WHAT'S THE USE
Sticking to a Habit When 1t Means
DiscOmfOrte

Old King Coffee knocks subjects out
tolerably fat at times, and there is no
possible doubt of what did it. A Mich
woman gives her experience:
II used to have liver trouble nearly
all of the time and took medicine
which relieved me only for a little
while. Then every once in while l
would be suddenly doubled up with an
awful agony in my stomach. 1t SEEM
ed as though every time l took a
breath I would die No one could suf-
fer any more and live.
Finally l got down so sick with
catarrh of the stomach that | could
not turn over in bed, and my stomach
did not digest even milk The doctor
finally told me that if l did not give
up drinking coffee l would surely die,
but I felt l could not give it up.
However, Husband brought home a
package of Postum and it was made
strictly according to directions. 1t
was the only thing that would stay on
my stomach, and I soon got so l liked
it very much.
Gradually I began to get better,
and week by week gained in strength
and health. Now I am in perfect con-
dition and I am convinced that the
whole cause of my trouble was coffee
drinking. and my getting better was
due to leaving off coffee and taking
Postum.
"A short time ago tasted some cof-
fee and found, to my astonishment,
that I did not care anything about it.
I never have to take medicine any
more hope you will use this letter
for the benefit of those suffering from
the poisonous effects of coffee !"

OIL COMBINE
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL ARGUES
1T MUST BE ERADlcATED
FROM BUSINESS WORLD.
ATTEMPTS TO SHOW THAT COR.
PoRATIoN HAD INTENT
TO MoNoPoLlzE.

Washington, March 16.-Holding III
the Standard Oil company Of New Jer
sey as a danger to the country ano
its organization as commercial pre-
cedent that must be eradicated from
the business world. Frank B. Kellogg
yesterday arraigned the corporation
| before the supreme court of the
United States with all the power OF
| his eloquence. 1t was the govern
ments turn to be heard in the argu
ment over the dissolution OF Standard
Oil as decreed by the circuit court OF
the United States for the eastern dis
! trict of Missouri.
| Except about 20 minutes that John
G. MilbuIn consumed at the beginning
of the sitting in conclusion Of hts
opening address, and about an equal
length of time occupied by D. t. Wat
son at the close Of the day, both III
defense of Standard Oil, all the time
was taken up by kellogg.
His object was to give the history
of Standard Oil and its activities,
which he denounced as monopolistic,
but frequently he was led off into the
law of the case.
He seemed inclined to leave many
of these points for discussion to AT
torney General Wickersham, who is
to close the case for the government
today. Particularly was this true as
to the point of common ownership OF
Standard Oil property urged by the
defense to have existed both before
and after the organization of the al
legged legal combination in 1899
Time after time the court manifest
ed it's keen interest in the case by
subjecting counsel before it to series
of queries. They were particularly
anxious to know about the common
ownership claimed by the Standard
Oil counsel, and to get various inter-
pretations of the meaning which
should be given to the word monopoly,
as used in the Sherman antitrust act.
The day brought out a sharp con.
f1ict of purposes by the government
and Standard Oil Mr.. Kellogg on be-
half of the government, dwelt upon
the activities of the corporation with
view of attempting to prove intent
to monopolize, in addition to the re-
organization of 1899.
On the other hand, the Standard
Oil counsel contended that such mat
tiers were not before the court for re-
view. The only question, they claimed.
was whether the alleged Illegal com
bining of 1899 was violation of the
law as held by the lower court. This
they based on the fact that the gov
eminent did not appeal from the deci-
sion of the lower court.
