A Journal of practical suggestion
about domestic economy says;
"Fortunately the new hygienic prin

hardwood floors, the use of rugs in
Stead of carpets, and light draperie
Instead of heavy ones, combined wltl
the artistic demand for simple wood
work and furniture without Auperftu
ous cornices, moldings, and carvings
have helped to simplify the problem o
house cleaning ajid to lighten ltsEhur
dens. Modern sanitary ideas
that houses shall he built and furnish
ed in such a way that there can be n<
accumulation of unseen dirt at leasl
Art adds Its Influence to the carrylni
out of these ideafg by declaring ,thes
simplified furnishings the most beau
tlful. Under these conditions the tlior
ough weekly cleaning disposes of mos
of the dirt. It is only the furnishing
that are still too bulky to be move,

Why do nearly all civilized men and

year, sleep during some of the most
Invigorating hours of daylight, and
take much of their recreation handi
capped by darkness? It is a fact that
they do—a fact so familiar but little
thought of that there is something
startling in the question.
Nearly everyone can think of an an

It seems almost too good to be true,
the way headache, nervousness. In
somnia. and many other obscure trou- I
hies vanish when coffee is dismissed i
and Postum used as the regular table j
beverage. j
The reason is clear. Coffee contains
a poisonous drug—caffeine -which ,
causes the trouble, but Postum con
tains only the food elements In clean
hard wheat With a little New Orleans
molasses.
A Phila. man grow enthusiastic re

“Cntil 18 months ago I used coffee
regularly .every day and suffered from
headache, bitter taste In my mouth,

ALEX HANNON IS
INJURED IN SELMA
It was reported In Montgomery last
evening that Alex Hannon, n well
known young: man of the city. had
been beaten up by John Jones in
Selma.
As Hannon could not be reached
definite details of the altercation could
not be aecured. It appeared, however,
that Hannon while «»n his way to
Helma. Interfered in a dispute between
Jones and another man, separating the
combatants in the car of the train.
After arriving in Selina, Hannon
was espied In a restaurant by Jones,
who had in the meantime secured a
brother, anil these two. It is said, at
tacked Hannon, one of them using the
butt end of a .revolver on Hannon's
face.
