DIDN'T KNOW
That Coffee Was Causing Her Trouble

So common is the use Of coffee as a
beverage, many do not know that 1t is
the cause of many obscure ails which
are often attributed to other things.
The easiest way to find out for one
self is to quit the coffee for while,
at least, and note results. A Virginia
lady found out in this way, and also
learned of a new beverage that is
wholesome as well as pleasant to
drink. She writes:
Il am 40 years old and all my life
up to a year and half ago, l had
been a coffee drinker.
Dyspepsia, severe headaches and

continued into tie transmitter, shoy-
ing plug in and out of the switch
board three or four times, plaza one

ONE!"
Standish had gone to the first of the
numbered booths. At it's door he
paused.
Miss Kelly, said he, would you
mind taking that receiver off your
head while I'm telephoning?"
Certainly" she answered in evident
ill-temper at the slur implied by the
request.
She carefully removed and hung up
the metal crescent that held the re-
ceiver to her left ear. Standish had
closed the booth door and, from the
corner of her eye, Wanda could see
him through the glass pane, speaking
into the transmitter. But she had
barely noted the first movement of his
lips when Blake and Mark Robertson
appeared from the dining-room. She
turned her attention to them.
Blake glanced unobtrusively toward
the row of telephone booths and his
half-shut eyes lighted ever SO little as
he made out Standish's figure behind
the glass. But he made no other
sign that he noted the successful
springing of the trap he had so pains
takingly set. In fact, he was talking
interestedly to Robertson on indiffer-
ent topics.
"Tom tells me-" Wanda heard him
say, "that Grace is coming down"

Yes, sir" said Wanda; "but it'll
take few minutes to get the connec-
ton"
"All right" replied Robertson, as she
busted herself amid the labyrinth of
switchboard plugs, ''I'll wait here for
it. -
He stopped as Standish came out of
the booth and laid down bill for
Wanda to change. Robertson, the
happy light of anticipation dying out
of his face at sight of his foe, turned
his back ostentatiously upon him. Nor
did he speak again till Standish had
gone away. Then he looked around,
to find his father-in-law in eager con-
versation with the telephone operator.
WELL" Blake was saying. Gould

offended at Standish's request. mot

KILLS HIS WIFE AND CHILD
Young South Dakota Farmer Said to
Have Confessed Crime.

Watertown, S. H., Dec. iS.-After he
had beaten his wife with his fist Au-
gust Justine, a young farmer living
near Bryant, Hamline county, accord
ing to his alleged confession, struck
her with a dashboard and a tea
kettle to beat the last spark of life
from her body; then killed his eight
m~onths-old child. Neighbors discov-
cred the bodies of mother and child
lying in the kitchen of the farmhouse.
Justine told the authorities, they
say, that he was driven to insane
rage by the attitude of his wife in an
argument with him. After the double
murder the man. it is alleged, took his
three other children, aged six, three
and two years. to bed with him. At
the home of his wife's parents, to
which he drove next day, his peculiar
actions are said to have lea 10 an in

the home of his father where he was
found with the three children. He
was arrested and taken to Bryant,
but fearing a lynching the officers
have removed him to Castlewood.
Juntumen confessed the double
murder. He told the officers all the
details. He beat his wife with the
furniture, using the teakettle with
such force that it is badly denied.
He then saw the little baby crawl to
the dead body and told Tire officers
that he seized it by the legs, and

Washington, Dec. 16.-President
Wilson has ordered an investigation
by the war and navy departments OF
the satires on the administrations
Philippine policy which featured the
annual banquet last Thursday of the
Order of Cardiac, an organization of
army and navy officers who served in
the islands.
President Wilson suggested to Sec
retaries Garrison and Daniels repri-
mands for those responsible.
Secretaries Daniels and Garrison
conferred and called for a statement
of explanation from Rear Admiral
Howard and Quartermaster Aleshire,
the highest ranking officers at the
dinner
Secretary Daniels at the same time
suggested to Admiral Howard that he
decline the presidency of the order to
which he was elected last Thursday.
He also informed him that the song
Damn, damn. damn the insurrec-
tos,' which was sung at the banquet,
would never be sung again under the
present administration with officers
Of the navy present.
President Is Indignant.
The president expressed his indig
nation to members of his cabinet
after he had read published accounts
of the banquet. He felt particularly
displeased owe the travesty on the
ADMINISTRATORS peace policy and
criticism aimed at Secretary Bryan
when three six-foot models of battle
ships, borne by concealed boys, were
carried into the banquet room.
In the muzzle of the guns were
stuck nosegays and the milk white
dove was perched on each fighting
top.
They were numed u. 3. s. Fellow

Another satire was a moving pic

Filipino colonel, who time and again
escapes capture, and hardly had been
apprehended when he was made gov
ernor of a province.
The news of the proposed investi
cation fell like a bombshell in army
and navy circles.
There were hundreds of officers
present. Rear Admiral Howard told
Mr.. Daniels that they had sung
Damn, damn, damn the insurrectos
for thirteen years, and had not met
with any objection.
