overalls and went hcme as IL 10 stay. II

told their men there would be no work to-
day. indicating that they would be locked
out. 1t is expected that not more than
half OF the members Of the union Will 20

has been ordered. and IL is likely that
those who do begin work will gradually
drop OF until nearly all will be out before

possibility OF a settlement during the day.

DIAMOND &C" PRIZES.
The Spirited Contest IN the Soap
Wrapner Gang.

The offer of the Cudahy Packing com
pany to give Kinaba1l piano and other
valuable prizes to the Topekans max
ing the largest collections of Diamond
uIaF response. Grocers say the demand
for Diamond CO. soap is unpreceden-
ted. Miss Gertrude Bauer is in charge
of the exhibit of prizes at Swearingen's
jewelry store and gives credit for the
wrappers as they are voted.
When asked to nameN the probable
winner of the piano, Miss Bauer replied:
There is Just as much doubt about it
now as there was at the beginning Of
the contest. It is true q. number of the
contestants have made a splendid show
ing, but there are already half a hun
dred people in the contest and more
commencing every day. Any one of
them may have enough wrappers in re-
serve to bring him to the head of the
list. am told there are many persons
collecting the wrappers, who have not
yet turned in any of them. The winner
of the piano may be among those lust
starting. for all it needs is industry in
gathering the wrappers.
All classes of people are represented
IN the contest. Several young ladies en-
ployed in the Santa F'e Offices and in
the stores are claiming the support of
their friends and fellow workers. The
shopmen have named one Of their fore
men as a candidate. A number of church
and fraternal societies will probably go
l1lO LIE contest III a DoUy. IN hopes OF
winning the piano.
People are surprised and delighted at
the value of the prizes offered. Crowds
OF people come every day to look at
them and nearly all have commenced to
collect the wrappers. One lady said she
had given away 200 wrappers, supposing
the prizes We're not worth trying for
She regretted it at once and now she is
turning in the wrappers to her own
credit as fast as she can collect them.
The other day a young lady came in
saying she had left her pocketbook at
the transfer station. In it We're some
money and a number of Diamond 'C''
wrappers. When she discovered her loss
and returned to look for the pocketbook,
she found it and the money undisturbed,
but the wrappers were gone. The thief
seemed to realize the value of Diamond
C soap wrappers.
'Of course they can not all win the
piano, but there are other prizes on the
list. Ladies are especially pleased with
the handsome dinner set of Haviland
china Besides there is the sewing ma
chine, the Regina music box, the bicycle
and so on You know every one who
has 1000 wrappers gets a prize of some
kind, so no one ought to hesitate to en-
ter the contest on account OF the num-
Der who are trying"

SECRETLY AND QUIETLY.
Coffee Slowly and Steadily POlsons
Some Persons.

There is no doubt that coffee secretly
and quietly causes an immense amount
of misery to the human race, but in the
majority of cases the person does not
suspect the cause Of the trouble
A Virginia lady had an interesting
experiment with coffee poison. She
says, For about five years I was trou-
bled with Indigestion weak stomach and
palpitation of the heart so bad that ar
times I would fall and have to be car
ried into the house. Finally began to
have spasms and suffered untold mis-
cry. I tried all kinds of patent medi-
cines and different doctors, only to get
temporary relief.
Il finally gave up all hope Of get
ting we'll Ny stomach was in such
condition that everything but stale bread
would throw me into spasms. nearly
starved myself, but never suspected that
coffee was the cause of my trouble
nor did have any idea whae the cause
was.
One day father told me he had been
reading how Postum Food Coffee helped
so many people who were sick from
coffee drinking, and he urged me to
leave off coffee and try Postum. I said
OH father. I cannot try it and do not
believe it would do me any good, but
he persuaded me to try a package.
The first making tasted so fiat tina.
it made me half sick, but I determined
to give it a fair trial, so I read the
directions carefully and found that il
must be boiled at least Is minutes Wen
I boiled it % minutes, then added some
good cream, and I tell YOU it was de
ncious [ like it better than the ordi-
nary coffee and, of course, stick to It.
well, I have been using it since the
18th of July now, quite two months
have gained about 25 pounds. I gained
six pounds in Is days, and can eat
anything that I want and all that
want. My stomach never hurts me
have gained strength until now car

People say. You are looking soswelli
