LIGHT BOOZE.
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite a tus-
sic with coffee and her experience is
interesting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
l became addicted to coffee drinking.
Between midnight and four in the
morning, when the patients were
asleep, there was little to do except
make the rounds. and it was quite
natural that I should want a. hot cup
of coffee about that time. could
keep awake better.
After three of four years of cof-
fee drinking, 1 became nervous wreck
and thought that l simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to
keep me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO l resolved TO
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit
Il began taking Postum, and for
few days felt the languid, tired feel
ing from the lack of the coffee drug,
but liked the taste of Postum, and
that answered for the breakfast beV-
erage all right.
Finally I began to feel clearer
headed and had steadier nerves. AIT

CAN'T CARE FOR THE ooNv1crs

"A naval stores operator who is one

day, fresh from Tallahassee, where
convict lessees have just had meet
ing to see If some arrangements
could not be made with the state
whereby they could be released from
the care of their convicts, at least
until there is revival in the naval
stores business The state is willing
to grant an extension on the pay

willing to release them from their
contracts to provide for the convicts

THE ONLY REMEDY

Inc Star takes the following from
the Orlando ReporterlStar:
From time to time the Reporter
Star has brought to the attention of
the public the fact that the Florida
railroad Commission was responsible
for the failure of the Long and Short
Haul Act, passed by the legislature
of 1913, to he put into effect. AL
though hearings were conducted at
several points in the State several
months ago the commission has new
er rendered any decision. The act
remains on the statute books dead
letter. In its effort to ascertain
what's the matter the Reporter-Star
asked Hon. Edwin Spencer, Jr., some
time ago to tell what he knew about
the disposition of the case. Mr..
Spencer was the author of the Long
and Short Haul Act, and represent
ed the Marion County Board of
Trade before the commission when
hearing on the Act was held in Ocala.
In a letter received today, Mr.
Spencer says:
Friend Reese: Your letter re-
ceived. L have been waiting for the
Board of Trade of Marion county to
furnish me with transcript of the
record of the testimony taken at the
OcaIa hearing before l made an effort
to write anything for publication on
the long and short haul matter. They
have promised to do this but as yet
have not done so. This testimony
would furnish you with most inter
esting insight into the situation
do not understand how any body of
men in the world could have heard
the testimony introduced at OcaIa,
even on the side of the railroad COM
panies, without making some effort
to afford relief under the long and
short haul act; furthermore, there is
no reasonable excuse why
the railroad commissioners should
not act upon the question one way or
the other. 1t is one of those i'm
