MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft
er day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post
UNI instead of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
IT had drank coffee for about twenty
years, and finally had what the doctor
called coffee heart / was nervous
and extremely respondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, had
kidney trouble and constipation.
1.-THE first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
Then / became less respondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
Il am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. formerly
did mental work and had to give it up
on account of coffee, but since using
Postum am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before"

Creek, Mich.

trated form called Instant Postum. 1t
Is regular Postum, so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions

DESIGNED HER OWN ROOM
How One Girl Carried Out Ideas as to
the Furnishing and Col
orlnq.

Her brown study was the name a
girl gave to little room she had
made into a snuggery Of her own,
where she could read and work and
have cozy chats with her friends. 1t
was the brown study because brown
was the prevailing color, enlivened
with yellow. This girl did most of the
work herself, tinting the walls soft
yellow tan, with a picture molding
painted cream color near the ceiling.
The floor was stained slightly dark
er shade than the walls, and on it we're
laid rag rugs of browns, tans and vel
lows. The girl braided these rugs
from white material she had dyed her
self so that they would be just the
shades she wished.
So far it was all plain brown, cream
and buff Now for variety and color
she chose a Powered cretonne with a
design of little yellow roses. With
this she made slip cover for little
low rocker, valance for the top OF
her window with side curtains just to
the sill, a curtain run on brass rod
instead of her cupboard door which
she had taken off, and slip cover for
her lounge. She preferred the slip
covers for her chair and sofa because
they could be sent to the wash occa-
sionally, so keeping her room fresh
and bright. She framed an oblong mir
ror in the yellow rose cretonne, and
painted a bureau, a small kitchen
table. and two kitchen chairs in cream
colored paint. On the table she placed
her blotter with it's dull-brown cor
ners and over the table hung her book
shelves, we'll filled. Then she felt she
had a room to enjoy.

DEMAGOGUESSES

Our faith in tie efficacy of
woman suffrage has suffered a
rude shock. We have been will
ing to believe that the women
fortunately most of them not
in our midst-who were clam
oring for the vote actually
were intent upon the accom-
plishment of civic reforms,
which they believed could be
brought about by their influ-
ence expressed at the ballot
box. We had no idea that the
masculine bane of demagogy
had or could have any place in
the ranks of the suffragettes.
But it looks as if we were
mistaken. There seems to be
some demagoguesses among
the suffragists. For instance,
the other night in Washington
one of the advocates of "the
cause" told her audience of wo-
men that the work she had done
in the interest of votes for wo-
men had made her ten years
younger. Think of it If that
is not the adroit plea of a most
cunning and consummate dema-
goguess, we are much in error.
The speaker knew her hearers.
She knew that the tempting
bait she was offering-the idea
that women would be made
younger by espousing the cause
was in the nature of decep-
tion and was rank demagogy.
But she was willing to use that
sort of reasoning to gain re-
cruits for "the cause"
We had begun to look with
favor on the cause, but frankly,
our ardor has been dampened.
The same kind of suffragette as
the one who spoke in Washing
ton, if engaged in agitation in
South Carolina, would Jump on
the railroads, and the newspa-
pers, and the corporations gen.
orally. Her tactics would be
considerably like those of the
demagogues whom we have
with us always. Then what is
the advantage of fleeing from
the demagogue, via the suffra-
gette route, only to find our
selves in the midst of the sub
tier and more persuasive politi-
cal tribe of demagoguesses =

THE UNREST

Many people, upon reading of
the robberies, murders and
other grave crimes which are
daily occurring throughout our
state eXcIaim: "The world is
growing worse" Such inter
prefers of present-day events
are thoroughly satisfied that
they have spoken sound doc
trine. They sigh and moan and
shake their heads. They have
not realized that there may be
yet another explanation. We
believe there is. The preeent
upheaval, bad as it appears, is
logical and will lead to a higher,
cleaner civilization. The unrest
and lawlesSness is one of the
results Of the moving of the
great, undeveloped and unskill-
ed body of humanity. There

