and suggests the aroma and flavour of mild high-grade
Java. That's because the roasted "berry" of wheat,
from which Postam is made, has a snappy flavour re-
markably like that of the roasted coffee berry. The
real taste is a delightful savor distinctively Postum—
rich and nourishing.
Unlike coffee, Postum never imposes upon its users
a tribute of headache, nervousness, biliousness, sleep-
lessness, heart flutter and other ills, because Postum
contains not a particle of the coffee-drug, caffeine, or
any other harmful ingredient.
INSTANT.
POSTUM
is the concentrated form of this pure cereal food-
drink. No boiling required—made in the cup with
hot water—instantly! Wonderfully convenient for
home, for travel, for the picnic — handy anywhere.
Delicious! 30c and 50c tins.
t
If coffee is interfering with your comfort and suc-
cess, as it does for most users, suppose you shift to
POSTUM.
n
There's a Reason

/
Postum may also be had in the original form—
which must be well boiled—15c and 25c packages.
Both forms of Postum are equally wholesome and
delicious, and cost, per cup about the same.

much as he was familiar with the
work.
"I am ready to try tlfb case at once,"
said the .attorney general tonight.
"Judge Hildebrand appeared before
the attorney general's department as
a representative of the K*aty railroad,"
he added.
There has been another Issue inject-
ed into the Introduction of the resolu-
tion. it deals with "politics." Conten-
tions have been made by those oppos-
ing the bill that its introduction is
based only on efforts of opponents of
prohibition in the state to further their
interests by casting political ^flec-
tions on the present attorney general.
it has also been stated that perhaps
the resolution was drafted because of
the attitude of the attorney general In
the recent Texas business Men's asso-
ciation suit., The probable action of
the senate is indeterminable.
Senator McGregor arraigned the in-
adequacy of the anti-trust laws of the
state to cope with the cotton seed oil
mills and the big corporations, Which
he charged were behind these mills.
He cited specific instances of the own-
ership of mills by large packing con-
cerns. "I am in favor of repealing
every anti-trust law on the statute
books and re-enacting them so as to
make them applicable to these condi-
tions," he said. He further charged
that the combinations with packers
and cotton seed mills lead to the fix-
ing of prices on almost every commod-
ity of common use, in asking for con-
sideration of his bill to provide for
the appointment of a cotton seed oil
products investigating committee. The
bill will be taken up tomorrow.
The Bee 54-hour law bill was pass-
ed after many amendments had been
voted down and several changing the
bill in a minor respect had been adopt-
ed. The amendments added exempt
stenographers and pharmacists, tele-
graph and telephone company em-
ployes in towns of 3,000 or less change
the word "require" In mention of the
attitude of the employers making him
liable to punishment to "permit."
The house passed to engrossment,
83-43, before an audience that packed
the galleries, the resolution for "the
submission of a constitutional amend-
ment to the people on woman suf-
frage. The debate was broken at times
by the clapping and hissing of parti-
sans and supporters in the galleries.

your system. There's no saner, more wholesome joy than
that which Tuxedo gives you.
