EASY CHANGE
When Coffee Is Doing Harm.

A lady writes from the land of cot
ton Of the results of four years use
of the food beverage-hot Postum.
Ever since can remember we had
used coffee three times day. 1t had
a more or less injurious effect upon
us all. and 1 myself suffered almost
death from Indigestion and nervous
ness caused by 1t.
II know 1t was that, because when
l would leave 1t of for few days 1
would feel better. But 1t was hard to
give it up, even though realized how
harmful 1t was to me.
"At last l found a perfectly easy
way to make the change. -Four years
ago 1 abandoned the coffee habit and
began to drink Postum. and 1 also In
fluenced the rest of the family to do
the same. Even the children are al
lowed to drink it freely as they do
water. And it has done US all great
good
II no longer suffer from Indigestion,
and my nerves are in admirable tone
since I began to use Postum. We
never use the old coffee any more.

our family physician, who at once pro-

for about three months. BY the end
of that time. he seemed no better I
became discouraged. and as l had

wonderful success, l dropped the doc

change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders.

months old all trace of the eczema
was gone.

To Arrange Flowers.

Here are five golden rules which
should be observed by those who often
arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage.
Put your flowers in very lightly. Use
artistic glasses. Do not put more than
two or, at the most, three different
kinds of flowers in one decoration.
Arrange your colors to form a bold
contrast or. better still, soft har-
mony. The aim OF the decorator should
be to show off the flowers-not the
vases that contain them; therefore the
simpler ones are far preferable to
even the most elaborate. Glasses for
a dinner table should be either white.

BIG SCANDAL
FOLLOWS RAID
DISCOVERIES IN CHINESE DEN
MAY LEAD TO IMPORTANT
DEVELOPMENTS
U. S. AUTHORITIES BUSY
CORRUPT CHINESE AND POLICE
OFFICIALS SAID TO BE
IN ALLIANCE.

New York-Disclosures of sensa-
tional nature were made of the fact
that in raid on an opium den in this
city recently by customs inspectors
a mass OF documentary evidence was
found which probably will result in
the solution of the Elsie Sigel and
other murder mysteries and which ell
tablishes beyond question the exist
ence of corrupt relations between a
syndicate OF Chinese criminals and
palice officials in this and other cit
les.
These revelations have started an
investigation which federal and city
authorities agree will be one OF the
most far reaching and searching In
the history of New York.
The documents seized in the raid
are looked upon as SO important by
Henry A. Wise, United States district
attorney, that he will not turn any
of them over to the New York po-
lice until the Treasury Department a;
Washington decides upon its course.
The New York police are anxious
to get at the records which show how
the murderer of Elsie Sigel escaped
and the sums of money that have
been paid by Chinese criminals to po'
lice officials in this city and else
where. So conservative an official as
Deputy Commissioner Flynn said
that because of the revelations made
in these records, one of the greatest
shake-ups in the history of the New
York police department is inevitable.
1t has been learned that not only
have the United States district attor'
ney and the district attorney OF this
county entered upon the case. but In
addition to the inquiry now being pur'
sued by the customs inspectors, the
secret service division of the Treas
ury Department has been called In.
The large packing boxes filled with
discriminating documents are now in
a room in the federal building. guard
ed by an armed watchman. 1t has
been physically impossible to trans
late all of the communications, which
are written in Chinese. but the most
skilled translators in the federal serv-
vice tLlS city uiC ot WIN opoA
them.
Many of the receipts, letters and
memoranda are written in English and
these point to connivance between
police officials and Chinese Grimm
ais of a character. which. when 1t be-
comes known, will result in the dis
grace and prosecution Of many police
officials.
From the federal authorities Dep.
uty Commissioner Flynn has learned
of the existence of proof of this gull
ty relationship although he has not
yet been permitted to examine the
documents themselves.
AS the situation stands. all the evil
dence relating to the smuggling of
Chinese into this country. the opium
traffic and the murders Of which the
Chinese have been guilty Is still held
by the federal authorities.
