three dollars, no matter whether they
are "Pittsburg stogies'' or the Key
West brand whose price is, say, TWEEN.
ty-6ve cents each. The tar on
"Pittsburg stogis" is about one fifth
of the retail value; il is less than one
eightieth the value of the Key West
cigar. The country plowboy who
comes to town Saturday afternoon and
invests FIVE cents in a package con-
tanning three "old Virginia Oheroots."
pays as much into the treasury as does
the fellow who buys three cigars for q
dollar. The tar on the cheapest
twist tobacco" is siI cents on the
pound it is the same on the best
grade Of 6ne-cut. II is about one.
third the retail value OF the fne-cut.
On a barrel of common beer
worth four dollars the tar is one dol.
lar on barrel of the best ale, porter
or beer worth twelve dollars the tar
is still four dollars. The man who
buys a quart Of Georgia corn whiskey
for fifty cents pays twenty-five aud
One-hslf cents for the whiskey and
twentY-seven and one-hAlf cents tax.
A quart of ht.year.old Kentucky
Bourbon, worth at retail one dollar
and half, has paid but twenty.seven
and one-hslf cents tax. the value Of
the goods over and above the tax.
The negro frequenter Of the New Or
leans "hOnky tOnk" pays as much tar
to the government in the purchase
price u the "oooze consumed by him
in night Of wild debauch as does the
swellest New York millionaire in an
evening spent at his club.
"Pale death enters with impartial
step the cottages Of the poor and the
palaces of the rich |" Likewise the
internal revenue tax. .gstherer, equally
as death, makes his demands on the
rich and poor. But he comes in such
a way that he is not recognized, and
not one time in every million does the
man who bears the burden OF the tar
know when he is paying il.
