DIDN'T QUIT
Because she Never started.

Many people have been interested in the
reports of persons made i'll by coffee
drinking and cured by quitting and using
Postum Food Coffee. OF course. the leav-
ing off of the poison of coffee by highly
organized people whose systems are af-
fected by it, is great hep in itself, but
the biggest end of the help is in the
elements furnished by Postum Food Cof-
fee. This is a true food drink Of the high

A lady who has never been addicted to
tea. or coffee drinking, was reduced by
stomach trouble to a condition of nervous
prostration with heart trouble, insomnia,

that the Doctor said she could not get

to her attention, she quit taking medicine
and went to using Postum. She says: 1T

lis Bankruptcy Due 10 Marietta and
North Georgia Railroad, Says
George ID. Eager.


Boston, Feb. 1s.-George r. Eager, a
railroad builder, who filed petition in
bankruptcy for over 100000 with assets
of only So to-day said his indebtedness
was due to the failure of the Marietta
and North Georgia Railroad shortly after
he had built it in 1890. He says:
THE smash was directly connected
with the failure in London of the Bar
ing Brothers. If l had been able to hold
on to the railroad for a year or two
longer I would have been able to square
all of its Indebtedness without difficulty.
Il was forced to this action by the at
titude of one of my creditors, whom
had saved from financial ruin in Phila-
del0hia.
This man held $4,000 of the bonds of
the Georgia Railroad when it failed, and,
III telling me of the Sc
rious condition he would be
in if their value deprecated. | gave him
my note for $4,000 and in addition s., 900
in securities, taking over half of the
bonds, for the purchase of which he had
borrowed money of a bank.
Nearly 100000 of the amount set as
my liabilities is for accrued interest, and
l believe that a large portion of the bal
ance will be found to be outlawed My
actual amount of liabilities will probably
not exceed $400, 900.
II have built and seen grow into high
ly successful Institutions the Cincinnati
Rockport and Western Railroad, the Nam
tasket Beach Railroad, the Knoxville.
Cumberland Gap and Louisville Line. the
Marietta and North Georgia Railroad and
later the Knoxville, Southern Georgia and
Tennessee Railroad"

ALLEN FOR COMMISSIONER.
mississippi Private Has House and
Senate for Him.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Private John AL
len of Mississippi. who gave up his seat
in the House of Representatives to make
an unsuccessful fight for the Senate, is
a candidate for one of the United States
commissionerships. in connection with the
coming St. Louis Exposition These posi-
tons are worth $1,000 a year, and the
term of service covers a period of about
three years.
Within the past three or four days the
President has been confronted with pc
tition in behalf of The House Jester -
signed by all the members of the Senate
and House of Representatives without re-
gard to party. AS a further evidence of
Mr.. Aliens popularity in both branches
of Congress, many Senators and Repre-
sentatives have made personal appeals to
the President in his behalf
Unlike many so-called statesmen. who
are relegated to the rear, John Allen is
frank enough to say that "A local law
practice in a small town is very we'll in
its way. but there is something seductive
and fascinating about having ones name
on Uncle Sans payroll. The salary comes
so regularly"
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Allen,
who claims to be the only private" who
survived the War of the States, and had
the courage to acknowledge the fact and
thereby escape the title of major or
colonel, will receive favorable considera-
ton at the hands of the President, who
is a warm personal friend of Private
John Allen"
