NEW LIGHT S< ED.

For the first time In the history Of
the temperance controversy we are
able to challenge the statement that
moderate drinking Is a safer and
position, and more heroic and influen-
tial officially than total abstinence.
This convenient theory Is nov practi-
cally disproved by the discovery that
small doses of alcohol. far short Of in
ducing the signs we are accustomed
to associate with drunkenness, set up
insidious, but nc less serious. symp-
toms Of disease. 1t is now we'll recog-
nized that a man may pass out Of life
with the reputation of a sober and
blameless citizen. and ven in the
''odor Of sanctity," who has shortened
his days and induced the fatal disease
by slow poisoning with alcohol.-Dr
Alex. Walker, J. p, Edinburgh.

and comfort in hitting upon the right
thing to rid one Of the varied and
constant ailments caused by coffee
drinking.
Ever since I can remember"
writes an Ind. woman, my father
has been a lover OF his coffee, but the
continued use OF it so affected his
stomach that he could scarcely eat at
times.
Mother had coffee-headache and
dizziness, and II I drank coffee for
breakfast I would taste It all day and
usually go to bed with a headache.
One day father brought home a
pkg. Of Postum recommended by U
grocer. Mother made it according to
directions on the box and 1t just hit

We found that its continued use speed

That was at least ten years ago
and Postum has. from that day to
this, been a standing order OF fathers

When l married, my husband was
a great coffee drinker. although he
admitted that 1t hurt him. When /
mentioned Postum he said he did not

DECREASING.

Right understanding Of the Internal
report, 1t is pointed out. explains the
apparent inconsistency between al
legged increased consumption Of liquor
and increased temperance area. Such
understanding is that the figures r
based upon the number Of gallons
withdrawn from the government ware
houses, not upon the actual amount
consumed. Phe utterances Of liquor
journals continually strengthen this
position. In a recent issue Midas
Criterion, speaking Of the expected
business conditions, tells US editor
tally that the problem of the sur
plus produced In the previous three
years will still remain an incubus on
the market" 1t says, moreover, that
from reliable information received
from distillers, production during the
months of March and April will show
a very material decrease from the fig
ures of last year, and a still further
decrease during the months Of May
and June"

Him Being Crooked7"


Gov. Brewer returned from Browns
Wells. where he spent the day and
where also he made a speech. Judg-
ing from reports which have reached
here. the chief executive touched off
some fireworks. 1t is stated that he
flayed Lieut.-Gov. Bilbo, Senator
Hobbs and the Issue, which has fierce
" assailed him and his official acts.
He flatly denied the statements in
the Issue that he had influenced or

county grand jury for December,
1918, which indicted Hobbs and Bilbo.
He furthermore denied the allegations
which have been made that he had
Influenced and dictated to the judi
ciary in any way in connection with
the trial of Hobbs and Bilbo.
Referring to the triumvirate which
attracted his lightning-Bilbo, Hobbs
and the lssue-the governor said, in
part:

Hobbs W testimony, got any doubt
