THE OLD PLEA
He "Dldn'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 1t
for many years. and did not realize the
bad effects was suffering from its
use. Tea Is just as injurious as cot
fee because 1t, 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 it
arose from other causes. With these
attacks / had sick headache. nausea
and vomiting. Finally my stomach
was in such condition could scarce
ly retain any food.
I consulted physician; was told
all my troubles came from indiges-
ton, but was not informed what
caused the Indigestion. kept on with
the coffee. and kept on with tho trou-
hles. too. and my case continued to
grow worse from year to year until 1t
developed into chronic dlarrhea. nau.
sea and severe attacks of vomiting. I
could keep nothing On my stomach and
became mere shadow, reduced from
l5s to 1873 pounds.
"A specialist informed me I had q
very severe case Of catarrh of the
stomach. which had got 80 bad he
could do nothing for me. and became
convinced my days were numbered.
Then I CHANGED to see an article set
ting forth the good qualities Of Postum
and explaining how coffee injured PEG
pie so / concluded to give Postum 6
trial. I soon saw the good efrects-my
headaches were less frequent, nausea
and vomiting only came on at long IN
terVals and was soon changed man
feeling much better.
Then thought l could stand cofre,
again, but as soon as tried 1t my oil,
troubles returned and l again turned

STORMS IN OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS DIFFERENT SOILS AND FERTILIZERS
ON CLIMATIC AND SEASONABLE
CONDITIONS DEPEND MUCH.
State Chemist Traps Suggests What
Will Give Results, and Leaves
It to Farmers to Determine.

College Station, Textile needs for
fertilizers vary SO much, and the Ell
feet of a given fertilizer depends to
such extent upon climatic or season
able conditions, that it is almost i'm
possible to say what fertilizer viii
give the best results. DR.. G. S. Traps,
state chemist of Texas at the 4. 4 M.
College of Texas thinks the best for
him to do is to suggest what Will
give good results, and leave it to the
individual farmer to determine what
is the best for his individual condl-
| tons.
For corn or ordinary East Texas
soil, mixture Of acid phosphate and
cottonseed meal gives good results
Equal parts make a good mixture, but
the best mixture will depend on the
nature of the soil. C0ttonseed meal
has a tendency to form stalk, while
acid phosphate tends to form fruit,
hence the poorer the stalk, the larger
proportion of cottonseed meal should
be used in the mixture, and If the
stalk IS good, then use less Cottonseed
meal. On land which produces plenty
OF stalk but is deficient in fruit, we
suggest the use of acid phosphate at
the rate of 200 pounds per acre. The
cottonseed meal-acid phosphate mix.
ture is used at the rate Of 800 to 500
pounds per acre. ANY fertilizer gives
best results when soil conditions are
favorable, good seed are used, and
good cultivation given.
1t Is doubtful If the application OF
potash to corn on ordinary East Tex
as soils pays. Many Of these soils
contain enough potash for good crops
Of corn. On badly worn sandy soils
potash may pay on corn. In such g
case a mixture Of 500 pounds aciC
phosphate, 400 pounds cottonseeC
meal and 200 pound? KANT, used a
. the rate of 800 to 500 pounds per acre
} gives good results. The fertilizer vii
! contain approximately 7 per cen
available phosphoric acid, 27 per cen
3 nitrogen and "a per cent potash.
| The fertilizer should be applied il
5 the furrow about a week before tn
planting.
