KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
For a Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi.
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expe'
rience:
II had used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although / had palpitation Of the
heart every day. (Tea contains caf-
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful as coffee)
Finally one day severe and al
most fatal attack OF heart trouble
frightened me and gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead, and
since that time / have had absolutely
no heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when ] tried small
quantity Of fee,which caused severe
Irritation and proved to me must let
it alone.
feWhen we began using Postum it
seemed week-that was because we
did not make it according to directions
but now we put little bit Of but
ter in the pot when boiling and allow
the Postum to boil full 15 minutes
which gives it the proper rich flavor
and the deep brown color.
II have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave on
coffee and drink Postum, in fact / daily
give this advice" Name given Dy

Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee In
their own homes and prescribe It to
patients.

WOMAN'S W.T. WINS
COWS CONDEMNED ARE SAID TO
BE o. KID AT STOCK YARDS
BY INSPECTORS.
MRS. DURAND's LITTLE JOKE
Says Arthur Meeker Used Govern
ment Beef inspection in an Effort
to Destroy Her Dairy Business
Regarded Her as Rival.

Washington, May 1.-THE exist
ence of conspiracy between the beef
packers and the government meat in
spection service was alleged here last
Friday when Mrs. Scott Durand, a
noted society leader and philanthropy
list of Chicago, filed sensational evil
dence with Representative Nelson of
Wisconsin in a statement relating
how Arthur Meeker of Chicago, gen.
eral manager of Armour & Co. and
himself clubman and society leader
known in two continents, utilized the
meat inspection service of the United
States department of agriculture in
an effort to put her famous dairy,
Crabtree Farm, out of existence be-
cause he regarded her as rival.
In addition, the statement Of Mrs.
Durand shows how, by her woman's
wit, she is alleged to have trapped
the government meat inspectors sent
by Meeker to condemn her herd,
and how they actually inspected
and passed for Armour & Co.'s
warehouses cows which they had
condemned as tubercular on her farm.
So important is the testimony offered
by Mrs Durand that she has been
summoned as a witness, and she will
take the stand early next week.
Mrs. Durand charges that Meeker
boosted che would put me out of
BUSINESS" that government inspectors
from the Chicago stock yards con-
demned ten of her seventy cows which
had been frequently tested by veteri-
narians and which had taken her five
years to select; that they ordered
them killed; that she sent them Sc
cretly to Armours plant and the in
spectors, not knowing they had pre-
viously condemned the animals,
thereupon passed them for food.
Mrs. Durand has utilized her wealth
to pursue but one hobby-the opera
ton of model dairy and the distribu
ton of pure milk. Crabtree Farm Is
located on the shore of Lake Michigan,
north of Chicago.
Never before in any controversy
involving the relation of government
officials with the interests have
charges been made by persons, one
against the other, of the social promi-
nence of Mrs. Scott Durand and Ar
thur Meeker.
Coincident with the filing Of her
statement, it became known that the
packers, alarmed at the certainty that
the house committee on expenditures
will recommend thorough investiga-
ton of the conspiracy between the
meat trust and the meat inspection
service, are bringing every pressure
to bear on members of the house to
block the inquiry. A number of mem
bers of the house have received fran
tic inquiries from the packers urging
them to vote against it, and lobbyists
have been busy for week.
The charges made by Mrs. Durand
were sent direct to Representative
Nelson to be used as part of his argu-
ment before the committee, on his res
olution to order the investigation.
Mrs. Durand first telegraphed Mr.
Nelson that she had some information
about the operation Of the service at
Chicago, and he asked her to forward
it. Mrs. Durand then mailed her
statement.

Which Of the happily married cou-
pie should be the cook, assuming that
the income Of neither is sufficient to
warrant the hire of such a necessary
piece Of household furniture? The
question has come up before the Chi
cago courts and they have met it with
courage, or one of them has. 1t seems
that one Burt Harkin was charged
with disorderly conduct, says the
Charleston News and Courier. He had,
in fact, been drunk. This he admit
ted, but claimed that the circumstances
were Of such an extenuating nature
that he ought to be discharged. For
some time" said he, 1--WE been taking
care of our house and cooking meals
for my wife and myself The work
was uninteresting and it got on my
nerves. | was mighty glad to get a
drink and forget my troubles" The
judge looked wise. Discharged" said
he laconically. A number of questions
naturally arise. But the salient point
Is the cooking. Is there really any
reason under the sun, except custom,
why the man should expect his wife
to be the cook? 1t is not recorded
that Eve dressed the beef, but we do
know that Adam roasted her just after
the exodus from the Garden Of Eden.
Here was a man who plainly did not
go out and work for an income. Why
should he loaf about the house while
his wife attempted to economic on
gas? To be sure he got tired of it,
but probably she was just as tired.
We really fear that the Judge has set
a bad precedent Suppose the women
take it into their heads that they have
a right to get intoxicated just because
they get tired of frying Goldfish.

In. Paris, the police dogs have now
been given official rank and attack on
one of them is classed as resistance to
lawfully constituted authority. The sit
uation has its element of humor, but
as matter Of fact, their protection
as regular members of the police, has
been found necessary to SAGE them
from the lawless gangs whom they
help the police in restraining. Still,
the spectacle of man arrested on the
charge of resisting police dog in the
discharge of his duty is novel and odd
enough to have it's ludicrous side.
