In Stonington it is unusually brisk and
the quarries are in full blast. The NJ
G. Ryan company which few years
ago bought the settlement quarries,
are preparing for big work and have
already expended over s125,000 in the
development and equipment of their
quarries. There is now building "a
stone cutting shed 240 feet long and
sixty feet wide. An electric plant has
been installed to furnish power for the
big cranes, and extensive channel work
has been done around the base of the
mountain of granite. There has been
new quarry opened near the village
by Hagan and Wilcox of Philadelphia
and the Ryan and Parker Construction
company and the John l.. Goss quarries
are running large forces of men.
Rents are scarce in the town and at
night the village presents Il lively ap-
pearance with its several hundred
stone workers resting from the day $
labor. Hurricane Island and Vinal-
haven are extremely busy with large
contracts and w. j. Gray & Co, at
High Island find difficulty in getting
help enough in the stone cutting line.
Help of all sorts are going onto the
islands every day and in a few weeks
the largest force of men seen in the
above places in many years will be en-
plOyed at good wages.-Rockland Star.

COFFEE CATARRH.
An Unsuspected Cause.

1t is curious how many diseases come
from a disordered nervous system
which locates disease in some part Of
the body and the primary cause can
often be traced to coffee which first
breaks down the nervous systciS. A
Georgian says:
There is no doubt coffee gave mo
nasal catarrh. The Ccptim in my nose
was all gone and the catarrh was cat
eating its way. getting hold of the
main bone Of the nose. 1t also affected
my sight very much.
MY nose was constantly dripping
bloody water but in two weeks time
after | quit coffee and used Postum
Food Coffee in its place, could see my
way very well, the dripping from my
nose stopped and my nose finally got
perfectly we'll and healthy as far as is
possible for the ceptim to grow back.
"There is no doubt it was a case of
coffee catarrh and the cure was made
entirely by changing from coffee to
Postum. The rest of my family took
up the new drink and Postum relieved
my wife an little boy of frequent head
aches and what is called coffee head
ache is not known III our family any
more. Our sleep is SO much more re-
freshing.
I'VE have influenced many people to
try Postum and all of them like it bet
ter the longer they use it and most of
them say it is better than coffee"

Creek, Mich.
Ten days trial Postum in place of
coffee often works wonders. There
a reason. 49,
