On the contrary, have gained gradually
In strength and sturdy health. All who
have spoken to me about Postum agree,
and we have found It so. that the direc-
items for making must be followed and ii
must be boiled at least fifteen minutes. or
more, and 1t also requires the addition OF
good cream. We have tried boiling 1t
few minutes when in special hurry, but

Texas Crop Conditions.

Cnrglll & Richardson say in their cir
culsr
over large portion OF the State the crop
is improving daily. Fields that were neg
lected during the rains are now being
worked. New growth is forming on the
plant and although weevil, boil worms and
rust are unquesuonaby doing some damage
in sections the situation in this State as a
whole Is undoubtedly much more promising,
and is causing farmers TO rush picking and
marketing. Wire and phone adviccs from d
number of points in the interior today re-
port very good wagon receipts during the
forenoon, and. barring bad weather. a liberal
movement to Houston and New Orleans will
be seen by the end OF next week Cotton is
also being marketed to some extent IN the
East. Crop accounts from proba by helf of
the belt outside of Texas are OF a dismal
character, and 1t is doubtful II the improve
ment in Texas will offset the deterioration
elsewhere. Operators should not ,oso sight
OF this. The visible supply is likely at its
