Some people marvel at the
Effects OF leaving off coffee
And using Postum in its place,
But there's nothing marvellous
about it
Only common sense.
Coffee contains drug
Caffeine-which is
Destroyer OF digestion
And the nervous system
Postum is rebuilder-
Made of wheat (no drug nor
medication)
Which contains the
Vital phosphates" that repair
The damage done by coffee.
What's the use being
Sick and miserable when
n simple change of diet can
Bring back comfort and happi-
ness?

IN LOWER HOUSE
Astor-Force Cases Urges
Representative Howard's
Resolution.

Prompted by the almost nationwide
discussion ever the approaching mar
riage of Col. John Jacob Astor. a di-
vorCee, and Miss Force. Representative
Howard of Georgia announced his inten-
ton today to introduce a joint resolu-
ton to bring about, If possible, 4 uni
form system of divorce laws
Representative Towards resolution
will ask the President to call a confer
ence of governors ard State officials to
agree uron some plan 20 obtain uniform
divorce laws in all the States OF the
Union. II the States will cooperate and
send delegates to conference Of this
kind. called by the President and to be
held in Washington, the Georgia Repre-
sentative believes some plan mag he de-
vised to eliminate the present conflict in
the divorce laws throughout the coun-
try.
Mr.. Howard consulted a number Of his
colleagues in the House, who agreed
with him that conference of this sort
might tend to settle the mooted Gues-
ton OF divorce regulations. Mr.. How
ard points out that the National Legis-
lature Is without authority In itself to
pass a law that will apply 20 the several
to constitutional amendment delegating
such power - the Federal Government.
This sChen'e, however, would be more
or less inIiraCticable and the conference
suggestion is regarded as the better of
the two.
There is considerable sentiment in the
House for a Uniform divorce law. The
sentiment has been growing year by
year. as the divorce evil has grown.
The present controversy raging about
the Astor wedding, in which the
ChurchCs have taken a hand, has accen-
tuated the desire upon the part of the
members of Congress to do something
that will make divorces more difficult to
obtain and that will eliminate the possi-
bility of a divorce lisregardiny the de-
cree Of the State in which he lives by
a marriage in another State whose laws
are less stringent.
If tie President should call a confer
cnce of governors 1t is believed some
system of divorce might be agreed upon,
the governor Of each state then recon-
mending the enactment cf such a Ill
vOrce law to the legislature of his par
