COFFEE CONGESTION
Causes a Variety of Ais.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin
says:
During the time was coffee
drinker / was subject to sick head
aches, some times lasting 2 or 3 days,
totally uniting me for anything.
To this affection was added, some
years ago, trouble with my heart
that was very painful, accompanied
by smothering sensation and faint
ness.
Dyspepsia, also, came to make life
harder to bear. took all sorts of pat
ent medicines but none of them helped
me for any length of time.
1.-THE doctors frequently told me
that coffee was not good for me; but
without coffee I felt as if had no
breakfast 1 finally decided about
years ago to abandon the use Of cof-
fee entirely, and as had read great
deal about Postum | concluded to try
that for breakfast beverage.
II liked the taste of 1t and was par
ticularly pleased to notice that it did
not come up as coffee used to. The
bad spells with my heart grew less
and less frequent, and finally ceased
altogether, and I have not had an at
tack Of sick headache for more than
year. My digestion is good, too, and
1 am thankful that I am once more a
healthy woman. I know my wonder
full restoration to health came from
quitting coffee and using Postum"
Name given by the Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
There's a reason" and 1t IS this
Coffee has direct action on the liver
with some people, and causes partial
congestion of that organ preventing
the natural outlet of the secretions.
Then may follow biliousness, sallow
skin, headaches, constipation and final
ly change of the blood corpuscles
and nervous prostration.

BRAID TRIMMING IN FAVOR
Seen on Nearly All the New SUITS
Oriental Embroidery Also
Is Popular.

In nearly all the new suits the IA
vorite trimming is braid, especially
the wide braid, which sometimes
forms the collar, cuffs and revers and
trims the skirt as well. Panels OF
braid coming down the front and back
Of the jacket and continued in the
same way on the skirt, are distinctly
the thing.
Narrow braid is also very smart es-
necialiy when worked out in orna-
mental designs on the skirt and coat.
A touch of color is added by Oriental
embroidery on the collar, sleeves
and revers. There is merely hint
Of this. and it is not allowed to be-
come too prominent in the color
scheme.
Buttons are also very much in evil
dence. some of them of the same color
as either the suit or the trimming, or
as both, and some of them silver or
gilt. These latter are very small, quite
tiny. in fact

Use Fish for Arguments.

There was a prosperous delegation
of Jones island fishermen before the
senate state affairs committee to ar
que for the bill permitting them to
use nets of 21a -inch mesh. The pres
ent law requires a net of 2% inch
mesh, and the fishermen are re
quired to throw back all the trout
they bring up. The proposed law per-
mits them to retain one-sixth of the
trout catch and all the herring and
other fish they get

resented the twenty-five or more
hardy toilers of the sea and in making
his argument before the committee
the men who go out in lake tugs
came to his aid with the most en-
phatic arguments. Displayed on the
large table were hundred fish Of
various sizes to prove the arguments
one way or another, while a United
States geodetic survey map was used
for study in determining the shoals
and deep places in Lake Michigan
from Racine to the foot of the lake.

Routing Disease In Badger State.

There are $500 cases of typhoid in
the state of Wisconsin every year
and it has been figured out that each
costs the state approximately $4,000
On the average ten per cent. prove ia.
tai and that means that every year
nearly $50 persons-almost enough to
populate a village as big IS Cameron,
Red Granite, Fremont or Viola-are
killed by this disease alone.
1t used to be thought that typhoid
was a visitation from Providence.
against which man was powerless
The state hygienic laboratory at the
University of Wisconsin in Madison
is doing as much as any other institu
ton in the state to combat typhoid
and all other contagious diseases. If
the plans of the laboratory are real
lied, ten years hence an epidemic of
typhoid will be an unknown thing.
BY putting competent sanitary chem
lists and engineers in the field. the
laboratory hopes to get an analysis of
the water in every community larger
than a village in the entire state. OF
course, this work will go slowly, but
when it is done, working basis for
further effort will be secured.

Declares Beauty Is States Great Asset

"Wisconsin's greatest asset is its
beauty and it's scenery" said Jenkin
Lloyd Jones of Chicago to crowded
assembly chamber, when he adj
dressed a public hearing on the use
Of schoolhouses as social centers,
and the great value Of public play
grounds. wisconsin is the natural
playground of the great Mississippi
valley" continued Mr.. Jones. "Chi-
cago must use it and Chicago has lots
Of money. That's tip" Mr..
Jones made a special plea for more
attention to the recreation of the
mothers and fathers and the boys and
girls on the farms of Wisconsin. Cali
this talk of noted educators to return
to the farm because that is the de-
lightful place to live is bosh," he said.
II know how little poetry and how
little play there is about farm life.
I've been there. 1t is place Of awful
monotony. I make special plea for
the pa lent mother, the hum drum ia
Their, the tired girl and the weary boy
on the Wisconsin farm. Give them
places to play to inject into their
daily existence the JOY of living. Let
the state purchase and maintain its
beauty spots"

IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment by
Taking the Order of the Court
Too Literally.
At druggists in

A droll incident is reported as hav-
ing taken place In one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts In France. a
boy, about IA. was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter.
He wore long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and hat
were unquestionably those of a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such a manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula in
viting him, Comparative dams les af-
flares de son pere." (To appear in
his fathers suit)

A fierce debate on spring shooting
of ducks was halted in the assembly
while Mrs. Bertha Kunz Baker, a
noted Chautauqua reader of decade
ago gave a recitation of Kipling's
"L'Envoi."
The occasion was the visit of Mrs.
Baker as a member of a party of the
atrical people here who came to op-
pose the child labor bills, which pro-
hibit children under sixteen from APP
pearing on the stage. The hearing
was held in the assembly parlor Just
off the chamber and several news
paper men conceived the idea of
interrupting the debate by having
Mrs. Baker occupy the rostrum in
the chamber for a few minutes. It
was easily arranged and the spec
tacle of the woman addressing a
house of the Wisconsin legislature
during a session was witnessed for
the first time since the Civil war,
when Julia Ward Howe was the at
traction.
The moment selected for her ap-
pearance was while the sergeant had
been sent out to gather in missing
members for a roll call on the bill.
After she had finished, the debate
started afresh and continued for an
hour, the roll call having been for
gotten. The assembly then ad-
journed for the day with half of two
calendars still uncared for.
