DIDN'T KNOW. That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble

So common is the use of coffee q beverage. many do not know that it is the cause of many obscure ails which are often attributed to other things
 The easiest way to find out for oneself is to quit the coffee for q while, at least, and note results A Virginia lady found out in this way, and also learned of a new beverage that is wholesome well as pleas ant to drink. She writes
 'I am 40 years old and all my life, up to year and half ago, I had been a coffee drinker. About ten years ago I had dyspepsia so bad that often the coffee l drank would sour my stomach, and I could not retain it.
 Severe headaches and heart weakness made me feel sometimes as though I about to die. After drinking a cup two my heart would go like a clock without most stop. and I was so nervous I did was I did not know that coffee was caus- ing the trouble.
 Reading in the papers that many per sons were relieved of such ailments by leaving off coffee and drinking Postum. l got my husband to bring home a package. We made it according to directions and I liked the first cup. Its rich snappy flavour delicious.
 "I have been using Postum about eigh teen months and to my great joy. digestion is good. my nerves and heart all right. in fact, I am well woman once more, thanks to Postum.

| In the Far East this government preserves unchanged its policy of sup porting the principle of equality of op- portunity and scrupulous respect for
 the integrity of the Chinese empire, to
 which policy are pledged the interested
 powers of both east and west.
 The Chinese Loan.
 By the treaty of 1903 China has un- dertaken the abolition of the likin with d moderate and proportionate raising of the customs tariff along with cur rency reforms. These reforms being now manifest advantage of the for | eign commerce as well as to the in ! terests of China. this government is en- deavoring to facilitate these measures and the needful acquaintance of the 1 treaty powers. When it appeared that Chinese likin revenues were to be hy- pothecated to foreign bankers in con nection with a great railway project. it was obvious that the governments whose bankers secured this loan would have a certain direct interest in the I question of the carrying out by China of the reforms in question. Because this railroad loan represented a practi- cal and real application of the open door pOllCN through Nltil China by interested powers as well as because of its relations to the reforms referred to above. the administration deemed American participation to be of great national interest. Happily. when it was as a matter of broad policy urgent that this opportunity should not be lost, the indispensable instrumentality presented itself when a group of American bankers of inter national reputation and great resources agreed at once to share in the loan upon precisely such terms as this gov
 ernment should approve. The chief of these terms was that American railway material should be upon an exact equal ity with that of the other nations join
 ing in .he loan in the placing of or ders for this whole railroad system After months of negotiation the equal participation of Americans seems at last assured. It is gratifying that Americans will thus take their share in this extension of these great high ways of trade. and to believe that such will give a real impetus to our commerce and will prove a practical corollary to our historic policy in the Far East.

A Ss DEAN HARTLEY

Following an act of the board of missions of the Episcopal Diocese of the State of Arkansas yesterday af- ternoon, Bishop William NJ. Brown of the diocese. today at noon formally rendered to Rev. John Hartley, dean of Trinity Cathedral, the position of field secretary for the diocese.
 Directly after the tender was re- ceived by Dean Hartley he stated to the Democrat that he had not deter mined upon his action in the matter and that he would make no announce n1ent today regarding his intentions in the matter.

DECLINE IN DRAMATIC MORALITY

4 great deal is being written i1 this day of the decline in the literature and artistic tone of the plays that are put upon the stage, says the Hot Springs Sentinel Record, to the same extent there is a strong downward movement in their morality.
 1t would be proper in considering this matter to go back to the novels that are being turned out in an ava 1anche from the press, because the plays that are put on the stage today are merely dramatizatiOns of the stories that make up the output of modern fiction.
 In what is called literary fiction there has been a great change in re- cent years in what is necessary to please the popular taste.
 The people who once were guided by the critics have come to judge for themselves, and while the stories that are praised most by those who profess to apply the taste of the liter ary standard only sell to the numbers of few thousand each, those which are regarded as the baldest sort of trash run into the hundred thousand issues, and naturally the writer of real literature must be more or less mortified 10 find that so few persons care for his books in comparison with the rank stuff that is pleasing, possi- bly, millions of readers and is filling the pockets of the panderers to the popular taste.
 Some years ago the stage favorites were plays in which there was a great deal of wild and daring adven- ture and a great deal of wrong-doing but the doers of evil were always brought to justice, or even to a more summary retribution.
 But the appetite for poetic justice is being dulled, and today there is more syunpa ;hy with a clever and good looking criminal than with the innocents whom he has wronged and no stage story is rejected because of any strong flavor of immortality it may have.
 It is natural that the blame for the decline in the character of the drama should be loaded on the manager, but it is doubtfuli if .aN thes blame can be charged to him
 The manager is doubtless govern ed by the box office receipts, and when play pays that is a sign that it meets the popular demand.
 It would be foolish to attempt to force plays upon the people when they will not go to see them.
