Learned to Drink Coffee When
Baby.
If parents realized the fact that COZ
fee contains a drug-caffeine-which
is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was a child in my mothers
arms and first began to nibble things at
the table, mother used to give me sips
of coffee As my parents used coffee
exclusively at meals I never knew there
was anything to drink but coffee and
water.
And so l contracted the coffee habit
gearly. I remember when quite young,
the continual use Of coffee SO affected
nv parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and then
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard Of ;
I continued to use coffee until was 27,
and when l got into Office work, I be-
gan to have nervous spells. Especially
after breakfast 1 was so nervous l
could scarcely attend to my correspond
ence.
"At night, after having coffee for
supper, l could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"A friend persuaded me to try Post
UNI. My wife and I did not like 1t at
first, but later when boiled good and
strong it was fne. Now we would not
give up Postum for the best coffee we
ever tasted.

Smith is 81 years of age and has an
otficeholding record of fifty years in this
country, fifteen years of which, with the
exception of one term. was spent in the
mayors office. At one time he was a
very wealthy man, but the failure of
bank of which he was an officer led him
to voluntarily dispose of all his property
to make the loss of depostors as small as
possible. 1t was only a short time ago
that he cleared up the last of his debts
and he would have left the mayors office
penniless had it not been for today's con-
tribution of the business men.

Mining Regulations Should Be Uniform.

Mining Regulations Should Be Uniform.
A Pennsylvania representative has
presented to Congress a startling COM
pilation of casualty statistics in sup
port of argument for the allowance of
$150,000 for a scientific investigation of
mine disasters. He shows that the
number of fatal mine disasters rose in
the bituminous districts from 200 in
1898 to SO6 in 1907 and in the anthra-
cite district from All to 7O8.
Accidents occur in coal states which
have stringent safety laws on their
statute books, because it is said that
the absence Of such laws in other COM
petitive coal states makes the operators
lax in the adoption of the legal safe
guards. The idea of conducting an in
vestigatiOn is therefore not only to show
what causes the accidents but to make
it clear that preventive regulations
should be adopted and that such regula-
tons will be enforced wherever coal is
mined. Coal mine accidents cannot al
ways be prevented, owing to the uncer-
tainties of ventilation in underground
passages, and the liability to leakage of
gas from seams and through the
tapping of pockets in the coal deposits,
but the danger of explosions can be
largely reduced by the exercise of care.
The statement that mine owners are
lax in the enforcement of regulations for
the safeguarding of their men in the I'M
foreground workings simply because this
course would entail expense and place
them at a slight disadvantage in compe
tition Is an arraignment of operators for
risking human life for the sake of profit.
1t is also a revelation of the necessity of
making the mining regulations general in
their application, so that when miners
go from one district to another they may
feel that they are receiving the same pro-
lection, and that they can go to work
with the assurance that whatever befalls
it will not be due to craftsmanship
ing Wisconsin, Milwaukee.
