"OId saws are sometimes broken. "A
man convinced against his will is of his
own opinion STILL I have seen that
badly smashed. a friend came in to see
me some time ago while I was In bed
with nervous prostratiOn.
The physician had strictly forbidden
me to use coffee. and had tried a lit
tie Postum Cereal Food Coffee, but. the
way 1t was served, it tasted so fat that

Casionally drank a cup of coffee, al

said. why, my dear, you have been
imposed upon. If you once have Pos
tum made right, you will be in love with
1t from that time on I listened to her
with little interest and much inCreduli-
ty, but she kept on insisting.
Shortly after. when 1 recovered a lit
tie, was visiting friends house, who
asked me If I would like a cup of Pos
tum. and when it was served, is tasted
no better than mine had, so you see
had, apparently, a most thorough ex-
perienCe with the taste Of Postum and

snsipid.
However. found for the good of nv
health, must drink it. and so when I
got home and was a. little stronger, I
determined to see If 1t could not be
made to taste better. I looked at the
package carefully and found that the
directions were very plain. that the
Postum must be allowed actual boiling
OF at least fifteen minutes. I put 1t on
an cold water It took about fifteen
minutes before it commenced to boil.

It is strange that people try and try

TO CLOSE SILK MILLS.
Labor Troubles at Crefeld May Stop
10000 Looms in the Factories.

Cologne. Dec. 1.-THE threat of the
workmen employed on the 5000 silk looms
of Crefeld to go on a strike out Of Sympa-

of Ernst. Englaender & Co. has been an
swered by the employers with "A threat to

the end of the difficulty. and they have
issued a notice that they viii close their
factories in fourteen days unless the

401, $50 last year. AS the wheat output
in December of last year was close to
the largest on record, the returns this
year show a really surprising gain.
While prices have been three cents
stronger for cash, the western receipts
for two weeks of December have been
about 100000 bushels greater than last
year.
The corn movement is the most as
tonishing feature of the business, the
exports for three weeks have been l.
1877, 1902 bushels, against 6,326,894 bushels
last year, and the price has advanced
one cent for the week. Should such a
demand for American corn continue it
would be of enormous value to western
farmers.

NO. eee A SUCCESS.
The Big Mountain Engine Built at
the Topeka Shops Works Well

Compound consolidated engine No. 999
has proven herself all that was expected
and her performances on the mountain
divisions have been extraordinary.
Recently the 999 made a run from
La Junta to Thatcher, a distance of so
miles, up grade, with 986 tons, in one
hour and so minutes. This is considered
a very good record.
The 999 is the largest engine ever
built in the Santa Fe shops at Topeka.
Before going to the mountains the en-
CINE was thoroughly tested in the yards
and was found to be a success. Other
engines of this type will probably be
built for the same kind of work.
