- COFFEE COMPLEXION
Many Ladies Have Poor Complex?
*; ions From Coffee.
"Coffee caused dark colored
blotches on my face and body. I
had been drinking'it for a long while
and these blotches gradually ap
peared, until finally they became per
manent and were about as dark as
coffee itself.
"I formerly had as fine a complex
ion as one could ask for.
"When I became convinced that
coffee was the cause of my trouble,
I changed and took to using Postum
Food Coffee, and as I made it well,
according to directions, I liked lt
very much, and have since that time
used lt in place of coffee.
"I am thankful to say I am not
nervous any more, as I was when I
was drinking coffee, and my com
plexion ls now as fair and good as
it was years ago. lt is very plain
that coffee caused the trouble." *
Most bad complexions are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee Is the greatest disturber
of digestion knowu. Almost any wo
man can have a fair complexion if
she will leave off coffee and use Pos
tum Food Coffee and nutritious,
healthy- food in proper quantity.
Postum furnishes certain elements
from the natural grains from the
field that Nature uses to rebuild the
nervous system and when that is in
good condition, one can depend upon
a good complexion us well as a good
healthy body. "There's a Reason."

Hands With and Thank Every
Juror.
Houston, Va., Special-After he
ing in the jury room 45 minutes the
jury Saturday evening returned n
verdict of "not guilty" in the case
of former Judge William G. Loving,
of Nelson county, and manager of
the Virginia estate of Thomas F. Ry
an, who was placed on trial here last
Monday before the Circuit Court of.
Halifax, Judge William R. Barks
dale presiding, for the murder of
Theodore Eeles, son of Sheriff M. K.
Estes, pf Neison county. Judge Lov
ing shot aiid killed yoHng <Estes on
April 22 al Oak- Ridge, following a
buggy ride Estes had taken with the
judge's daughter, Miss Elizabeth
Loving, who told her father that her
escort Lad drugged and assaulted
her.
The jory retired at 4:45 o'clock
and from that time until the verdict
was returned the defendant remained
in the seat he had occupied since the
trial began, and surrounded hy the
members of his immediate family
with the exception of his daughter
Elizabeth, who was not present to
day. At 5:45 o'clock a loud knock
was heard on the door of the jury
room and Judge Barksdale, who had
taken his seat on the hench ordered
the sheriff to preserve order and
cautioned the large crowd that had
remained to not give vent to their
emotions when the verdict was an
nounced. The verdict of acquittal
was read by Foreman B. S. McGraw.
Judge Barksdale thanked the ju- j
rors for their attendance upon court
at great sacrifices. He declar?d that .
he believed the verdict was in ac
cordance with the conscientious views
of the jury.
After the jury had heen discharg
ed, Judge Loving, his wife and other
relatives shook hands with and
thanked each juror.

Foreman McCraw, a merchant and
farmer, said that wheji the jurors
cn toi ed the room, on? of them did
not exactly understand all of the in
structions of . thc court, and these
were read to him. Mr. McGfciw said
that when he called for a vote, he
requested all who favored th ac
quittal of the defendant to hold up
their right hand. On the first bal
lot every hand promptly went up.
When asked what the basis of the
verdict was he said "Insanity," and
that he and the other members of
the jury .believed that Judge Loving
was out of his mind at the time he
killed young Estes. The stress, he
said, had bronght on hy the story
told him by his daughter.
No Assault Committed.

out by the counsel for Judge Lov
ing:
"Within half an hour after the
rendition of the verdict hy the jury -
and the adjournment of court counsel
for Judge Loving were called on hy.
two of the jury who stated that they
had been appointed a committee rep
resenting the entire jury to convey
to Judge Loving and his wife while ?
they believed that Miss Loving's
statement on the witness stand of
what she had told her father was a :
true account of what she had commu
nicated to him yet not for a moment
did the jury entertain the opinion
that an actual assault had been com
mitted hy the deceased upon the
3Toung lady, but on the contrary they
were all fully satisfied beyond all
doubt that no actual assault had
been committed, but that there had
been an attempted assault. Counsel
for Judge Loving upon being inter
viewed in this connection said: 'The
conclusion of the jury to the effect
that no assault was committed was
absolutely correct.' "

