"PRcUD 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
-cafeine-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.)

chivalrous In Face Of Misfortune.
At mass meeting recently in a
nearby town an old and foremost citi-
zen who clings to the sartofial style
Of years ago, was called upon for his
views on the subject in discussion. He
made a brief speech, and al he was
compelled to hurry back to his Office,
he turned to the seat next to his. on
which he had deposited his silk hat,
just in time to see q woman Sfatten
It completely by sitting on 1t.
Ever polite, his feelings were never
theless stirred. and the best he could
think Of to say under the circum-
stances was:
I'll hope you have not injured
yourself, madam" kansas City Star.

.FAVORS PURCHASE
OF The TELEGRAPH H
HITCHCOCK WOULD OPERATE AS
PART OF POSTAL SERVICE.
Would Cheaper Rates-Fifty Countries
Have Operated Lines Successfully
Wants Congress to Act.

ashington.-Acquisitio of the tele-
: graph lines of the United States by the
government and their operation as a part
of the postsS. service will be recommend
ed to congress'>sy Postmaster-General
Hitchcock.
For year or more M. Hitchcock has
had this recommendation under consid-
eration After thorough study o. the
operation of the government-controllecs
telegraph lines and postal telegraph sys-'
TENS of foreign countries, he has de-
.cided to urge the matter alpoG congress,
Should this recommendation DC adopt
ed" said Mr.. Hitchcock in a statement
of his intention, 81 am convinced it
would result in important economies and
in very materially lowering telegraph
rates than now are exacted. In ap-
proximately fifty countries of the world
notably in Great Bril- in, France, Ger
many, Australia, Italy, Sp>n Russia and
government controlled telegraphs
now are in uccessful and profitable op-
Grafton. In many of the countries they
are operated in connection with the pos
Ldi StiNlCt.
ssThese telegraphs serve an aggregate
population of $4,000, 900, and in every
instance they have been found to be of
immense practical benefit to the people,
in both promptitude and cost of the
service
sIn this country postof6ees are main
tanned in numerous places not reached
by the telegraph systems, and the pro-
posed consolidation, therefore, would af-
ford favorable opportunity for the
wide extension of telegraph facilities. In
many small towns where the telegraph
companies have offices the telegraph and
mail business could be handled readily
by the same employees. 1t is evident that
the separate maintenance of the two
services under present conditions result
In needless expense.
ssNext to the introduction of a general
parcels post, for which there is a strong
popular demand, the establishment of a
government telegraph system offers, in
my judgment, the best opportunity for
the profitable extension of the nations
postal service.
The latest census figures available in
dicate that about 100000 people are con-
nected with the telegraph companies of
the United States. The appraised value
Of the systems proposed to be acquired
would be purpely conjectured, but it is
said it would approximate $250,o0O, 900.

opiu.n tIabit Amonu Japanese.

When the Japanese came into con-
lrol Of Formosa they found the opium
habit widely prevalent, especially with
that portion of the population that
were of Chinese origin. The Japan
csc discovered that 64 per cent. of the
male population were addicted to the
opium habit.
The greatest percentage of these
were among the educated classes. In
an endeavor to elucidate the point as
to the instigation of the habit, the first
step was traced in SO per cent. of the
cases to the use Of the drug by med
ical advice.
Public opinion was at first hostile to
the attempts of the Japanese in Grad
icating the evil; but now, owing to
the judicious measures adopted, a
strong public sentiment has arisen
against the opium Dietetic and
Hygienic Gazette.

STOCK GAMBLERS PARASITES
So Says Andrew Carnegie of the Steel
Trust.

Washington.-Andrew Carnegie con-
cluded his testimony Friday before the
house "steel trust" investigating COM
mittee. He admitted that in 1900 he
had contributed $4,000 to oppose the
policy of imperialism and the annexa-
tion of the Philippines, assailed Wall
street, and branded "stock jobbers as
parasites" urged the Roosevelt trust
policy, in preference to that of President
Taft, for dealing with The trusts, and
asked congress to consider carefully that
problem.
After day of examination of many
subjects, Mr.. Carnegie was subjected to
a fire of questions which put him OH his
mettle. Chairman Stanley elected from
him an attack on stock jobbing that
probably viii influence legislation to be
proposed by the committee.
If you want, as you suggested, to
erect tablet to my memory, place in
the stock exchange this quotation of
mine that you have rnearthed Stock
gamblers are parasites feeding on values

CHURCH CONTRIBUTIONS NOW
No One Thinks of Putting Less Than
Five Cents in the Plate Now
Day Of the Penny Gone.

Everything has gone up, said Mr..
Graytop, everything. You take, for
instance, church contributions, the
money that we put in when the plate
is passed around.
Nowadays the minimum, the small
est amount that we could put in or
that we'd want to put in would be
i've cents, a nickel, wouldn't it.?
Surely; no matter who 1t was, nobody
would think of putting in less than
nickel now; but in my younger days,
before the war, the standard contri-
button of the run of respectable per-
sons Of moderate means was one cent,
a penny; and the contribution plate
was commonly called the penny plate.
In those days, just the same as
now, the plates were passed by dea-
cons or other officers of the church,
one to each aisle. OF course we had
then, just as we do now, some in the
church who had more money than 9TH
ers and these would put in more, a
half-dime or a dime or quarter or
a half-dollar, and sometimes some
body would put in bill, but silver
coins were not over numerous and
bills We're rare.
"Our folks were not rich, as a mat
ter of fact We had no money except
what my father earned, but though
we were not rich we were self-respect-
ing. Godfearing people and we always
went to church and the children went
to Sunday school. We had in our
church quite a number Of people COM
fortably we'll off and two or three who
were in those days called rich, but
there were more people like US.
"Of course we contributed some
thing more than pennies to the sup
port of the church, we paid our pew
rent at the fixed price and occasion
ally there were special calls when we
contributed more, whatever we could
afford or thought we ought to give,
but our standard, regular contribu-
tions on Sundays were in pennies. We
children took each a penny to Sun
day school. When the plate was
passed in church we put pennies in
that.
AS we grew older our father would
give more than one Of US pennies to
put in the plate and then there was
a larger contribution from our pew,
but still in those days our church con-
tribution, as | am trying to set forth,
was in pennies"

Mississippi
Legislature
LAND CORPORATIONS LOSE
BILL AGAINST FOREIGN CAPITAL
REPORTED FAvORABLY.
Six Members on Highest Mississippi Ju-
dicial Body Favored by Many Mem
bers Of the House.

Jackscn--The Evans bill, prohibiting
corporations from acquiring or holding
land in Mississippi, was favorably re-
ported to the house by the committee on
corporations. The Evans bill was substi-
tuted by the committee for the Womack
bin on the same subject
The favorable report on the bill was a
severe jolt to the corporation interests
that are eppo ing the bill, but it was a
happening of the unexpected by those
who have been following the progress
Of the measure in committee The effect
viii be to increase the intensity of the
fight. The Farmers Union members of
the legislature, of whom there are forty
nine in the senate ard house, are deter
mined to press fer an early vote, but
whether II will pass the house is an
other question.
Strong opposition to the bill has de-
eclOped in both house and if it passes
the house it viii meet with a stu55orn
contest in the senate
The legislature will not ask the sn-
preme court for an opinion on the val
Hdity of the constitutional amendment

When the senate resolution reached the
house, the lower branch lost no time in
expressing its opinion. The resc. .utlon
