SHE QUIT. But 1t Was a Hard Pull.

It is hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such condition as it did Mrs. E. s. Brown. of Apple Creek, O. She tells her own story.
 q did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, nor could not quit drinking it. even if 1t took my life, but 1 was miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nervous prostration for four years. I was scarcely able to be around at all. Had no energy and did not care for anything. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure 1t. For months I never went to bed expecting to get up in the morning. I felt as though was liable to die any time during the night.
 Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitment would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time it came over me and I asked myself what is the use of being sick all the time and buying medicine so that could indulge myself in coffee.
 "So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee and got some Post um Food Coffee to help me quit. made 1t strictly according to directions and I want to tell you that change was the greatest step in my life It was easy to quiet coffee because l had the Postum which liked better than like the old coffee. One by one the old troubles left, until now am in splendid health. nerves steady. heart all right and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills. don't take any medicine. can do all my housework and have done a great deal beside.
 My sister-in-Iaw, who visited me this summer. had been an invalid for some time much as I was I got her to quit coffee and drink Postum. She gained five pounds in three weeks. and I never saw such change in anyone's health Anyone, by writing me. can receive yeri- fication lof these statements."

Pencil Drawings Have Been Completed and Blue Prints
 Are Being Made PLANT WILL COVER 40 ACRES Will Be One of the Most Modern In the World-Every Large Machine
 Will Be Run By Separate
 Electric Motor.

! Pencil drawings for the new car plant
 of the scuthern Car and Foundry Com
 pany to be located ct Ensley have been
 completed and finished drawings are now
 being made by the engineering company
 which has the contract for the plans. These plans will be completed within 6 few days time, and the actual work of
 building the new car works will be com
 menced within thirty days time. The Os- born Engineering Company of Cleveland, O., has in charge the plans of the com pany. and the completion of the draw ings.
 The grounds for the plant have been stalled off by the engineering forces, and grading will be begun at once. The com pay owns sixty acres of land adjoining the rolling mills of the Tennessee Com pany, but the shops and plant will only cover forty acres at the present time, though later additions may be made so
 that the entire plot of ground may be
 covered.
 It was at first the intention of the com pany to remove the plant at Memphis
 to this point. Later this plan was
 changed, and it was decided to erect the
 Ensley plant as a separate and distinct
 plant from that at Memphis. Anniston or Gadsden, or the other shops. When the
 work is begun 1t will be rushed as much
 as possible and pushed to completion. Plant Will Be Modern. The new plant will be one of the most
 modern in the world. All of the very
 latest machinery in the modern market for the manufacture of cars will be placed in the shops, and every addition possible
 will be made to the working force.
 Each of the large machines will be run by separate motor electricity being used exclusively in the manufacture of the
 cars The question of motive power will In itself give employment to many per sons.
 The structural steel for the plant will be rolled in the shops of the Tennessee Com pany adjoining the plant of the. ear com l pany and every modern convenience fol the transportation of the products will be
 used The capacity of the shops will be twenty finished cars per day. Employ
 ment will be given 1000 men with month
 ly pay roll of more than S60,000.

 Ways of Saving Money.
 "The city is saving money in many small ways. Out at the barn it has a hog pen with about twenty or thirty hogs. 'The whole outfit costs the city $20, and they are fed by the refuse from the pris- ons, and in turn are fed to the prisoners They cost nothing and save the city large meat bills.
 Another item of expense is saved to the city by trusty at the barn. This negro is in charge of things when Fore man Coleman is absent. He is serving a sentence for some small offense, prob ably shooting craps and sal last winter he drove small pox patients to the pest house Formerly this cost the city s for each patient, but we bought two wagons at a cost of about $25 each, one fumigating and one transfer wagon, and this negro did the driving.
 Street Commissioner McCartin.
 "A visit to the barn will show how Street Commissioner McCartin has sys- tematized the street work. There are two gangs of mules, those that work on the streets at night, and those that work in the day. They all look well kept and everything ahOut the Dlace is clean and orderly.
 with a few more teams added to our force I see no reason why the work of removing the city's garbage could not be done better and cheaper under the direc- tion of Street Commissioner McCartin than by the present contract system. We already have the plant, so to speak. and all that is needed is a small additional outlay for teams and wagons. '.
 The Dust Devil.
 "What about the dust devil?" the mayor was asked
 'The city is now sprinkling all the prin- cipal streets which have been paved" re- piled the mayor This sprinkling is done late in the afternoon and at night. and only for laying the dust for the street sweepers The city Is at present not at- tempting to keep the dust laid during the day. In case we should decide to sprinkle the principal thoroughfares during the day we would require at least two more sprinklers. Later on in the summer if we find their cost of operation cheap enough, we may put on two more sprinklers, but this is hardly probable"

Amount of Work Done.

'The city now has twelve or fifteen teams and wagons, and is doing all the work necessary to be done on the streets except the removal of garbage. It is doing all the grading filling and repair work that is needed, both in opening new streets and keeping the present ones in repair"
 ITO give you some idea continued the Mayor, "of the amount of work done bv the citys teams. I might mention the fact that 917 loads of dirt are hauled by seven two-horse teams last week from where they are grading Twenty-fourth street These wagons hold about nc and quarter yards The average wagon holds about yard. Part of this time two of the teams were also engaged in blowing the street
 This dirt that is taken out of the street is sold whenever possible at from 10 to 2G cents a yard. At this price it pays the operating expenses of the teams engaged in that particular work. Last year the average expense of each two-horse team of the city was $159 a day. This included every expense-drivers, feed, horseshoe ing, etc. The workers are mostly city prisoners; many of whom are 'trusties,' and are really as good laborers as can be found anywhere. Many of them have been convicted of small offenses. such as play ing craps and petty larcenies.
 The City's Barn.
 'The city has a stock barn at Avenue I and Seventh street. This is one of the best barns in the city. It was built last year at comparatively small expense. It has room for .32 head of stock. and a large loft overhead for hay and feed. Since this was built the city saves a good deal of money on hay alone. We now buy 1t by the carload instead of by the ton, and save about $2 per ton. There is a house at the barn where the trusty pris- oners sleep. The bad ones sleep at the city stockade on the South Side Be
