ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out?

Along with the coffee habit has
grown the prevalent American Dis
ease"-nervous prostration.
The following letter shows the way
out of the trouble:
Five years ago 1 was a great cof-
fee drinker and from it's use / be-
came so nervous / could scarcely
sleep at all nights. My condition grew
worse and worse until finally the ply
stefan 1 consulted declared my trou-
bIes were due to coffee.
But being so welded to the bev-
erage / did not see how I could do
without it, especially at breakfast,
as that meal seemed incomplete with
out coffee.
'On a visit, my friends deprived me
OF coffee to prove that it was harm
full At the end of about eight days
was less nervous, but the craving
for coffee was intense, so went back
to the old habit as soon as got home
and the old sleepless nights came
near making a wreck of me.
Il heard of Postum and decided to
try it 1 did not like it at frst, be-
cause, as I afterwards discovered, it
was not made properly 1 found, how
ever, that when made after directions
on the package. it was delicious.
1T had a soothing effect on my
nerves, and none of the bad effects
that coffee had, so I babe farewell to
coffee and have used only Postum
! since. The most wonderful account of
the benefit to be derived from
Postum could not exceed my own ex-
perience-"

The police jury of St. Landry
parish held its shortest meeting
in a number of years on last Mop
day. The jurors realizing that
Tuesday was a legal holiday, that
being election day, decided to
rush through their work so as to
adjourn by Monday night. 1t
took onls a few hours however to
attend td the affairs of the par
ish, as there was no matter of
special ! Importance to be
discussed or settled, with the
exception Of the formation of the
Melville road district.
The bills, too, were mighty
scarce this month, many creditors
probably relying on the fact that
the jury would meet on Tuesday.
By Monday afternoon at four
o'clock everything was &C
complished and several jurors
had already left toWn for their
homes. ~

MIGHT BE CANDIDATE
FOR STATE POSITION
Lawler Is Being Urged By
Friends To Oppose Brunei
At Next Election.

1t has been reliably reported
during the past few days that
Joseph G. LAWYER, a prominent
real estate dealer Of this city,
would be a candidate for the
office of state agriculture COM
mission, against E. 0. Bruner,
the present incumbent.
When interviewed during the
week Mr.. Lawler admitted that
many of his friends from various
sections of the state had appeal
ed to him to make the race and
that if such encouragement
would keep on pouring in he
would undoubtedly submit his
name to the voters of the state.
Mr.. Lawler has been identi-
fed in every agricultural move
in this section, taking active IN
terest in anything appertaining
to the farm and his friends in
Opelousas who are urging him
to make the race feel that he is
fully competent of filling the
position.
St. Landry politicians are of
the opinion that this parish
should be given due considera-
ton at the hands of the state
politicians. This is one Of the
most influential parishes in Lou
isiana and politically speaking
it is the most important outside
of Orleans. That there will be
candidates from this parish for
various offices is a certainty as
there are already three Or -four
prominent citizens of this par
ish mentioned for several state
jobs.
Mr.. Lawler would not state
positively whether he woulo
make the race only saying I
have had such encouraging sup
port offered me by Influential
men from over the state that !
am inclined to think over the
proposition seriously"

GDEYDAN DEFEATED
BY MOOSE CANDIDATE
Judge Martin Is Victorious
In Third District Congress
sional Fight.

The Progressives' prediction
that the voters of the Sugar
Bowl section Of Louisiana would
repudiate the Democratic admin
istration for placing sugar On the
free list, has come to be true.
In the election held in the Third
District last Tuesday the Solid
South was punctured and Henri
Gueydan, the Democratic candl-
date, was able to carry only two
parishes and those by very small
majority. Lafayette and YER
million went for Gueydan by
slightly over one hundred votes.
The race in the Third District
had attracted the attention OF
the entire United States, as the
Bull Moose party had fallen Oft
considerably throughout the
Union, with the exception OF the
sugar cane section of this state.
Practically every prominent
Democratic politician in the state
with the sole exception Of Bob
Broussard, stumped the Third
District in behalf Of the candi-
dacy of Gueydan and the result
Of the election no doubt is COM
plete reputation by the semi
Republican sugar planters of the
Wilsonian policy toward sugar.
The Bull Moose candidate for
congressional honors in other
Louisiana districts were complete
Iy showed under, Estopinal and
Dupre emerging victorious by
vast majorities.
In the Seventh District the
Progressives made a very poor
showing, Overton Cade, running
against Shelby Taylor being bad
" defeated in every parish.

Missionary Notes
BY THE SOCIETY.

1t costs quite a great deal to
be a Christian in Korea.
The Koreans are a poor people.
Every fifth day is market day, in
which almost all their trading is
done and very little Of other
work. Every fifth market day
is on Sunday. 1t is a day of di-
version and which many Koreans
it is a day of great dissipation.
Humanely speaking, it is i'm
possible for a man to succeed in
any phase of business in Korea
if he lives according to the stand
ard that Christ has set.
If it were not for the sales of
these days the merchant would
have to close up his business, for
he could not pay expenses. The
Christian farmer is all but COM
PEELED to work in a kind of part
nership with his neighbors, CIV
ing labor and receiving labor in
return.
At the present stage Of the
Church in Korea people realize
all this before they are baptised
and admitted into the full men,
bership. This is calculated to
make a person consider well
what it means to be a Christian.
