1t is a curious fact that in the mild
est winter on record the price Of fresh
eggs in New York should have mount
ed to an unprecedented height. But
there's a reason-at least there is said
to be. The cold storage men, 1t is
stated, have in stock no fewer than
three hundred million dozen eggs,
some of which they have held for a
long time. They are afraid of carry
ing this stock indefinitely in the pres
ent attitude of legislators toward cold
storage. Therefore they are holding
fresh eggs out of the market practi-
cally by putting a prohibitOry price
upon them, and thus creating a condi-
ton in which many people will buy
seconds" at figures that they would
regard as extortionate at any other
time. It's a great cameron the
standpoint of shrewd business, not
from the standpoint of fair dealing

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety of Ills.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
i'll, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
II am 81 years Old" she says, "have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was burden and
drag to me all the time, and about
once year my ailments got such hold
upon me that was regularly sick in
bed for several weeks each time.
II was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause of my trouble, but
I am thankful that l found out the
truth.
"Then I determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at first-for l
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length of time. made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, resolved
to continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This / did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned,
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to fresh, rosy
hue and life became blessing.
"Then thought I would try coffee
again, and did so for few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum, was return of my old
troubles.
"That taught me wisdom, and / am
now and shall be all my life hereafter
using Postum exclusively and enjoy
ing the benefits it brings me-" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.

STRIVING FOR EFFECT.

It is pitifuI to watch the struggles
Of those who in their worldly lives try
to be what they are not. To gradually
pass from a poor condition of life into
a better one is vastly different from
rushing from enc extreme to the other,
and the spectacle Of striving to keep
up too high pace is one of the most
modifying It is possible to observe.
says the Charleston News and Courier.
We gain nothing by such conduct IN
less perhaps it is the applause OF
those whose favor we may try to Gull
tivate, but even then it often happens
that those who praise are also our
severest critics. 1t would seem that
we strike the keynote Of happy life
when we play our parts naturally, not
as gaily attired puppets who dance
and twirl for the amusement Of others,
but as sober-hearted, true-souled men
and women who are content to be
what they are and who only move
across the stage Of life for some good
purpose. The only effects that are
worth striving for are those that come
to us naturally or by virtue Of our
best efforts in worthy cause. They
outlast all those other effects upon
which we expend so much time and
labor and which are at best merely
artificial. They may not be so won
derful In their color schemes; they
may not rush across our vision like
birds of brilliant hues that fit across
the blue, but they gather radiance
with the passing years. Their colors
never fade, their results last forever
and they Iinger long in the memory
of those who are so fortunate as to
have beheld their beautiful vision

The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills

END L0R!MER QUIZ
INQUIRY INTO ELECTION OF ILL
NOlS SENATOR, BEGUN LAST
JUNE, CLOSED.
DICTAGRAPH TEST is MADE
Opinic1 Is Divided as to Sheridan's
Ability as Stenoerapher-Hines on
Witness Stand, Says Girls Bride
Tale Is False.

ashington.-Hearing of testimony
in the senatorial investigation of Sen
ator Lorimer's election is concluded.
Attorney Hanecy was given permits
sion to file brief and also present a
plea of res adjudica. Final action
by the senate is not expected before
June, although the preparation of it's
report will be begun at once by the
committee.
The nature of the plea is that Sen
ator Lorimer's seat was placed in
jeopardy once before on the same
charge and that the senate decided
he was entitled to his toga. The de-
tense will plead also that no addi-
tional evidence of material Importance
was brought out at the second inves-
tigation, and that the present COM
mittee has no jurisdiction.
The investigation just ended began
on June 20. 1911. The committee has
been in session 102 days and has ex-
amined $50 witnesses 1t is estimated
that the cost of the inquiry so far as
the government is concerned is $101,-
600.
Three things engaged the attention
of the committee on the last day OF
it's inquiry-tests of the ability of
]. e. Sheridan, stenographer en-
ployed by the Burns Detective agency,
to take down a conversation heard
through a dictagraph; an apology
from Milton w. Blumenberg, who lost
his position when he denounced Sher-
idan's notes as manufactured" and
Edward Hines denial5of the story told
by Miss Sewers that he had tried to
bride her.
The dictagraph tests Of Sheridan's
ability were made under conditions
approximating those encountered in
Toronto when he made notes of con-
versation between Charles MCGOWAN,
a Hines-Lorimer witness, and two de-
tectfves.
At the conclusion of the tests the
opinion was just as much divided as
before regarding Sheridans ability to
take down a conversation heard
through a dictagraph
Edward Hines said he started to
send a telegram to his company but
changed his mind.
II went back to get the message I
had given Miss Sewers" said Hines.
"and while waiting to get her atten-
ton saw message signed by Bailey.
The substance of the message was
that the hearing had been postponed.
She looked up and asked me If was
interested in the message. l said /
was little. With that she turned
the message over.
"She gave me my message, | tore 1t
up and walked away. had no money
in my hand nor did I offer her any"

If buckwheat coal, which until a
comparatively few years ago was
thrown upon the culm banks of the
anthracite mines as worthless. is to
be boosted in price, as reported, 1t
means just that much more clear
profit to the producing companies and
operators. From an economic stand
point the utilization of what was once
a waste product is a good thing for
both the public and the producers, as
it tends to prolong the life of the an
thracite regions, but it is hard to see
what justification there can be in ex-
listing conditions for an advance in
price. Doubtless the big companies,
whose dividends range from 20 per
cent. down to 6, need the money, and
what more need be said?
