THE LANDLADYS SON
Set Right by Z Boarder.

Most people are creatures of habit.
The person who thinks he cannot get
along without his morning drink of cof-
fee is pretty hard to convince unless he
is treated like Mrs. Clara Hoffman of
Portland, Ore, treated her landlady's
son. She says, Having suffered with
stomach trouble for several years I de-
termined to discontinue the use of cof-
fee and try Postum Food Coffee
1 carefully followed directions for
making and the result was a beverage
very pleasing to the taste. 1 induced my
husband to give it a trial and soon
noticed the Improvement
He complained of heart trouble but
as he drank coffee felt sure that this
was the cause. 1t proved to be So for
after having used Postum for a short
st time his heart trouble completely dis
appeared.
Last year we went East and while
there boarded with a private family.
Our landlady complained of sleepless-
ness and her son of obstinate stomach
trouble. 1t was a plain case of coffee
poisoning in both. knowing what Pos

FRUIT CROP SUFFERS.
Colorado Valley of the Arkansas
Is Flooded.

Florence, Colo, Aug. 27.-One of the
heaviest rains that has visited the Ar
kansas valley in the memory of the old
est inhabitants fell here last night, and
considerable damage is reported. The
water fell in sheets and came rushing
down the hillsides and emptied into the
Arkansas, which was soon running
bank full. Every dry creek on the
prairie was overrunning its banks, and
the streets of Florence were like rivers.
Many houses on the lowlands were
flooded.
A cloudburst in the mountains south
of here let down big volumes of water
which flooded everything in the path.
AT Canon City the streets were covered
with several inches of water.
Oak creek, which runs through Rock
vale, overlooked its banks.
The damage to the fruit crop in this
county is very heavy.

DIRECT HAL WINS.
Geers Lands Black Stallion in
Straight Heats.

Providence. r. l., Aug. N.-The climax
OF sensational pacing races was reached
in the Great Park Brew $4,000 stakes at
Narragansett park Tuesday afternoon. Ed
Geers pilOted Direct Hal to victory in
straight heats, but the black stations
record was lowered from 2:06 fiat to 2:O411
That second heat was the pace that killed.
Scott Hudson made rush down the
stretch with Twinkle, and would have
beaten anybody but Geers. 1t was such a
drive home that Twinkle went off her feet
and broke almost under the wire, while
Direct Hal won in POM. The last half
was paced in 1:01 flat, with the last quart
er in % seconds. Twelve thousand peo-
pie saw the race and they went wild with
enthusiasm. There was a slight mixup
in the first heat. Scott Hudson's sullxy
wheel was smashed and he was left out
side the flag He lodged complaint against
Geers, but the judges found the latter to
be some distance away when the accident
happened. They let Twinkle stay in the
race, however. Direct Hal was driven
out and won the first heat in 2:O61a. His
most formidable opponent was his half
brother, Prince Direct. They teamed to
the half but Geers drove in front when he
wanted that place. 1t was Scott Hudson
that tried conclusions with Direct Hal in
the second heat, but Twinkle could not
hold the pace and broke almost at the
wire. Twinkle broke again in the third
heat and Direct Hal won hands down in
2:O5.
Junius lowered his mark from 2:0sA to
2:07A to win the 2:20 pace. Josh won the
first heat and a record of 2:091k Then
Junius took the next three.
The 2:16s trot was four heat race with
three heat winners. Belmont landed the
second and fourth heats and race. The
other heat winners were Silver Glow and
A1vander.
The 2:13 trot was unfinished and when
darkness stopped the racing Aggie Med
Jun and the King each got heat.

A general wage increase Of 10 per
cent. a uniform working day of nine
hours and pay and one-haf for
all work over and above nine hours
are the advantages gained to the un-
skilled workmen employed by the Chi

a. result of arbitration.
Certain classes Of workmen who were
included in the demands for increased
wages did not receive the favor de-

they are affiliated. They may be in

IFS 4 GIANT CRIME
SACRIFICE OF CHILDREN ON THE,
ALTAR OF MAAIMON.
Lady Florence Dixie writing from
London, says That 1t Is Americas
"Giant Crime." Besides the Little
Children Stands an Army of I'm.
employed Adults-Little Children
Who Know of No Childhood.

Every writer and thinker in the up
to-date magazines is opposed to child
labor, and is aiding by voice and pen
to bring about it's abolition.
Even the much abused aristocrarcy
Of England can bring forth one to lead
the work in opposition to child labor.
Lady Florence Dixie from London
writes to the Press on what she calls
1.-The American giant crime of cease
less daily and nightly slavery of little
children"
She says that since writing an open
letter to Roosevelt begging him to use
his Influence for reform, she has re.
ceiVed letters, kilograms, newspaper
cuttings and invitations to go to the
states to denounce the sacrifice of
children on the altar of greed and gold.
It is in Southern states, where $4,000
children, knowing no childhood, are
toiling all their lives to bring the al
mighty dollar into the grasp of north
ern capitalists, but not alone from the
South comes the stifled cry of the
child; North East and West the same
horrible condition prevails.
Everywhere, SIDE by side with this

ployed adults. Children ranging from
five to fourteen toll twelve hours at a
stretch amid cruel and sometimes hor-
rible surroundings, never knowing the
joys of childhood; stunted and tainted,
living in four atmosphere.
She quotes, as evidence, American
papers supporting her statements, and
concludes; Let America awake and do
away with this giant crime. Let the
world awake to stay like cruelties
wherever they are prepetrated."
Ouida, writing Lady Dixie from
Florence, says that the condition Of
labor children in Italy is terrible, both
in the fields and the factories. There
is also sale Of them at eighty francs a
head to agents and no one cares. From
the time they are four years old they
begin to work on Hand, miserably fed,
backs bowed and crippled before they

pie brutes, but it is an unjust term.
Nowhere in brute creation are the
young treaetd so cruelty. Keep up the
agitation. America ought to take the
lead in saving young lives"

Lord Roberts once found himself the
center of circle Of new friends in a
London club. There was a very tall
gentleman present, who, evidently be-
lieving himself to shine as wit, seized
every opportunity to raise laugh at
the other peoples expense. On being
introduced to Lord Roberts, the wit
bent down patronizingly to his lord

heard of you, but-shading his eyes
with one hand as though the famous
general, being so small, could be seen
only with difficulty-"1 have never
seen you.'' To this Lord Roberts
promptly replied: II have often seen
you, sir, but I have never heard of
you" Everyone present was delighted
with Lord Roberts reply, and the
