Other Cases Today, John Meyers was before the. court charged by his wife with non-support. He has retained Lawyer P. F. Mec- Donough and on his request the case was continued until next Tuesday morning: Frank Glaubau of Fairview street was supposed to be in court today to answer to a charge of working on Sunday but he .did not appear.

Puts Another Face on It Many a man jauntily takes his cup or two of coffee at a meal and declares that coffee doesn’t hurt him ! But wait until the poisonous drug, caffeine, in the coffee begins to show its cumulative effects, and puts a different face on the proposition. It’s a fact anyone can verify, that caffeine hard- ens the arteries, brings on premature old age, and sal- lows and wrinkles the skin. Some of the signs are headache, irritability, biliousness, heart flutter, sleep- lessness, dizziness, “fag.” and so on.
