WALKING for Nerves.

Thenerves suffer from want OF pure
oxygen. They run like network all
through the skin and when they are
overweight the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
II one has means or leisure, there
are plenty Of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are SO bene-
fetal as the regular daily jaunt Of four
or five miles for obtaining good COM
plexion.

The dest-oyers OF fine dramatic

Caliph Omar did not burn the ancient
library Of Alexandria. and therefore
did not have chance to say that all

Koran were superauous, and all that
disagreed with the Koran were PERM

A. Ff0ld-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas j. Webb,
Of Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which Is 1.-THE most monstrous I'M
position in the history of human commerce"
There is very slight exsggeration about this
statement. 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk Of the coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent Of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, "t0
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists"
The worst thing about this is that the eonsum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced an imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty upon
coffee I'D to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
,nery went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury of Brazil. The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
game old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
''valorization'' plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest Of the world. We are the
best customers of Brazil, and Brazil buys little
from US. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbftant price for the coffe
they use. What is the remedy?-Seatk Post-IA-

Standard statistics Of the coffee trade
show falling off in sales during the last
two yesrs of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the
Postum factories in this city show q
tremendous increase in the sale Of Postum
in like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that well.
known breakfast beverage during 1911 Is
very likely due to public awakening to
the oppression Of the coffee trust.

Girls as Messengers?
Never in Washington
Dream of Them Replacing Boys Originates in
Pittsburg, and Even Then It Was Never
Considered Serously-Reasons Why.

Girl telegraph messengers; good for
small towns. not good for Washington
and other large cities.
That is the dictum Of telegraph men of
the Capital who were asked last night
II they thought employment Of girls to
take the places Of lads, those swift-foot-
ed Mercuries. the cycling allies Of the
lightning -tongued wire.
but Pittsburg is q large city, isn't
it?" an inquiring reporter asked. And
Pittsburg Is using it!''
BE Pittsburg large or small, 1 say
girls would not do for messenger boys
a positive telegraph man said, smiling
at his own Irish" incidentally, he did
not altogether credit the report that
Pittsburg was trying OUT the mes
senger girl plan. In fact, he scribbled
a note to Pittsburg asking about 1t
before he went farther with the inter-
view.
Girls as a rule do their work better
than boys" the positive man admitted.
They are generally more conscientious
and more careful. They would not be so
apt to be distracted by collisions and
fights and fusses and other street sights.
and-so far as physical ability would
permit-they would be more prompt than
