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 mil
lion pounds of coffee when they
found by actual experiment Tin the
majority of cases) that the subtle
drug caffeine, in coffee, worked dis
comfort and varying forms of dis
ease.
Some people haven't the charac-
ter to stop halt when they know
1t is killing them, but it 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 Java.
Postum is a veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts of wheat carefully pre-
pared to which is added about ten
per cent of New Orleans molasses.

Then the article proceeds to de-
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy, because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect Of
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups a
day, now we find in every walk in
life people who imagine they can
not drink it. (The underscoring is
ours) BurIy blacksmiths, carpen-
tiers, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use of
coffee; as there is not a person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among his own circle of aequaint-
ances, is it not well for the Brazil
ians to sit up and take notice?"
Isn't it curious these bur
ly' strong men should pick out cof-
fee to Imagine" about? Why not
Imagine" that regular doses of
whiskey are harmful, or daily slugs
of morphine?

feline in coffee clog the liver, de-
press the heart, and steadily tear |
down the nervous system, bringing |
on one or more of the dozens of |
types Of diseases which follow |
broken-down nervous systems,
many people don't know it.
But 1t remained for the man who
has coffee, morphine or whiskey
to sell, to have the supreme nerve
to say: "You only imagine your
disorders. Keep on buying from
me-"

NO MONOPOLY IN MEDIo1NEs.
"Cut Rates. Upheld by United States
Supreme Court. f

Washington, April 3-The attempt
to put the ban on "cut rates. In pro-
p~rietary medicines In this country to-
day received the unqualified dlsap-
prevail Of the Supreme Court of the
United States. That tribunal do
clined, in an opinion by Justic e
Hughes, to give its aid to such an at,
tempt on the ground that 1t would
afford the manufacturers Of medi-
cine an unlawful monopoly.
The question: of the right of a man
ufacturer to control the price Of his
article to the consumer arose in a
suit begun by the DR.. Miles Medical
Co., Elkhart, Ind, against a whole
sale dealer in medicines in Cincin-
natl, John D. Park G Sons Company.
The manufacturer sought to enjoin
the Cincinnati firm from inducing
dealers who had procured medicines
from the manufacturer to sell to 1t in
violation Of q contract with the man
ufacturer, and from selling medicines
procured in this way at "cut rates"
Justice Lurton, then a Judge in the
circuit Court, announced the opinion
of the Circuit Court Of Appeals of
the Sixth circuit, denying the %intunc-
tons sought. He said that while the
manufacturer Of medicines under a
secret formula had a right to a mo-
nopoly of manufacture until the for
mula was discovered by fair means,
yet courts could not insure him the
unnecessary monopoly" of co%ntroll-
Ing the price to the consumer.
Justice Lurton added that such a
manufacturer would be accorded
otherwise a greater privilege than an
Inventor. He pointed out that an
inventor must make public his inven-
ton, which becomes the property of
the public after a few years, but a
manufacturer Of a proprietary medi-
cine, under a more secret formula,
might enjoy a monopoly forever.
Justice Hughes to-day quoted an
provingly from Judge Lurton's opin-
ion, and stated that the medical com
pany had made the mistake Of con-
%sidering its monopoly Of manufacture
to be a monopoly of sale.
Justice Holmes, in a dissentine
opinion, said that he believed in the
policy of letting people manage their
oWn business in their own way as
much as possible. Furthermore. he
stated that he believed there was a
tendency to ~overvalue the benefits of
competition to the public.
None of the other justices con-
Cured In the dissenting opinion as
stated from the bench.

ROBBERY L. sYMEs DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home in Upper
OcOnec Last Thursday.

The announcement OF the death Of
Robert L.. Symes, who passed away at
his home in the Mountain Rest sec
ton Of Oconee last Thursday, brought
genuine sorrow to many all over Oco-
nee, throughout which section of the
State he was well and tfavorably
known.
Mr.. Symes was about 55 years Of
age and leaves five children to mourn
his death. He vas q man whom every
one delighted to honor. Honest and
honorable in all his dealings with
his fellow-men, he was known far
and near as q man who typified in a
remarkable degree the very essence
Of true citizenship. AS the news
spread that Mr.. Symes was no more
him but who felt a distinct personal
loss as well as a loss to the county
as a whole. Truly it may be said
that a good man has passed to his
reward.
Mr.. Symes was a quiet, unassum-
Ing Christian-one Of those men who
live their Christian principles in such
an easy and graceful manner as to
impress others, without endeavoring
to do SO, with the reality and true
worth Of all those little things that
go to make up the w~ell-rounded
Christian character. His daily life
was such as to emphasize the power
Of the One he so closely followed and
to Impress upon all the dignity Of ex-
allied humility.
Mr.. Symes was twice married, his
first wife having been Miss Matte
Fretwell and the second q Miss Jen-
nings. His second wife preceded him
to the grave about four years. He
was a consistent member Of the Bap-
tbs church, and for years had been a
deacon in the church at Double
Springs. He had been sick only a
short while, II during the recent
session OF court In Walhalla had been
IN attendance as a grand Juror.
Shortly after his return to his home
he was stricken with pneumonia, to
which he succumbed within a week.
Funeral services were conducted Fri
day afternoon at Double Springs by
his pastor, Rev. j.. A. Bond. The in
terment vas made in the presence of
a large concours of Borrowing rela-
tives and friends.
The bereaved ones have the sympa-
thy Of many in their hour Of sorrow.
The deceased was a nephew Of the
renowned Nance Jolly, who was
widely known for the part he took
during the period Of reconstruction
after the war.

Dloy of the Union Pacific railroad,

New York Railroad Club at its an
nual meeting, within a year or so
wireless telephoning from moving
trains Will be a feature of the daily
operation Of trains on the Union Pa
CHIC. Two wireless stations will be
established this summer, one at Sid
ney, Neb., and the other at Cheyenne,
Wyo', U miles apart, OF a single
track line. We expect to keep up
communication with moving trains
between these stations, and others
that will be established. Wires win
be stretched on top OF the cars.
The wireless telephone which we
have devised and have been using In
Omaha is sufficiently powerful for
messages to be received from a con-
siderable distance simply by attach
ing the receiving apparatus to an or
binary umbrella held over the opera
tors head. The ordinary telephone
head set is used by the person re-
ceiving."
The experiment will be watched
with a great deal Of interest. If it
proves successful a great step for
ward will have been made.
