THICK roc INDEED.
The Major Tells Of One They Had Once In
west Slabbingt0n. ARK.

Speaking Of fog," the Major said. you
have some tol'able thick fogs around here
all right-that fog you had here on Tues
day. for instance, certainly was q snht-
erino, but really that was only hght'
thin haze as compared with some fogs
I've seen.
why. say, when i was living in West
Slabbngton, Ark, we had a fog settle
down on US there once that was 30 thick
you could not cut it with an axe. Oh!
Of course, don't mean that literally. You
could have chopped It with an axe. but not
easily, as one man discovered who had
serious reason for wanting to find out.
This man was just then getting out
building, and 1t occurred to him when that
fog settled down that he might get out
blocks Of fog that would do Just a. well
az stone. and that he could get them IN
any shape he wanted with far less trouble.
Then It was that he tried chopping out
blocks Of the fog with an axe, but found
that was too hard work and 30 went TO
getting 'em out with steel wedges and
sledgehammers. he and his hired man
working n fast as they could, because
they knew very well that that log quarry
They got out fog blocks enough for
the whole cellar. including strips for caps
and sills OF all the cellar windows, and built
the walls Of them. And you can get some
idea Of how dense that fog was when l
tell you that those cellar walls, laid OF
blocks OF II forty-three years ago were
still standing the last time visited West
Slabbington, and the man that built EN-
was still living in the house. hale and
hearty:
And the walls were not only standing;
they were In good condition as overall
but the window oaps. These had finally
bent and sagged a little in the middle.
and the owner told me that he had replaced
them with stone caps; but the fog walls
were all right still. and the owner said
that he believed those caps would have
stood all right. too. II he'd only cut EN-
Just . little thicker.
.Oh, yes; that was a thick fog We had
here last Tuesday all right, but very thin
and watery compared with that one I'm
telling you about that we had in West
Slabbington, Ark.

The writer Of this manuscript was a

father to a young knight OF great estate,
The girls were hidden on certain day TO

without any lining or facing OF fur, though

was that she looked so pale, pinched and
blue that her beauty was all gone.

DISAPPEARING.
An Old Chronic Coffee Symptom Going

1t is a fact that the old time enemy,
sick headache. is disappearing as the
use of Postum Food Coffee in place of
coffee becomes more widespread.
Sick headache is always caused by
improper food or drink, and coffee is
the most prominent cause of sick head
aches.
In those families where Postum has
taken the place of coffee you will sell
dom find a case of sick headache,
nausea or nervousness. Il had sick
headache frequently before beginning
the use of Postum which was a year
ago last June but since I have quit
coffee and use Postum l have had only
one spell.
MY husband suffered so greatly from
stomach trouble for two years. with ex
treme weakness at times and smother
ing so badly that his friends generally
gave him up as a conSumptlve. Two
physicians tried their skill but did not
help him. Yet in less than year since
he quit coffee and began the use of
Postum he is well. The smothering
spells are entirely gone and he is back
again at his usual farm work strong
and happy. We both began to notice
change for the better after we had used
Postum about a month and now we
would neither one of US go without it.
MY husbands mother had stomach
trouble entirely different from my hus-
bands. She had had weak stomach for
30 years without being able to get much
help from medical treatment. After
she saw what Postum had done for my
husband, she was easily persuaded to
give I'D coffee and try Postum and the
old cramps from which she used to
suffer SO much are almost entirely
gone and her stomach is getting strong
and normal. I could tell you of a
number of other cases among my rela-
tives and townspeople but guess you
will understand from this what we
think of Postum in this part of the
country.
You could not persuade any of these
people that I have named to risk even
one Gun of coffee now, since they have
seen what giving up coffee and drink
ing Postum will do toward getting
back health and happiness This was
written by well-known lady of Brick
Church. Tenn. Name given by the
Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich.

Two More Weeks of Idlenes:

Most Extensive Curtai|ment Since the
Cotton Trouble Began.
Over 100000 Loss in Wages Estimat-
ed for Next Week.

week is the most extensive of any here

favorable to mill owners. The yarn
mills are also lessening the output to
some extent.
The extensive stoppage of machinery
next week will take more than 100000

The delay in the arrival Of new cot
ton and the situation in the market,
together with the fact that Monday is
a holiday are responsible for the idle
