about seven years ago I ceased

II had suffered acutely from various
forms of indigestion and my stomach
had become so disordered as to repel
almost every sort of substantial food.
My general health was bad. At close
intervals would suffer severe attacks
which confined me in bed Tor a week
or more. Soon after changing from

abated, and in a short time ceased

OF course, when mans health

The drugs natural to the coffee Der
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing 1t out of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is smooth but dead

OUR COASTAL CITIES
Greedy Atlantic Said to Be Slow.
Iy Engulfing Them.
Government Geoloslst Declares That
In Time Coast Cities From 5os-
ton to New Orleans VIII
Be Under Water.

Boston.-The time will come when
that coast line of the United States
which boasts such cities as New York,
Boston, Baltimore, Washington and
Galveston will be 800 miles out to sea
and those cities will have been sub
merged. The whole Atlantic coast In

i'd is the sinking that evidences OF 1t
and measurements OF 1t within the last
decade are now to be had. That the
rate of the sinking is being accel-
Grated, and that 1t may be much fast
err In the future than 1t has been in
the past Is the claim made by G. A.
Davis, government geologist, who has
Of late been piling up masses OF evi-
dence in this connection.
He holds that there is no need ON
the part Of the residents Of the coast
cities to scramble to the housetops
today or tomorrow. But, as sure as
the geologic tendencies which have
gone on unchanged for hundreds OF
thousands of years and are now at
work continue, the people OF the ma
ually pulled beneath the water level.
Biologists have long recognized the
fact that the Atlantic coast line was
once much farther out than 1t is now.
There is line from 100 to 300 miles
of the present coast at which the wa
ter suddenly gets much deeper. Out
to that distance the water is generally
some 300 feet deep. Then 1t plunges
suddenly and becomes ten times as
far to the ocean bottom. The men Of
the coast survey have traced this line
throughout the length of our coast line
and find 1t similar all along. The ge'
ologists say that the continent once
reached out this far and that here was
the coast line. But a gradual de-
cline through the ages has caused that
line to retreat until now 1t is where
we know it.
From a geological standpoint this
has happened In comparatively recent
times. 1t has all been done since the

NEWEST IN SHELL PINS
Designers Turn From Combs TO Make
Attractive Tortoise Pins for
the Hair.

Since the modern couture leaves lit
tie room for shell combs, tortoise
shell designers are bending their ener-
giles to making attractive hairpins
with heavy heads and curved wavy
lines.
One of the newest pins has a pro-
nounced outward curve at the top on
the order of hooked handle. This
enables it to slip over the puffs and
curls so much worn.
One good looking pin for heavy hair
has the top in a semi-circular curve
like q double coil. There is no carv-
ing, only the handsome marking Of
1ne shell.
Another set of crook tops is divided
in four waving bands. Sometimes
these are plain shell. those for even
ing wear studded with brilliants or de-
signs In paste.
New and smart is the bar.shaped
top to hairpins. A barette comes to
match. The open lines of these are
sometimes plain. again studded with
rhinestones or decorations In gold or
silver.

It has been found from Maine to

SHIPS LOADING FOR ALASKA
MINING CAMPS.
INDIVIDUAL OUTFITS GIVE WAY
TO HEAVY cARGoEs OF MIN
ING MACHINERY.
Bound for Gold Camps Of cordova,
Valdez and Seward, Where
Booms Are On.

Significant changes in the kind Of
development Alaska is receiving are
interestingly reflected on the Pacific
coast this spring. Instead of multi
tude of individual outfits the steam
ship companies are receiving consign-
ments of milling and lode mining
machinery in great quantities. A
number Of big dredges for the han
ding OF low-grade placer ground are
included and, of course, the usual
cargoes Of supplies. These largely
take the place Of individual outfits as
the Alaskan miner now generally
buys in the north at the trading post
nearest the field he is going into.
The heavy mining machinery 10
generally consigned to southwestern
Alaska--C ordova, Valdez or Seward
each of which points Is having its
first real lode mining boom.
Valdez began last year with the
sensational gold output from the
Cliff mine, whose two-stamp mill pro-
duced 100000 in the season. In
stead Of one mill there will be at
least seven there this year.
Seward is headquarters for several
good gold lode camps. Beginning
within two miles OF town they ex-
tend far up into the great Susitna
basin, much Of which is still unpros-
pected. The leading camp is Willow
Creek, in the heart of the basin,
which produced 100000 with FIVE
stamps last year.
Cordova not only has promising
gold lode camp Of its own-The Mo
Kinley Lake section--but now has q
completed railway to the heart Of the
great Chitina copper region. There
will be much prospecting and devel-
opment all along the 200 miles Of this
railroad and beyond 1t in absolutely
new territory. Much development Of
large sort will also be done by
capital ON established properties.
There Is no doubt of there being q
boom and a big influx Of population
to this region. It is already on.
Even Congresses refusal to lend
Alaska q much needed helping hand
is not to be quite fatal, 1t would
seem.
