WORKS WITHOUT FAITH Faith Came After the Works Had Laid the Foundation.

A Bay State belle talks thus about coffee: “While a coffee drinker I was a sufferer from indigestion and intensely painful nervous headaches, from childhood. “Seven years ago my health gave out entirely. I grew so weak that the exertion of walking, if only a few feet, made it necessary for me to. lie down. My friends thought I was marked for consumption—weak, thin and pale. “I realized the danger I was In and tried faithfully to get relief from medicines, till, at last, after having employed all kinds of drugs, the doctor acknowledged that he did not believe It was in hl: power to cure me. “While 1“ this condition a friend Induced me to quit coffee and try Postum, and I did so without the least hope that it would do me any good. I did not like it at first, but when it was properly made I found it was a most delicious and refreshing beverage. 1 am especially fond of it served at dinner ice-cold, with cream. “In a month’* time I began to Improve, and in a few week* my indigestion ceased to trouble me, and my headache stopped entirely. I am sc perfectly well now that I do not look like the same person, and I have so gained in flesh that* I am 15 pounds heavier than ever before. “This 1* what Postum has done for me. I still use It and shall always do io.” Name given by Postum Co., Bat tie Creek, Mich. “There’* a reason,” and It i* explained in the Uttl* book, “The Road to WellviUe," In pkg*.

W. J- DOUGLAS’ TRUST PLAN Manufacturer Thinks Government Should Obtain Publicity by a License System. Large business organizations hare come to stay. We cannot go back to old conditions. We must meet world competition. Large concerns can produce goods at lower cost thjui small ones. Germany favors large corporations. The method of the present nar tlonal administration is to dissolve the great organizations and make them smaller, which Is a backward step. There should be. no limit to a corporation doing a large and legitimate business,,such as would be possible under the licensing plan which I favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, in the Boston Herald. . Prejudices against - corporations merely because they are big, perhaps, must be done away with. They give labor better returns. They - cheapen product and thus benefit the consumer. They give opportunities to small investors who get returns otherwise unattainable. They employ able young men who have no capital at all, but who receive handsome salaries for their ability and service. In place of the Sherman law it Is my opinion there should be a department at Washington to grant licenses to all manufacturers and corporations in this country who do an interstate commerce business. The law should be made so clear, plain and definite that it could not be misunderstood. It should require all capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly statements should be given to „ the public and certified by a public accountalnt. There should be a board of examiners in each state to look after these corporations just as our na tlonal banks are watched by the national government. They should have the right to enter the offices and examine the records of all the directorates of these companies. i
