One of my former classmates, Mrs. E.
Kinsley of Wsstfeld, Mass. seemed
greatly surprised that I had never used
Postum. The family were very enthus1
astic over its effect upon them. Said they
could not ENJOY life without it. The
physician had recommended total asbti-
hence from coffee, as she had injured her
digestive organs by using it, and was
considered confirmed and incurable dys-
peptio, but when put upon Postum Cereal
Food Coffee, she Immediately began to
get well, and left off the drugs and the
coffee. Now she is able to eat anything
she likes without the least symptom of
disease. Her life before had been one Of
suffering, and it is now one of enjoy
ment. She said 1t would be impossible
to speak too highly in it's praise.
When l was in Westfeld eight years ago
I visited Mr.. Albert Atkins, who WAC
then very great sufferer. Both he and
his friends did not think it possible for
him to live more than short time. l
found him so well on this visit that in
sisted upon knowing what made the
change. He said he had visited every
point of the compass, and tried almost
everything he had ever heard recommend
cd, but all Of no avail, until he was led
BIZ the Postum Cereal articles to suspect
that the little coffee he drank was really
poisoning him day by day, and from the
very time that he quit coffee entirely and
began to use Pos cum, he began to get
better. Re Is q very wealthy man and
travels great deal, but says he never
leaves home for one night without his
outfit Of Postum.
While at Jamaica Plains, Mass,
visited a retired sea captains home. Tic
said in all his experience, far and near,
on land or water, he had never found any
UNI Cereal Food Coffee. While he used to
drink coffee he suffered with headaches,
drowsiness and an unnatural thickening
of the blood, but since quitting the COM
mon coffee and using Postum, he was
free from all his ailments. I drank my
first cup of P ostum with him, and to my
surprise found 1t very delicious, palat-
able drink, which have since used with
favorable results. / cannot tell half of
what l heard in praise of Postum during
my visit in the East 1t is sufficient to
say that Postum has very firm foothold
with my Eastern friends.

siens have had Postum served to me

cases that it is simply becaus it has not

exterior, with the free use Of ornamental
columns, but no massive columns appear
to break the view of the audience from
any point. The immense roof OF the
structure is supported entirely by truss

by the architects to the problem OF

with staff 1t will form a most imposing
sight. A staff statue Of Liberty enlight-

which the figure will stand being $50
feet from the ground. The floor space

The States are generally taking an in
terest in the exposition. Nebraska has
appropriated 100000 for building and
exhibit, and Douglas county, Of which
Omaha is the county seat, has voted
bonds to the amount of 100000. Several
other Nebraska counties have set aside
sums for exposition purposes.
The main entrance to the exposition
Is commemorative Of the Trans Mississ-
ippi by the Arch of States, one Of the not
able structures which will attract the at
tention of visitors. 1t is hanked upon
either side by exedras which advance in
semicircles partially embracing the plaza
before the arch. In these eXedras are
the main ticket offices. The arch itself
is fifty feet wide, twenty-five feet deep,
and sixty-eight feet to the top Of Its par
apet. 1t is in the form of triumphal
arch, the opening being twenty feet wide
and thirty-fiVe feet high to the keystone
Strong, simple abutments are on either
side, assisting the arch to carry an ex-
tremely rich and broad frieze consisting
of double arcade of twenty-four arches
containing shields decorated in color
with the coats Of arms of the TRANSMITS

peated upon the other side Of the arch
while upon the ends the coats of arms of
the remaining States OF the Union will

advanced than any Of the others The
contract provides that it Is to be COM

the government engineer in charge Of the
construction, says the building will be
ready before that time. He has already
notified the several departments which
are to make exhibits in the building
that exhibits may be shipped at once,
as the building will be ready to receive
them by the time they can arrive. The
building is entirely under roof, except

literally treated with Corinthlan col

is a square pavilion rising above the
main lines OF the structure.
Statuary is freely used on the exterior
Of the building, designed along lines
which convey at once to the eye the gen.

use to which 1t Is devoted, AT each cor

In point of beauty, one Of the most
striking buildings at the exposition will
be the Auditorium. This is the building

citizens do their share toward securing
a creditable Kansas exhibit. It will oc-

architecture, literally embellished with
ornamentation drawn from the mex

sance. The first story is Of ashlar work,
with arched openings, while the second
story is treated with columns on the
