upon the. question of regulating small
loans in the District. The matter was
being thoroughly considered by COM
mittee of citizens. he stated, and Mr.. Sid
dons had prepared bill to take the
place Of the West bill.
Mr.. Branson said the West bill was
handled with q meatax at meeting of
the East Washington Citizens Associa-

made to section 5 of the bill. He ex-
planned that the section was intended to
give the so-called loan sharks" author

making the loan.

have the association indorse the proposed
measure. He said he was opposed to the

tween lines Of the bill. he stated, he dis
covered the fine hand OF the banker It's
passage, he argued, would permit the
banks to do loan shark" business on
the side.

measure.

MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OFF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day
after day, have found better capaci-
ty and greater endurance by using
Postum instead of ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:
II had drank coffee for about twen'
ty years, and finally had what the
doctor called coffee heart l was
nervous and extremely Respondent;
had little mental or physical strength
left, had kidney trouble and constipa'
tion.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action Of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then I became less Respondent,
and the desire to be active again
showed proof Of renewed physical and
mental strength.
Il am steadily gaining In physical
strength and brain power. formerly
did mental work and had to give 1t up
on account Of coffee, but since using
Postum l am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"
