is A BIG THING.
Iowa Central Land Company to Con-
troll Much Property.

The organization of the Iowa Central
Land Company. in this city, articles of
incorporation for which have recently
been filed, promises to be much big
ger undertaking than is shown from
the papers filed with Recorder Packer.
While not organized for any specific
purpose, or to operate in any particu-
lar locality. the management of the
company will devote it's energies to the
handling of lands along the Northern
Pacific railway, in North Dakota.
where the promoters have secured con-
troll of 200 600 acres, involving a capital
OF about s750,oOO.
Speaking of the general outlook for
the new concern one of the gentlemen
back of the enterprise said: "As is
generally known the movement of bona
fide homeseelers and lana buyers into
the northwestern states for the past
year was very heavy. This year the
outlook for an increased migration
promises something phenomenal. Out
side of the general conditions of pros
rerity thru the country, and especially
among the agricultural classes. the
more potent reason is to be to found in
the fact that the last of the low-priced
lands in the north are now in
the northwest. Landseekers and in
vestors generally realize, therefore,
that as has been the case, tillable and
grazing lands in those sections must
advance and that rapidly for the next
few years, or until prices range pro-
portionately with the agricultural sec
tons south of Minnesota. The rail-
roads running west of the Twin Cities
will hardly be able to accommodate the
crowds this seasol. in my opinion. and
this is the only factor that will in any
way limit the movement"
The details of the places for opera
ton of the Iowa Central Land Com
pany are not yet complete, and it is not
practical so the promoters say, to give
the public further information at pres
ent. Enough is known, however, to as
sure the statement that Marshalltown,
which is the principal place of busi-
ness of the new company. will receive
much favorable advertising by reason
of the formation of the new concern.

AUTHOR AND PHYSICIAN.
Writes Interesting Tale

| Writes Interesting ale.
| The author of Under Palmetto and
Pine" Norma Trist," -Four Years on
Wheels" etc, DR.. j. w. Carhart, of La
Grange. Tex, in addition to his literary
efforts, is hard working physician in
general practice.
He writes interestingly of how his
freedom from heart trouble was gained
by leaving off coffee and using Postum
in it's place. II drank coffee in the or
binary form for many years; nervous
trouble involving disturbance of the
hearts action. resulted.
ION coming to Texas / fell into the
habit of drinking coffee after har!.
cold rides in my practice, or when in
camp or on the trail. My heart trouble
soon became exceedingly aggravating,
resulting in frequent attacks of what
was pronounced angina pectoris, a Sc
we're agonizing pain over the heart eX-
tending to the back and sometimes
down the left arm.
IN some of these attacks but for the
timely administration of morphine in
jected hypodermically l could have
survived but a short time.
AT different times 1 abandoned the
my troubles, and invariably improved.
but as l had nothing satisfactory to
take it's place in the way of a beverage

THE literature of Postum Cereal
Coffee came to my notice and l re-
solved to try it, The directions for
preparation We're strictly followed and
found 1t an agreeable, appetizing. in

it's use in my family for the past year
and a half or two years, during which
time l have never had an attack of my
old heart trouble, am capable now at
the age of 81 years, and do as much

any period of my life. l can endure

but with zest and relish, and have
gained In weight from 1874 pounds to
1875 pounds"
The doctor further refers to the wide
spread prevalence of heart trouble
from the use of coffee and tobacco and
speaks of the advantage gained by pa
tients wren they leave off coffee and
take Postum.
1t must also be added that the poison
of the coffee does not affect the heart
in some patients, but shows it's work
in the stomach and bowels with one.
perhaps in the eyes with another, and
Kidneys with another. and general ner
yous prostration with another.
1t is never possible to tell just where
the result of the poisoned nerve cen
tiers will show forth. There is but one
way to surely cure such cases and that
is by insisting on leaving off coffee and
using Postum in it's place. Postum
contains the elements for rebuilding
the nerve cells and brain. Albumen
is furnished in a variety of foods. but
albumen can not be made into the soft
gray matter of the brain and nerve
cells except by the action of phosphate
of potash upon 1t and the system will
not always take UP the crude phos-
phate Of potash, whereas, it can be de-
pended upon to take up the delicate
particles Of that element when pre-
scented as nature presents it in food. 1t
is in both Postum and Grape Nuts.

altho severe storms are prevailing In
the south. With a pressure so low as
this in May. June or July, it would be
wise to have cellar doors open as a
matter of convenience in case of an
emergency. The weather bureau is
evidently not disturbed by the condi-
tons, as it has issued no warning for
this vicinity and predicts only high
northwest winds and colder.
The condition of the atmosphere has
affected the telegraph and telephone
wires. and communication with the out
side world has been slow.
