SHE QUIT COFFEE
And Much Good Came From L


II is hard TO believe that coffee
will put a person in such a condition
as it did a woman of Apple Creek,
Ohio. She tells her own story:
Il did not believe coffee caused
my trouble and frequently said
liked it so well would not quit
drinking it, even If it took my life,
but was a miserable sufferer from
heart trouble and nervous prostra-
tion for four years.
Il was scarcely able to be around
at all. Had no energy and did not
care for anything. Was emaciated
and had a constant pain around my
heart until thought could not en-
dure 1t. ! felt as though / was Ii
able 10 die at any time.
Frequently l had nervous chills
and the least excitement would drive
sleep away and any little noise would
upset me terribly. l was gradually
getting worse until finally, one day,
it came over me and / asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine so that /
could indulge myself in coffee.
so l thought l would see IL ]
could quit drinking coffee and got
some Postum to help me quit. ]
made it strictly according to direc-
lions and I want 10 tell you that
change was the greatest step in my
/ life. 1t was easy 10 quit coffee be,
cause ] had the Postum which ! like
I better than I liked the old coffee
One by one the old troubles left, un.
til now ! am in splendid health
nerves steady, heart all right and the
pain all gone. Never have any more
nervous chills, don't take any medi
cine. can do all my homework and
have done a great deal besides.
II My sister-in-law, who visited ms
this summer. had been an invalid fol
some time, much as I was. / got hel
10 quit coffee and drink Postum. Sh,
gained five pounds in three weeks and
never saw such a change in any
ones health"
There's a reason"
Ever read the above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. The
are genuine, true and full of human
interest.

and then H. T. McKown, president Of
the Brotherhood, introduced DR.. T. H.
McMichael, president of Monmouth col
lege, as the speaker of the evening DIR.
McMichael took as the theme for his
remarks Men and the Church" and
delivered a splendid address on the
obligations Of men in their relation to
church affairs. He spoke of a mans
job as it pertains to church work and
urged greater activity in those lines of
work which rightfuIly belong to men.
Following his talk Rev. ]. L. Vance
made remarks regarding the plan and
scope Of the Brotherhood and explain
ed the workings of that body. He urg-
ed the members of the Brotherhood
to do their duty at the approaching
primaries and impressed upon them
the necessity of right thinking in civic
affairs.

the statement which Judge Graves
made in substance when called by
telephone at his home in Geneseo last
night, land / met the states attorney.
l had been advised that court was ad-
journed in Rock Island and l could
not receive the report Had l done
so any indictments which the jury
might have been ready to report would
have had to be quashed on motion, on
the score'that court was not In session
I am ready to go any place the people
call me, but / cannot be two places at
the same time" Opinion of lawyers,
with whom press representatives today
discussed the situation, is that Judge
Graves position is well taken.
That the grand jury has completed
its investigation seems plausible, for
members of that body today were en-
gagged in their usual business pursuits.
States Attorney Magill said:
STATEMENT FROM MAGILL.
After being busy day and night
the work of the states attorneys Of
fee was so far completed by yester-
day morning that l conferred with
Judge Ramsay at 10 o'clock and ad-
vised him that the report of the grand
Jury would be ready to be received by
the court not later than this morning
az 8 o'clock and requested that there
be no adjournment till after that time
He told me that he would be com
PEELED TO be at Morrison this morning
and suggested that Judge Graves, who
was holding court at Aledo, be notified
to take his place. / Immediately tele
phoned to the circuit clerk and to the
hotel at Aledo and learned that he had
left for Rock Island, where / met him
at the train about to leave for Gene
SEQ.
Il asked him to come to Rock Island
this morning and receive the report
which he was willing to do, but he
said that he had just been notified tina
the court had been adjourned until mex
Thursday
Il was very much surprised to learI
of the adjournment, because haC
been led TO believe that it was full!
understood that either Judge Graves
or Judge Ramsay would be on hanC
this morning to receive the report"

WoMANs CLUB PROGRAM.

