AN ENENTFUL DAY
When Coffee Left the Household.

T never began to use coffee until after l began teaching school then good, motherly old dame served such nice coffee that she got me into the way of drinking it.
 Inside of a year l became a wreck from insomnia and nervous prostration Every afternoon I was so drowsy and filled with apprehension that I would have crying spells without knowing why.
 l laid around the house in misery, and was a misery to everyone else Once in a while a friend would tell me that coffee was the cause of my trou- ble. l reasoned with them that l only had one cup at breakfast and that was not enough to cause the trouble, but found that that was the secret-that one cup of coffee.
 It was an eventful day in our household when I quit coffee and started making Postum. 1 followed the directions and the result was wonder full; no other words express it. The Postum Coffee was of rich, beautiful color, and when cream was added looked as delicious as it tasted. doctor who was in the house tasted | the Postum and said that it was equal to the best Mocha or Java. then quick ly turned away as though it was in comprehensible. He suspected that there was coffee in it. but I have been as sured of the abso:ute purity of the Postum and have confidence in it. Nothing ever tasted better to me than
 that first. welI-made cup of Postum.
 and never since have l tasted coffee, and I now look back with horror upon the sickness il caused. We began ve:y quickly to see the difference between
 my condition under Postum and under despair and rcstlessness which op- pressed me every afternoon ant: i be
 gan to sleep like q baby. Postum must
 be given the credit for all my improve ment.
 A word about tea also. One time when l was visiting I had Q package of PostUm with me. It gave out before I could get another. l had tea for break fast. Within q few days the old wretched feeling that coffee used to give me came back. and all through
 the long afternoon I felt that I must
 weep and weep, though really over
 nothing at all
 Insomnia came back, but | quickly
 quit the tea and got all right again Name given by rostum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
 Postum is an absolutely pure product of the cereals as analysed by some of the best chemists in America and passed upon by the various pure food commissioners nf the different states.

SPANISH TRADE
 STEADY GROWTH
Figures of the Treasury Bu-
 reau of Statistics
The Business Both Ways Last Year Was Greater Than Within Any Corresponding Period-Some In- teresting Figures.

Washington. March 14.-(Special.)- Commercial rela tions between the Unit ed States and Spain have been resumed with apparently greater cordiality and certainly with greater activity than ever before. The figures of the treas ury bureau of statistics show that both the imports into the United States from Spain and exports from the United States to Spain were greater in the calendar year 1901 than in any preced- ing year. Our imports from Spain dur ing the year ending with December. 1901. amounted to $1.040, 75S and our ex ports to Spain were $16,7S5, Ill. Com pairing 1901 with 1891, it is shown that our imports from Spain have grown from s4, ,906. .475 to s7,040. 75S. and that ex- ports to Spain from the United States have increased from s12,SS7r AT to $16, 5,111. Comparing present conditions with those of 1898, it appears that our imports from Spain have increased from S3.60S, ,30S in 1898 to the above men toned figure. s7,040, 75S, and our exports to Spain from sS,050,4I5 in 1898 to $16.- 1S5.711, as already stated.
 This growth in the commerce with Spain is especially interesting al the present moment in view of the fact that our exports to many of the other Eu- ropean countries show decline. In
 the calendar year 1901 our exports to Austria Hungary, France, Germany, Greece, Italy. Portugal. Russia, Sweden and Norway, Switzerland and the Unit
 ed Kingdom show a decrease as com pared with 1900, while to Spain they
 show an increase from s15, ,917 to $16.- 1 1S5,711. On the import side our imports
 from Austria Hungary, Germany, Rus
 sia, Sweden and Norway and Switzer- land show decrease while those from 1 Spain have increased from 8, ,3S2 662 jl | 1900 to -s704O. 75S in 1901.

 to 1901:

Imports Exports

The exports from the United States to Spain are chiefly articles for use in manufacturing, cotton. lumber crude mineral oil an tobacco being the prin- cipal articles in the list. by far JEe largest in the list being cotton. OuI imports from Spain are chiefly fruits and nuts, wines, chemicals. corks and cork ba K, and Tron ore of d special grade not readily produced in the United States. Lemons and oranges form much smaller proportion of inc imports now than a few years ago, due to the fact that citrus fruits are now largely produced in the United States The importation of raisins has also greatly reduced in value, by reason Of the increased production of raisins in the United States. Imports of preserved and other fruits from Spain have. on the other hand increased, as have also those of almonds and other nuts.
 The following tables show the prin- cipal articles imported into the United States from, and exported from the United States to Spain during the fis- cal year 1901, the detailed figures for the calendar year not being at present available:

