"For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet. I was so found of it, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone my heart seemed so smothered and weak In its action that I feared it would stop beating. 'My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the coffee and began to use Postum, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest It without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has "become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

Gifted with a marvelous voice, capable of expressing every shade of feeling, Mr. Howard illumed the tragedy as with the brush, of , painter. Scenery he has none.

Deaf and Dumb Man Can Get Drink In Kansas; Dealers Hear By Signs

Topeka, Kas., Oct. 11. "Can I get a glass of beer or a little schnapps?" asked an Eastern man recently of a friend, just after he arrived yesterday in a certain Kansas town. 'Sure," was the reply. "Sure, if the eigns are right." To get a drink or a cigarette in Kansas during these parlous times you have to know the proper sign of distress and signal it after the approved fashion to "some one who knows." The most commonly used signs are: Two Fingers Up With Hand Turned In A bcttle of beer. Left Arm Extended, Thumb Down, Fingers Straight Out Drink of whisky. Two Thumbs Up, Fingers Closed Half pint whisky. Twirling Thumbs With Fingers Folded Two bottles of beer. Finger in the Ear Highball. Pulling the Lobe of the Right Ear Gin rickey. Hands Over the Heart Whiskey and lemon. Crossing of Leg Standing Above Knee Royal gin fizz. Crossing Leg Below the Knee Silver gin fizz. Both Anns Extended "Patsy Connor."

ANOTHER A WEEK LATER ONE CASE WAS CALLED TODAY, BUT DEFENDANT WAS NOT PRESENT, BEING DETAINED AT THE COUNTY JAIL.

The cases to be heard next Saturday are Lena Mitch-, ell, versus Patrick Mitchell, divorce ' and custody of children: Elizabeth Waggoner versus Henry Waggoner; Walter S. Miller versus Bertha L. Miller; Elizabeth J. Crook versus George W. Crook. The case of Mary Hlghley versus Lemuel Hlghley for divorce was set for Saturday, October 23. Kortwrlght Explained. Harvey Kortwrlght who is defendant in a divorce cae introduced by Mrs. Julia Kortwrlght, appeared n court this morning to answer why he had not made an allowance for attorney's fees which his wife might use to prosecute her case. He explained to Judge Pox that he was giving his wife $T a week at the present time . and Judg Fox ruled that he need not increase the allowance until after he heard the testimony of his wife in the divorce trial, which will be hea-d soon. . Randall R. Edmunds, who is being sued for divorce by his wife, was not present in the court this morning when the case was called. He is in the county jail serving time for beating his wife. It was a result of this assault that caused Mrs. Edmunds to sue for divorce. An ir Jtioiou j Text. A church was a considerable time without u pastor. A treat number of persons of varkd talents preached to them with a view to obtaining the post. A very ambitious young mau was asked to supply tbetn for a Sabbath. All went well until he gave out the text, "See that ye refuse not him that speaketb." Imagine the consternation the people experienced when he read out the text in a lofty and commanding manner. He was unaware of the feeling he created. The people did the opposite from the text. The young man was not called.

Bumbaugh Will Finish Work On New Dirigible Balloon

George L. Bumbaugh, the Indianapolis aviator, whose three flights from South Eighth and H streets, during the Fall Festival, attracted the admiration and attention of thousands of local citizens and visitors, states that be, in company with a number of others, would probably test out the new sem'rigid dirigible this week by flying from Indianapolis to Dayton and return. Mr. Bumbaugh left Sunday for Indianapolis and he will spend his time in putting on the finishing touches to h's new dirigible. The success of the trial flight will mean much to Mr. Bumbaugh and his backers and he is confident that th3 balloon will perform just as anticipated. The United States government officials are manifesting much interest in his work and he has on file a number of communications from them, asking for information. The dirigible ion the market, and on the success of the machine's first flight will depend the size of the bids received. In speaking of his new balloon. Mr. Bumbaugh stated that its style was in general, the same as that of the smaU dirigible in which he made his flights here. In details It is radically different In the first place, two dipping plane; are attached to the front end of the dirigible. The propellers are located

Hands Clasped Behind the Back Dutch soda. Shaking Hands With Yourself Champagne. Whirling Fingers Around Temples or Making a Motion Like Hammering Cigarettes or "coffin nails."

