Coffee is an irritant
To the nervous system.
1t interferes with digestion,
And affects the kidneys
In a great many cases
Where it is not even suspected
If you value health
And a sound body
The wise thing to dc
Would be to quit coffee and
Give Postum fair trial
Say two weeks or longer.
There's a Reason.

A Gratifying Situation.

The old adage that republics are un-
grateful certainly loses its verify in the
case of DR.. Wiley.
From one end of the country to the
other the people have risen almost en-
masse in support of his retention in the
government service. Nearly every one
of the thousands of newspapers in the
United States has editorially commend
ed his work They have not been blind
to his shortcomings, but, practically
without exception, they regard him as
the implacable foe of imposition and
fraud and the friend of the people.
They point to the scars of many bat
ties with the takers and adulterators as
evidence of his praiseworthy and hon
orable service.
If anybody believes that the American
people are inattentive to duty well per-
formed; if any one thinks that they are
uninformed upon public affairs; if any
one asserts that they are ungrateful,
the support which is being so univer-
sally given to DR.. Wiley affords an en-
phatic answer in the negative.

Railroads in a New Attitude.

The changed and changing attitude oi
the railroads toward the public consti-
tutes an interesting development in af-
fairs. All over the United States the
great transportation corporations are en-
deavoring to demonstrate their interes,
in the public welfare and manifesting a
spirit quite at variance with the famous
Vanderbilt remark
Take, for instance, the case of the
Lehigh Valley road, which has just
held a convention of its freight agents
for the purpose of educating them in
their relations with the public. These
agents have even been told to treat
draymen courteously," and they have
been especially warned against shipping
the goods of producers in unclean cars,
so that one source of irritation and
complaint may be removed. The Illinois
Central Railroad, also, has undertaken
an educational bureau, and while the
primary object is the better equipment
of the employees, the results will un-
doubtedly inure to the benefit of the
travelling public in courtesy and eff
ciency.
The railroads have been and still are
a tremendous factor in the progress of
the United States. The field of their
usefulness and profit will, however, be
materially enlarged if they realize that
they are in large degree responsible to
the public, and that the relations be-
tween the corporations and the people
ought to be mutually satisfactory and
not antagonistic. Attention has already
been called to the broad-ninded and
liberal policy which actuates many of
the presidents of the most successful
railroads, and if this spirit becomes gen.
eral there can be no doubt that both
the public and the railroads will be the
gamers. The American people, as an
are disposed to be fair toward
the corporations; and when the latter,
on their part, indicate a cooperative
spirit, we may look for the elimination
OF much of the friction of the past.

What We Owe TO italy.

1t is doubtful if the world has ever
seen an attempt at vindication of the
law and the protection of society equal
to the spectacle now presented at Wit
erbo by the government of Italy in its
prosecution of the Camorra and the
powerful intrigue which it has been re-
quired to combat The testimony of
Capt. Fabroni suggests a thoroughness
of preparation which is almost amazing
in its details. Much blame has been
cast upon Italy in the past because 1t
has tolerated the Camorra. When once
this trial is over the rest of the world
will better understand how difficult it
has been to put into effective action
the wish Of the rulers and of the better
type of Italian citizenship. The effort
may fail even now. but we here in
America, who know something Of the
interference of intrigue with justice,
even when the courts are honest, may
appreciate Italy's position.
ALI the world viii be the debtor Of
Italy, in case this prosecution succeeds.
Even If It fails, the criminals who have
made Italys name reproach among
nations have been made to feel that
they cannot prosecute their evil work
without eneounterins the heavy hand of
the law.

TOGO THE SILENT.

One of the Greatest Naval Warriors,
Like Moltlxe, Has Little to Say.
From the Chicago Tribune
This week sees the visit to our country
Of one Of the greatest naval warriors Of
this or any other time-Togo, OF japan.
He will not stay long and he will not
talk much. Like his English prototype,
Nelson; like Won Moltke, like Grant, he is
duty for his tongue. He unites IN his ma
ture the spirits of old and new japan.
Taciturn to a degree. his impassive faoe
showing absolutely no emotion. he con-
ceals beneath his stern exterior the cour-
age OF lion.
During the whole of the campaign
which ended with the total destruction Of
Rojestvensky's feet. Togo was seriously
i'll. When he was commanded to sea his
wife feared so for him that she entreated
him to ask the government to wait. The
old Japan rose within him and he struck
her twice across the face.
Woman" he said. you speak foolish
ness"
alarmed his assistants, he personally d.
rected the fight in the Japan Sea, stand
ing upon the bridge Of his flagship until
his officers dragged him by force to the
safety Of the coming tower and there
locked him in. It was the same courage
which Nog displayed at Port Arthur,
when not even the death of his son
served to distract his terrible assiduity
from the task he had in hand.
