"PROUD AND GLAD"
Because Mother Looked So Well
After Quitting Coffee.

An Ohio woman was almost dis
tracted with coffee dyspepsia and
heart trouble.
Like thousands of others, the drug
-cGfeine-in coffee was slowly but
steadily undermining her nervous
system and interfering with natural
digestion of food. (Tea is just as in
furious as coffee because it contains
caffeine, the poisonous drug found in
coffee.)
Fol 30 years." she writes, 81 have
used coffee. Have always been sick
ly-had heart trouble and dyspepsia
with ulcers in stomach and mouth so
bad, sometimes, l was almost dis
tracted and could hardly eat a thing
for a week.
Il could not sleep for
and when l would lie down at night
I'd belch up coffee and my heart
would trouble me. 1t was like poison
to me. l was thin-only weighed 1875
lbs, when 1 quit coffee and began to
use Postum.
From the first day that belching
and burning in my stomach stopped.
| could sleep as soundly as anyone
and, after the first month, whenever
! met any friends they would ask me
what was making me so feshy and
looking 80 well.
Sometimes, before 1 could answer
quick enough, one of the children or
my husband would say, why, that is
what Postum is doing for her'-they
were all so proud and glad.
when l recommend it to anyone
I always tell them to follow direc-
tons in making Postum, as it is not
good to taste if weak, but fine when

Before using table oilcloth paste at
each corner on the wrong side a
square of cotton. This prevents the

When busting do not use a feather
buster. as this only brushes the dus

Lack of Tact.

why did you jilt Percy?"
He is lacking in tact"
why, l thought he always said
nice things?"
He does-but not always the right
things. He was protesting his love
yesterday when we passed an old
woman. I saw my cue and said:
will you love me when l get old
and look like that woman"
"Of course I will, darling!' he
cried.
so l dismissed him. The idea of
his c%onsenting to think that l could
ever get to look like that horrid old
thing"

No Broken Parts.

During the progress of the morning
bath of a few months old infant a lit
tie neighbor girl came into the room
carrying a doll and stood watching
the operation for some time. The lit
tie girls doll was much the worse for
hard usage, being minus an arm and
a leg. Finally she said to the mother
of the child:
How long have you had your
baby?"
The child was informed, and, look
ing from her doll to the baby, she
said:
my, but you have kept it nice."-

DR., Anna Howard Shaw, the lead
er of the woman suffrage movement
in the nation, is confident that the
state of Oregon will take its place
along with its coast neighbors, and
at the coming election give to her
women the right of franchise.
The great Observation-Disclosures
tor advocate of woman's cause was
listened to by an audience that filled
the opera house Friday night, and
more attentive audience was never
brought together, and a more force
full or logical plea for any cause was
never presented in the city.
Dr. Shaw handles her subject in a
dignified and scholarly manner, yet
her speech is punctured with wit and
sarcasm that serve as the seasoning
to an intellectual feast of the high
est order.
Upon the wall at the rear of the
speakers stand was a map in which
Oregon was shown in black surround
ed on the three sides by states that
had already conferred upon the wo-
men the privilege of the ballot. In
voicing her belief that Oregon would
be next, DR., Shaw said IF Oregon
does give the women the ballot she
will be following in the footsteps of
Washington, California, Idaho and
Colorado, but she will be simply
catching up with China Just think
of it. When the constitution of the
new Chinese republic was framed a
few months ago, it included a pro-
vision putting women on the same
plane with men in governmental af-
fairs, with educational qualifications
'I'll tell you why the great west
is adopting woman suffrage and the
east is not 1t is because the yirility
OF the nation, the flower OF the man,
hood and the womanhood of the ma.
tion, and the higher class of the