SATURDAY APRIL Is BRINGS
the last program Of the Moline Wom-
ans club, for the May meeting, while
it will have musical numbers to en-
liven it, is the annual meeting for
election of officers. Next weeks meet
ing will bring nominations of candi-
dates but it also brings a social well
fare day, with John E. Gunckel of
Toledo, Ohio, head of the National
Newsboys' association, who will speak
on work for boys, Seventeen years
ago Mr.. Gunckel, then station agent
at Toledo, inaugurated his now ia
nous work among newsboys, says W.
F. Mcclure in telling of champions
for neglected boys. Greatly interest
ed in the good he found in one ragged,
neglected newsboy he began by invit-
ing to his office a small group at a
time. Dec. %, 1902, he gave a dinner
for more than 100 newsboys, after
which he organized his association.
The boys selected their own officers
and made their own rules and have

there are now 1880 members in Toledo

On the lecture platform he makes a
great hit beside leaving a great mes
sage. As a result of his lecture In
many places branches of the associa

of membership states that the boy is
an active member for life, that he does
not approve Of swearing, lying, steal

titled to all benefits of said association

TO LIFT MARTIAL
LAW SOON after
PRIMARY IS over
Provided Day Passes Without
Disorder and Indications
Are for Peace.
TROOPS READY TO RETURN
Governor to Give Command in Case
of Further Disturbance-Wfl
Be Strict Enforcement.

In all probability martial law in Rock
Island will be lifted the middle part
of next week and the three companies
which still comprise the military here,
under Major Charles G. Davis COM
mand, will probably be given marching
orders Wednesday, provided, however,
that the primary election Tuesday slips
quietly by without sign of fuss or dis
order, and provided the spirit of the
people of Rock Island indicates that
the city no longer is in need of the
guard of soldiers. 1t is the statement
of 9th regiment officers that the regi-
ment will be instructed to be ready to
come back to Rock Island at a min
ute's command In fact, that is the
order that Governor c. S. Deneen will
probably issue through Adjutant Gen
eral F. S. Dickson.
LITTLE NEED NOW.
Sheriff o. l. Bruner will be the one
to give the command to the battalion
when the time for them to, march ar
rives. He has been left in command,
and is the one to whom Major Davis
is directly accountable. The last week
has shown that there is scarcely any
need at the present time for the mil,
itary guard, and the only reason for
holding it longer is to carry the pri
mary election safely by. AS has been
said, any disorder on that day will ne
cessitate orders for the militiamen to
remain here longer.
STRICT MARTIAL LAW.
1t was the statement of one of the
civil authorities last evening that sa
loon keepers had been informed to OBJ
serve the law to the most minute de
tail and to enforce order at all times
Any violation, it is promised, means
that the offender is dealt with with
out hedging or chance for correction
He said in regard to the recalling O
troops in case of further occasion TO
that step: IF it is found necessary Il
recall the troops to this city again
martial law, down to the core, will b,
enforced in this city. That will meal
that absolutely every dram shop mus
remain closed every minute, that al
places of amusement must be kept clos
ed, that regular hours must be obsery
ed by pedestrians, no gatherings of an
sort to be held, and all the other de
tails that go along with the order. TIL
order has not been so strict this time
merely because it was thought that a
soon as the mob spirit had subside
and people had had an opportunity t
think, all thought of mob rule woul
|, be forgotten. Another such circun
: stance will result in greater harm t
the city, and everybody knows tina
this event has done it no good"

IT is 70 he boped that tbe Dem

IT is to be hoped that the Dem
ocrats of the legislature will stand
firm against the election of Willard
Salisbury to succeed Senator Harry
A. Richardson to the United States
Senate. The Index a Democratic
paper at Dover, which is CONTROL
ed by the Wolcott and Hughes in
terests, editorially states that it be-
lieves that by electing Willard
Salisbury, the Democratic party in
Delaware will seal and deliver that
party over to defeat in this state for
years to come. 1t is claimed by
Salisbury that he has twenty of
the twenty nine members pledged
to him for election as United States
Senator from Delaware, but there
is vast difference from claiming,
and voting. The Republican Party
can watch the results of this bitter
fight with much satisfaction.
