BUILT A MONUMENT The Best Sort in the World.

"A monument built by and from Postum," is the way an Illinois man describes himself. He says:
 For years l was a coffee thinker until at last I became terrible suf- ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion.
 "The different kinds of medicine l tried did not cure me. and finally some one told me to leave off coffee and take up Postum. I was fortunate in having the Postum made strictly ac- cording to directions on the pkg. so that from the start liked it.
 Gradually my condition changed. The old troubles disappeared and began to feel well again. My appetite became good and I could digest food. Now I am restored to strength and health, can sleep sound all night and awake with fresh and rested body.
 ''I am really a monument built by Postum, for l was a physical wreck, distressed in body and mind. and am now strong, healthy man. know exactly what made the change; it was leaving off coffee and using Postum."

Nervous Eneruy,

In every individual. at a given time, there is limited amount of potential energy stored up in the cells of the brain. This function seems to rest in the chromatin granules of the nerve cells, and it has been shown repeat edly that liberation of nervous en- ergy, whether in response to psychic or sensory stimulus. results in a p'~- siologioal degeneration of the chro- matin sranules, and consequently the cells themselves. Obviously, pro- longed discharge of nervous energy diminishes by so much the amount left in the brain cells. Furthermore, stirl- uli of sufficient number, intensity or duration may cause exhaustion and death.

Bad Business Practice.

Tt is certainly very bad practice from business standpoint, for the states interest, that a private bank ing corporation should be used as a sub-treasury or depository for public funds without warrant or authority of law. and to the average citizen it will certainly appear from the foregoing sections that such a practice is in vi olation of the criminal statutes of Ar kansas, both on the part of the pub lie official and the banking corpora tion, and subjects them to a prison
The Spectator., 1915-07-20


 There seems to be no law against state officials dealing in state war rants. yet it is unquestionably a rep rehensible practice and detrimental to the states welfare. because it has a tendency to keep down the price of warrants, The attorney general ad- mits to us that he has purchased and furnished to the Iron Mountain rail road S6,50O in state warrants. It should be borne in mind that while the attorney general was helping the Iron Mountain railroad to get cheap state paper to pay their taxes. he is constantly called upon in his official capacity to oppose the railroad in protecting the states interest. This may not be legally wrong, but is il morally right, and is it possible that the attorney general is an exception to the statement in Holy Writ, You cannot serve two masters?'
