THE OLD PLEA
He "Didn't Know It Was Loaded"

The coffee drinker seldom realizes
that coffee contains the drug. caffeine.
a severe poison to the heart and
nerves, causing many forms of dis
ease, noticeably dyspepsia.
Il was lover of coffee and used it
for many years, and did not realize the
bad effects l was suffering from it's
use. (Tea is just as injurious as COT.
fee because it, too, contains caffeine,
the same drug found in coffee)
AT first was troubled with indiges-
ton. l did not attribute the trouble
to the use of coffee, but thought 1t
arose from other causes. With these
attacks l had sick headache, nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such a condition 1 could scarce
ly retain any food
Il consulted physician was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
tion, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. kept on with
the coffee, and kept on with the trou-
bles, too, and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until it
developed into chronic diarrhea, nau-
sea and severe attacks OF vomiting.
could keep nothing on my stomach and
became mere shadow, reduced from
159 to 1913 pounds.
"A specialist informed me l had a
very severe case of catarrh OF the
stomach, which had got so bad he
could do nothing for me, and l became
convinced my days were numbered.
Then CHANGED to see an article set.
ting forth the good qualities of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured peo-
pie SO concluded to give Postum a
trial. / soon saw the good effects-my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long in
tervals and was soon a changed man,
feeling much better.
Then ! thought could stand coffee
again, but as soon as / tried it my old
troubles returned and l again turned
to Postum. Would you believe it,
did this three times before had sehse
enough to quit coffee for good and
keep on with the Postum. am now a
well man with no more headaches, sick

St. Paui.-Suit against the Interna
tIonal Harvester Company charging it
with being a monopoly in restraint of
trade and asking that ii be dissolved,
has been filed by the government in
the United States District Court here.
a petition in equity naming seven
corporations and eighteen individuals
as being the responsible heads of the
s140 000, ,o0e harvester corporation sets
forth the charge that the defendant
controls a majority of the trade in haT
yesting machinery in the United States
TO the grave injury of the farmer
and the general public"
1t asks that a receiver be appoint
cd to take charge OF the corporations
business, il the court sees fit.
Another petition asks the issuance
OF subpoenas for all defendants net
Gants, it was announced, will have
Until June 3rd to enter their plead
iugs, and the trials probably will be
set for the October term of court.
The government contends that The
corporation has eliminated eompeti-
tion by securing control of a great
I.ajority of the retail implement deal
ers in the United States, who ale
made their exclusive selling agents.
The petition says:
The opportunities for any new
competitors are constantly being
c.osed by the defendants in all lines
of agricultural implements; the ag an-
cies for distribution, the retail imp'e-
nent dealers and others are rapidly
coming under their undsputed CON
troll, and unless prevented and re-
strained, their complete, unchallenged
dominion of every branch of trade and
commerce in agricultural implements
OF all kinds may be confidently OK
pected at an early date
The government charges that the
defendants have absorbed competing
companies, but concealed their own
ership, permitting them to be adver-
t.sed 'as wholly independent aud
without connection with them, the
Trust, or any combination intenl-
ing thereby to mislead, deceive and
defraud the public and more effectu-
ally cripple existing competitors and
keep out new ones
The bill contains these charges
The defendants have resorted %
unfair trade methods: have made in
accurate and misleading statements
concerning rival machines or concern
ing the credit of competitors; have by
misrepresentation sought to indule
competitors, agents and dealers to
abandon them, and in divers air
ways have endeaVored to destroy
them, and for the purpose of destrIc-
tive competition have reduced prices
OF their machines in some localities
below cost of production and distr-
button while keeping prices up in
ether localities"

Good Roads Provision Thrown Out.
On July q the postofice appro-
priation bill, shorn of theN good
roads provision proposed by the
House, and embracing a revised
parcels post system with charges
based on zones of distance, was
reported to the Senate by the
postoffice committee.
The total appropriations pro-
posed by the bill are above those
of the House measure, which
carried approximately $3.50, 600, :
600. One of the principal in
creases is in the pay of railroads
for transporting mails, the Sen
ate committee adding more than
81, 500, 900.
In striking out the Shackelford
good roads feature of the House
bill, which provided for Federal
improvement of highways, the
Senate committee recommends an
investigation by a special COM
mission of three House members
and three Senators, and provides
for no highway improvements
until this commission reports.
This places the good roads
proposition in very coed shape,
and is said to meet the wishes Of

Mr.. John R. Hunter authorized
us to- put in his announcement
as a candidate for District At
torney of the 18th Judicial Dis
trict, subject to the Democratic
nomination. Since that time,
July 80, the Democratic Judicial
Committee has declared him to
be the party nominee, he being
the only qualified candidate, and
without opposition. This is a
deserved tribute to a worthy of
fetal, who has performed his
duties in such painstaking and
satisfactory manner that his
course is commended, and he is
selected for this important and
responsible position virtually by
reclamation.
Mr.. Hunter comes from a fami-

yers, and both by inheritance
and Industrious study and appli-
cation he has fairly won a place
among the foremost young at.
torneys Of the State. Always
courteous and affable in his so.

essentially just and kind in dis
position. At the same time he
is jealous of his integrity as ar
officer and the dischard of his
duty to the people in defending
them against the transgression'
