DECLARES WAR ON
 AUTO SPEEDERS Chief BOdeker Says His Pa tience Is Exhausted TO IMPLICIT LAWS LIMIT Reckless Drivers Are Getting So Bad That Light Fines Do Not De-
 ter Them From Vio-
 latinq the Law.
TO IMPLICIT LAWS LIMIT

Automobilists have worn Chief Bode- ker's patience to a frazzle by speeding through the city's streets and he has sounded his proclamation of war. In the past those arrested for exceeding the speed limit have been dealt with lightly by Judge Feagin, but In the future the cases will be prosecuted vigorously and Chief Bodeker will ask the recorder to go the limit in fning speed violators
 During the past day or two over 20 automobile owners have been notified by the chief to make bond for their appear ance in court Their cases will probably come up tomorrow or Tuesday and from all indications they will meet with heavy frowns instead of the broad smiles which have greeted them In the past upon their appearance in court.
 A certain young lady of prominence is causing the police no end of trouble with her speed capers. She drives the ma chine herself and at present there are two charges against her. one being in the way of double charge On this one she is not only charged with breaking all speed limits, but in addition, with smash ing into the gates of a street car and inJuring passenger who was in the act of slighting from the car. She did not stop her machine, but from all accounts put on even more speed and soon disappeared.
 Chief Bodeker Is full of chivalry, but this Miss Madcap Is wearing roughly on his southern chivalry. It has been his custom when a woman happened to twist the laws of the land to handle the mat ter in a delicate manner, and, if possi- ble, avoid making charge against her. This particular case, however, accord ing to the chief, has twisted his patience to the breaking point and the clutches of the law are lowering close.
 ''Things have come to such pass that we will have to put the extreme limit of the law upon these speed vfolators," said Chief Bodeker last night We have endeavored to get them to remain inside the limit and have requested them to obey the law. Instead of placing them under arrest and bringing them to the jail to remain there until they could make bond we have simply notified them by letter to call and make bond, while the fines placed upon them have been light They do not appear to have appreciated this, however, and in the future we will have to handle them much in the same manner as we would sneak thief bring ing them to the city jail and holding them there while bond Is being made. A per son having no more respect for his fellow beings than to ride through the streets at break-neck speed should consider him. self as being well treated if forced to dig coal In the mines for the rest of his life Any number of reports have been received within the past few days of pedestrians having narrow escapes and every effort will be exerted by the police department to see that the practice is at0nnad :,

MESMERIZED. A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to believe that coffee Is necessity of life, and the strong hold that the drug has on the sys- tenn makes it hard to loosen its grip even when one realizes its injurious effects.
 A lady in Baraboo, writes: 'I had used coffee for years; 1t seemed one of the necessities of life. A few months ago. my health. which had been slowly fail- ing. became more impaired, and I knew that unless relief came from some source I would soon be a physical wreck.
 I was weak and nervous, had sick headches. no ambition and felt tired of life. My husband was also losing his health. He was troubled so much with indigestion that at times he could eat only a few mouthfuls of dry bread
 ''We concluded that coffee was slowly poisoning us, and stopped 1t and used hot water. We felt somewhat better but it wasn't satisfactory.
 Finally, we saw Postum advertised, and bought a package. I followed direc- tions for making carefully. allowing 1t to bon twenty minutes after 1t came to the boiling point and added cream, which turned it to the loveliest rich-looking and tasting drink I ever saw served at any table and we have used Postum ever since.
 T gained five pounds in weight in as many weeks. and now feel we'll and strong in every respect. My headaches have gone, and I am a new woman. My husbands indigestion has left him. and he can now eat anything" There's a Reason"
