Wood is TO be the newest food, says
Heinrich Ren, a professor Of chemis-
try IN Berlin. He has secured a pat
cut upon form of animal fodder
which has sawdust as its chief ingre-
dent. He argues that animals have
decided liking for young shoots, roots
of shrubs, tree bark and other heavy
food of the same nature. and. since
experiments have proved that the nu-
trimcnt contained in such growth re-
mains in i, even after it has become
wood, he observes that. with q little
salt and water added to it, the saw
dust will prove to be highly nour-
ishing diet.

STICK TO IT Until Coffee Hits You Hard.

It is about as well to advise people to stick to coffee until they get hit hard enough, so that they will never forget their experience, although it is rather unpleasant to have to look back to d half dozen years of invalidism, money and opportunity thrown away, which is really the terrible price paid for the weakest kind of a mess of pottage."

 to it like q topcr to his cups notwith- standing I had headaches, every day, and frequently severe attacks of sick headaches, then 1 used more coffee to relieve the headaches. and this was
 wore off, then I would have sick spells Finally my digestion was ruined, severe attacks of rheumatism began to ap- pear. and ultimately the whole nervous system began to break down and I was fast becoming wreck
 At this time I was induced to quit coffee and take up Postum Food Cof- fee. This was half q year ago. The result has been most satisfactory. The rheumatism is gone entirely, blood is pure. nerves practically well and steady. digestion almost perfect, never have any more sick headaches and am gaining steadily in weight and strength Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

 The train consisted of one Pullman, two coaches, three tourist cars. one mail and one express car and one pri- vate car containing Mr. Ryan and other capitalists from New York All the cars but the private car were complete ly destroyed and obliterated by fire
 The i'll fated train left San Antonio at noon Thursday. two and half hours late. and at the time of the accident occurred it was running at a high rate Of speed to make up time. The road at the point where the wreck occurred is in q rough country. the curves being sharp and the grades heavy. It was when rounding the curve that the train 1 left the track. it is said. OF account of q broken rail. All the passengers were asleep and the shock that fol- i lowed was the first intimation they had of danger. The engine and tender ! landed seVenty-ffve feet from where they left the rails. The cars behind were pied up against tn engine, caught
 fire and all were consumed except the sleepers.
 A private car, owned by Thomas ! Ryan of New York City, with his fam ] fly aboard. was attached to the rear of the arain, but it was pulled away before the fire reached it and no one in it was injured.
 All the killed in the coaches just be- hind the express and baggage cars were cremated. People in the sleepcrs

 Conductor Stockwell. who was only slightly inured. upon finding his crew killed and disabled, started out for Tabor to warn the eastbound train For two hours he dragged himself through the darkness. arriving in time to step the approach ching train. 1 The cause of the wreck is not known. and in all probability will remain q
 mystery. Railroad men in this city
 have many suggestions as to how it
 could have occurred, and they assert
 il may have been the work of wreckers. i Reckless running is what the pas
