CLERGYMAN'S CHILDREN.
Coffee Being Replaced by Postum
 Food Coffee.

'I am the wife of a minister. About three years ago a warm friend. an eXem- plary mother and the conscientious wife of A minister, asked me if l had ever tried giving up coffee and using the Pos tum Food Coffee. I had been telling her of my excessive nervousness and i'll health. She said: We drink nothing else for breakfast but Postum Food Coffee, and it is a delight and a comfort to have something that we do not have to refuse the children when they ask for it.
 II was surprised that she would permit the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she explained that 1t was most healthful beverage and that the chill dren thriyed on it. A very little thought convinced me that for brainwork one should not rely upon a stimulant such as coffee is, but should have food and the very best of food.
 My first trial of Postum was a failure. The maid of all work brought 1t to the table, lukewarm, weak, and altogether lacking in character. We were in despair, but decided on one more trial At the second trial, we faithfully followed the directions used four teaspoonsful to the pint of water. let 1t boil full fifteen min utes after the real boiling began, and served it with rich cream. It was deli cious and We were all won.
 T have since sung the praises of Pos tum Food Coffee on many, many occa- sions and have induced numbers of friends to abandon coffee and use Pos tum. with remarkable results. The wife of college profess or said to me a short time ago that nothing had ever produced SO marked change in her husband s health as the leaving off of coffee and the use of Postum Food Coffee" Edith Smith Davis.

L, & N. SCOOP SPREADS
THE WHOLE COUNTRY AROUSED
 BY ALLEGED DEAL.
Rumor Has It Now That J. Pierpont Morgan Will Consolidate L.
 and N., Southern and !. Seaboard Lines.

From New York to New Orleans the newspapers have reproduced the story. first published in The Advertiser, of the Louisville and Nashville's scoop of the New Orleans and Northeastern. One of the Louisville papers substantiates the story after giving some sound arguments to uphold it.
 Frank s. Cannon. Third vice-President and General Manager of the Southern, was in Montgomery Sunday. but would not say anything about either the truth or falsity of the story. The only thing given out was that he, with his wife, son and secretary, was en route to Savan- nah. Whether his visit to Montgomery had any connection with the Northeast ern story Is problematical, only surmises being obtainable.
 Almost on the heels of The Advertisers s story comes the following from New York:
 All of the Morgan stocks were strong yesterday. Southern Railway sold up to 34 3-4 The advance in Southern Railway was due to a report that as soon as the Northern Pacific matter Is out of the way Mir. Morgan will undertake the consolida- ton of the Southern Railway, Louisville and Nashville and Seaboard Air Line. His plan Is to extend the community of interests idea to the South, where compe- tition has been very kesn in the last four years.'
 Twice in the last twelve months has V. E. McBee, Fourth Vice. President of the system, and J. M. Barr, First Vice. President and General Manager paid wis., It's to Montgomery, surmises again being the only tangible result of their trip so far as the public could learn.
