been called upon by registers and re-

of absence for them. It Is almost USE

influence in a matter of this kind.
The secretary Of the interior has de.
termined that no more than thirty
days leave shall be granted in any
one year and he has instructed the
commissioner Of the general land Of.

sends us word from Washington that

It appears that Andy, in his capacity

meeting the famous Carry Nation,
when she recently paid her visit to
the senate chamber, that necessitated
a visit to the police court, also, and
the payment by her of a $25 fine for

The Engineer Commissioner OF the
District has drafted a bill which viii be
presented to Congress, which provides
that the Commissioners have authority
granted them to rename streets. ave
nues, alleys, highways. and reservations

tative Bahcock, with the recommends.
ton that it be enacted into a law
The Commissioners consider that some
system Of names for streets in the coun-
~ is imperative. At present, it is stated,
much confusion exists because Of the
lack Of system in naming the streets in
the outlying districts. For instance, one
direct and continuous street passing
through Brookland seven blocks IN
length. has four different names-Hart'
ford. Austin, Galveston. and Fulton
Such instances, it is said, are quite
&C mmon. The proposed bill provides
that the Commissioners shall select &

the county. They have already pro-
visional system. but intend to give the
matter further consideration before act
ing finally in the matter and adopune

4 number Of other notifications OF eX-
listing laws were favored in the resolu-
tons adopted by the American Forestry
Association at its annual meeting in the

prevent mineral entries for other pur-
poses than the development Of mineral
resources.
Omcers Of the association are directed

defect is, he declines to say He has

Wife Fell in Love With Husband CAN
Over Again"

The wife OF q weIl-known attorney at
law OF Seward Neb.. tells the tale worth
reading: My husband was a soldier IN
the civil war and was. as he called him
self, an old coffee cooler and had al
ways drank very strong coffee.
About a year ago he complained OF a
feeling of faintness every time after
climbing his Office stairs. and was also
troubled BY terrible headaches that al
most drove him Wild.
''He gradually grew weaker and
weaker until his afiiction eliminated IN
nervouS collapse. and FOR weeks he
seemed 20 De fading away from Us in
spite Of all our efforts.
THE physicians pronounced him strong
and wei, with no organic trouble what
ever. and there seemed 70 be nothing
the matter except the complete giving
out or his nervous system.
The doctors decided that coffee was
at the bottom of all his trouble and
ordered Postum Cereal IN its place. He
improved daily since he quit coffee, and
began drinking Postum, and now says
he feels better than ne has felt for
twenty years; headaches are gone, no
more PAINTING spells, and IS gaining IN
flesh every day, and he seems 50 much
younger and heartier and happier than
he has for years that j have fallen 81
love with him over again.
N w for my brothers case. a few
years ago he had a peculiar trouble.
His tongue Was swollen and sore ar the
roots. and covered underneath with fes-
ters.
''He thought his aniiction was Of g
generous nature and his doctor was OF
the same opinion. He could scarcely
eat anything. and became SO poor and
run down he was simply a nervous
wreck. He consulted various physicians
but none was able 20 diagnose his case
or help him 81 the least
AT last a doctor 70 whom he applied
said he believed my brother was coffee
poisoned and advised him 20 Quit coffee
and drink Postum. He gave him nc
medicine but told him 10 give Postum
fair trial ard return 70 him In SIX
weeks. Ny brother had used Postum
only about ten days when the Testers
disappeared from his tongue. and az the
end OF two weeks the soreness and
swelling were gone and he began O.
pick up IN flesh and spirits
He has never touched coffee since
but drinks Postum all the time and
has lever had the slightest return Of III
trouble.
