Another Burglary.

Meyers meat market was Ell.
tered Tuesday night and about
$500 taken out Of the cash reg
lister. An entrance was gained
by the intruder cutting a hole
in the rear screen door, slipping
his hand through and unlocking
it, the main door being unlocked.
This is the second store that
has been entered in less than a
week, and there is danger of
some one coming to grief.

WORK.
Not withstanding all this versatility,
the old-time circui rider felt commits
stoned to do one work. Jesse Lee was
three years chaplain of the United
States Congress and resigned Because
some of the brethren thought It too
near an approach to secular work for
a man in the Office of a Methodist
preacher" Nor were there any pas
toral lines within which alone they
worked. Said Wesley to Rankin. Il
let you loose, George. on the great con-
tinent of America" The world was
their parish. and every soul they met,
big. little. old or young, rich or poor,
high or low, white, red or black, was
a brand to be plucked from the burning.
The modern pastor, on the contrary, is
not supposed to have any business
with anybody outside of his own peo-
pie. Nor were they overwhelmed by
the countless details of a passionate.
They were not tax-gatherers spending
one-fourth of their time collecting Con-
ference claims. And they did not have
to prepare two formal sermons for
wooden men and women who are too
much occupied with other thoughts and
things to apply the truth which he
tries to give them. An old Scotch wo-
Iate-cOmer who said, What! is the SER
mon done?" She replied. INA, ma, the
sermon is said; it is yet to be done"
But the sermon Is seldom done. And
they were not compelled to be pious
gadabouts bent on coddling the weak
and pampering the sensitive and self
important in the name of pastoral vis-
sting. It was not his TO build up Ia
church primarily. That was an after
result. The early history of Metho-
dism Is thrilling story of the saliva

against sin and glorious victories.

 Gas meters tested on complaint, 5. Found fast beyond law limit, f.
 Found fast within law limit, 2.
 Found slow, 2.
 The Illuminating and heating value of the gas was high during the month.

T. Us No hydrogen sulphide was found in the gas.
 The lowest gas pressure found dur ing the month was inches, which IS the lowest allowed by the law. The highest pressure was 6.6 inches. Ihe average daily low pressure was 3.4 inches and the average daily high pres sure was 5.6 inches. Yours respectfully,

TRIED TO FORCE IT. Thought System Would Soon Tolerate
 Coffee.

A Boston lady tried to convince herself that she could get used to ooffee and finally found it was the stronger. She writes:
 When a child, being delicate and ner- vous I was not allowed coffee. But since reaching womanhood I began it's use, and as the habit grew on me, I frequently endeavored to break myself of it, be- cause of its evident bad effects.
 With me the most noticeable effect of drinking coffee was palpitation of the heart. This was at times truly alarming, and my face would flush uncomfortably and maintain its vivid hue for some time
 q argued that my system would soon accustom itself to coffee, and continued to use it, although I had suspicion that 1t was, affecting my eyesight also. The kidneys early showed effects of cof- fee, as | found by leaving 1t off for a few days when the trouble abated.
 Finally a friend called my attention to Postum At first did not like it, but when made right--boiled 15 minutes until dark and rich-I soon found Postum was just what I wanted. No flushing of the face no palpitation, no discomfort or inconvenience after drinking it.
 "Of course all this was not-felt in a week or two weeks, but within that time I can truthfuly say marked difference had taken place and a great deal of my nervousness had vanished. "At present time my health is excellent, due to continued use of Postum with a general observance of proper hygiene. Of nothing am 1 more convinced than that if I had continued drinking coffee should be today little less than a ner- l vous wreck, and possibly blind" There's Reason" 1 Name given by the Postum Co.,, Battle | Creek, Mich.

case. The point involved in the case was whether the interstate commerce act is satisfied when intoxicating liquors have been delivered at the railroad depot of the city in which the consignee resides, or whether the goods must be delivered to the residence of the consignee before the act is satisfied
 Judge Feagin, who heard the transfer case in the police court, ruled against the defendant in the case, that the interstate commerce act was satisfied when the liquor was delivered at the depot and fined the driver, who was arrested while in the act of delivering a quantity of beer, $50
 The attorneys for the defendant imme- diately applied to Judge Jones for a tenn porary injunction until the case could be decided in a higher court, and the in- junction was granted.
