Dr. H. Strauss, of Vienna, in a recent number of the ."British Medical Journal," makes the timely suggestion that much can be done to retard this premature wear and tear by paving a little attention to the diet. The man whose heart or blood vessels begin to show signs of not being as young as they used to be should, for example, be very chary with his meaty foods. Two and a half to three and a half ounces of meat a day Dr. Strauss considers quite sufficient. More important than what one eats, however, is what one drinks. Alcoholic stimulants of all kinds tend to burden the heart and blood vessels by making them work overtime, which of course increases the wear and tear. But it isn't only alcoholic stimulants Dr. Strauss inveighs against. Caffeine (tha i powerful drug contained in tea and coffee) this distinguished scientist points out, is also a powerful heart irritant. Every time one takes a cup of these beverages the caffeine in it en courages one's' heart to do extra work Which is practically always quite uncalled for, and therefore is an utter waste both of energy and heart muscle. In these days when the strain of modern competition and high-speed mental work keeps one's heart constantly working at high pressure (thereby tending to produce premature wear ing out) anything which can possibly add to the work thrown on the heart. ought to be strenuously avoided. Caffeine, the powerful heart irritant contained both in coffee and tea, U one of these substances. It is to meet the growing demand for a caffeine-free bev erage, delicious and as appetizing as tea or coffee, that Postum was invented.

It is officially reported that 710 members of the organization have paid next year's dues and the club leaders Insist that their association is unique in showing such a large percentage of members who rush in to pay long be fore the dues are required from them. In the past the King County railroad employes have not been a winning fac tor in local politics, although in Ta coma the railroad men have been able for several years to force recognition for both elective and appointive of fices, y "It Isn't the railroad man with a Job we want recognized," said one of the officers of the club today. "We plan to withhold Indorsement from any rail road man who is regularly employed and for whom there is no reason to change his occupation. "There are many good, competent men who for various reasons are out of employment with railroads. If these men are qualified for public service we have a right and we think we have a duty to demand their recognition. Every other political factor is recog nized except the railroad man, and yet we could cast about 8 per cent of the vote In this county." Use common sense, buy Superior coal, S a ton Main 154.
