NO IDEA
What Caused the Trouble.

Il always drank coffee with the rest
of the family, for it seemed as if there
was nothing for breakfast if we did
not have it on the table.
Il had been troubled for some time
with my heart, which did not feel
right. This trouble grew worse
steadily.
Sometimes it would beat fast, and
at other times very slowly, so that l
would hardly be able to do work for
an hour Or two after breakfast, and if
/ walked up a hill, 1t gave me a severe
pain.
1 had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested that per-
haps 1t might be coffee drinking. l
tried leaving off the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change came
quickly. I am glad to say that / am
now entirely free from heart trouble
and attribute the relief to leaving on
cofee and the use Of Postum.

doned coffee and have taken up Post

the others began to sing. it was no.

Because, Miss Mary" was the
rather startling rejoinder of the child,

Business Men OF City Compliment
Leader on Engraved and
Embossed Effects.

Again the management of the Leader
wishes to call attention to the new pro-
cess printing being turned out. Gus
toners are more than satisfied and are
Teordering. This is really an improve
ment over embossed work, for it gives
the embossed effect without any disfig-
urement of the back of the sheet. The
price for this process printing is but a
third of the cost of embossed work and
but a trifle over the charge for ordinary
printing. We also have a process for
turning out limitation of engraved
work which cannot be told from the gen
uine and, like the embossed effect, only
a nominal charge is made. We have
neatly arranged specimens of these clas-
ses of work and will be only too glad to
call and show them to anyone interest
ed, if they will either phone to or drop a
postal card to the Leader office. The
new process printing is not only appro-
pirate for all kinds of commercial print
ing, but for wedding cards, programs,
menu cards, invitations, correspondence
cards, private stationery. We have a
nice assortment of mOnograms. When
in need of anything in highclass sta
tronery or other printing, see sampless
of the new process printing now being
turned out at the Leader office, which
has made decided hit with all who
have thus far placed orders Other i'm
prOvements have been made to the Lea

Inability of Doctors to Diagnose
Disease Cause of Many Deaths.

So much depends on the proper
diagnosis, that the battle for the cure
is half won, when the true cause of
the disease is discovered For some
reason most fail to discover the cause
of the disease, and do not know what
allied the patient until he dies and is
cut open. This condition furnishes
the reason so many suffer from year
to year with chronic disease The
sufferer 'dopes" himself with patent
medicines, and consults doctors with
no help whatever. Many of these suf-
ferers have finally reached Drs. Earl
ing and karass, expert specialists,
and are cured. Drs. Earling and
Karass, expert specialists in the treat
ment of chronic diseases, make a most
careful ana thorough examination of
each case that caIS. The direct cause
of the ailment is discovered which
they remove by easy stages, and thus
bring back the health, and make a
vigorous body of run down system.

ture of Senator Mulberger and a

berger Strikes at Traditional Doings
of Sharp Horse Traders" as follows:
Senator Charles Mulberger, Water
town, who represents the Democratic
Thirty-third district, was born, reared,
educated and elected in his home
town. He has the reputation of be-
ing a good business man, who is much
interested in city government. So he
was placed on the committee on cor
porations where he would have op-
portunity to exercise his special train
ing.
"Mulberger tends strictly to busi-
ness, but he does it without making
many speeches or introducing many
bills. One of the bills he has intro
duced however, may cause all the
David Harums and other hoss-traders
to organize lobby, because it in
clude livestock in the category Of
things which it is forbidden to fraudu-
lently advertise.
'Mulberger graduated from the Wa
tertown High school and the univer-

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES

The subject of civic aesthetics is
one which, at least in America, is at
tracing to it's study a constantly in
creasing number of people. Our
artists are keenly alive to its i'm
portance, and no congress of archi-
tects painters or sculptors is held
nowadays which does not give some
of it's time to a consideration of the
city's beauty. Citizens in general are
at work for the betterment of the
places in which they live, in countless
associations such as improvement so
cieties, and municipal leagues. The
following books which are at the Ii
brary might be of help to the citizens
of Watertown who are interested in
civic improvement:
Allen-WOmans part in the govern
ment, whether she votes or not. A
book Of the hour, outlining sharply
the main questions now agitated pr
needing agitation, upon which wo-
mans influence can be brought to ad-
vantage; philanthropy, hygiene, schoo
mans influence can be brought to
advantage; philanthropy, hygiene,
school, municipal government, public
business, etc.
Bacon-Beauty for ashes. The
author, a retiring woman alive to all
beauty, tells OF how she was drawn
out of her home to protect it, how she
grew interested in the poor and
awakening to the fact that the ugly
SUM exists in small cities, even in
the country as we'll as in the metro
polls, was forced into the great fight
for the model housing law of Indiana.
This book was published in 1914.
McVey-Making of a town. Gives
the concrete information needed by
officials and earnest citizens in stand
ardizing and carrying out practical
civic work in a small town. Contains
chapters on health, education, morals
and business, and also a useful outline
for a survey of the community.
Robinson-Improvem of towns
and cities Book deals with consider
alton of the city's site, how to plan
it's streets, articles on street pave
ment, bridges, street cleaning, light
ing, etc.

The Washington, D. c., Star annOunc-
certificate of accidental death was given
by Coroner hewitt in the case of John
Smith Bennett, SO years old, who was
crushed to death while at work in the
east carriage shop at the navy yard
Tuesday afternoon. Mr.. Bennett was
working at one of the big steel planning
machines, and was in STOPPING position
at the end of it when he was jammed
against wooden locker and almost in
stantly killed. 1t is believed that he
stopped to pick up box of matches that
was found on the floor where the acci-
dent happened. Had he been in stand
ing position, it is stated, the planer
would not have touched him.
"The deceased. who was son of the
late Joseph Bray Bennett, was native
of England. He lived in Watertown,
Wis, where he received his early educa-
tiOn, prior to seventeen years ago, then
came to this city to accept position as
first class machinist in the navy yard,
where he made an excellent record. His
father was appointment clerk in the de-
partment of agriculture for number of
years. The senior Mr.. Bennett met with
several accidents. In the last one he
was knocked down by an automobile
while in front of Casualty Hospital,
about six years ago, and never fully re-
covered from his injured. His death
followed about three years later. About
four months ago John S. Bennett and
Mrs. Blanche Allison were married in
Baltimore, his first wife having died
several years prior. Mrs. Bennett and
one daughter, Miss Dorothy Bennett, a
pupil in Eastern high school, survive.
