This is one Of the highest COM
pliments ever paid to the level-head-
ed, common sense of Americans
who cut Off about two hundred mill
lion pounds of coffee when they
found by actual experiment Qn the

drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis
comfort and varying forms of dis

it is killing them. but 1t is easy
to shift from coffee to Postum, for,
when made according to directions,
1t comes to table cup of beverage,
seal brown color. which turns to
rich golden brown when cream is
added. and the taste is very like
the milder grades OF Old Govt lava.
Postum is a veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts Of wheat carefully pre-
pared to which Ia added about ten
per cent Of New Orleans molasses.
and that is absolutely all that
Postum is made Of.

and corner ia open for every visit
or to carefully inspect. Crowds
come daily and seem to enjoy it.

one week during a sightseeing tour of
Europe this summer, Rev. Albert
Schumacher, pastor of the Grace Mon
nonite church, of Pandora, and his
brother, Noah, local merchant, may

After being detained week they
were liberated, but without apology.
They at once left Italy for fear they

Rev. Mr.. Schumacher states that
they were not roughly handled and
were permitted to send out for meals,
but that the prison was unsanitary.

luCStiOUS Law
The validity of the law excusing

tional Guard from jury duty is raised
in the habeas corpus case OF Sheriff
Henry w. Hamann, of Hamilton coun-
ty, against James ]. Heekin, of Cincin-
natl, which has been brought to the
supreme court.
Heekin, contributing member of
Company I, First regiment, refused to
respond to call for jury service and
was arrested and placed in the county
jail. He was released on habeas cor
pus proceedings by Insolvency Judge
Warner, who upheld the law, and was
sustained by the circuit court. The
state decided to carry the case
through the supreme court to get a
ruling on the standing Of the law.

The wretched youth agreed, and made an at tempt to blow out his brains. but only succeeded in completely destroying the sight of both eyes.

GERMANY GAINS A "A
 DIPLOMATIC VICTORY

] Berlin, January 21.-(special) Germany has gained a remarkable diplomatic vic tory the consequence of which can hard ly be foretold, in persuading the Turkish government. to make the study of the German language obligatory in all the ele- mentary state schools of the ottoman empire.
 Practical and farsseeing Germans long ago realized that the spread of the Ger man language is one ofntiie best methods of promoting German trade Interests in distant parts of the world, and the Ger man government have always given their support to the foundation of the German schools in over-sea countries.
 In recent years great efforts have been made to establish. German schools in China. Persia and many other countries in which Germany has commercial am bitions, and 1t is well known in Berlin that the remarkable spread of the use of the German language in the near east as well as in the South African conti- nent and other parts of the world has very materially extended the volume of German trade in those regions. .-
 It Is obvious that to make the study of the German language obligatory in all the state schools of foreign country is a far more effective measure than the establishment of a single college for the education of a few chosen students, and the decision of the Turkish. government to favor Germany in this way must there fore be regarded as one of. the most successful diplomatic strokes scored by the kaisers government during recent years

 The stepmother appears to have taken a vicious dislike to the child" said MT Treharne. who prosecuted on behalf of the National society for the prevention of cruelty to children. ''and to have sub- jected her to severe ill-treatment.
 She punched the child aboft the head and body, knocking her down; she burned her arms with a spoon specially heated for the purpose: she turned her finger ends over until the blood o5zed out, and she twisted her wrists until one of her arms was fractured. There were daily thrashings and the child was seen with swollen eyes. .at { "On one occasion the stepmother caught her wrists and applied red hot iron to them, blistering the flesh On another, she heated a f1atiron and ordered her to put out her tongue. As the child would open her mouth the woman heated a large spoon and forced it between her lips. blistering her tongue.
 The twisting of the arms and wrists was repeated, causing the child excrutia- tlng pain, and she ran away, but sho was taken home again, and the ill-treat- ment Vas resumed. The father struck her with stick. and eventually she was found by the society in shocking con- dition and removed to a hospital"
 The child herself described the treatment which she suffered.
 My mother hit me with a walkn-stick on the back and hand,' she said. Al rewards she used a copper stick and box ed my ears She heated an iron on the gas stove and told me to put out my tongue. Then she burned my tongue with a spoon"

But before the new in- huence had had time to assert their sway he was retected in some petty peculations and dismissed from the service.
 While he was still overwhelmed with this disgrace, one of his brothers, who had taken divinity degree and had position as tutor in Silesia presented himself before him at Wilhelmshaven, and proffered a loaded revolver, pro- posed that he should commit suicide. at

Mystery Laid to Rest

Paris, JanuaryN -(Special.) )-Half cen tury after its inception. a Franco-Amer- ican mystery has been just been laid to rest. In 1857 a, story was circulated here that Frenchman named Pierre Ballet had died in Charlestown and left large fortune. Immediately an army of Baillets came forward claiming the dead man as their long lost uncle In quiries were at once begun, the French consul at Charlestown making a search for records of the deceased Ballet in and around the city. But 1t was not, until the other day. 63 years after the man s reported death, that the consulate was able to; report officially that no Pierre Ballet had ever lived In or near Charles town, and that consequently there> could never have been any question. of mill lions to be divided by his relatives.