A veteran Methodist preacher who wad in the habit of laying his hands on his bay window, clasping his fingers and twirling his thumbs while thinking over the problems of the ministry, stopped at a hotel in a Kansas town the other day and waited in the lobby while the porier did an errand for him. He got to thinking and twirling his thumbs. Another porter noticed him. He walked by the patriarch and whispered: "I'll leave them in your room." "Wh-what?" asked the preacher, startled from his reverie. But the porter had gone on. A little while later the preacher went to his room. He had been there but a minute when in popped the porter with a mysterious package under his arm. Unfurling the papers he planted a couple of pints of beer on the table and suggested to the preacher to tip him 75 cents for the brace and the work of getting them. "Sir!" shouted the preacher, "what i do you mean, sir, by bringing beer into my room? What do you mean, sir, you law breaker?" WILL TIGHTEN LID Police Are of the Opinion Tobacco Dealers Fail to Observe Laws. CIGARETTES TO -MINORS? It is probable that within the course of the next few days, a campaign will be waged by the police in the hopes of tightening the lid on several cigar stores of the city. When the sweeping cigarette law was repealed at the session of the last legislature, many of the dealers seemed to think that all laws on the subject were repealed and that they could sell openly and almost before the very eyes of the police, to whoever they desired. It is alleged that small boys barely in their teens experience no difficulty whatever in buying "coffin nails" from the majority of dealers, and the police assert that an investigation will be made in the matter with the view of putting a stop to the practice. Frequently small boys are seen ii: possession of ready made cigarettes, or buying candy to secure cigarette papers from the more leniently inclined dealers, who continue to flirt with arrest at great risk to themselves. The penalty for selling to minors is very severe, and dealers caught and convicted of a violation of this sort, will not be shown any clemency, it is said. Articles of incorporation of the Nixon Bag and Paper company, were filed his morning with County Recorder Will Robbins. The capital stock of the concern, which is now In the hands of John Perkins. Fred E. Schornsteln and Wilfred Jessup. is $rtX0, divided into shares of $- each. The plant was formerly owned by Frank Nixon and Mary Rittenhouse. The concern will continue in the manufacture of bags, novelties and by-products. FINAL SETTLEMENT Final settlement of Charles E. Shlveley. guardian for Mrs. Mary L. Martin, deceased has been made and approved by Judge Fox of the probate court. The amount distributed by the guardian, according to the report, was ?.V 1G7.14. in the center of the passenger section and the revolutions of these causes a strong wind toward the center of the dirigible. The rudder is practically the same as on the small balloon, with the exception that it Is much larger. The gas bag itself, is the same in construction as the one seen here. Its capacity of hydrogen gas however. Is more than eight times that of the smaller balloon. It is l,oo cubic feet. It has a semi-rigid frame, but is not divided into compartments as the Zeppelin dirigible. The passenger section of the dirigible is large enough to carry twelve persons and it is probable that arrangements will be made for this number to mak the trial flight. Mr. Bumbaugh is considering the advisability of asking the government representative to make the trip with himself and party. The trip will be made in remarka bly short time, he anticipates. Dayton is approximately 12m miles from Indianapolis and he expects to make the trip In five hours" time. The beighth to which he mill arise depends entirely on the character of the day. Some signal will be given local citizens when he approaches Richmond. Mr. Bumbaugh is very much pleased with his reception here and has promised that Richmond shall be one of the points over which he will pass.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

