It Depends Upon the Liver. Wrong living is the cause of most physical ills and }, generally stomach and liver are first to suffer, Coffee drinking is a very common cause of digestive disorder, but it usually takes the user some time to fully realize it. Fact is—some people drink coffee with seeming impunity, but when disturbances of the digest- ive organs result in headache, biliousness, irritability and other common symptoms of caffeine poisoning it's time for the coffee drinker to look to his morning bev- erage for the true cause For any coffee drinker who finds that his health is wrong, but don’t know just why, it's a good idea to quit the coffee and use " POSTUM —the pure food-drink i | | | | | =e S 4 Made of wheat and a small amount of molasses, Postum has a rich, snappy flavor much like that of mild Java coffee yet contains no caffeine (the drug in coffee) nor other harmful clement 2 There are two forms of Postum.

Investigation of Thorspson Legis- lative Committee vouchers on file in the State Comptroller's office show that other members beside Assembly- man McQuistion who live in New York City were charged with large bills for hoard and lodging at the Hotel Biltmore. Senator George Cromwell, who has @ home on Staten Island, is billed for twenty-five days room and restau- rant charges amounting to $236.67, Senator Robert R. Lawson, who lives in Brooklyn, ran up a@ bill of $254.22 in twenty-five days for room and restaurant account. Senator James A. Foley, who lives within walking distance of tho hotel is charged with $229.82, part of whioh was for @ room for twenty-five days at $3.60 per day. For @ome reason two Democratic Assemblymen, members of the com- mittee, shunned the Biltmore and did not run up heavy bills, Charles Don- ohue of Manhattan is charged with $25 restaurant account, while Fred Burr of Brooklyn was the most eco- Romical of all. On the bill of the Bilt- more he is charged with only $7.30 restaurant account, William Hayward, now a member of the Public Service Commission, but who was first counsel to the investi. sevting committee, ran up a bill of $1,600.90 in thirty-two days at the hotel Ho had a suit of rooms at $27 per day, but this included a large assem- bly room which was used by all the committee and its counsel as a gen- eral office and not properly listed for his individual use, His restaurant charges, however, were $664.90, equal te $20 per day. Senator Georges Cromwell of Staten Iniand, when lis attention was called to the hotel charges against hin, wald: “1 did stop a few nights jn the ho- bust ness of the committee, but I had ny Idea that my bill amounted to this mum. However, | should not want to way anything about the matter until I have had time to look further into the details.” Senator Foley objected strongly to being charged with any hotel ex- 888, “I live in New York City,” he said, “and I have not contracted a penny of expense at any hotel in connection with the Thompson committee, 1 purposely kept away from the Hotel Biltmore as much possible and avoided incurring any charge for the State, T dined ther na few occa. sions but was particular to pay my own bills out of my own pocket. 1 did not sign any checks nor permit any one connected with the commit WIFE MUST 60 ‘'50-50” Jersey Court So Rules in Case of Veteran Engineer, Whose Spouse Saved Fortune, ‘The right of a man who, for thirty- six years, hands over his unopened pay envelope, to half of the money his wife saves in that time, waa es- tablished to-day by Vies Chancellor Stevenson in Jersey City. would decide in favor of James W.
