From childhood up I had been a cof-
zee and tea drinlcer and for the past 20
Years have been trying different physi-
clans but could get only temporary re-
ief. Then I read an article telling how
some one had been cured by leaving off
'offee and drinking Postum and 1t seemed
% pleasant just to read about good health
decided to try Postum in place Of coffees
/ Il made the change from coffee to
Postum and such a change there is in me

better than coffee. My health now Is

AS soon as 1 made the shift from cof-
Zee 10 Postum I got better and now all OF
10y troubles are gone. / am feshy, my
food assimilates, the pressure in the

Opera House Change.

There are being made some changes
at the Park opera house. which will
greatly improved that place of amuse-
ment.
The interior is being painted and it
will probably be re calcimined an |
papered. There has been little in
centive for the owners to do much
improvement upon the house in tho
past several years as it is well known
that the house has not been paying
investment, hardly paying the fixed
charges. 1t would be a great loss to
the community to lose the opera house,
as place of amusement and there
has been no complaint regarding its
appearance. even though it was gen.
orally known that it needed paint and
papering.

Greatest In World.

People are often talking of the
length of the different roads in the
United States. The Rock Island Rail
road company the other day acquired
the seaboard air line, thereby adding
2, 600 miles to its vast system, the most
extensive in America. 1t is by far
the greatest in the world. The new
property, which is capitalized at about
$l25, 600, 900, was acquired without the
expenditure of dollar. mere trans
fer of securities sufficed. Then the
acquisition gives the Rock Island not
only 1900 miles more of rail but n
steamship line from Florida to Cuba
and one for Norfolk to Baltimore. 1t
puts Rock Island trains oveI controlled
roads into Washington, Tampa, Fla;
Norfolk, Atlanta, Ga. Wilmington,
Augusta and Jacksonville. An Allan
tic seaboard junction with the Rock
Island system will be at Birmingham
over the Frisco By traffic agree
ments, Rock Island trains can enter
from Washington. 1t can run solid
trains from Washington to Ell Paso
and Denver practically over it's own
tracks. Its mileage amounts to more
than II. 900 miles. which exceeds by
many hundred miles the great Penn
sylvania and New York Central sys-
TENS. Details of the purchase are
wrapped in mystery. A voting trust
is created. but for what purpose no
information is given.
Announcement is expected that the
Mexican Central has also been taken
by the Rock Island. The Seaboard
deal has been under consideration for
several months, but for disastrous col
lapse of the stock market it would
have been put through Immediately

It was not finished. however. until