RATHER THAN HAVE

Atlanta Special to The Co
lumbia Record, Feb. 10: Rather
than face the possibility of get
ting into an undignifed squab-
BILE with Governor Cole l..
Blease, of South Carolina, the
Old Guard of Atlanta, which is
planning a trip to cities of the
North and East, has decided to
forego the pleasure of visit to
Charleston on the return trip.
Thereby hangs an interesting
story. When the Peace monu-
ment was unveiled here, spe-
cial invitation was sent to one
of CharlestOn'S distinguished
and historic military organiza-
tiOns. The Charleston warriors
were planning to come to At
lanta, when summary orders
were issued by Governor Blease
that the Carolina troops must
not Cross the state line into
Georgia. 1t is doubtful if an
other such order had been is
sued since the civil war, but the
Charleston troops didn't come,
and the Old Guard, though an
armed force" only in a figura-
tive sense, has decided not to
enter South Carolina at all.

life did the thinking and voting
for a whole community. Now
a-days the whole community is
beginning to think, and there
fore, to vote; or rather express
its own and not another's will
at the polls. That this new
found liberty should often de-
velop into license is no strange
thing. 1t is one of the logical
outgrowths of such condition.
After a time the froth and
foam will have cleared away
and the body beneath will have
gained immeasurably in intelli-
gence, self-control and power.

is not growing worse. 1t is find

ideas may be sadly shaken up
and that you may have to read
just yourself to the changes,
but whether you do or don't will
make little difference. Slowly,

MADERO ARRESTED:
FORCED TO RESIGN
General Huerta, Federal Lead
er, Proclaimed Provisional
Observation-Disclosures of Cab
met Also Under Arrest.

freSl0ent-MemD OF Cab
met Also Under Arrest.
Mexico City, Feb. 19.-Fran-
cisco l. Madero has been forced
out of the presidency. He was
arrested at the national palace
shortly before 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon by General Blan-
quet.
General Victoriano Huerta,
commander of the federal
troops, was proclaimed provis-
ional President.
About the time Madero was
arrested by Banquet, his broth
er, Gustavo Madero, the former
minister of finance, was arrest
ed by General Huerta, who was
dining with him in public
restaurant.
All members of the cabinet
were promptly placed under ar
rest with the exception of
Ernesto Madero, uncle of the
President, who is minister of
finance. He was apprised of
the intentions against the gov
ernment and managed to make
his escape.
Notwithstanding the fact
that some definite action was
expected yesterday the coup d.
etat at the palace caused a SEN
sation and the exact status of
affairs could not be ascertained
for several hours. The direct
movement against Madero was
the result of a plot which had
been brewing since Monday and
which possibly existed with
Banquet for a much greater
length of time.
From the first it had been
known that General Banquet
was unwilling to fight. His
men were of the same mind. He
held complete command over
them and it was not doubted
that they would follow him in
any adventure as they did at
the national palace yesterday
afternoon.
The forces numbering 1000
men, which arrived late Mon
day, were sent Immediately to
the palace, ostensibly to relieve
the reserves there. The re-
serves were sent into the field.
An agreement between General
Banquet and General Huerta
was reached Monday night but
he first intimation that Blan-
quets meE had of the new role
they were to play was shortly
before the successful stroke
was made. Banquet drew up
in order and delivered a stirring
speech.
This inhuman battle must
end" he said. THE time has
come when some drastic means
must be taken to stop a conflict
in which father is killing
son and brother is fighting
against brother; when non
combatants are sharing the
fate of war, and all this because
of the caprice of one man"
Banquet then issued orders
for the arrest of the President
and assigned a detachment to
that duty. Madero was soon
prisoner in his own rooms.
One reason given for the at
tidue of General Banquet from
the beginning was the presence
of his son in the ranks of DiaZ.
When the arrest of the Presi-
dent and his ministers became
known crowds gathered in the
streets through which they pa
raded shouting "vivas" for
Huerta and Diaz.
A conference was held be-
tween the representatives of
these generals and an agree
ment was reached whereby the
appointment of General Huerta
to the provisional presidency
