PRESSED HARD.
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
In health that Postum can bring they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
In Southern state says: MY moth
er, since her early childhood, was an
inveterate coffee drinker, had been
troubled with her heart for number
of years and complained of that weak
all over feeling and sick stomach.
Some time ago I was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part OF the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
a somewhat peculiar favor of the cof
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum. / was SO
pleased with it that, after the meal was
over, l bought a package to carry
home with me, and had wife pre-
pare some for the next meal; the
whole family liked it so well that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition. but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt SO
much better than she did prior to It's
use. and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty rs the rest Of US.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the ether members of the fam
lily, but in a more marked degree in
the case of my mother, as she was
victim of long standing"

one appears from time to time. Tney

CREPPEN BOUGHT HYOscENE.
Chemist Swears That He Sold Deadly

Poison to the Accused.
London, England - At the re
sumption Of the trial of DR.. Hawley
H. Crippen and Ethel Glare Leneve for
the murder of the formers wife, Pub
tic Prosecutor Humphreys introduced
evidence to establish the claim of the
crown that the parts of the mutilated
body found in the Crippen home were
. those of Belle Gilmore, the missing
wife, and SO to strengthen what has
been popularity regarded as the miss
ing link in the chain of circumstantial
evidence.
The first witness was Mrs. AdeIine
Harrison, whose acquaintance with
Belle Gilmore had extended over II
years Mrs Harrison was asked to
examine strands of hair found when
the body was uncovered, and she
swore that she recognized the exhibit
as similar to that worn by Belle Ell
more.
A torn bit of feminine underwear
also discovered by the searchers in
the witness declared that she had seen
Belle E1more clothed in undergar-
ments of a like texture. Testimony
had been offered before showing that
the lower part of the body bore a scar,
the result of an operation. Mrs. Har-
rison testified that she had seen a
similar scar on the body of her friend.
In his cross-examination of Mrs.
Harrison, Arthur Newton, represent
ing Crippen, detracted somewhat from
the strength of the evidence and in
cidentally indicated what is believed
Newton's questions the witness as
scented to the suggestion that the hair,
the portion of woman's vest and the
curling iron found in the Crippen eel
lar were not only similar to those
worn or used by the missing woman,
but also "resembIed thousands of 9th.
ers."
When Mrs. Harrison left the stand
the prosecution called the chemist,
who admits that he sold hyoscine, a
deadly poison, to Crippen.
Inspector Dew, who arrested the
fugitives and brought them back from
Quebec, re-entered the witness box
and read a lengthy statement signed
by Crfppen when the police first ask
ed him to make an explanation of his
disappearance from London after sus-
picion had been directed against him.
Inspector Dew testified regarding
the search of Crippen's house and told
of finding there loaded revolver and
q box of cartridges.

and this occasion is most fitting for
distinguishing between real and fanci-
full conservation and for establishing
a sound relation of means to ends.
Toward the conservation of our
mineral resources little can be done
by federal action. The output is de-
