1t was announced at Benning this morn
ing that the last of the available stalls had
been assigned to the owners of thorough
bredS who are to race here during the fall
meeting which will be inaugurated three
weeks from Monday next November &c.
The new stables built during the past sum-
mer have not amplified the facilities at the
track sufficiently to meet the demands Of
the owners and trainers. for the applica-
tons are still coming in with every mall
and the indications are that all the barns
on the neighboring farms will be brought
into use to accommodate the fleet-footed
colts and FLIES that will make up the fall
racing colony In the national capital.
The list of owners and the horses they
have named to wear their colors at Ben
ming during the three weeks of the autumn
meeting surpass anything of the kind here
tofore offered to local race patrons. Most
of the prominent stables of the east will
have strings here, while the west Will send

spring and fall meetings always bring to-
gether an interesting lot of horses, repre-
senting the two sections of the country.
The races are thus given an exciting de-
gree of uncertainty that Is not always abso-
lutely assured when a certain class of
horses have been racing with one another
and under much the same conditions

New York Sun Special Service.
New oYrk, Aug. 10.-An escaped pet
mouse, which hid under the seat of an
automobile, caused the wreck Of the ma
chine, besides frightening one of the
women in the car into Mysteries. The
automobile was occupied by Miss Helen
F. Finerty, daughter Of Joseph Finerty,
q contractor, who started with several
friends, on an outing to Hastings and
Ardsley. AS the machine was running
along the boulevard at a rapid rate the
mouse emerged from it's hiding place and
began to ascend Miss Finerty's ankle.
Miss Finerty at once began screaming
loudly, at the same time clutching at her
skirts. The chauffeur, alarmed at her
actions, for an instant neglected the
steering WHEEL The machine swerved
from the road, ran over the curb and side
walk, and stopped after it had broken
thru the fence that keeps pedestrians
away fro mthe edges of the cliff. 1t es-
capped going over the brink by a slight
margin. The machine was smashed and
Miss iFnerty tainted. j. She was taken
home and the plains for the days excur-
sion were abandoned ss.... .-..h.s.
Miss Finerty, however, may be $10(
richer for the accident. for it was
learned later in the day that the mouse
belonged to John J.. Dooley, a. contractor
who had offered that sum as a reward
for his lost pet. While Miss Finerty was
being revived Mamie Doolie,'' as the
mouse is named. sprang out Of the auto
road. "A big Dane dog belonging te

CAN'T HELP 1T.
Coffee Nerves Always on Edge.

The easy way to get rid of coffee nerves
on edge is to quit the coffee and drink
well made Postum Food Coffee in it's
place.
When the Postum is thoroughly boiled
it furnishes a rich tasting food drink and
it Is then easy and pleasant to shift from
the drug to the food coffee.
A Washington lady says: For a. long
time suffered so from nervous headache
and was so weak and worn out all the
time that T was hardly able to do my
housework. Every little thing worried me
so, and the noise Of my two little children
almost drove me wild. I tried my best
to be kind and patient with them but it
seemed the harder I tried the crosser I
grew until I was discouraged almost to
despair. I had been using coffee three
times a day for about II years. Several
months ago read an article in a religious
paper telling about Postum food Conee
and 1 made up my mind coffee was caus-
ing my trouble.
so I shut down on the coffee, which
was easy when used Postum. My head
aches grew more painful at first but was
not surprised at this and was determined
to let coffee alone and give Postum a fair
trial In a few days Postum had driven
most of the drug effects OF coffee out OF
my system. The headaches grew less and
finally stopped altogether and for the
person. The headaches are all gone, my
strength is coming back, nerves are steady
and I feel rested in place of tired all the
time.
IL know it was coffee that caused all
the trouble and I am certain that Postum
is rapidly repairing all the wrongs that
coffee caused I always tell people when
recommending Postum to be sure to make
it according to directions; don't forget to
boil 1t Is minutes Name given by Pos
