joy of returning health as realized by
an Illinois young lady. She writes:

all my life and it affected by stomach

about Postum and how beneficial it
was, so concluded to quit coffee and
try it.
81 was delighted with the change.

have headache. My stomach has got

my brother also suffered from stom-
ach trouble while he drank coffee. but
now. since using Postum he feels so
much better he would not go back to
coffee for anything

MAKES ITS POINT
State in Carmack Murder Trial Lays
Foundation for Conspiracy
Charge.
STENOGRAPHER Is EXAMINED
Miss Daisy Lee Had Been in Employ
of efendants-Mystcry in Re-
volver Shield.

Nashville. Feb. Reconciliation was
laid yesterday by the prosecution in
the Cooper-Carmack trial for the pur
ported intention of Attorney General
McCarn and his associates to show
that conspiracy existed to kill for
mer Senator Carmack. Through the
same witness whose testimony linked
brOther-in-law of Colonel Cooper and
one of the foremost corporation law
yers of the state, and Adjutant Cen
eral Tully Brown with those of Col3-
mel Cooper and Robin Cooper came the
first direct testimony TO the effect that
Robin Cooper was the slayer of the
former senator
Stenogr1pher Testifies.
Dramatic interest was added by the
fact that the witness is Miss Daisy
Lee. the stenographer and private sec
rotary of Bradford. She performed
similar duties for Robin Cooper prev
ious to his incarceration on the charS
of killing Mr. Carmack. In addition u
this she had been the special protege
of Mrs. Bradford and really more u
daughter than an employee during the
five years of employment by Mr.. Brad
ford and Robin Cooper
Revolver shield Mystery.
Another sensation came whea
through the introduction of the clothes
worn by Carmack when he was killed
and two of the bullets that had ell
tered his body. the defense sprung a
coup in the discovery Of rubbSi
shield or scabbard for the barrel of !
revolver in the right hand pocket 81
the overooat the senator was wearing
at the time of the shooting Eyewii
nesses the prosecution has introduced
have stated THAT Carmack drew his
revolver from his right hip pocket un
derneath his overcoat. The defense
will seek to prove that this is enron
eous and that instead of having trouble
in withdrawing his pistol from thC
| trousers pocket his slight delay in get
| ting into action was occasioned by tn,
removal of this shield from the muzzle
of his .revolver5
An attempt will be made to prove
that this shield was not in the over
coat pocket when the garment was cx
amined after the shooting.

Suffragists declare their prospects
for victory in Washington were
never brighter and the enthusiasm
is spreading into Oregon, where
women are organizing to renew the
battle for the ballot. They point
to Idaho, where women vote on all
questions, as an example worthy of
emulation. Newspapers all over
the Northwest are devoting con-
siderable space to the cause OF equal
suffrage and it seems that the editors
are evenly divided in their attitude.
In Seattle they have waged vigor-
Gus canvass for registration for the
school election, and as a result, four
times as many women have been
registered as ever before, while the
registration of men is about the
average. They deny any interest
in woman candidate, pointing out
the fact that active propagandists of
their cause seldom run for office.