New York. Oct. 11. Reactionary influences are multiplying dally. At last the cautionary signals displayed in the money market are being heeded, and it is recognized that Stock Exchange prices have been forced to a level beyond reason. Every known argument in favor of higher prices has been worked to the limit; every known element of prosperity has been more than fully discounted. Even better dividend returns have been more than anticipated, as is proven by the fact that when these occur they are usually utilized as a basis for fresh realizing. For months past the Street has been stimulated by optimistic views and activities of all kinds: some of them genuine, some of them far from trustworthy. Much of this so-called prosperity talk has been exaggerated and unfounded. Only In the steel trade is there extraordinary activity and prosperity combined. This industry is certainly enjoying phenomenal success ; all records of production being far surpassed, and the best authorities agreeing that the country will witness a tremendous demand for steel at good prices for some months to come. This is due to the fact that the nation's increase in population, activity and purchasing rower compels large extensions in railroad and industrial plants. Our railroads, it will be remembered, deferred many improvements during the period of economy which followed the panic, and many new enterprises of an industrial character were also postponed. Just now there is an almost too violent rebound; constructive work is very active in all parts of the Un'ted States, and the result is a call for large quantities of iron and steel in various forms. The widening use of steel as a constructive material Is also a factor of much importance In this respect. Outside of the steel Industry, however, it is difficult to find any cause for immoderate enthusiasm, business as a whole not yet having reached the volume of 19(K. Our farmers, as a class, are enjoying great prosperity because of the very profitable prices realized upon all agricultural products. Yet their prosperity is of the kind that Is not universally desired, because it is unevenly distributed and is mainly at the expense of other classes of Bociety. Present agricultural prosperity Is based to a considerable extent upon scarcity; which can never be considered entirely beneficial because of the certainty that somewhere hardship is imposed in consequence. Cotton, for instance, ia selling at 13c, not so much on account of great demand as for an important shortage In this year's crop. As a result some planters are making large profits while not a few have incurred heavy losses. Spinners, except those who bought cotton early, are embarrassed by the high cost of raw material, and curtailed production is necessary. This In turn means loss of wages to employes and diminishing purchasing power, while the consumer must either spend more money on cotton goods or consume less, either alternative acting detrimentally to some Interest No doubt cotton has been unduly advanced by dangerous speculation. The rise in prices is out of all proportion to the diminution of supplies; and. in view of the large supplies carried over from last crop, the better yield in other countries and the curtailed consumption both at home and abroad, it must be conceded that the chances of a cotton famine are very remote. Next let us take the corn crop; a highly important source of wealth to this countiy. The yield this year will be large and promises to command good prices, yet the crop has fallen considerably below earlier calculations and is therefore somewhat cf a disappointment. Necessarily this must cause a modification cf the ultro-op-timistic views which were held in midsummer. The farmer, it is true, will secure good profits for his corn; but how about the consumer who, obliged to pay for pork, beef, eggs, chickens, etc., into which corn enter, will have that much less to spend In other directions? The same may be said of wheat, the world's surplus of which is at a very low ebb; hence the present high prices. A larger crcp would have proved highly beneficial, inasmuch as the money result to the fanner would probably have been quite as large as under present scarcity, and the country would then have possessed a surplus for export with which to pay for heavy current merchandise imports. This brings us to a new condition which has not been sufficiently appreciated. The Impediments to exports cf cotton and wheat are likely to be a serious factor in our international trade. Business revival is causing unusually large imports, while our exports are abnormally low for the reasons of scarcity just specified. This means the piling up of a heavy debit abroad. Our borrowings in foreign markets are already reputed to be in the neighborhood of 1400.000.000; and if to this be added our unfavorable trade balance it is plain that we are rapidly becoming very heavily indebted to Europe. Foreign bankers have already taken alarm, as shown by the advance in the Bank of England rate. an. every other kk J of laiir.acs.

and are shutting down sharply spoil our speculative borrowings, which have been transferred from New York to Europe. Whether we shall settle this indebtedness in merchandise exports t which stems improbable), la securities or in gold it is Impossible

to predict. Ordinarily the conditions should favor gold Imports at no distant date, but the outlook In this reppect at the moment is distinctly uncertain. This continued loss of the precious metal though not yet at th danger point is suggestive, for It weakens the foundation of credit at a time when the currency is being inflated by the continued Issue of bank notes, the increase in currency October 1 amounting to $43,000,000 during the past twelve months. Our national bank loans are $370,000,000 greater than a year ago. white their cash reserves are $14,000,000 lower. Ths Bank of England and the Bank of Germany also report Seclinlng reserves, and even Paris Is desirous of strengthening its position, despite the dullness of business in France. This world wide stiffening of money after an excessiveexpansion in loans, especially In ths United States, is significant and must have a restraining influence upon speculation. Such conditions show that so-called prosperity Is by no means general, but is unbalanced and mixed with serious drawbacks. Mosquitoes common to All Lands. Every filtrate Is the mosquito's choice.
