70 RELIEVE St. LOUIS BANKS
Which Have Advanced Millions For
Work On Exposition Grounds.
ACTION TAKEN BY SEC. SHAW.

Chicago, Sept. 1s.---Sccrctary Shaw
was in Chicago on his way to Dead
wood, S. D., to attend the meeting OF
the American mining congress. While
here he announced that lie had taken
action to relieve the ST. Louis banks
from the strain incident to eXpendi-
lures on account Of the Louisiana Pur-
chase exposition. Asked as to what
action he had taken, Secretary Shaw
said:
'.The banlts at st. Louis have ad.
vanccd directly probably $4,000, 600 OF
the $1,000, 900 expended upon the
exposition grounds and buildings, and
indirectly, nearly the entire amount
In addition to this they have advanced
two or three millions to concession
aires. They are now facing the an
nual demand for money TO move crops
and are shipping out from $500, 900 to
$500, 900 per day. The government, in
n certain sense, has accepted co-part-
HeTSlllD illcTSSU III VIC On l)OSlblOu. IA
least, it has appropriated $1,000, 900 to
aid the exposition. This is available
only to meet the current expenditures.
To relieve The present situation, I have
arranged TO deposit S9,5oo,Ooo in the
banks ut st. Louis. This would be to
no advantage to the banks if they were
compelled to purchase government
bonds as security therefor They have
tried to borrow the bonds but they
are not available.
SIN order 10 assist the bonlss, such
securities as the banks can furnish
must be accepted. The banks can
furnish such securities rs the legisla-
turc of New York has approved for
savings banks; and have agreed to
accept the same as security for the
$4,000 at 80 per cent of their par
value"

Trump Card On Panama Canal.

Washington, Sept 14.-If last re-
sort is necessary the administration
will not hesitate TO make it clear that
Colombia cannot open negotiations
with any other power for the building
of canal. The United States is now
in humor to insist that under her
treaties with Great Britain she Is in q
position to resist the efforts of any
other nation to build the canal. The
ground taken will be that another
country would necessarily have to ac.
quire sovereignty over the canal strip,
and that this is in direct violation OF
the Monroe doctrine principle. The
administration would not accept the
evasion of Il lease for any period long
or short to another nation. Full reali-
cation of this is expected 10 have its
effect upon the Colombians

ART OF REST.
May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.

May Be Acquired and Used With
Great Benefit.
Complete and restful poise Of the
body and mind is an art not easily
gained.
Perhaps nothing brings one as
much content, comfort, happiness
and pleasure as those conditions of
easy, restful, resourceful and well
balanced mind and body, that make of
work a pleasure and the daily life
happy and peaceful.
The nervous housewife busy with
hundred duties and harrassed by child
rem; the business man, worried with
the press of daily affairs, debts, ETC.,
cannot enjoy the peace and restful
repose and healthful nervous balance
unless they know how
There is way. First and foremost
the stomach must be consulted. That
means leaving off coffee absolutely,
for the temporary stimulant and the
resulting depression is sure ruin to
the nervous system, and the whole
COuultlOu VI uCdlIH anu udPPlnSoO
rests upon stomach, nerves and mind.
Start with the stomach, that Is the
keystone to the whole arch. Stop
using things that break down its
power, upset its nervous energy and
prevent the proper digestion of the
food and the consequent manufacture
of healthful blood and nerves, brain
and tissues.
When you quit coffee take on Pos
tum Food Coffee That is like stop
ping the payment of interest and
starting on a career where you are
loaning money and receiving interest.
The good results are double. You
stop poisoning the system with coffee
and start building up the broken down
nerve cells by powerful elements con-
tanned in Postum. These are pure
food elements ably selected by ex-
perts for the purpose Of supplying
just the thing required by Nature to
perform this rebuilding.
These are solid substantial facts
and can be proven clearly to the sat
isfaction of anyone, by personal ex-
perience. Try the change yourself
and note how the old condition of
shattered nerves and worried mind
changes to that feeling Of restful poise
of well balanced nervous system.
The managing physician of hygi-
enic sanitarium in Indiana says that
for FIVE years In his practice he has
always insisted upon the patients
