VOLCANIC DUST COMING.

Weather Observer Outram believes
that the face of the sun will assume a
reddish hue at midday about the
middle of June. He bases this con-
clusion on the atmospheric phenome-
non which followed the eruption of
the volcano of Krakato, on the Malay
islands, Aug. 1921, 1883. The vol
canic dust from the crater reached
such height as to obscure the sun.
Scientists figured that it. took this dust
fifteen days to travel around the
world, following the equatorial line,
from whence it spread pole ward un-
til the entire upper strata of the at
mosphere was dust laden. The ex-
pected observation will come from the
Martinique. eruption.

Begin Monday.
Money Should all be in the Banks by
Friday Noon--F. H. Knee
land Returns.

Fred A. Kneeland returned at noon
Wednesday from Chicago, Cleveland and
Toledo, Ohio. BE visited the two latter
cities on the invitation of Samuel A.
Williams of New Haven, Conn. At
Toledo he saw street railway plant
put in by the Arbuckle, Ryan Co. of
that city, under the direction of En-
gineer Perkins, who was in Mankato
with the other eastern gentlemen.
The plant was first class in every
respect, and was similar to the one to
be put in in this city. Mr.. Perkins
will also have charge of the construc-
tion work in this city.
Mr.. Williams is in New Haven,
Conn, today, and will go to New
York tomorrow, to remain until Fri
day noon He is anxious that the
$50, 600 subscription be in the banks
by Friday noon. If he is notified at
that time that the money is in the
banks, he will go to Chicago Friday
night, where Messrs. Wehrly and Per-
kins of the Arbuckle, Ryan Co. will
join him. On Sa turday they will
order the necessary machinery and
come to Mankato Monday next to be-
gin work,
In order that the work may begin
thus promptly, a special effort should
be made to get the money in the bank
by Friday noon. Every subscri Der
should assist in bringing about this
result. If Mr.. Williams is not notified
that the money is in the bank at the
time stated, he will return to New
Haven, Conn, and delay in getting
started will occur.
Mr.. Kneeland states that Mr.. Will
liams had told Mr.. Collins that he
would sign either the Mankato propos'
ition or one from Benton Harbor and
st. Joe. Mich. parties at noon Satur'
day. the Michigan people had q
delegation on hand, and the matter
was coming their way when Mr..
Kneeland arrived Saturday morning.
1t took good deal of hard work or
the part of Messrs. Collins and Knee
land to get the Mankato CONTRACT
signed. Mr.. Williams said that ow
ing to the hard work done by Messrs
Collins Hixon and others, he would
sign the Mankato contract. He sign
ed the contract as amended, giving al
the concessions asked. The Michigan
people went home disappointed. Had
Mr.. Kneeland not gone to Chicago
Mankato would have been the city
turned down.
Mr. Kneeland was particularly i'm
pressed with the excellence of the CAR
used on the Toledo line. They arr
fifty-foot, nicely appointed and hand
somely painted cars. The same kint
are to be used in Mankato.
Messrs Williams. Wehrly. Perkins
and Collins and an engineer will come
to Mankato Monday. if the money il
raised Friday. A site for the powe
, house plant will be selected, measure
ments taken, etc, and plans for 1

WILL INTEREST EVERYBODY.
Or At Least Everyone Who Suffers
 From Catarrh.

Catarrh in its various forms is a na- tonal disease, and the fact that nearly everybody suffers from it more or less leads many to neglect its proper treat ment.
 Nasal catarrh is a common cause of headaches, destroys sense of smell and if neglected reaches the throat, causing im- pairment and sometimes total loss of voice. Bronchial catarh leads easily to liver are very serious and obstinate troubles. while it is now generally admit ted that catarrh Is the most common of all causes of deafness.
 All of the more serious forms of ca- tarrh begin with nasal catarrh. the local symptoms being profuse discharge stop page of nostrils, irritation and frequent clearing of the throat, sneezing, coughing and gagging.
 The old style of treatment with douches, inhaIers, sprays. salves. etc, simply give temporary relief and everyone who has used any of them knows how useless they are and their inconvenience is such that very few have the time or patience to continue their use
 A radical cure of catarrh can only be obtained from a treatment which removes the catarrhal taint from the blood because no one will now dispute that catarrh is constitutional or blood disease, and local applications can have no effect except to temporarily relieve local symptoms.
 A new remedy which has been remark ably successful in curing catarrh is pleasant tasting tablet which is taken internally and acts upon the blood and mucous membranes.
 It is composed of antiseptlc remedies like Red Gum. Blood root and similar cleansing specifics which eliminate the catarrhal poison from the system.
 The tablets being pleasant to the taste are dissolved in the mouth and thus reach the throat, trachea and finally the stom- ach and entire alimentary canal. They are sold by druggists everywhere under the name of Stuarts Catarrh Tablets.
 If desired, when there is much stoppage of the nose. the tablets may be dissolved in warm water and used as a douche in addition to internal use, but douche IS not at all necessary. A few dissolved III the mouth daily will be sufficient pr. Ainslee says: "The regular daily use or Stuarts Catarrh Tablets taken internally will cure the whole catarrhal trouble without resorting to the inconvenience of a douche or an inhaler"
 They seem to give healthy tone to the whole mucous membrane, and 1t IS really remarkable how soon they will clear the head and throat of the unnatural and poisonous catarrhal secretion.
 Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is undoubtedly the safest. most palatable and certainly Ire most efficient and convenient remedy for any form of catarrh. thu-ea-su.

COFFEE WISE.
Holds Fast Until You Get Knock
 Down.

T had used coffee moderately up to six years ago." writes a lady from Piney Greek, Md, when I was seized with an attack of nervous prostration, and was forbidden coffee by my physician. I was constantly under treatment for nearly three years. After my recovery. I once took a cup of coffee, and it made me so sick did not want any more.
 After the nervous prostration. my stomach was very weak. SO that had to be careful with my appetite. As soon as I would eat certain things. would have an attack of stomach trouble sometimes lasting several weeks. so when I was at- tackled with erysipelas two years ago, my stomach was immediately out of order.
 kept getting worse until nothing would stay on my stomach, not even rice water or milk, and I was so weak I had to be fed with a spoon. I had craving for something like coffee but that was impossible. so Father went to town and got some Postum Food Coffee and when he asked the doctor if I might have 1t, he quickly answered, Yes Mother made 1t exactly as directed, and brought me part of a cup and 1t was delicious, satisfied every craving, and best Of all, stayed on my stomach without distress. giving comfort instead. For several days l lived on POSluIu, BTduhaiiy iiSI Vt's'hS the amount I took until l could drink a cupful. Then I began to take solid food with It. and so got well and strong again. I now use it constantly. and am entirely free from any stomach trouble.
 Father an1 Mother both use it. Coffee made Mamma nervous and disagreed with her stomach so that she would taste 1t for hours after drinking. Father had stomach trouble for five or six years. and used to be deprived of various articles of food on account of it. Now he can eat anything since he quit coffee and uses Postum. Father says that it is better than Mocha or Java. Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich
