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

Old King Coffee knocks subjects
out tolerably flat at times, and there
is no possible doubt of what did it. A
Mich. woman gives her experience:
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 a while I
would be suddenly doubled up with
an awful agony in my stomach. It
seemed as though every time took a
breath would die. No one could
suner any more and live.
Finally I got down SO sick with
catarrh of the stomach that 1 could

did not digest even milk. The doctor

felt could not give it up.

on my stomach, and l soon got so

Gradually I began to get better, and
week by week gained in strength and
health. Now am in perfect condi
ton, and am convinced that the whole
cause of my trouble was coffee drink.

leaving off coffee and drinking Postum

INSIDE DOPE" ON THE
FIRE APPARATUS DEAL

So, after all of this talk about
favoritism in the awarding of con-
tracts for fire apparatus, and the
boast of the organ of the city adj
ministration of what wonderful
things it had done in throwing
light on this deal, people find
Mayor Pratt and the board of pub
lis works awarding the contract to
the company in whose favor the
specifications were framed, the
same as it was understood the con-
tract was going in the first place.
People are told that this as a
reform" administration, while at
the same time the charge is made,
nthe word of citizen, that Com
missioner Armstrong went to the
coast to confer with the agents of
the successful company-the COM
pany in whose interests the specifi-
cations were ''doctored" in the be-
ginning.
Now for the facts: Bids on auto
matte fire apparatus were called
for, and M. M. See, an independ-
ent, not in the trust, poined out
that the specifications were writ
ten to favor the Seagraves ma
chine. He told this to a reporter
for another paper, the same as
Mr.. See had told it to The Press
a number of times before in the
last six months.
A hue and cry went up, the speci-
fications were changed, and the
bids were then received. In the
meantime Commissioner Arm
strong ducked out to the coast, on
which trip he is charged with hav-
ing seen the agent of the Sea-
graves company, to which the con-
tract was awarded by Mayor Pratt
and the board of public works yes
terday afternoon. The company
represented by Mr.. See presented
a bid $1007 under the bid accepted,
yet the board turned it down.
An investigation at the city hall
will demonstrate the fact that the
Seagraves company, the Gorham
Rubber company, and one or two
other companies represented by
Captain Phillips of Seattle, have
had the drag" at the city hall for
a long time. Phillips is a former

yesterday left a fine, large load

there. And the kids immedi-
