A PHYSICIAN HURT.
Helped Himself.

F1eipe0 ftlm86If.
When the doctor himself brings on
heart disease by the use of coffee it is
time for ordinary people to think care
fully of the effect of that beverage
The testimony of DR.. o. w. Mathew
son, 1854 Penn. Ave-, Des Moines, Ia,
is as follows. His letter is rather long
and this extract is necessarily con-
densed.
Il am a physician of eighteen years
practice. I felt the need of stimu-
liant and for five or six years of my
practice used strong coffee. Eight or
ten years ago / began to notice symp-
toms of heart disease. This seemed to
be a regular organic type and year by
year became aggravated. Dizziness,
faintness and later, inability to walk
at times.
Physicians could find no marked
symptoms of disease but thought there
might be of a kind that escaped OBJ
servation. Finally became confirm
ed invalid and gave up practice.
Several years elapsed with the
symptoms growing worse. I was con-
sidered as marked for an early grave.
1t finally became impressed upon me to
give up coffee. This ! found easier to
do when Postum Food Coffee was used
in its place. l did this more to satisfy
my friends than with any hope of ben
eft from such simple change, espe-
cially in such an incurable case as
mine. was debilitated and very weak
and about thirty pounds short of my
old weight.
From the first week noticed
marked change, and within three
was almost fully restored to
my old strength and health. These
facts are known to hundreds of my
friends and acQuaintances.'

WEEK OR SELF DENIAL.
Salvation Army to Receive contribu-
tons for Relief Fund.

salvation Army 20 Receive Contripu.
tons for Relief Fund.
Commencing Sunday, April 6, the
Salvation Army turnout the country
will observe the week of prayer and
self denial. This is an annual feature
of the army work and is considered as
important as is the great effort to feed
the poor at Christmas time. To the
average layman it appears that the ev-
ery-day life of the Salvation Army
worker sufficiently savored of self de-
NAL, without the Introduction of spe-
cial week. With feeding the poor, as
sisting the needy to clothing, reclaim
ing the fallen and sheltering the home
less as their everyday work, they are
approaching special week in which
prayer will be continuously offered for
the salvation of the lost, and to back up
their prayer by works, will stint them
selves of part of their daily fare and
absolutely cut off all creature COM
forts, handing over the money thus
saved to the general work of the army.
Other churches will be asked and prob
ably will contribute to this self denial
fund.

A Minneapolis Story.

The Minneapolis Journal contains
the Following concerning the installa-
ton of the general accounting depart
ment in that city:
THE accounting department of the
Iowa Central railroad is now under
the direct supervision of Frank Nay.
general auditor of the Minneapolis &
St.Louis. OF the entire force of thir-
ty-seven maintained in the depart
msnt at Marshalltown, twenty-six
move to Minneapolis. The additiona,
ten or twelve men required have been
hired in Minneapolis. Quarters on
the twelfth floor of the Guaranty
building have been fitted up for the
new department. General Auditor
Nay will have total force of eighty
under him in the two departments.
The general freight and general pas
senger offices, as well as the purchas-
ing agent, are still maintained at Mar
shalltown. The work OF the engineers
Office Of the Iowa Central has been
handled by Chief Engineer Kelley of
the NJ. & st. L. for over year, and
this was centralized here still further
when his chief clerk at Marshalltown
was brought to Minneapolis on Jan. j.
1t is explained that these moves are
not due to the consolidation or any
intention to consolidate the two roads,
but simply to promote economy and
convenience in operation. The account
ing department. is the right arm Of
the general manager, and experience
has demonstrated that ordinary con-
venience demanded the removal Of the
accounting department here, with Mr..
Day in charge of the operation of both
roads. Marshalltown has been very
much excited over the proposed change
since it was first announced. A pre-
vious attempt to remove some of tho
general offices from that place resulted
In delegation of citizens visiting the
directors in New York and obtaining
their consent to revoke the orders of
the operating officials then in charge.
A Marshalltown paper states that
such trip would now be futile as the
present management is decidedly
strong with the New York directors
and officials"

apolis.

The Peoria Journal of yesterday pub
fishes pipe dream about changing
the name of the Iowa Central on May l
apparently basing its conclusions on
the fact of the recent transfer of the
general accounting department to Min
neapolis and the resignation OF Mr..
Batty, general passenger and ticket
agent, effective May i.
There are several things, however, to
those more conversant with Iowa Cen :
trail affairs, that takes the color out OF
the Peoria story, and makes 1T appear
ridiculous The Iowa Central will re-
main under it's present name, in all
probability, for several years to come,
or until the time arrives when the road
is on paying basis, and on an equality
with the northern road, the owners OF
which control both. Millions are to be
spent in Improvement of the Iowa
property. in order to make 1t railroad
In every sense of the word, and because
the management sees At to economic
in certain heads Of departments, by
consolidating the same, 1t does not go to
show that the road is to be sold, con-
solidated or operated in any other way
than as separate and distinct proper
ty.
The Peoria story Is as follows:
"sWill the Iowa Central railroad
cease to be the Iowa Central after May
1?' is the question which is absorbing
the attention of railroad circles just
now. If there is anything in signs it
will. The Iowa Central has been the
property of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railroad for some months. and much
speculation has been INDUCED in as to
what their final disposition Of the prop
erty would be. The resignation of Mr..
George S. Batty as general passenger
agent to take effect May l. 1902, and the
immediate announcement that Mr..
Frank Nay, the present auditor of the
M. & st. L.. had been appointed auditor
of the Iowa Central lines, lends addi-
tional color to the story
Mr.. Nay has been auditor OF the NJ.
& st. l.. for several years and has been
porauon's interests Edwin Hawley of
New York city is president of both
roads, and L. F. Day of Minneapolis is
vice president of the same lines. The
gradual disposition of the present Off
Gals of the Iowa Central and the sub
stitution in their places of M. & st. l..
officials, and the merging of the offices
of the two roads, certainly seems to in
dicate that the Iowa Central will cease
to exist by that name after the first Of
May, on which day all the new APP
pointees will assume charge of the
general offices of the present Iowa Cen
trail.
The M. & ST. L. is strong corpora
ton and when they have assumed com
plete control it is not unlikely that
there will be many important changes
made in the train service of the Peoria
road. Peoria railroad men sconversant
with the situation are all of the opinion
that this is the move that will be
made"

A UNIDENTIFIED HELpMEEr.

The Rev. Clinton Locke who was for nearly half a century rector at Grace Episcopal church in Chicago, was the immediate predecessor of Ernest M. Stires recently called to New York. Dr. Locke tells this story of how his quick witted wife once saved him from an awkward situation. One afternoon, while enjoying a good book in the par lor his wife noticed a woman coming up the front steps whom he particular 1y detested, The doctor fled precipi- tately, leaving his wife to meet the call CT After a half hour had passed Dr. Locke came out of his study and listen- ed at the head of the stairs. Hearing nothing below, he called down to his wife:
 Has that horrible old bore gone yet?"
 The caller was still there. Mrs Locke was equal to the emergency, however, and she called back:
