Continued from Third page.

tic of their descendants in the new
world -
Mr.. Fieke said that in the new
world descendants of Greeks and Ro-
mans. of Teutonics, Celts and Slavs,
united in forming n new nation,
unique and full of promise-the Amer
lean nation. Teutonic stock was here
to rule. and under Anglo-Saxon lead
ership these people were to vie with
each other in building up a common
wealth whose lustre was to extend far
beyond its own confines, and which
was destined to become a guiding star
to other nations. when / recall
that the population of our fast-grOw-
ing commonwealth was less than B.
600. goo in 1880; that it had risen To
IS, 600. 900 in 1870, and has sins,e
reached 1000, 900 in spite of the tFv-
ing years of its history continued
Mr. Eicke- When 1 also recall that
IN 1890. when this republic was in the
blush of its youth, its center of popu-
lation was east of the city of Balti-
more; that 20 years later this center
was 40 miles west of Washington: that
then it crossed West Virginia. and in
1860 was near ChiIlicothe, Ohio: that
il then crossed the line of Indiana, and
in 1890 rested half way across that
state near the city OF Columbus. and
that with every rising sun this center
draws nearer to the confines of the
state in which lie two of the tri-cities
today represented ut this exposition.
When Furthermore recall that this
center of population which at one
time was as far south as IS degrees
and ~ r,,iuutas north latit u1q has
reached its highest mort hwesterly
point and is still tending toward the
great northwest. When / recall all
this, see the day fast approaching

"A short time ago l was visiting in
New York state, Massachusetts and
Connecticut, and / was particularly
impressed with the number of times
l was asked what L knew about Pos
tum Cereal Food Coffee, made at Bat
tie Greek.
i generally replied that I had never
used Postum, but knew of a good
many who did, and | knew that it was
made by men who devoted their time
and study TO the perfection of food
and food beverages.

lone of my former classmates, Mrs
+. Kinslev, of Westiield, Mass.
seemed greatly surprised that l haC
never used Postum. The family wer,
very enthusiastic over its effects upon
them. Said they could not enjoy life
without it. The physician had rec
commended total obstinence from cof
fee, as she had injured her digestive
organs by using it, and was consid.
cred n confirmed and incurable dys.
peptic, but when put upon Postum
| Cereal Food Coffee, she immediately
| began to get well. and left off the
drugs and the coffee Now she i:
able to eat anything she likes without
| life before had been one of suffering,
and it is now one'of enjoyment. She
said it would be impossible so speak
too highly in its praise.
when l was in WestfieId eight
years ago. l visited Mr.. Albert At
kins, who was then a very great suf-
ferer. Both he and his friends did
not think it possible for him to live
more than n short time. | found him
so well on this visit that l insisted
upon knowing what made the change.
He said he had visited every point of
the compass. and tried almost every
thing he had ever heard recon-
mended, but all of no avail, until he
was led by the Postum Cereal artf-
cles to suspect that the little coffee he
drank was really poisoning him dav
by day, and from the very time that
he quit coffee entirely and began to use
Postum, he began to get better. He
is very wealthy man and travels a
great deal, but says he never leaves
home for one night without his outfit
of-Postum.
"While at Jamaica Plains, Mass,
visited retired sea captains home
He said in all his experience, far and
near, on land or water, he had never
found any beverage that would COM
pare with Postum Cereal Food Coffee.
While he used to drink coffee he sui
fered with headaches, drowsiness and
an unnatural thickening of the blood,
but since quitting the common coffee
and using Postum, he was flee from
all his ailments. l drank my first
cup of Postum with him, and to my
surprise, found it very delicious,
palatable drink, which | have since
used with favorable results. l can
not tell half of what | heard in praise
of Postum during my visit in the east.
1t is suilicientto say that Postum has
a very firm foothold with my eastern
friends
Il wish to add that on one or two
occasions / have had Postum served
to me rather fiat, but always know in
such cases that it is simply because it
has not been allowed to boil long
enough TO bring out the delicate and
well known flavor"

Despite the condition of the wealth
er, which could not very well have
been less favorable, the special that
went from the tri-cities last night
carried $50 people from Rock Island.
Davenport and Moline, to participate
in the days demonstration. The Rock
Island delegation numbered 100 and
was headed by Mayor Medill. The
Davenporters were headed by Mayor
Baker and eX-Mayors Smith and
Fickc, and the party was accompanied
by band composed of 80 pieces of
the best talent in the Otto and Strasser
ser organizations, which wa to conduct
the party to the exposition grounds,
and take part in the program at the

II coaches and was drawn by a

locomotives.
Besides this number the Burlington
took out 16 people from Rock Island
for Omaha via Galesburg.
Telegraphic communication with
Chicago was impossible last evening,
over the lines of the Rock Island road,
and as 4 consequence the tri-city spe-
cial pulled out for the west sometime
ahead of the regular evening limited
