Have Remained Practically
Unchanged Since 1870.

Washington, May 13.-President Taft
has taken a decided step toward the
r~evisions of the patent laws which a
remained practically unchanged since
1870. He sent a special message to on-
gress asking for legislation to author
lie him to appoint q commission to In
vestigate the patent laws and report
what changes were necessary to make
them At modern conditions.
The president gave several reasons
to show the need for a change. He
referred to the recent patent monop-
oly' decision of the supreme court,
throughswhich users Of = certain ma
chine were compelled to buy from the
company which sold the machine O.
certain kind of ink for use with 1t and
enumerated Ave other reasons which
he said demanded the revolution Of the
patent law.
First was that large corporations
bought patents for improvements and
suppressed their manufacture.

"never receives the benefit of such In
ventions during the life OF the pat
emit"

after close questioning that there was
a rush on life boat No. 10, and that
she left the Titanic with only four or
fve women and three children. while

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi,
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A. physician speaks of his own exre-
rience:
II had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although I had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains CAT
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and Is Just as harmful as ~coffee.)
Finally n day a severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time I have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except ON one or
two occasions when / tried q small
quantity of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me / must let
1t alone.
when we began using Postum It
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make 1t according to directions
but now we put q little bit of but
ter In the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full Is minutes
which gives 1t the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
II haye advised q great many of
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum, In fact I daily
give this advice" Name given BY
Postum Co., Battle Greek. Mich.
Many thousands OF physicians use
Postum In place OF tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe 1t to
patients.