AXE IN TREASON TRIALS,
Sharp Edge Turned Toward Prisoner
When Semence is Pronounced.
Every one is aware of the dread
fully significant part the executioner's
axe plays in a trial,for high treason.
The sharp symbol of death ls carried
before the prisoner, with its blunt
side turned toward him so long as he
has not been sentenced, says Macmil
lan's -Magazine, and just before sen
tence is pronounced the sharp edge
is turned his way.
Evelyn, who *was present at the
trial of Lord 'Stafford in 1GS9,- tells
us that the axe was turned edgeways
to the unfortunate nobleman as soon
as it was ascertained that the voting
of his peers went against him-an ef
fective but ghastly piece of stage
management which must have had a
sickening fascination for the unhap
py and probably innocent man. in
those days, now happily gone by, no
one seems to have reflected on the
unnecessary cruelty of harrowing the
feelings of men about to die by such
shocking judicial by-play.
Not 'every prisoner treated this
purely symbolic but otherwise super
fluous and unpleasant ceremony as
contemptuously as did Lord Dalmor
ino. When the three coaches convey
ed the Lords Kilmarnock, Bal merino
and Cromartie from the Tower to be
sentenced/at Westra? ster, on July 28,
1746, a difficulty arose. It was not
laid down by prescription or use in
which coach, If there were more than
one the fatal axe had to be carried.

cried brave old Balraerino, "I don't
care."
Yet, notwithstanding his contempt
for this horrid symbol, the undaunted
old man cheerfully suffered death for
his attachment to another symbol,
the White Cockade; but Lord Kil
marnock; in the next coach, was
dreadfully frightened, as he showed
himself to be, by his thorough reali
zation of what the awful axe would
mean to him. He Inquired minutely
into all the details of an execution, ;
wanted the Governor of the Tower to
tell him whether his head would roll
or rebound, and. when on the scaffold
he saw - the executioner dressed in
white, with a white apron, he whls- j
pered to his chaplain, "Home, how
horrible!" ;

THE ILLUSIVE HAT. "~
"Why ls it," queried ? plaintive
fetqinine, "that a hat which, in its ?
embryo stage, in the milliner's hand,
looks a thing of beauty and a joy
forever, comes home a horrid mons
trosity that ho sofie woman in her
normal mind-would buy?
"The poet who wrote that famous
line, 'Things are not what they seem,'
was sureiy alluding to Easter hats.
. " 'Now I know exactly what you
want-/ reassuringly says the milliner
you always go to. 'Yes, indeed, some
thing drooping and pretty, real blue,
light in weight and no exaggerations.
Like this?'
"The milliner gets out a sweet lit
tle dream of a blue hat, drops a
rose on the brim, and describes how
she will put a little ribbon on the
side. Effect: simple, sweet and en
trancing.
"Next day you go to try it on. It
isn't finished, but seems likely to be
quite. becoming, after you have sug
gested removing a peaker gable or
two, and razing off some of the front
piazza and an 'ell', behind.
"On the third day it comes home.
Heavens, what a hat! Is it possible
you ever ordered a confection so dia
bolically ludicrous? No, never. You
did not! What that milliner has dette
to it you don't Jjmow. You only Know
that If this ls the natural evolution
of the hat you admired in its embryo
stage, then you and that hat have
nothing in common. You require a
totally different species.
"But you never can tell how any
species ls going to tum out till you
see it in its fully developed state.
Therefore, the best plan, when you
have any dealing with the genus
milliner is to purchase a full-fledged
specimen that has already attained
its normal and complete growth, and
cannot spring any startling surprises
on you when it is too late.''--Phila
delphia Bulletin.

THE PEACH TREE BORER.
The peach borer is a wasp-like in
sect, with transparent wings and a
rlchlytornamented body, banded and
striped with gold, and deposits its
eggs about tho base of the trunk of
the tree. The eggs hatch out, the
larvae bore into the sap-wood, and
cause an exudation of gummy matter,
which appear* in masses about the
base 'of the tree. The larvae seem
partly to live in this gummy substance
and partly in the sap-wood of the
tree. Sometimes three or four are
found on the same tree, occasionally
girdling and destroying it, but always
inducing more or less of a diseased
condition and impairing its vigor. Al
together it is a very objectionable
and destructive insect.
Pure White Lead
is the Natural
Paint Pigment
Numerous
compound s
are being
offered to lake
the plate of
white lead as
a paint, but no
real substitute
for it has yet
been lound.
Pure White
Lead has a'
peculiar
property of
amalgamating
with thc wood
upon which it is used-added to this
it has an elasticity which permits thc
paint to folldw the natural expansion
and contraction of the wood. Pure
White Lead (with its full natural te
nacity and elasticity, unimpaired by
adulterants), alone fulfills all the re
quirements of the ideal paint. Every
keg which bears the Dutch Boy trade
mark is positively guaranteed tobe ab-,
solutely Pure
White Lead
made by the Old
Dutch Process.
