A DOCTORS EXPERIENCE
Medicine Not Needed in This Case

1t is hard to convince some people
that coffee does them an injury! They
lay their bad feelings to almost every
cause but the true and unsupported
one.
But the doctor knows. His wide eX-
perience has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee is an insidious
poison that undermines the health.
Ask him if coffee is a cause of con-
stipation, stomach and nervous trou-
bles.
Il have been a coffee drinker all my
life, and when taken sick two years
ago with nervous prOstration, the doc
tor said that my nervous system was
broken down and that would have tc
give up coffee.
Il got so weak and shaky could
not work, and reading an advertise
ment of Postum asked my grocer if
he had any of it. He said, Yes and
that he used it in his family and it

Command Major and HadIeY.

A st. Louis paper of recent date
makes the following interesting COM
parison of the careers of Governor
Major and former Governor Hadley:
1T is interesting to note how close
ly, though not Intentionally, Governor
Major has followed Governor Hadley.
Hadley, after serving q term as attor-
ney general, became governor. So
did Major. After becoming governor
Hadley gave three of his assistants
the best offices in his gift ignoring
the fourth. So has Major. Governor
Hadley first appointed Kennish insu-
rance commissioner, and later appoint
ed him to the supreme bench. He
made Frank Blake pardon attorney,
and later on made him insurance COM
missioner. To Rush Lake fell the Of
fee of coal oil inspector, while to N.
T. Gentry he gave nothing.
Now Governor Major, after making
Revelle insurance commissioner, has
appointed him to the supreme bench.
Largely through his influence Blair
was appointed to the supreme court
commission, and by the assistance Of
his administration was advanced to
the supreme bench. He made John
M. Atkinson president of the pbulic
service board.
But for J. NJ Dawson, another as
sistant he has done nothing. Dawson
will be remembered as the one who
filed for senator against Ston and
Wallace, believing the reports of the
senator's bad health, he was willing
filed for senator against Stone and
Dawson would have won over Wallace
and would now be our senator.

Quarter Million Women at Work.

Facts and figures dealing with girls
and women following gainful occupa-
tons in Missouri at the beginning of
1915, advance information from the
1915 Red Book has been given out
by Commissioner John T. Fitzpatrick
of the Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
1t is estimated that on January 1,
1915, there we're 1,385,723 women and
girls more than 10 years old in Mis-
souri,, and of these 232,T20 either were
following professional pursuits, own
ed businesses or were on salaries or
wages.
A state law prohibits boys or girls
under IA years old from being en-
ployed anywhere, and provides that
those between IA and 16 years old can
work only under certain conditions.
It is plain that the vast majority of
the working girls included in the sta
tistics are more than 16 years old.
That the majority of women and
girls in Missouri who are forced to
earn a living are still following pur-
suits given over to their sex is shown
by the fact that S8,735 were either in
domestic or personal service.
OF this numer 1864 were house
hold servants, averaging IL hours a
day of toll and earning from $12 to
$35 a month and room and board. The
lot of the average domestic in this
state has frightened considerably in
the last 10 years. Wages have in
creased, better home comforts have
been provided, daily hours shortened
and privileges granted to such an ex-
tent that many women are leaving
factories for Homework.

Barker Won't Assist Gordon.

Attorney General Barker has an
nounced that he would not represent
State Auditor Gordon in the contro-
versy between the latter and State
Superintendent of Public Schools
Gass over the August apportionment
Of state school moneys amounting to
$514,00O, which were withheld from
fees arising from the beer inspection
tax, grain inspection fees, etc., but
which heretofore have been made a
part of the school moneys.
The attorney general said that af-
ter full investigation he had de-
cided that this money belongs to the
schools and should have been so APP
portioned, and that in view of the
fact that he had recalled a former
opinion of one of his assistants, de-
livered last May, to the auditor, he
could not now represent the auditor
in the supreme court.
Auditor Gordon stated that he had
not yet received notice Of the attor.
ney generals stand here given, and
for the present time he had nothing
to say. He may employ an attorney
to represent him.
The supreme court will not meet
until October -, and accordingly no
definite move can be made before
that time.
Superintendent Gass already has
employed an attorney to represent
him.

Jefferson CITY.


Acknowledgement John T. Barker,
who is ex-officio a member of the
board of prison inspectors, expressed
establishment at the disclosures con-
corning the Oberman contract with
the state factories at the penitent-
airy and declared that he would see
that the contract is terminated at
the first meeting of the prison board.
Barker declares that although the
contract with Oberman is supposed
to have been made with the prison
board, he knew nothing of it's provis-
ions and did not dream that such ar
rangements had been made between
the board and Oberman.
Barker said he supposed the agree
ment had been made while he was
away on a ChautauQua tour.
1t was learned that instead of mar
keting the state product on a commits
sion basis, Oberman had agreed to
pay the state rs cents a day for each
convict the state worked in it's own
factory, and that he had guaranteed
to bear the expense of machinery
wear and overhead charges.
This arrangement is almost ideni-
cal with the contract by which he OPP
crates his private factory in which he
pays the state rs cents a day for
each man.
The only difference appears to be
that in his contract with the state
factory the state supplies the capital
while in his own plant he must fur
nish his own capital.
