FOUND RIGHT PATH
After a False Start.
"In 1890 began to drink coffee.

I'm 1890 began to drink coffee.
AT that time was healthy and en-
joyed life. At first / poticed 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 light meal caused me serious
distress.
Our physicians prescriptions failed
to help me and then I 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 off, except
for one small cup at breakfast. This
helped some but did not altogether re-
lieve my distress. It satisfied me,
however, that was on the right track.
so gave up coffee altogether and
began to use Postum. In ten days
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 off coffee and using Postum
did this, with no help from drugs, as
abandoned the use of medicines when

Kills Girl and Himself.

New York City.-Miss Catharine
Ladd Van Wyck, daughter of Albert
Van Wyck of Brooklyn, was shot and
killed by William A. Childs, Jr., 20, a
son of Childs, millionaire formerly
of Englewood, N. j. After shooting
Miss Van Wyck the man turned the
revolver at himself and died in less
than an hour. The caase of the shoot
ing is shrouded in mystery, but is be-
lieved to have been due to Miss Van
Wyck's refusal to marry Childs and
accompany him to his future home in

DicIAL PROCEDURE REFORM.
President Asks Adoption Of Arbitra-
tion Treaties Negotiated With
France and Great Britain.

Boston, Mass. =. Addressing the
American bar association in conven-
tion here, President Taft urged the
lawyers to take up reform in judicial
procedure, denounced recall as ap-
piled to the judiciary and urged the
adoption of the arbitration treaties
negotiated with France and Great
Britain. The presidents remarks were
greeted with enthusiasm by the 500
lawyers. The greatest demonstration
came when the president advocated
increase of salaries for federal judges
from $4,000 to $4,000 year and
when he referred to recall as q wild
theory" Just preceding the presi-
dents arrival the convention heard
the report of special committee of
former presidents of the association,
who presented a resolution denounc-
ing the recall of judiciary.
II am filled with gratitude for the
marvellous men who made the consti-
tuition. In these days when all are
for progress it is of benefit to the
community that We have an instru-
ment of sufficient elasticity to meet
our changing needs, and sufficient re-
strictions to keep out wild theories.

decided that the courts have the right
to make the law of the legislatures
square with the constitution"
OF the need for reforms in judi
cial procedure President Taft told of
the work members of the supreme
court were doing in this direction,
Justice Lurton being now engaged in
studying procedures in English courts.

AUXILIARY TO
TRADE BOARD
Would Secure Credit Rating
of Entire Population.

The representatives of the Mer-
ers of the Credit Experience Guide,
are In this district organizing the
business and professional men in an
association known as the Business
Mems Association, for the purpose
of getting the credit standing of the
entire population of the district.
The system, which has been in use
for twenty-one years, Is acknowl-
edged by the leading business men
of the country to be a perfect one,
and that it will be of benefit to all
to have in operation here.
By this system each individual is
put on record, showing how many
places they trade, what amount of
credit they obtain and how they pay
each firm with which they have had
credit dealings, and are rated
prompt pay, fair pay, slow or nc
pay.
Persons who pay one merchant in
order to use him as a reference tC
get credit from others, and then neg
lect to pay them, are the class that
largely make up the losses of the
business world. The aim of this
system is to show such persons In
their true light, making it necessary
for them to pay cash, thus reducing
the losses in extending credit.
What the trading public should In
sist upon Is that their merchants
give them a rating, so that when they
ask for credit all that is necessary
Is to refer to the guide. Only those
who are not very slow to pay will OBJ
ject to this system. There are some
people who are not Intentionally slow
in paying their accounts, but they
are neglectful, and when they under,
stand that they must be rated they
will endeavor to secure the best rat
ing possible, and will be more
prompt instead of allowing their
bills to accumulate.
The book Is now published in
nearly every county in this and ad-
joining states and renewed every
eighteen months. People moving
from n state or county to another
are followed by special reports,
showing whether they are good or
bad risks for credit and for what
amounts.
luiS CleulI SuluS pldCeS lie NON
est and prompt person in a position
that every merchant can discrimi-
nate between those who pay and
those who do not, and is a benefit to
both debtor and creditor. 1t is now
up to every n who wants a good
credit record in the Credit Expert
ence Guide to call upon any one he
| may had credit dealings with and see
that his account is settled or salts,
factorily arranged.
Supplements to the Credit Expert
ence Guide are furnished every sixty
days in the form of a s~ecretary's re.
port, keeping the rating book contin.
ually up to date.
Each subscriber is furnished with
letters to send delinquent debtors
that he may have on his books, Civ
ing them due notice to adjust thei1
accounts, SO that no person car
claim there was an injustice done
him after the book is published and
distributed.
Meeting for organization and cleo
ton of its officers is to be held in the
near future.

Miller, employed In a shoe factory
here, Is said to be the sole heir to a
fortune Of more than a quarter million

FAIL To NAME
NEW ENGINEER
New Brunswick Council Also
Considers Excise Matter.

| Special 20 the EVENING VIEWS.
New Brunswick, June 14:-An
effort to elect a city engineer was
made at the meeting Of common
council last night but it failed. The
present city engineer, Frederick
Schneider, is a Republican. His term
with that Of several other city officers
expired the first of last January but
q split over candidates among the
Democratic members has prevented
an election.
Alderman Oliver moved that the
office of city surveyor be declared
vacant. Alderman Curran seconded
the motion. Upon the roll being
called the mover and seconder were
the only members who voted for the
motion and it was lost, 10 to 2.
Holzworth Brothers petitioned the
board for permission to withdraw
their application for a restaurant
license at 227 George street. This
was opposed by members of Pitman
Methodist church which is located
within 200 feet of the place, and by
neighboring property wners The
prayer to withdraw was granted.
A similar request was made by
Michael Stahlin, who secured a lie
ense for a restaurant at Commercial
avenue and Georges road. A remon-
STRANGE had been filed against the
license being granted and because of
the opposition to the place he now
did not want the license.
Alderman Kinney opposed the ap-
plication, declaring this would prac-
tically kill the place for this year
and several people had a lot of money
tied up in the place. Stahlin, he IN
derstood, had some difficulty in rails
ing money to fit up the place and
should this action be permitted
others who had licenses and found
the business did not pay might make
a similar request and the city would
have to pay back some Of the license
fee.
Alderman Feaster said the licensee
had been discouraged by what people
had told him. The neighborhood
was thinly populated and before he
spent more money on the place Stab
lin thought he had better quit. The
alderman thought his action wise.
Kinney was the only one voting
against it.
William H. Jones, better known as
Happy" Jones, submitted to the
board three propositions as to his ac-
cepting the position of dog catcher.
He addressed his communication to
the Dog Warden Committee as fol-
lows:
/. will take the job Of dog war
den for four months for $50 a month
and the city furnish the horse and
wagon and net. / will furnish my
helper and the city furnish a place
for the dogs; or
2. l will furnish everything and
clean up the dogs for four months
for S135 a month. l will give good,
honest work and get the dogs.
g.. I will catch the dogs for four
months for $3.50 a head and do the
work good and well.
Alderman-at-Large Edward Burt
said the propositions had been made
as-tha- rasult- of his --snGzeStinR Guoh
an idea to Jones and the board re-
ferred the Jones communication to
him.
