COFFE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time 1 was a coffee
drinker I was subject to sick head
aches, sometimes lasting two or
three days, totally uniting me for
anything.
To this afiiction was added, some
years ago, a trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. l took all sorts of
patent medicines but none Of them
helped me for any length of time.
The doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me;
but without coffee / felt as if I had
no breakfast. l finally decided
about two years ago to abandon the
use OF coffee entirely. and as 1 had
read a great deal about Postum I
concluded to try that for a breakfast
beverage.
Il liked the taste of it and was
particularly pleased to notice that ii
did not 'comeup' as coffee used 70.
The bad spells with my heart grew
less and less frequent, and finally
ceased altogether, and / have not
had an attack OF sick headache for
more than year. My digestion is
good, too, and I am thankful that
/ am once more healthy woman. /

health came from quitting coffee and

Commissioners cIash.-City officials
broke the ice Of Formally Saturday
with the result that there was live
IL verbal tilt during a special session
of the commission. The matter seemed
to be an affair between Commission
ers Anderson and Eastman; the others
kept hands of and allowed the war
game" to play itself out. In formal
communication to the council, which
was read by the. city clerk, Commits
sioner Anderson raised a question OF
Jurisdiction, his claim being that Com
missioner Eastman Is not confning
himself to his own department AS
proof of his claim Mr.. Anderson 9
letter cited the fact that Mr.. Eastman
caused to be printed in local papers
the story of a conference with Man
ager Terry OF the Central Union Tel
ephone company. The subject of the
conference was street repairs, Mr..
Eastman having insisted or requested
the telephone company to make re-
pairs at once, and the commissioner
of public improvements and streets
raises the point that street repairs
are not part of the work of the de-
partment of public health and safety.
Commissioner Anderson insisted his
communication be received and placed
on file. This was done by order Of
the mayor.
Physician Arrested-Dr. Eta Pc
trie of Silvis was arrested Saturday

AS was seen by the proceedings
Of the Town Council, published last
week, an ordinance was passed reg
ulating the speed limit for automo-
biles within the town limits Of st.
Joseph and fixing same at max
imnm speed Of twelve miles an
hour. and providing penalty for its
violation. This is a wise measure
and should be rigidly enforced. The
tendencyo of some automobile enthu-
siasts to rush through the streets
without regard to the rights of Pc
destrians, and as though bent on
lowering all speed records, deserves
reprimand, and it is sincerely to be
hoped that this ordinance will b.
observed before someone is run ovel
and seriously hurt. Horns must b
blown upon approach to street cross
ings and corners, with machines or

With very few exceptions. the
common drinking cup in public
places, such as hotels and railroad
waiting rooms, is no more in this
section, as everybody seems DESTROYS
to obey the law on the question,
which became effective on March
LIST.
The St. Louis and Iron. Mountain
Railroad was promt to obey the
law, as notices to their local agents,
asking that cups be removed at
once, have been received all along
the line. In the instance of de-
pots along the M. H. & L., how
ever, the order was useless, as the
law had long been observed, even
before its enactment.
DR.. Bowling states that stores,
and all places Of business, are, in
the sight of the law. considered
public places, and that cups must
be removed from these places at
once. The penalty for non-compli-
ance with the law is a fine from
s25 to $500.
