eighteen Years ago. Nearly half Of

around my ankle: sometimes1lt would
be two years at time before they
were healed. There were many nights

suffering. The sores were deep run

bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and
sting like a lot Of bees were confined
around my ankle. ] could not bear to
scratch it, it was always so sensitive
to the touch l could not let my
clothes touch 1t. The skin was very
red. / made what I called cap out
of white felt. blotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
wore night and day.
I tried many remedies for most of
the eighteen years with nc effect.
Last summer I sent for some CUticura

LIGHT BREAKS IN
thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist il a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cot
fee are often the cause OF the cloudi-
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an eXper-
fence and tells about it, in letter. He
says:
For about forty years, | have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last %
years | would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
The best doctors / could get and
all the medicines ! could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change of climate was tried with
out results ! could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
it would jump out Of ny body
Il came 10 the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that ] was
about wound up, when | saw Postum
advertisement ] had always been
coffee drjnker, and got an idea from
the adj that maybe coffee was the
cause Of my trouble
4 began to rse Postum instead of
coffee and III less than three weeks /
felt like q new man. The rheumatism
left me, and | have never had a spell
OF bilious collie since
My appetite is good. my digestion
never was better and / can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since I be-
gan with Postum. Ny wife makes it
according to directions and relish it
as well as l ever did coffee, and l was
certainly a slave TO coffee.

tie book, The Road to Wellville.'
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonfui dissolves quickly In a
cup Of hot water and, with the addi-
ton Of cream and sugar, makes a de-
licious beverage instantly.

NO REGULATION FOR AUTOS
Madison Judge Holds That New Law
Cancels All Ordinances
Governing Motors.

Municipal Judge John
c. Fehlandt holds that under the
new state automobile law, the Madi-
son council has no authority to enact
ordinances regulating the auto traf-
hc. He also held that the new law
aboiishes all such ordinances now in
effect. This decision, if upheld by
the supreme court, will mean a great
loss to municipalities, as the fines
and costs paid by violators of the
auto laws will no longer go to their
treasures.
The case in question was that of
the city Of Madison against Justice Of
the Peace Guy P. Dodge, who was
charged with driving his auto past 4
standing street car.

State Bank Commissioner 4. E. Kuolt
to move his Office from the north wing

action OF the commission and appealed

All Of the other state officers having
quarters in the north wing moved out
Immediately after the legislature adj
journed
Several days ago the bank commits
sioner jokingly said that he would de-
fend his right TO hold his rooms with
force unless he was furnished suitable
quarters, and the capitol commission
thought that maybe he meant it. For
that reason the descent on the com
nissioner's department was made.

q check to the spreading of alfalfa
weevil, according to T. II. Parks and
James G. Sanders, plant experts re-
spectiyely to the Idaho Agricultural
College and the University Of Wiscon-
sin College of Agriculture.
The investigation of these experts
has shown that the weevil feeds on
the leaves and stems Of the plant, but
never on the seed.
Prejudice to seed from states where
alfalfa is quarantined is groundless.
Brushing and cultivation after the
first crop has been removed is the best
remedy known.

Attorneys for Cameron Dam Man
Claim His Bullet Never Killed
Deputy Sheriff Oscar Harp.

La Crosse.-New evidence which,
it is claimed, proves that John Dietz
of Cameron Dam fame, could not
have fired the shot that killed Deputy
Sheriff Oscar Harp is the basis of a
petition for pardon filed with Gov.
McGorern.
Attorneys said that they have affi-
davits from the Winchester Arms
Manufacturing company to the effect
that a bullet from the gun used b.
Dietz would penetrate sixteen inches
Of oak without doubling.
The bullet which killed Harp en-
tered his mouth and lodged in the
back of the skull, doubled up. AT
the time OF his death it was claimed
that Harp was the victim of enc
mics among the sheriff's posse.
