Why is POSTUM
Replacing Coffee?
People are waking up to the harmful effects ot the powerful drug caffeine—in coffee,
which poisons the system, often resulting in nervouoness, heart flutter, headache, bilhousness
and many other ills and discomforts.
The pure food-drink, Postum, is absolule'y drug-free— made only of the choicest
wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses. It contains no caffeine or other harmful elements,
If you doubt that coffee hurts you, a sure test is to leave it off for 10 days and use
Postum. It's an easy change, too, for Postum tastes much like the mild, high grade Javas.
As the coffee-drug is eliminated from your system, your own feelings will suggest I ostum
and better health.
PiiKtum comes in two forms: Regular Postum— must boiled, Hie ami * ■ packages;
Instant Postum—-soluble form, made in the with hot watu Instantly, 30c ami 60c tins.
Bot h kinds are equally delicious, and the cost per cup is about t(je same. * • •

Wbat m martini law/ Some people
have u wigue idea that It in military
law, but this U* a mistake. Military
law h.ia uotbiug whatever to do with
martini law Military law Is simply
that branch of tbe laws applicable to \
military service and duties, consisting
of tiie statutes, regulations and prin-
ciples by which the army and its af-
fairs ure governed. The misunder-
standing has arisen partly from tho
name given to It and partly from the
fact that it is the military which fre-
quently carry out the reflation*,
while often tho military forms of
courts sre held
The police, however. If duly author-
ized. may oarry out martial law.
It Is difficult to define the meaning of
martial law In nontechnical words.
The di« fionarv definition < f martini law-
Is thai it Is military authority excr |
cised lu arcordanre with the lawn ami I

deUnitioii ulveu h:i> tieen that of "lie I

It means thai the supreme authority j
is empowered t« do as it wills and that
all ordhiar> laws, for the time being
have no operation whatever There an-
no law« dealing with Its application

ibltrary | ower
This means that ttiere will be a com
plcte revolution In the ways of the
people where vet martini law is pro
claimed All ordinary life will be af
fected. and it will no longer be the
case that "an Kmrllshrnan s h< tne Is
his castle."
As m rule, when m place Is under
martial law its* Inhabitants must clear
out of the streets before a certain
ti in every eveulna. say 8 o'clock
Then all pla«vs of amusement, public
bouses and so on nre closed entirely
Even duiitig the daytime a limit Is
made as to the number of people who
may assemble, so that a party of peo
pie numtieiing above, say. half a doz
en would t e liable to instant punish
ment Also certain places and certain
streets sre forbidden to the people,
w ho may l>e compelled to fceep beycftul
certain radius from the specified
places.
Those in authority may take any
object they like from anywhere, enter
ins houses as well as shops to com
mandeer whatever they wish without
any control Any person may be com
pelled to trlve a complete account of hi-
movements, pant, present and project

Wp have more at stake in the City of Shawnee and
Pottawatomie county than Ihe profits on a few cars of
iieed Irish Potatoes. Our success in business has been
through the liberal trade the
Farmer and Workingman
has given us. Realizing t iie cttudition that a great
many farmers are in on account of the price they had
to sell their cotton for, which was less than the cost of
production and knowing that many will have to bor-
row moijey to buy their seeds, we feel that we should
for once throw aside our desire for gain and show our
appreciation.
Last year we made a price on Seed Irish Potatoes of
ninety cents a bushel; brought buyers here that paid
our farmers fancy prices for their crop.