Boston, March 1.-The labor situa- picking. To give weight to the state ment of the labor men who speak with out authority and who say that har- mony is not restored, is to make the outlook far more critical than at any time since the allied freight transport ation council began it's fight against the R. s. Brine Transportation com pany On the other hand Governor CraEe and the state board of arbitra- ton believe the problem is being solved quite rapidly. considering the immens- ity of the strike, and they only ask for time and patience from both the is- boring and business men to remove all obstacles to the resumption of freight traffic under ordinary conditions.
 As a matter of fact the strike was completely broken off today, although troubles cropped out in many quarters, some of which were arranged without delay and others dragged along in an uncertain state, so that they came In for consideration by labor bodies to- night. During these meetings, judging from what was argued by the men, independent strikes of the bodies seem to be impending, but the leaders in the strike just ended are sangiune that they still hold control of the entire or ganized labor body and will not again be obliged to order a strike of freight handlers or its more serious accompari- ment, a strike of the affiliated bodies. Tomorrow will show more clearly the conditions in this respect.
 The special side of the strike break ing today presented an army of work ing men rushing letter skeiter Ir get to their old positions. There mad heen more than 20,000 places vacated, hut fully 10 per cent of the men found che.r places filled. This was the reason for the friction all day, affecting only the men themselves, for concerns were too busy raising the embargo on goods in their keeping to give heed to the talk of unfairnesS. Freight began to move at docks, freight shells, iron. and to wholesale houses and factories ano upon streets, and by night great inroads had been made on the four days accu- mutation of goods. With the break ing of the strike employers of freight handlers, team drivers or Jumpers, rushed into print with calls for more help. Even concerns which heretofore had been bound to unionism, seem to have grasped the opportunity of hiring whom they liked. It is on this point, above all others, that the critical phase of the situation tonight hangs.
 The real battle today was between the men who control the strike and representatives of the great interests
 who have prevailed upon them to con- slider certain propositions as way to the settlement of the trouble. AS for three days past it was Governor Crane,

SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

Washington. March 14.-Throughous the session today the ship subsidy bill was under consideration. The measure was discussed by Messrs. Foraker of Ohio, McLaurin of Mississippi and Harris of Kansas. Mir. Foraker sup ported the bill, although he admitted he would have preferred to build up the American merchant marine by the levying of discriminating duties.
 Beth Messrs. McLaurin and Harris op- posed the measure on the ground that in their judgment it was not constitu- tional. They maintained that it was class legislation which amounted to lit tie short of robbery of the people for the benefit of few ship owners.

Hall of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad; President Futile of the Boston 6 Main, and Samuel Hoar. general council for the Boston x AL bany. al the state house at 4:30 o'clock. w. E. Chamberlain, general manager of the eastern division of the New Haven road, was also admitted into the executive chamber. They were with the governor half an hour.
 In the meantime a number of abor leaders who had been holding confer ences with the state board of nrbitra- ton and at labor quarters, arrived and were taken into the council chamber. For an hour the governor had alternate interviews between employer and en- ploye During these conferences Sec retary Easley of the National Civic federation came into the waiting room and saw the governor. He was accom- panied by Frank P. Sergeant of Cleve- land. chief of the Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Bremen, and George E. Me Neill of this city. Easley said he had attended a meeting of longshoreine during the afternoon and spoke there with Sergeant and McNeill.
 The meeting was 9 not one, but at the close the men all voted to sustain the officers and return to work. Several conferences ended early this evening, the men leaving before the railroad off, cials. The governor then granted an in terview with newspaper men. He said: "The situation looks very much more encouraging than last night. The rail- roads have all agreed to take back as many men as possible without dis crimination.
 ''As far as the steamship lines are concerned, I understand the men have returned or practically all of them. The railroad companies will not consent to discharge the men whom they hired in the place of the strikers, but they are we'll disposed to the men and are anxious to take back as many as pos sible. The question of loading and un- loading teams, while it came up incl dentally today. was not very much dis cussed. It will be taken up next week"
 The governor further said that Presf- dent Futile and the Boston & Albany officials had used every effort to get the men back. At East Boston, where 90 of the Boston & Maine men went out. all had been taken back. At the same place. where 120 of the Boston & Albany men went out, 10S had been given places
 by the railroad company. In the case
 of the New Haven road, he said, the company would be willing to take back
 as many as possible, but the question of requiring the men to sign an agree ment had not yet been arranged.
