BABY COFFEE ToPERs.
Were Given Coffee at ? Years Of Age


MY mother always gave her children
coffee to drink from the time they were
old enough to hold a cup. consequently
used it from the time I was 2 years
old to my 18th year." says a young lady
Of Potomac, III.
Although I never suspected II, cof-
fee was all this time undermining my
health. and suddenly without any
warning l was taken with nervous
prostration. At times I could scarce
ly breathe and my face twitched con-
tinually
Il was almost helpless and my stom-
ach was out Of order all the time. For
three years I was treated. with only
temporary relief, having to stay in bed
nearly all the time. Then my uncle. an
old physician, came to visit us. and as
soon as he had studied my case a lit
tie bit he said:
Let me get you Z square meal. 1
think / can make better coffee than
any one in this house.
so I waited patiently. for did love
good coffee. and I thought had never
tasted such delicious coffee as that
was, and ] wondered why others could
not make IT just the same. So uncle
told me he would teach them just how
it was made.
In this way I drank Postum Coffee
for nearly a month before l knew it,
] found my stomach getting so much
better and all my troubles disappear
ing, and in n few weeks I was up and
around the house again and stronger
and better than had been for a long
time. l am still growing stronger ev-
cry day, and I am doing my best 10
get my friends to do away with coffee
and use Postum In its place.
Coffee almost ruined me and know
IT, and 1 know the only way that I got
rid OF it and got well was by drinking
Postum in its place. have found out
that you must be careful to follow di-
rections on the Postum package C

Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.

What possible pretence of justidca-

THE SHIP CANAL.

The profound interest which the
Board Of Trade is taking In the project
for a ship canal to link the Delaware
Bay with the Chesapeake Is commend
able and we are inclined to think that
the scheme must be regarded with Ia
yor by Congress. In the matter Of
defense In time Of war such a water
way connecting the two great bodies
OF water, and allowing us to adequate
ly protect two of our greatest cities
by one fleet, is wortp several battle
ships
As an aid TO commerce ties import
fnnce Is -oBvIous, Il would bring Phila-
delphia and Baltimore close together
and Wilmington would profit by much
Of this trade. Philadelphia is alb
sorbed In the deep channel project. but
her interests demand that the canal
idea should be carried into effect. BY
enabling ships to pass through this
inland waterway from Baltimore to
Philadelphia the distance would be
greatly lessened, and the dangers OF
rough weather outside would be OBJ
Waited. The ship canal is bound to
come, and agitation will hasten Il.

Panama AFFAIR as follows: "The docu-

opinion (that Of the masses) because
they merely showed that we had taken

government had reason TO anticipate
not that we had deliberately brought

might profit by It."
That Is the situation in a nutshell.

tract ever entered into by any depart

Very cad. isn't It? The Mayor must

whether anybody proposes to contest
his act IN the courts, and II they do,
he must abandon his purpose. We
would Suppose that an organ with the

EIJKs' "TRIP TO BALTIMORE.
Manchester Lodge OF Elks will enter
the parade at the Grand Lodge meeting
In Baltimore In July, and expect TO prlns

There Is the greatest enthusiasm
among the Elks of Manchester, and it
ia their hone to carry on the Baltimore
trip at least ninety-five per cent. OF the
membership, which would mean one
prize almost to certainty
Another attractive feature Is the
undue uniform proposition. The lodge
Is the 'baby lodge" of the organization,
and Exalted Ruler I.ipscomb Is the
youngest man in the order holding that
position, 1t Is proposed that the lodge
wear Kate Greenway costumes In the
parade, thus almost insuring another
prize,
Both of these matters are being worked
up by the Elks.
In addition to members of the order a
number of outside citizens have slgnitied
their intention of going on the trip.
Among those who were Initiated In the
