GOVERN MEN T BY PREACHERS

An Indiana society which talks
about being engaged in the Eight
for personal liberty protests
against government of and by
preachers. 1t is to be hoped that
the doctrine of personal liberty will
not be carried to the extent of deny
ing freedom of speech to those who
do not drink. Surely n preacher who
has no pccuniary interest to serve,
but who acts-whether mistaken in
judgment or Woodworking To what
he conscientiously believes is for
the good of people generally, is as
much entitled to an opinion on the
liquor question as the man who, be-
cause he manufactures 1t or sells 1t
as a money investment, has in the
cultivation of the drink habit. The
Commoner.

false classification of its imported
raw sugars amount to $50, 900, 900
or more. Its rascality and the
manner in which it has been manu-.
featuring criminals out of Uncle
Sam S employees, was made known
several years ago by the revela.
tions of one of the custom house
employees, whose only reward was
a prompt dismissal by his superior.
He tried to get relustated and APP

very much interested, and said
that he would see that the dis

But lately the scandal has broken
out afresh and the stealing and

the press so insistent in its accu'

that something had to be done.
The result of this reluctant activity

these matters, is the indictment and

their guilt is so apparent. They
knew they would have to go if they
were found out, but the thleving

had come to feel secure. SO the

THE DIFFERENCE.
Coffee Usually Means Sickness But
Postum Always Means Health.

Those who have never tried the eX-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum in it's place and in
this way regaining health and happi-
ness can learn much from the expert
ence OF others who have made the trial
One who knows says: Il drank coffee
for breakfast every morning until had
terrible attacks of indigestion produc-
ing, days of discomfort and nights of
sleeplessness. l tried to give up the
use of coffee entirely but found it hard
to go from hot coffee to IA glass of
water. Then tried Postum.
1T was good and the effect was so
pleasant that | soon learned to love it
and have used it for several years. |
improved Immediately after | left off
coffee and took on Postum and am now
entirely cured of my indigestion and
other troubles all of which were due
to coffee. l am now well and contented
and all because l changed from coffee
to Postum.
Postum is much easier to make
right every time than coffee for it is so
even and always reliable. We never
use coffee now in our family We use
Postum and are always WE'LL

SHOOTING AT FITCHBURG.
Edw. Dickson Shoots Mrs. Annie Berry
and HmseIf-He May Die.

Fitchburg, Mass, Nov. 2-As a re-
suit of shooting affair at the board
ing house of Mrs. Annie Berry, in this
city today, Mrs. Berry was removed to
the hospital with a painful but not
serious bullet wound in the head. while
Edward j. Dickson, who the police say
attempted murder and suicide, was also
removed to the same institution with
a more serious and perhaps fatal
wound in the head. Dickson had been
a boarder at Mrs. Berry's house for
several months and when the woman
announced yesterday that she was go
ing to give up her boarding house he
became very angry. Some of the
neighbors claimed today that Dickson
threatened to take his life yesterday
The shooting took place in the kitch-
en- and when the police reached the
scene, Mrs. Berry and Dickson were
lying on the floor with blood stream
ing from their wounds.
Mrs. Berry's husband, Frank Berry,
IS a travelling salesman in WATERFOWL,
Mass. He was notified of the affair
and came here this afternoon.