region, has just been instructed by
Mr.. Buchanan to proceed this win
ter with the clearing and planting of
the property purchased last fall in
the Savage creek district
Mr.. Buchanan, who is a well-to-do
citizen of that territory owns a 100
acre tract of the old Savage donation
claim located at the rapids, which he
proposes to develop into a modern
country seat to which - will remove
in two or three years. or when it has
ueen developed under the expert di-
rection of Mr. Meserye. II is the
plan to clear some twenty acres this
winter. and to plant it out to fruit
or seed to alfalfa. The place will be
irrigated by pumps electric power
being used to lift the water from. the
Rogue. and no expense will be spared
TO make model home place of 1t.
An oak grove of several acres on the
banks of the Rogue will be trimmed
ont and Handicapped and the resi-
dence and other farm buildings will
be erected there All varieties of
fruit will be planted out, as there
are parts of the farm that are espec-
tally adapted to the culture of all
the various kinds that come to such
perfection in this valley, and pears,
apples, grapes and apricots will each
be grown.

is, The government lies neither in
the gilded dome at Salem nor In the
men who sit beneath Il, any more
than the kingdom of God lies there
alone; like the kingdom of God, Il
lies within ourselves, Take us
away, and all the other uses, and
there would be no government.
Woman suffrage was defeated in
Oregon In the past chiefly through
the floating vote-that is the vote OF
unmarried and childless men, aud
men who had no permanent place OF
residence, The home owner, the per-
manent resident and the fathers, the
class who are doing the most 90
build up the community, are with us.
Give women the ballot and the float
ing vote will be outnumbered. Its
influence will go.
"The men know lots of things tn,
women do not; the women know a
lot of things of which the men are
ignorant But the men and the wo-
men together know everything. let
them vote together as they live, and
you'll take a tremendous stride to-
ward the hetterment OF government.
"In the old colonial days OF the
United States a man had to be a
member of particular church be-
fore he was allowed to vote, The
church, not the man voted Later
the revolutionary eraser was applied
and the religious qualification was
displaced by the word taxpayer;
the money, not the man voted. Sub
seQuently the revolutionary eraser
was again used and the word white
was placed before the word male,
After the civil war the eraser struck
out the word white and left the
word male unmodified, Now, al
this date the woman ask the men
to use the eraser once more. Strike
out that word male and substitute
the words good citizen 81 years OF
age or over, otherwise qualified
This would not be revolutionary II
would be evolutionary; II would he
the last step in evoklng an actual re
public out of monarchy ruled by
sex aristocracy."

SQUAw BASIN COAL u
EXCELLENT FOR COOKING

D. l.. Hilles, Of Coos county. who
recently accompanied NJ. r. Camp
bell chief of the coal department of
the United States Geological survey
of Washington, d. c., Prof Roberts.
head OF the school of mines of the
Washington State University at Seat
tie and Mr., Powell. a coal expert of
note, in their examination of the
new coal fields of SQuaw Basin. 40
miles west of Grants Pass was in the
city Tuesday. He reports that these
experts were very enthusiastic over
the coal which they coked on the
forge and otherwise experimental
with, and that it was the common
opinion that this was the best body
of high grade bltuminous coal found
in the west; or as one expressed il,
west of the Mississippi The import
ance OF this to southern Oreg on,
which only needs coke to start its
smelters, can hardly be appreciated
The proposed railroad down
Rogue river to the coast will pass di-
rectly through the coal measures
mentioned above The time will
soon come when Grants Pass will
need large amount of coal The
price is now excessive This new
road will make better coal available
at half the present price.
We repeat, that the people Of
Grants Pass should not overlook any
opportunity to assist in bringing
about direct communication with
these coal fields, which are only 40
miles away.
The efforts now being made are
meeting with success, and the com
mittee appointed by the Commercial
club, Messrs. II. c. Kinney, Z L.
Churchill and A. A. Porter, deserve
great credit.

proved a hummer and promptly
nipped the bear at the launches.
The underbrush was very thick and
Mr. Bush followed dog and bear
nearly half a mile before he could
get shot at the bear which, in the
throes OF death, seized one OF the
three dogs and ripped II so severely
that Bush was Obliged to shoot the
poor animal to put II out of It's
agony, as 1t could not possibly live.
Two mountain goats and three mule
deer we're killed on the trip; also
several fool hens and ptarmagin.
