Coffee probably causes more bilious
ness and so-called malaria than any
one other thing-even bad climate.
(Tea is just as harmful Is coffee be-
cause it contains caffeine, the drug in
Coffee.
A Fl. Worth man says:
II have always been of a bilious tenn
permanent, subject to malaria and up
to one year ago a perfect slave to COT
fee. At times 1 would be covered with
boiIs and full Of malarial poison, was
very nervous and had swimming In

Il don't know how it happened, but
l finally became convinced that my
sickness was due to the use of coffee,
and a little less than a year ago l
stopped coffee and began drinking
Postum.
From that time I have not had a
boil, not had malaria at all, have
gained 15 pounds good solid weight
and know beyond all doubt this is due
to the use of Postum in place Of cof-
fee, as / have taken no medicine at
all.

In the big Weber-Fields dressing

The SIS Fine.


Courtrooms are not free from 81.
perstition." a lawyer remarked. For
instance. 1t seems to be an unwritten
law of the bench hat nobody shall
ever be fined $13. In my seventeen
years experience at the New York
bar ! have seen offenders fined nearly
every other amount from 81 to $1,000,
but no Judge has ever de1ed fate by
imposing a SIS fine.
Nothing but respect for supersti
ton prevented him from doing It II
was the logical fine. Several times l
have labored in the lost cause Of UNI
fortunate clients whose fine from the
standpoint Of damages inflicted should
have been $13. but the Judge had not
the hardihood to name It.: he always
undershot or overshot the mark and
made $12 or $14."

Money for Wives
BY DOROTHY DIX.

OF course they should have this time
TO rest and play in. but as the poor know
only too well, the ease Of mind that a
little money gives Is more refreshment
than the relaxation OF the body ever is.
In way this problem of making pin
money is solved for the country women
by her chickens and eggs and butter and
bees. In the south most successful ef-
fort along this line has been made by
organizing the girls and women into what
are called tomato clubs" In these the
women are encouraged to grow fine to-
matoes. then a demonstration. employed
by the state, comes along with a scien-
tific canning outfit and shows them
how to put up the tomatoes. and these
are marketed under the name OF the
various clubs.
Doubtless the tomato clubs will soon
also be preserving clubs, and the hereto
fore moneyless country girls win be rails
ing and putting up all sorts OF small
fruits, and putting money in the bank.
But what shall the city woman do who
also needs TO make money. and has moth
Ing but tiny fiat TO work In? Is there
anything she can do at home to make
money! Is II feasible to teach her what
are called the cottage industries in
Europe? Could she be taught fine en-
broidery, or lace making, or some other
art that she could ply In the few min
utes she could snatch between her do
Imestic labors?
Whether we like II or not. the time has
come when we must face the truth that
the average man. working alone, cannot
support a family in comfort, II they are
to have anything above the bare neces-
stiles. the wife mustshelp bring in money
as weii as do the ,housework.
