Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cot.
fee, even after they know It is doing
them harm, is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum is properly made and
used instead. A girl writes:
Mother had been suffering with,
nervous headaches fer seven weary
years, but kept on drinking coffee.
One day | asked her why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin or mine
had done who had taken to Postum.
But Mother was such a slave to coffee
she thought it would be terrible to
give it up.
Finally, n day. she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One morning

On his deathbed John PARROT, a null

MANUFACTURER
PREDICTS CATTLE FAMINE
J. Harry SELF of Chicago Says
United States Must Have
More Cattle at Once.

Considerable interest and alarm is mani
fest all through the United States over the
cattle situation. Those who have been
making a study Of this and are in posi-
ton to accurately forecast the condition
in this country take . very serious view
OF the matter.
j. Harry SELF, president OF Selz, Schwab
a Co., large shoe manufacturers of Chi
cago, who are probably among the largest
buyers and users Of fine leather, in an in
terview yesterday stated that the short
age Of cattle was the greatest menace this
tance Of this" said Mr.. selE, "csn hardly
be perceived by the average person at the
present time, and they will only realize
what it means with relation to the high
cost of living when it il too late to re-
lieve the situation and the mischief has
been done. Meat will Be higher. and, Of
course, that affects the price Of leather
and likewise the price Of shoes. If the
population continues to increase for the
next six years in the same proportion that
1t has in the last six years and the cattle
supply keeps on diminishing in the same
proportion, there viii b only four head
of cattle to every ten people. This il just
one-half the number Of cattle in proper
ton to the number Of people that there
were twelve years 60.
IF this question wers thoroughly under
stood by the rural community and imms-
date action were taken towards more cat
tie raising, the situation would be some
what relieved. We are slaughtering our
cattle. and especially the calves, ruthlessly.
without giving any thought to the future.
Every farmer in this country ought to be
encouraged to double, treble or quadrupls
his supply. In my opinion cattle raising
will not only prove profitable in the next
few years. but almost . nationwide nsces-
sity. ! am speaking not only from the
hide end of 1t, but from the food supply.
IF the government would pay mors
attention to the conservation Of cattle
and less in pickering about things that
don't concern them, II would bs . great
help to the country in the snd. II may
sound foolish to some people If the gov
eminent would pay . bounty on every
head of cattle raised, but 1t would be bet
ter expended than for . lot of public build
ings in out-ofths-way places.
They talk about turning to South
America for their supply and even Ar
g~entina, when only . few short years
ago the cry went out that America could
feed the world. South America cannot
supply IA with good cattle. They don't
take care Of them down there. Argentina
has it's hands full supplying other coun
tries. The only other large cattle rails

colonies consume tAis psednet."

went through the same grind as q con-
victed felon. In reply to a question
he said he was ready to take all his
medicine" and would not balk ut the
dungeon should his conduct Mt any
time justify his incarceration there.
The results Of the study are to be EN-
bodied I'm a report TO be made by the
commission that is studying prison re-
form with a view to legislation next
year.
Chairman Osborne spoke to the con
victs In chapel and said In part:
"As chairman of the commission on
prison reform appointed by Governor
Sulzer the superintendent Of prisons
and Warden Rattigan have kindly CIV
en- me permission to carry out a plan
to determine the psychological effect
OF the prison system on the prisoners.
IL sympathy and understanding from
a vivid personal experience are desira-
bic to studying. say, some foreign
country, they are ever more necessary
In the case OF a group of men set apart
by society such as this prison com
munity. For In your cases the condi-
tons under which you live are more
unnatural and less easy for most per-
sons to grasp than those of q foreign
country.
Moreover, most Of the books that
have been written about you by so
called 'penologists' are written largely
from the outside standpoint and with
so little intelligent sympathy and vital
understanding that few are OF real
value. They seem to be based on the
assumption that the prisoner is no a
human being like the rest of us, but is
a strange sort of animal called a
criminal, wholly different In his In
~stincts. feelings and actions from the
rest OF mankind.
II want to find u whether our
prison system Is unintelligent; whether
It flies In the face Of all common sense
and human nature, as / think 1t does:
whether, guided by sympathy and ex-
perience, we cannot find something far
better to take its place. as l believe we
can.
Il am coming here to learn what ]
ran at first hand. In the court of con-
science / have been found guilty Of
having lived many years Indifferent to

John Ireland was born In Ireland.
The name, uncommon in these days. is
an old n In Irish history. Kilkenny
Is the place of his birth. He came to
this country with his parents I'm 1S49.
Eventually the Irelands made the state
Of Minnesota their home. Very early
In life he showed a desire to become a
c~hurchfhan. After an elementary edu-
cation In the schools Of Minnesota he
was sent to France, where he studied
the classics and theology. Returning
to this country, he was raised to the
priesthood In 1862 by the Right Rev.
Thomas L. Grace. then bishop Of st.
Paul.
At the beginning Of the civil war he
was sent as chaplain to the Fifth regi-
ment Of the Minnesota volunteers.
Later he became, In turn, pastor OF the
cathedral at st. Paul, coadjutor bishop
Of that diocese and, on the death OF
Bishop Grace, the actual ruler. The
church in the far west grew stronger
under his administration, and eventu-
ally st. Paul was made an archdiocese
with Ireland as its archbishop. His
fame az an orator and publicist was
widely known at this time.
A temperance advocate. the arch
bishop has given little or no quarter
to the saloons or saloon keepers. The
saloon became a leading question In

II have ascertained from my exam
nation of the tablets that priests had
a school In the temple 1T Nippur as
early as 300 II. G. and that this school
existed about a thousand years." said
DIR. Langdon.
ITO these priests is due the l~iturgical
system which spread throughout Baby
ionia and Assyria and Influenced Greece
and Rome. They were opponents OF a
great university, the most important
center OF learning. / believe IT was the
first school of learning. and for that
reason the University OF Pennsylva-
MAS collection, which discloses the
presence OF this university, IL OF the
greatest value to scholars.
THE discovery will establish more
clearly In the minds Of scholars the
fact that the origin of religious orders
existed In ancient antiquity and that q
very important religious order existed
at the temple near Nippur."
