HIT a SOLDIER.
The Experience of One of Our Men,

The soldier boys who fought during
Ii" Rebellion went home as Il rule in
pretty bad shape, caused by exposure
anu improper food nd the use OF
Quantities Of coffee which left it's mark

rili Hutchinson of Reading. Mass, tells
his experience.
II am an old soldier who served ali
through the war Of the Rebellion ana

day and ut the close of the war re-
turned home almost q wreck.
For years 1 had dyspepsia of the
worst kind and could not drink any
thing but warm water or warm milk.

years. and half living, l was told by u
fl lend of your Postum Coffee.

thought it meant more suffering fer

taste mighty good, for was. a dear low

stomach that always had come with
common coffee. but it never came.

BRADSTREET'S REPORT.
General Trade Good-Boot and Shoe
Business Is Active.

New York. Aug. 22.-Bradstreet's, to-
morrow. will say: Trade developments
are still largely favorable, fall jobbing
activity being widespread and reports
rs to collections are more uniformly
encouraging than for a long time.
Fall trade is now in full swing at
most of the leading centers. Buying
of dry goods, shoes, clothing and milli-
merry is elaborate. The shoe and leather
trade is in an interesting condition.
Buying of shoes is active at Western
points and manufacturers are busy,
while tanners sales are large. AT the
East. Philadelphia manufacturers are
busy and sole leather is active. The
New England industry, while in better
shape than for some time past, reports
little money in the business. Leather
tend upward and hides are very
strong. Heavy upper and sole leather
is especially firm and offers of some
shoe manufacturers to cover their
wants under the December or later at
present prices are rejected. The stu
alton of the Eastern shoe manu-
facturer between the jobber who says
the shoes must be sold at a price and
the leather man who demands higher
prices for his raw material, is reported
not satisfactory. Shoe shipments from
New England points are showing grad
ual gains from week to week but are
still below year ago for the week and
the season.
Business failures for the week end

EVEN THE BIRDS ADVERTISED THE
 FAIR.
 It was no wonder that the New Mill ford fair was success, when it is con- Sidered that even the'birds of the air joined in advertising it. A day or two previous to the fair Nicholas Glennon saw a large eagle rolling in air above where he was at work in the field. He saw the large bird had some bundle in it's claws and resolved to watch it. Finally through fright the eagle let go of the bundle. Seeing it fall MT Glennon sent one of his men to pick it up. The bundle proved to be bunch of New Milford fair circu- lars. It is supposed that the eagle se- cured the bundle of circulars from Sec retary Hungerford and had started out to bill the country in the vicinity of Green Mountain pond. It is doubt full if the Danbury fair officials can telra story to equal this. The best of all it is true
