HAS TRIED BOTH.
Travel for Health VS.. Dieting.

A man who was sent to Europe for
his health and finally found cure in
little change in his diet says:
Il was troubled with dyspepsia for
five years and two doctors here in ke-
nosha that treated me for over year
both told me there was no help for
me. Then / had an expert from Chi
cago, but still received no relief; then
followed another expert from Chicago
who came to our house two times
month for four months. He gave me
up like all the others and told me 10
take a trip across the ocean, which
did in the year 1899 and came home
about as bad as when l started. The
doctors told me my stomach lining was
full of sores. Then l began to study
nv own case and learned of the diet
recommended by the Postum Cereal
Co. so l gave up cof1ee, pork and all
greasy foods and began using Postum
Food Coffee. Gradually got better and
better until / am well now as / ever
was in my younger days, have no trou-
BILE and eat anything fit to eat.
sometimes away from home am
persuaded to drink coffee, but l only
take a sip of it, for it tastes bitter and
d,sagreeable to me, but the longer use
Postum the better l like it and the
better / feel. l could say great deal
more of my experience with Postum,
but think this will give everyone
good idea of what leaving off coffee
and using Postum can DO" Name

st. Louis.-Early visitors to the Louis
lana Purchase exposition have found
at ST. Louis an exposition so nearly COM
plete that they have in no way missed
the few minor details that were untin-
ished on the opening day, and when
have since been completed. In fact in
an exposition of such proportions as
this it would be impossible to discover
a thousand little details that might lack
completion.
Weather conditions were against the
exposition management for few days
preceding the opening. Now every
thing is favorable, and the great fair
is entirely complete. completeness, we
must repeat, that is so enormous that
it is all but impossible to comprehend
what it has meant to the builders. The
last vestige of scaffolding that for a
few days surrounded some of the less inn
portant buildings has been torn away;
the last wagon load of refuse hauled
from the grounds; every flower and
shrub the landscape gardeners included
| in their scheme OF decoration growing
under the benign influence of spring
sun, and the exposition stands forth a
completed giant, beautiful in concep-
ton, wonderful in execution, stupendous
| in size. by far the masterpiece of the
worlds eXpositions.
Stupendous size does not half express
! it. This worlds fair has many sur
prises for the visitor, but its immense
size is the greatest astonisher of all
Amusement at the extent of the fair is
heard from every visitor.

visitors these first days of the fair. In

One Way to Get Woman to Take

Theater.

She sailed down the aisle just before the

the slightest intimation of removing that
marvellous tower of headgear, relates the
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Pardon me, but would you mind re-
moving your hat!'
This request apparently made not the
slightest impression on the owner of the
handsome plume, and a few minutes
later the second young woman asked, IN
. tone somewhat louder than that of her
companion:
Would you please be SO kind as to take
off your hat!"
The offender moved her head slightly,
but otherwise gave no response.
The victims of fashion were silent for d
few minutes and then one of them was
heard to say very distinctly to her friend:
"Oh, well, perhaps she is little bald
That, of course, explains it. Don't think
Of asking her again.

Thousands Of Testimonials.
Elegant Train Service of the Nickel
Plate Road

The thorough development and main
tenance of the up-to-date passenger serv-
ice of the Nickel Plate Road leaves moth
ing to be desired by people who travel.
Ladies travelling alone or accompanied by
children will appreciate the clean and
well-hghted coaches, made SO by the corps
of colored porters in uniform who attend
the wants of both first and second-class
passengers without extra charge. The din
ing car service of the Nickel Plate Road
has become very popular with the patrons
on the line and one of pride to the man
agement. This service is conducted un-
der the system of individual club meals.
Carefully prepared menus are compiled
into booklets, containing suggestions fol-
breakfast, luncheon or supper that will
not cost you more than thirty-five cents
and on up to one dollar, which is the
limit, hence the disbursement may wait
for the appetite. Meals are also served
"a la Carte" AS no excess fare is charged
on any train, it will be to your advantage
to purchase your tickets via the Nickel
Plate Route, where rates are lower than
| via any other line.

WOMEN "BUCK THE TIGER"
How the Dealers in a Montana GAM
bling Resort Get the Work
ing Girls Wages.

In Butte, Mont, there is a gambling
house where the patronage of ladies
is the special feature of the manage
ment, and where all kinds of women
play the good old game of faro, perfectly
at home and without fear of interrupt
ton. The entrance is from an alley near
Broadway, and the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors, softened lights shine over the
players, courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Buttes elite come in parties or in
pairs with escorts, to quietly venture sill

their husbands, who busy themselves in

Women of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer and
player usually maintain a rigid silence.

FESTIVAL HALL AND THE CASCADES.

plant. Never before at an exposition
has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace OF
Machinery. In a large boiler house
standing west of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
auctions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam is generated to supply 10000
horse power to the various engines in
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tons in the city of ST. Louis. But the
greatest interest is in the engines them
selves rather than in the large capacity
of the exhibit, for among them is a
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others OF
a similar type of smaller capacity. This
is the first display of turbine engines
at a large exposition, as its develop
ment is a very recent achievement OF
mechanical engineering and invention.
At the Chicago Exposition the larg-
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to ST. Louis
may see gas engine with the capacity
of 300 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 5000 horsepower gas en-
CINE is the largest engine of its char
acter ever built. Many other gas en-.
gines of various types developing from
900 to 1850 horsepower complete this
feature of the exhibit, and there are
many of the more familiar reciprocal
| ing engines of the latest pattern anC
highest efficiency.

Big Man and Little Woman.

She was demure little woman with
a baby. AS the car was crowded she
did not put the little one, who was old
enough to sit up, on the seat beside
her. She carried it on her lap, and
made room for a fierce-looking, big
man with a newspaper.
The child kicked it's tiny feet in de-
light at the strange things it saw while
riding along, and its shoes rubbed
against the big mans trousers.
