THE NEW WOMAN
Made over by Quitting Coffee.

Coffee probably wrecks a greater
percentage of Southerners than OF
Northern people for Southerners use
it more freely.
The work it does is distressing
enough in some instances; as an illus
tration, a woman of Richmond, Va,
writes:
81 was a coffee drinker for years
and for about six years my health was
completely shattered. l suffered fear
fully with headache and nervousness,
also palpitation of the heart and loss
of appetite.
my sight gradually began to fail
and finally l lost the sight of one
eye altogether. The eye was OPP
Grated upon and the sight partially
restored, then l became totally blind
in the other eye.
MY doctor used to urge me to
give up coffee, but was willful and
continued to drink it until finally in a
case of severe illness the doctor in
sisted that l must give up the coffee,
so | began using Postum, and in a
month l felt like a new creature.
Il steadily gained in health and
strength. About a month ago 1 be-
gan using Grape-Nuts food and the
effect has been wonderful. / really

gained about 25 pounds.

could not walk square without ex-
ceeding fatigue, now l walk ten or
twelve without feeling it. Formerly
in reading could remember but little
but now my memory holds fast what

Several friends who have seen the
remarkable effects of Postum and
Grape-Nuts on me have urged that
give the facts to the public for the
sake of suffering humanity. so. al.

Bank Examiner Reid Quits.

Mr.. Walter G. Reid has written to
Bank Commissioner Dolley resigning
his position as deputy bank examiner.
Mr.. Reid has served just long enough
in the position to learn that it is a
hard and laborious job, and he says
that his health is not equal to the
task.
One feature of the job which he
never thought of in taking it, is the
fact that the examiner is required to
take trains at all unseemly hours OF
the night in getting from one place to
another to meet the demands on his
time. Mr.. Reid says he now has be-
come too old for that sort of work
and fears that it would soon result in
complete physical collapse and he Is
not yet ready to be killed off that
way, therefore he will give up the
place right now and let some one
younger take it.

ITcHED FOR TWELVE YEARS.
Eczema Made Hands and Feet Swell,
Peel and Get Raw-Arms Affected,
Too-Gave UP All Hope of Cure.
Quickly Cured by cuticura.

IT suffered from eczema on my
hands, arms and feet for about twelve
years, my hands and feet would swell,
sweat and itch, then would become
callous and get very dry, then peel
off and get raw. l tried most every
kind of salve and ointment without
success. 1 tried several doctors, but
at last gave up thinking there was
cure for eczema. A friend Of mine
insisted on my trying the Cuticura
Remedies, but did not give them a
trial until l got so bad that l had to
do something. l secured a set and by
the time they were used could see a
vast improvement and my hands and
feet were healed up in no time. have
had no trouble since. Charles L.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric Is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods, This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

HIS PLEASURE A LATE ONE.
Probably Mr.. Hogan Did Not Realize
Just What Might Be Made of His
Expression.

Casey was dead, and to do honor to
him the members of the Thirteenth
district Tammany organization at
tended the funeral in a body, says the
New York Press. Slowly and sadly
they filed past the coffin and took a
last look at their departed comrade.
At the door each man paused to shake
hands with the Borrowing widow and
to murmur few words of coincidence.
When it came to Mr.. Hogan's turn, he
retained possession of her hand, while
he delivered lengthy Grafton con-
corning the good qualities of the de-
funct Mr. Casey.
Sure, tbs plain you knew my hus-
band well, sir" said the fearful Mrs.
Casey.

sight" Mr.. Hogan fastened to eX-

Lincoln Statue for Topeka.

The erection of heroic statue OF
new 100000 Grand Army Memorial
hall in Topeka is being planned by
the old soldiers of Kansas, and within
a short time active work will be COM
menced to solicit the money.
Contributions will be sought only
from the ex-Union soldiers of Kansas.
There are about 10000 old soldiers in
the state \ 1t is contemplated 10 have
each post start a subscription paper,
none of the members to be asked for
more than so cents. Where an old
soldier desires to give more, he will
be permitted to do so.
The matter is to be taken up off,
cially by the G. A. r. headquarters
at Topeka as soon as the national en-
campment at Salt Lake City is over.
Commander Rickel of the Kansas de-
partment will issue a circular letter
and bulletin, in which he will set
forth the plans to raise the funds, and
the results that are to be accomplished
The idea originated at Chanute at
meeting of one of the posts. AS soon
as it was generally disseminated over
the state, it was favorably looked up
on by the old soldiers, and word and
letters we're received from many OF
the members of the Kansas depart
ment of the Grand Army that the mat
ter should be pushed at once, and
that they were willing to donate as
quickly as subscription papers were
put out.

Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine
wash goods when new, owe much OF
their attractiveness to the way they
are laundered, this being done in a
manner to enhance their textile beau
ty. Home laundering would be equal
ly satisfactory If proper attention was
given to starching, the first essential
being good Starch, which has sufficient
strength to stiffen, without thickening
the goods. Try Defiance Starch and
you will be pleasantly surprised at the
improved appearance of your work.

The Clothesline Test.

Let me see her clothes on the line,
said an old-fashioned woman recently,
land | can tell you if she is a good
housekeeper" The test lies in the
way the garments are hung. If the
skirts are scattered around promiscu-
ously the woman lets garbage stand
on her kitchen table over night. The
skirts, like we men, should always
hang together, shoulder to shoulder,
and everything of it's kind should hang
in a row.-Atchison Globe.

PHYSICIANS Mean Trick.

A doctor was one day stopped in~the
street by one of his woman patients
whose malady was purely imaginary.
The doctor, who was known for his
intolerance of and nopsympathy with
such invalids, after | stening some
what impatiently to til woman's de-
tailed account of all her feelings and
symptoms, told her to shut her eyes
and put out her tongue. She prompt
ly did So On opening her eyes in a
few seconds the doctor was nowhere
to be seen, and the woman awoke to
the fact that he had left her standing
by herself in a busy thoroughfare with
her eyes shut and her tongue hanging
out.

Orders Insurance Reduced.

: The insurance rates at Ellinwood
have been ordered reduced by State
Superintendent Charles w. Barnes.
The city of Ellinwood has recently
built a waterworks system, but in
fire fighting apparatus and taken
other fire precautions. In view of this
Mr.. Barnes has ordered that the in
surance companies operating in Ell
linwood make a reduction of 13 per
cent in their rates ON brick buildings,
a 81 reduction on the contents of
brick buildings and a reduction of 81
per cent on frame buildings and their
contents. The order becomes effec-
tive at once.

Court Jurisdiction Denied.

John S. Dawson, attorney for the
railroad board, filed his answer to
the suit brought in the Shawnee dis
trict court against the board and the
express companies by the big cream
cries of the state for a restraining or
der to prevent the placing in effect
of the new rates on cream shipments
recently promulgated by the board.
In it's answer the railroad board,
through its attorney, alleges that the
district court has not jurisdiction over
the railroad board and its power to
make rates. Also that the appeal to
the district court was not made within
the time prescribed by law, and fur
Their, that the rates made by the board
were just and reasonable.

there are three OF them started on

railroad would be started Nauyoo
would not be long in getting one from
Nauvoo 10 Keokuk to negin with.
Then we would have an important
hand in the management and trains
could be operated to suit our conyen-
fence. The country this line would
pass Is farming land worth from s125
TO 5000 an acre now and would even
advance as soon as construction has
i begun. Passenger and freight cars
could be run at close intervals as de
mand Justifies. The current will be
sufficient TO furnish houses along the
line with light, and this would be an
important branch of the service.
