AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market eight years ago knows from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
drst put on the market | was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my physl-
clan had repeatedly told me not to use
tea or coffee. Finally decided to take
his advice and try Postum and got a
sample and had it carefully prepared,
ending ii delicious to the taste. So |
continued its use and very soon its
beneficial effects convinced me OF its
value for l got well of my nervousness
and dyspepsia.
"My husband had been drinking cot
fee all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly. l persuaded him to
shift to Postum and it was easy to get
him to make the change, for the Pos,
tum is so delicious. 1t certainly work.
ed wonders for him.
1--WE soon learned that Postum does
not exhllarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom
ach. To make long story short, our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely salts
flying results as shown in our fine con
dition of health, and we have noticed q
rather unexpected improvement In
brain and nerve power" Name giver
by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use OF Postum ii
place OF coffee, sometimes in very
marked manner.
Look In each package for copy Of
the famous little book, THE Bead T.

NaseIine.

Everybody knows the great value Of
this remedy in the household, but every
body does not know that the limitations
Of it, which some second-class druggists
dishonorably palm off on their custom
ers. have little or no value. What should
be understood by the public is that it is
not a mere question Of comparative value
between "Vaseline" and the limitations,
but that the limitations do not effect the
wonderful healing results OF the world
renowned "Vaseline," and that they are
uot the same thing nor made in the same
way. Besides this. many Of the imita-
tons are harmful, irritant and not safe
to use. while true Vaseline is perfectly
harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying
only original bottles and other packages
put up by the Chesebrough Manufactur-
ing Co. Attention is called to their
CapsiCum Vaseline, advertised in another
column.

PROGRESS IN PORTO RICO.
Oiaintere.ted View Of TN, I-inHd'H
Prosperity Under Our Rule.

The two principal articles OF cxpoT.
tation I'm Porto Rico, sugar and tobac-
co, have increased from 2I5OOUOO
francs and 3.1G1 300 francs in 1901 TO
.B1,OT5,OOO francs and l0,5IO,OOO fr0u.s
the year following. The exports of
cigarettes and Of leaf tobacco have
diminished, but the diminution is OF
little Importance compared to the much
higher value Of cigars.
The sugar cane plantations with the
employment Of modern methods are
increasing, facilitated as they are by
the creation OF central factories, ono
of which has recently been started at
Guanica. Notwithstanding the ad.
vances made, still there remains much
to be done.
Coffee culture is extending rapidly.
The product OF the present year
amounts to $4,000 bags. During the
last ten years $500 acres have been
devoted to orange plantations. They
plant about seventy trees TO the acre,
which yield in five years to about 90
GOO oranges, which are usually sold Mt
the wharfs Mt the rate Of FIVE francs
hundred, and this gives profit OF
], $50 francs TO the acre.
Cotton planting is about to be re-
newcd The expectation Of cotton
reached 1000 bales in 1865. About
100000 acres will soon be set apart
for cotton plantations.
Many mining concessions have been
granted since the annexation OF the
island to the United States, but none
30 far have been worked with energy
Gold. silver, iron. copper and bismuth
exist in the island. and also immense
beds OF tin, mercury, Ignite, yellow
amber and nickel, without speaking of
the Lead mines.
The construction OF railroads is 20
ing on rapidly. The entire system, il
is expected, will be completed in less
than three years. The French line re-.
organized under the name of the
american Railroad Company of Porto
Rico" has obtained a new concession

work OF railroads in the island. An
electric tramway has been started at

ENCOURAGE YOUR WIFE.
A sensible wife is averse to flattery

A sensible wife is averse to fiattery,
but meTited praise delights her.
She likes her husband TO be thought
tul Of her, kind and considerate OF
her we fare. When she is well and
be omingly dressed, a quiet notice of
1t is always appreciated.
A word OF praise for a lice dinner
or supper often more than compen-
safes her for the worry and work OF
preparation.
She wants her husband not only to
he her supporter, but her companion,
remembering that it is the kind
won that often brings her greater
happiness than a new set Of dishes,
though presents like the latter are
always welcome.
She likes to realize that she is
good for something besides a mere
household drudge. She likes to be
petted occasionally, but not in pub
lie.

deer horns he wished 10 sell. Failing
to make sale, he took the horns back

The Flambeau Chippewa has the only

The accident could have happened
only in one way. Two bucks of equal

were still struggling, a third buck ap.
peared and charged them both, prob.
ably repeatedly. until his own horns
became fastened.
The Indian says he found the horns
north of Flambeau Lake, about a mie
from the water. They We're lying or
the side Of a hill, and there were mt
bones near them. The condition of the
horns proved that the fight occurred
not more than two years ago. The
antlers were all Of full-gown bucks
showing eight and ten points each.
The third pair had been driven into

that the witnessing OF such punish
