THE DOCTOR SAID
'.stop Coffee and Use Postum Cereal Coffee

"Stop Coffee and Use Postum Cereal Coffee
 "It seemed a hard matter to get through breakfast without cup of hot coffee, so I stuck to it for several years, although I was a great sufferer from sick headaches, which sometimes attacked me as often as three times a week. I used to take medicine for my head troubles, not knowing the cause of them, and kept on drinking cof- fee, until I finally came down with se- rious stomach trouble and had to go to the doctor. He said I had dyspepsia in a bad form and some other complications; that I must stop drinking coffee and tea for a year or more I got hold of the Postum Food Coffee, and since using it. have been entirely free from the headaches and stom- ach trouble.
 "It has evidently been a great benefit for me- for my health has even revived and I have grown f1eshy since beginning it's use. My husband and daughter also drink Pos tum and like 1t very much. Daughter does not think she can have breakfast without her Postum. I find people occasionally who have tried Postum, but complain that it is not strong enough. find in such cases that they are either helter-sketer housekeepers or have been very careless in the prepara- tion of the Postum Food Coffee. Itrequires full fifteen minutes of actual boiling after the bubbling begins. and two heaping tea- spoonfuls to the person. This gives an ele- gant cup of coffee. Any one who is troubled with coffee drinking can well afford to abandon it and take up the Postum Food Coffee" Mrs. l.. W. Bell, 2532 Nicolet Ave, Minneapolis, Minn
 Some good housekeepers mix the Postum, four heaping teaspoons to the pint of water in very little water, and place 1t in tall coffee pot so it will not boil over, then after 1t has begun to boil and been stirred down, they add enough water to make up the re- quste amount of liquid

State Mine Inspector J. DeB. Hooper at the end of December estimated that the production for 1899 would approximate 7,50O,- 900 tons and the final figures show that he did not miss the mark very far.
 The output for 1900 is estimated at over S,0O0,O0O tons, and unless something develops to stop work at the mines for a portion of the year thls Is rather likely to be under than over the actual production.
 As will be seen by the figures above the Jefferson county mines produced considera- bly, more than half of the entire output of the state.

ury was yesterday called TO the attention

THE COMMISSIONERS OBJECT.
Power of Revising school Estimates
ShouId Rcmnin in Their Hands.

Power of Revising school Estimates
should Remain in Their Hands.
The District Commissioners yesterday
filed with Senator Allison, Chairman of the
Senate Appropriations Committee. an OBJ
lection to a clause in the District bill re-
lating to the public schools. If the clause
stands as reported by the committee. the
Commissioners say. and the bill should be
enacted, it would take from the Commits
sioners the power to modify the annual es-
Inmates for school purposes as proposed by
the board Of trustees.
The Commissioners assert that it would
add to the fixed charges, consisting now of
the appropriation for the sinking fund, es-
timated by the Treasurer of the United
States. and the appropriation for the
militia which the Commissioners are re-
quired by law to submit to Congress. as
estimated by the commanding general. the
large amount required for the public school
system.
The Commissioners claim that the power
of revision of such estimates should be in
their control as otherwise the trustees to
be appointed under the provisions Of the
act might estimate for such a proportion Of
the District revenues as to seriously Grip
pie and embarrdss the administration Of
affairs. The Commissioners therefore
urge such amendment Of the bill as shall
leave in their hands the revision of the es-
Inmates made for school purposes by the
board OF trustees
