to make our spelling a little less

movement. He has issued orders to
Public Printer Stillings' that all mess
ages from the President and all other
documents coming from the White
House shall be printed in accordance
with the recommendations of the
spelling reform committee headed by
Professor Brander Matthews, of Col
umbia, and backed by Andrew Carnegie.
Spelling reform had its greatest
impetus when Andrew Carnegie
made an offer to finance it. For
many years professors and others
have been laboring to have the public
accept reforms in the spelling of cer
tain words. The public, while admit
ting mat tne existing spelling is a
philological monstrosity, "refused to
take kindly to the suggested changes.
vvnen Anarew uarnegie announced
himself as a convert to the reform
the matter was discussed more than
at any time within the past 100 years.
Mark Twain promised to take it up
after Mr. Carnegie had announced
his conversion and had agreed to
finance the organization of reformers
calling themselves the 4 Simplified
bpelling Board, of which Brander
Matthews is the president of the Ex
ecutive Board.
This board announced at the be
ginning that it did not" propose any
radical or revolutionary scheme of
reform, but simply wanted to make
easy the spelling of certain words. It
selected 300 words which it asked
the public to accept.
Following is the list of 300 words
already given out by the Simplified
Spelling Board in which changes are
proposed :

North Dakota Solves the Adultera
tion Problem.
North Dakota seems to have found
the key to the Question, "How shall
we protect the people from frauds in
manufactured products?" a plan
which is applicable to foods, -bever
ages, materials used in the arts, etc.
A new law has recently gone into ef
fect designed to make it impossible
to deceive people into buying inferior
and adulterated paint under the im
pression that they are getting real
paint, viz.: pure white lead and lin
seed oil.
The North Dakota lawmakers did
not attempt to absolutely prohibit
the inferior pigments, or mixtures of
pigments. They adopted the slogan,
"Let the label tell," and then left to
the people to buy whichever they
wished. "
Under this plan, if any one wishes
to buy a mixture of rock-dust, ground
quartz and other cheap elements
which are found in many paints and
so-caHed "white leads," no one can
object; for they do it with their eye3
openl" But if they prefer genuine
white lead and linseed oil, they can
be ! sure of getting it, for none but
' the genuine article can bear a label
which says "pure white lead."
In all other States mixtures are of
ten sold as pure white lead which
contain little sometimes no real
white lead.
It would seem that were this same
principle applied to food, beverages
and all other prepared articles, where
deception is practiced upon the buy
er, the question, would be solved. It
would leave us free to buy what we
pleased, but would protect us from
unwittingly buying what we did not
want.
It isn't what a man owes, but what
he pays that keeps him poor.

GOOD A?!!) HARD
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking.
It it remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with, just to sat
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mica, woman rays: "I had been
using coffee since I was old enough to
have a nip of my own at the table,
an-' from it I l:ave suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
"2Ay trouLie first began in the form
of bilious colic, coming on every few
weeks and almost' ending my life.
At every attack for 8 years I suf
fered in this rray. I used to pray for
death to relieve me from my suffer
ing. I had also attacks of sick head
ache, and began to suffer from ca
tarrh of the stomach, and of course
awful dyspepsia.
"For about a year I lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the causa of all thi3 suffering,
I' finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. It agreed
with my stomach, my troubles have
left me and I am fast gaining my
health under its use.
"No wonder I condemn coffee and
tea. No one conld be in a much more
critical condition than I was from the
use of coffee. Some doctors pro
nounced iC canoer, others ulceration,
but none gave me any relief.. But
sjjjce I stopped coffee and began Pcs
ttfm'l am getting wen so fast I can
heartily recommend It for all who
suffer as I did' Nam9 given by

Nervous exhaustion invites disease.
This statement is the positive truth.
When everything becomes a burden
and you e&nnot walk a few blocks with
out excessive fatigue, and yon break
out into perspiration easily, and your
face flnshe, and yon grow excited and
shaky at the least provocation, and
you cannot bear to be crossed in anything-,
yon are in danger ; your nerves
have given out ; vou need building1 up
at once ! To build up woman's nerv
ous ftstem and during1 the period of
ohanffe of life we know of no better
medicine than Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound. Here is an illus
tration. Mrs. Mary L. Koehne, 371
Garfield Avenue, Chlcag-o. 111., writes:
" I have bss1 Ljdia E. Ptekbanf sVegctable
Compound for years in ruy fcnjily and it
never disappoints; so when I felt that I was
nearinsr tho change of Ufa I commenced treat
ment with it. I took in all about six bottles
and it did mo a great deal of good.- It stopped
my dizzy spells, pains in my back and tho
headaches with vrfcieh I had suffered for
months before taking the Compound. I feel
that if It had not been for this great medicine
for women that I should not have boor alive
to-day. It is splendid for women .old or young,
and will sorely cure all female disoi-ders."
