COFFEE THRESHED HER.

did not get much relief.
Il never suspected that coffee might
be aggravating by condition. Tea is
just as injurious, because 1t contains
caffeine, the same drug found in cof-

couraged, but prayed daily that l
might find something to help me.
Several years ago, while at a.
friends house l drank cup OF Post

anything more delicious.
From that time on / used Postum
instead of coffee and soon began to-

like Postum, 1t was so weak and taste
less.

The report OF Public Printer DON
nelly discloses the interesting fact
that che sales of postal cards last
year fell on more than 510.642. 900.
compared with the previous year. The
government printing Office supplied
1,2so,s95.s4o postal cards in 1911 to
meet public demands. whereas only
77o,253.399 were ordered. for this year.
The explanation is found In the vast
increase In the use Of the souvenir
post card, but the revenue OF the gov
eminent has really been increased by
this discrimination. as each souvenir
card requires one-cent stamp. The
increase in revenue is derived by the
enlarged sale Of one cent stamps. the

than the postal card.

After RusseiIs Scalp.

AS yet the senate has taken no ac-
ton towards confirming the appoint
ment OF Il. c.. Anthony, of Negaunee,
who had been selected by Governor
Ferris for another term on the Mar
quette prison board. Anthony's ap-
pointment is still in the hands of the
senate committee on executive bust
ness and will not be reported out un-
til the governor says the final word.
Rep. Holcomb and the other members
OF the committee which visited Mar
quette prison informed the governor
that although Mr.. Anthony had appar-
emily given considerable time to the
affairs of the institution they did not
believe that he had used his authority
enough and that he had left too much
to the warden.
1t is known that there are some
members of the legislature who do not
want Anthony appointed again, as they
believe that with another new man on
the board of control they will stand
some chance of getting Warden Rus
sells scalp, Senator Ogg and Senator
Straight are vigorously opposed to

effect involves some question, but the

WHAT IS THE TROUBLE Z
Why The Delay In the United
States Mail?

On the first day of July the con
tract of the Eastern Shore Develop
ment Steamship Co. for carrying the
mails between Annapolis and Cam
bridge became effective. This con-
tract superseded the contract of
the Baltimore, Chesapeake and At
lantic Railway Co.. which company
had, for many years, been carrying
the mail between Baltimore and
Cambridge
The mail is carried from Balti-
more to Annapolis over what is
known as the Short Line. The first
night that the Eastern Shore line
brought the mail, it was necessary
to hold the boat more than an hour
waiting for the mail; the second
night it was necessary to hold it
still longer; last night the boat
waited until after two O'Clock, and
was finally compelled to leave with
out the mail.
The E. S. D. Co. cannot afford
to wait for the mail because of the
injury resulting to its business from
being late. But it does seem rath-
er strange that some means of dis
patching this mail so as to reach
Annapolis at a regular hour can
not be arranged. United States
Mails, as a rule, are supposed to
leave upon regularly arranged sched-
ule times, not in a haphazard, hit
or miss sort of manner.
Just where the trouble is seems
little difficult to find out at
this time, but the matter should be
investigated, and if it continues as
it is at present. patrons of the
Cambridge postoffice will be COM
PEELED to file a complaint with the
Postoffice Department.
