MENDED CHINA.
Don't Do Well With Hot Water.

I'VE housewives know better than to
use hot water on mended china and COM
mon sense tells me that coffee or tea
should never be used by those who have
undergone operations for stomach trouble
or appendicitis, etc. In fact IL 1t were
not for the stomach troubles set up by
coffee l believe these operations would
not be necessary in cases out OF 10,
says a lady of Peoria, Ill. MY husband
has been changed from confirmed cys-
peptic to an average healthy eater by the
use of Postum in place OF coffee l
find it much richer and clearer by max
ing over, always adding little more
fresh Postum and then proceed as II
fresh. My husband never likes 1T 'resh
as we'll as the second or third make over.
Our physician who recommended Postum
to us was a confirmed coffee drinker but
found that one cup of Postum satisfied
him and improved his digestion immedi-
ately Another physician acquaintance
mad similar experience. But | started
to write you about my husbands condi-
ton. He had four operations for stomach
trouble l feel certain that had he used
Postum in place of tea and coffee for
years preceding this the operations would
never have been necessary.
Several weeks ago our Postum ran
out and he used coffee for several days
His old trouble asserted itself at once
ana there was an immediate rush for
POSTUM which drove the trouble away
again" Name furnished by Postum co

mittee to examine into the condition OF
the States Prison building to see if it
could be converted into an asylum or
used for some other purpose closed the
discussions. Senator Travis saw no use
for a committee, as two years ago one
had reported that it was unfit for such
use, because of the size of the cells; the
ventilation and the cost to change. It
would make only an inferior asylum or
an inferior prison with such changes as
could be made
Senator Hicks, of Granville, urged that
the committee be named to investigate
the matter, and see what could be done.
This was agreed TO and later Senator
Hicks was named as the member of the
committee on the part of the Senate.

Among the Railroads.

The Greensboro Record is enthusiastic
over the prospect of obtaining the Raj
eigh and Western Railroad. 1t quotes
Mr. e. B. Respass, engineer, as saying
We shall come into Greensboro, rross-
ing the main line of the Southern just
this side of J. Van Lindley's. We have
found good ridge road by taking this
route and my orders are to get to work
and stake off the line" This means that
grading is to commence very soon,
though Mr.. Respass did not say SO; but
stakes are never put down until this
branch of work is ready 20 be taken up.
Asked about touching High Point he
said the line would diverge after crossing
Deep River, one branch going to High
Point. the other coming to Greensboro
IF my people are not coming to Green's
boro right away they are spending a lot
of money very foolishly, and they are
not that kind" said Mr.. Resra ass.
