Tn 1890 / began to drink coffee.
AT that time was healthy and en-
joyed life. At first l noticed no bad
effects from the indulgence but in
course OF time found that various
troubles were coming upon me.
"Palpitation of the heart took unto
itself sick and nervous headaches, kid
ney troubles followed and eventually
my stomach became so deranged that
even a light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then l dosed myself
with patent medicines till was thor
oughly disgusted and hopeless.
Finally / began to suspect that cof-
fee was the cause OF my troubles. ex-
perimented by leaving It OF. except
for one small cup at breakfast This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. 1t satisfied me.
however, that was on the right track.
so l gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days I
found myself greatly improved, my
nerves steady. my head clear. my kid
neys working better and better, my
hearts action rapidly improving, my
appetite improved and the ability to
eat hearty meal without subsequent
suffering restored to me. And this con-
dition remains.
Leaving of coffee and using Postum
did this. with no help from drugs, as
abandoned the use Of medicines when

Cedar Rapids Gazette: Talk OF the
possible candidates for the COVER
norship next year continues. Lieuten-
ant Governor Clarke is already In
the race. Senator COPYRIGHT of Wa
terloo is announced. Governor Car
roll is mentioned for third term.
Other candidates are in grooming
stage. But really, it is too early 70
talk about the governorship or anv
other office. Besides, the weather IS
going to be hot-hot enough to make
us all want to forget the aspirations
of politicians, for few months at
least. Maybe it is impossible to make
the politicians quit talking, and equal
Ily as impossible to keep the itch Tor
office from spreading. But In the
meantime, the average man isn't go
ing to do much worrying this summer
as to who will run for office next
year. He is going to let the politicians
have monopoly of that sort OF
thing. The average man prefers tic
| think of the crorps we are going tc
have; of the various sports Of the
/ summer season, and OF the location
of good picnic and fishing grounds
And all of these things are more in
teresting now than politics can pos
sibly be.

WARNING TO SPEED MANlAcs.

The speed maniacs at Des Moines
would do well 10 look little out, AS
noted in The Gate City the other day,
they have abused their opportunities
to such an extent as to arouse public
Indignation and invite threats of sum-
mary vengeance via the shotgun route
This feeling against them is not con-
fined to residents of the capital city.
In the latest issue of his paper, the
Keosauqua Republican, Editor Rowley
serves notice on them as follows:
1--WE have owned an automobile for
nearly three years, and nave some
idea how fast car is going and we
are sure we have seen them speeding
at least fifty to sixty miles an hour
on the streets of Des Moines. We're
it necessary for US to be in that city

would be Inclined to use gun, as a
legitimate and lawful measure OF sell

wh1 tried to kill us, or who would no'
exert himself a little, at least, &c
prevent our wife from becoming
widow"
Observation-Disclosures automobile
drivers who hurl their cars along the
public streets at double express trair
speed cannot hope for public sym
pathv in case outraged individuals
should take the law into their Owl
hands and punish them as they de
/ serve.

HONOR TO JUDGE LOGAN.

That was a fitting and graceful
thing that number of appreciatiye
fellow citizens did last evening in
presenting Judge William Logan with
fine loving cup No honor that
any number of citizens could do him
would adequately reward him for his
protracted, unselfish and successful
efforts in behalf of this community
in the water power matter, but it was
none the less earnestly to be desired
that something be done in attestation
of the general appreciation of his
character and services. The amount
of work Judge Logan did as his con-
tribution to the success of the water
power project was prodiglous. Eco
pie generally have no conception OF
the magnitude of the burden he vol
unfairly took upon himself for the
common good. Even his most init
mate associates are only partially
aware Of how prodigal was his expen-
diture of time, thought and energy.
The success of the enterprise was his
dominant thought by day and ruled
his sub-conscious mind at night. 1t
| is no exaggeration to say that he lit
orally lived it as large part OF his
daily life. During the years OF al
ternate hope and fear the constant
strain told seriously on his general
health, but there was never at any
time any lessening of his interest and
efforts.
The work that Judge Logan did
1 to help the enterprise along was OF
/ the most varied character. 1t ranged
from hard physical eSertion and rou
tine mental drudgery to tasks calling
for the most skillful diplomacy ano
/ the wisest craftsmanship. Any mar
with less ability, resourcefulness, en-
ergy and determination would mo-
have been equal to the emergencies
that presented themselves. 1t tool
the happy combination of fine quail
tiles with which he is so richly en-
dowed to enable him to accomplish

But valuable as was his -rork, it wal

CONTINGENT Fees.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: When
the state bar association meets in
June at Oskaloosa the subject of con-
tingent fee cases should be taken up
and handled without gloves. The pro-
fession is being disgraced by some of
its members who are governed by no
sense of justice or even decency.
Necessarily and properly lawyers are
given large responsibility in the max
ing of law and they have It's admin
istration altogether in their hands
The burden of responsibility, there
fore, rests largely with the legal fra
ternity. The ambulance chasers
should be given the privilege of quit.
ting their nefarious practice or getting
out of the legal fraternity.

Postal Deficit Wiped out.

Boone News-Republican: Postmaster
General Hitchcock announces that
the post office deficit is entirely wip-
ed out. This is the first time in the
history of the department that the
balance has shown on the right side
of the ledger, and Mr.. Hitchcock Is
naturally elated over this proud dis
tinction. Furthermore, the postmaster
general believes that July l will
show surplus OF more than mil
lion dollars. This is indeed crafty
ing.
In this connection 1t may be said
that two distinct causes contributed
to this much desired result. Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock has instituted
a policy of economy. He has urged
upon postmasters the necessity of re-
ducing expenses wherever possible
without impairing the service. This
has accomplished much Of the desired
showing. Another factor is the pros
/ perity of the postal department. In
1 creased business is notable, and
makes UP much of the showing In the
the expenditures.
Postmaster General Hitchcock Is a
business manager. For political pur
poses there has been much talk
about his driving the employees OF the
postal department, and of his politi
cal grudge against the popular maya
zines. There is nothing in it. The
i postal employees have not been ovel
driven nor is there anything but {
simple business policy in Mr.. Hitch
cocks desire to make the advertise
ment loaded magazines pay theil
share of the postal rate. When con
!; gress gets through talking investiga
ton and belaboring Mr.. Hitchcock fd
political purposes, it will be fount
/, that never before has there beer
such an efficient conduct of the pos
! office department, as that under tn,
present postmaster general. MI
/ Hitchcock is no doubt good politi
: clan, but more than that he is maj
of sincere purposes. He undertook U
i wipe out the postal deficit, and he di
, so. The country should congratulate
him on his success. Mr.. Hitchcoc
himself attributes the result to tn
efficient cooperation of his heads c
a departments and postmasters through
!. out the country, but it is true tina
, his unremitting diligence in stirrin
, up reform, and pointing out ways !
i save waste have been the keynote
this much desired result
: Whether the postoffice departmer
will remain on paying basis unde
!. a future postmaster general is
. question. No other department of tn
t government Is expected to be Sc
q sustaining. Nearly all of the other
are dead expense. The post offic
4 department Is the most popular of al
/ and now that it isn't costing the go
h eminent cent, it will be still MOI
Il popular.
