ABANDONED 1T
For the Old Fashioned Coffee Was
Killing.

81 always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table.
81 had been troubled some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast and
at other times very slowly, so that l
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and If
l walked up a hill, it gave me a Sc
we're pain.
81 had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps it might be caused by coffee
drinking. l tried leaving off the coffee
and began drinking Postum. The
change came quickly. l am now glad
to say that 1 am entirely well OF the
heart trouble and attribute the relief
to leaving off coffee and the use Of
Postum.
"a number of my friends have aban-
doned the old fashioned coffee and
have taken up with Postum, which
they are using steadily. There are
some people that make Postum very
weak and tasteless, but II it is boiled
long enough, according to directions,
1t is a very delicious beverage. We
have never used any of the old fash
toned coffee since Postum was first
started in our house"

The punishment for cruelty in ship
ment ought to be made heavy, other
wise it will not be deterrent. The
convenience of the shippers and car
riers will lead them to prefer paying
small fines to obeyilg the law to the
letter. AS to the moral aspect of the
case, it is shocking to humane senti
ment that unfortunate animals should
be subjected to intense heat in sum
mer, aggravated by the deprivation o.
food and water for long and unnatura
periods. AS a sanitary matter, ami
mails with blood fevered and systemi
injured by such suffering are not a
for human food.

Corporation Law Given Death Blow.

corporation Law SlVCH DcdtH DlOWs
State officials say that the final
blow given the Kansas corporation
law by the United States supreme
court recently renders it practically
imperative so far as foreign corpora
tions are concerned. The original law
provided for a certain license fee for
foreign corporations, based .on capital
stock, and provided that such corpor'
atoms could not have the protection of
the local state courts unless they paid
the fee. The United States supreme
court recently knocked out the license
fee clause on the grounds that the
state could not tax the entire capital Of
a foreign corporation unless it was
used in its Kansas business. In other
words, If foreign company only EN-
ployed one-tenth of it's capital in it's
Kansas business, this state could not
levy a tax on the other nine-tenths
employed in other states.
In the case mentioned, the United
States supreme court held that for
eign corporation could not be deprived
of the protection of the state courts,
even though it had not paid the fee nor
filed a certificate with the secretary
of state. These two points practically
annul the law in regard to foreign cor
poratoions. The Legislature next win
ter will enact a new corporation law
probably along the lines of the New
York law, which has been upheld by
the courts.

Rural Roads Must Be Improved.

Unless patrons of the rural mail de-
livery routes see to it that the roads
are repaired, some of the routes in the
state are likely to be discontinued, &C
cording to an official bulletin from the
postoffice department at Washington,
which was received by Postmaster A.
X. Rodgers of Topeka. In most parts
of the state the road officials have
needed a similar bulletin sent out by
the department some months ago. In
several districts, however, the bad
roads complained of by the postal au-
thorities have not been repaired and
unless something is done Immediately
those districts stand pretty good
chance Of losing their rural delivery
service.
