MANY MORE SUICIDES.
Sure Signs of Mental and Physical
Break Down Cause Alarm.
New York World.

o4CoA-0OWh ShoSO &AA~A AAA'
There is an alarming increase in the
number of suicides in this country
The rate per hundred thousand in 1908
was the highest known, being 21.8,
against the 1873 of 1907. This figure
is a gain of more than one point over
the exceptionally high rate in 1904 of
POI The census of 1910, correcting
estimates of population, may show the
actual rate to be higher than the APP
parent rate. From every point OF view,
moral, social and economic, the in
crease in the suicide rate is one of
the most alarming and suggestive phe-
nomena of the present day.
Tables of the rate in 65 cities show
that suicides are more frequent in the
larger than in the smaller ones. The
Increase is also greater in western and
southern than in north Atlantic and
north central cities.
The analysis of causes of individual
cases of suicide reveals that the in
crease of suicidal tendency affects par
ticularly the prosperous and better ed
ucated elements of the population
more than it does the unfortunate, ig-
norant and poor. The close connec-
ton of crime and suicide, particularly
in the cases among the wealthy, is
also apparent.
More grave than these cases of
wnere men of high position chose self
inflicted death to escape punishment
are the sure signs of mental and phys
ical deterioration which have been
found especially of those who have
come to the cities from the country.
The opportunities in the city for ex-
element and temptation cause nerv-
Gus diseases and material, moral and
spiritual discomfort.

The Plan Upon which Coffee oper

The Plan Upon which Coffee Oper-
Coffee is such a secret worker that
1t is not suspected as the cause Of
sickness or disease. but here is very
sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had
been using 1t for some time and was
an invalid.
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the Worm

It discontinued with instructions To-
use Postum regularly in its place.
The wife says: I'VE found that
was the true remedy for his stomach
and heart trouble and We would have
gladly paid hundred times the
amount of the doctors charge when
we found how wise his judgment was.
"The use OF Postum instead OF cof-
fee was begun ABOUT year age, and
it has made my husband a strong,
well man. He has gained thirty-five
pounds in that time and his stomach
and heart trouble have all disappear
ed.
The first time prepared it ] did
not boil 1t long enough and he said
there was something wrong with it..
Sure enough, 1t did taste very fat, but
the next morning followed directions
carefully. boiling 1t for fifteen min
utes, and he remarked this Is better
than any OF the old coffee
We use Postum regularly and
never tire OF telling our friends Of
the benefit we have received from leav-
Ing OF coffee"

Prediction Of EARTHQUAKES.

Although seismologists have not YET
succeeded in finding out any means
of definitely predicting the occurrence
of an earthquake, they are hopeful Of
finally arriving at this desired goal;
and already they can discern danger
by the pulsations which are always
greatly agitating the surface of the
earth. A sudden cessation of these
heart-beats is a danger signal, ex-
IRENE stiffness Invariably preceding
an earthquake, whereas constant ire.
mors are a good sign. A great earth
quake is almost always followed by
weaker ones, and when it is violent
and destructive the number of minor
shocks following it may amount to
hundreds or even thousands, and con-
tinue for several months or years.
The occurrence of after-shocks IL
quite natural and necessary for set
Ting down into stable equilibrium Of
the disturbed tract at the origin of
disturbance, each of these shocks re-
moving an unstable or weak point un-
derneath. Further, as a very great
shock would remove a correspond
ingly great underground instability, it
is probable that such a shock would
not, for a long time, be followed by
another Of . magnitude comparable
to its " in, the same or a neighbor-
ing district. When, however, the mi
tial shock is not very great, it may be
followed by another like it. but even
in this case the position Of the origin
of the second shock would usually be
