EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land Of cot
ton of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since / can remember we had
used coffee three times a day. It had
q more or less injurious effect upon
US all. and / myself suffered almost
death from indigestion and nervous
ness caused by it.
Il know 1t was that, because when
l would leave it OF for a few days
would feel better. But it was hard to
give it up. even though realized how
harmful it was to me.
'At last / found perfectly easy
way to make the change. Four years
ago abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum, and / also in
huenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink 1t freely as they do
water. And 1t has done US all great
good.

ENLIST AID OF CHURCHES

Just how serious a problem tubercu-

It is planned to place these statistics,
together with other educational ma

GIRL soNG-WRITER. GOT RICH
Fortune When Only IS
Years Old.

New York.-Have you ever wonder
ed whence come all the songs that de-
light the public ear-those whose mu-
your mind constantly and are carried
over the country on wave of popu-
larity, or, perhaps, those other thou
sands which please for the moment
only and then suffer oblivion? Do you
imagine that they are originated in
ground out from the street pianos?
II that is your idea you certainly are
wrong. Every song that comes before
the public is the individual effort of
some music lover and as rule bears
the stamp of that individuality which
sent it forth. Naturally, it is only the
occasional song that reaches the
height of popularity, but it is just as
often the unknown writer who sends
forth this song as it is the seasoned
rhymster and musician.
Perhaps Miss Anita Owen could ex-
plain best what it means to be carried
from the background into the notice of
the public at one bound by e popular
song; what it means to lay down an
empty purse to receive a fair-sized
fortune and be recognized as a sue
cessful song writer by music lovers
the world over. Miss Owens success
came with her first song and that
first song was written when she was
girl OF only 16, studying within con-
vent class rooms. To know that you
have composed song worth publish
Ing is one thing; to awake to the fact
that your effort has greatly pleased
the fancy Of the public is another. A
popular song brings handsome checks
to Its writer, far ahead of the cost of
placing 1t on the market.
1t was about Is years ago that Miss
Owen. then convent girl living in
Chicago, wrote the words and music
which filled her mind, published the
song herself and discovered she had
achieved success at one step.
Miss Owen confesses that her unex-
pected success and sudden wealth at
the early age of is somewhat upset
her. An income of from ten to If
teen thousand year bestowed upon
a hitherto penniless maiden would be

Baltimore, May ,5.-Speaking before
the National Peace society meeting
here, Dr.. S. C. Mitchell, president OF
the University of South Carolina, to-
day pointed out Americas unexcelled
opportunity as factor making for
world peace. Dr. Mitchell said that
this country is singled out to be a
leader in the movement for an inter-
national court of arbitral justice
which shall settle all disputes which
appeal to the sword.
He drew parallel between the su-
preme court settling as it does the
disputes Of the 46 separate States OF
the Union, and the proposed tribuna.
for the 46 nations of the world, which
now are striving blindly toward the
ideal of vorld-peace.
He spoke of Edward Everett Hale's
consciousness Of the moral mission
of our country"
Thinkers Of other lands he declar-
ed, likewise recognize the manifest
destiny Of America and look to this
country to lead in the movement fol-
peace.

NEW JOB FOR J. W. CANFIELD
Major Kerrs Opponent Appointed
Auditor for Greenwood.

Columbia, May Al. w. Garfield is
the new auditor for Greenwood coun-
ty. Governor RleaSe late today named
Garfield for the position, after receiv-
ing q statement from Canfeld that he
would accept. Garfield succeeds the
late James D. Watson, notice Of whose
death appeared in today's papers. MIR.
Canfeld will serve until February II,
1913, as the commission of Mr. Wat
son was issued February II, 1911, for
the succeeding two years.
James D. Watson received his first
appointment as auditor December 28,
1906, and was commissioned Decem-
Der 81 of that year. He was appoint
ed again in February, 1909, and was
commissioned February 20, 1909. He
was reappointed February II of this
year, and it is for the unexpired term
that Mr.. Canfeld was named this af-
ternoon by the governor.
Behind the simple announcement of
the appointment of J. W. Camfeld is
a highly interesting story. First OF
all, Canfeld will have to resign as
magistrate, to which position he was
appointed by Governor Blease, whose
action occasioned a legal battle. 1t
was J. ". Garfield and Major W. H.
Kerr who opposed one another for the
magistrates job in Greenwood, Major
Kerr refusing to turn over the office
to the man named by Governor Blease
Governor Blease on March 21 in
formed Major Kerr that, "I have al
ready advised you that your commits
sion has been revoked, and while /
had hoped that you would gracefully
retire, I now repeat to you that you
are hereby removed from the Office OF
magistrate for neglect of duty" The
governor then directed Major Kerr to
turn over the affairs of the office to
Mr.. J. W. Garfield. This Major Kerr
refused to do, on the ground that the
appointment of Mr.. Garfield had not
been made "by and with the advice
and consent of the senate" A legal
argumnet in fall was advanced by Ma
jor Kerr in a letter to the governor.
The latest development in the case
was the order by Judge Watts, on
April 81, refusing to require Major
Kerr to resign. The title to the office
was not decided by Judge Watts in
the order, therefore, both men are
holding on. With the appointment o1
Mr.. Garfield as auditor the magister-
ial situation is relieved, because Mr.
Canfeld will resign his commission
and assume the duties of auditor fol
Greenwood county.
=; No sooner had the death of the late
auditor been announced than Cover,
nor Blease received telephone mes.
sages from Greenwood about the ap,
pointment Of a successor. Among
others suggested was the son Of the
late auditor Of the county. Governor
Blease withheld his decision in the
matter until this afternoon, deeminG
it best to wait for a day or so.
Today Governor Blease received
in conversation with Mr.. Garfield the
latter's assurance that he will serve
as auditor and be glad to do SO. Tht
appointment was announced late thi!
afternoon and the commission will b.
