What the Baby Needed.

81 suffered from nervousness and
headache until one day about a year
ago it suddenly occurred to me what
a great coffee drinker I was and
thought may be this might have some
thing to do with my trouble, so
shifted to tea for awhile but was not
better, if anything worse.
cat that time I had a baby four
months old that we had to feed on
the bottle, until an old lady friend told
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago I commenced using Pos
tum, leaving off the tea and coffee,
and not only have my headaches and
nervous troubles entirely disappeared
but since then I have been giving
plenty of nurse for my baby and have
a large, healthy child now.
81 have no desire to drink anything
but Postum and know it has benefited
my children, and hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
for themselves what really wonder
full food drink it is" Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.
Both tea and coffee contain quanti-
ties of poisonous drug called Caffeine
that directly affects the heart, kidneys,
stomach and nerves. Postum is made
from cereals only, scientifically blend
ed to get the coffee flavor. Ten days
trial of Postum in place of tea or coffee
will show health secret worth more
than a gold mine. There's q reason.

Cured Her Rheumatism.

Deep Valley, Pa, Oct. 81 (SpeciaD.-
over the cure of the little daughter Of |. N.
Whipkey of Rheumatism. She was great
sufferer for five or six years and moth
ing seemed to do her any good till she tried
Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to i'm
prove almost at once and now she is cured
and can run and play as other children do.
Mr.. Whipkey says:
II am indeed thankful for what Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done for my daughter;
they saved her from being cripple per-
haps for life"
Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that
Rheumatism is one of the results of dis
eased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by
Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are
right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood,
and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's
Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right.

THE CONVENTION HABIT.
Whenever a Few Of Our People Get
Together They Organize for
Business.

It is said to be trait of the Anglo
Saxons that whenever a few of them
come together they elect chairman and
proceed to business. A modern humor-
list had this tendency in mind, says
Youths Companion, when he proposed
the organization of League for Letting
Things Alone.
During the vacation season just closed,
when men and women have had time to
crafty their taste for talk, the papers
have been full of the reports of the meet
ings of congresses of all sorts. The
delegates have gathered from various
parts of the land, have snapped" ex-
periences, have elected officers for the
ensuing year, and then have gone home.
Their pleasure in attending the con-
ventions has been mingled with modi
cum of profit. Pleasure and profit, ad-
vantageously blended, are none too
common in this scrambling world; and
he would be mean-spirited philosopher
who would grudge them to the purchas-
ers of special convention tickets on
the railroads, or to the patient audiences
satisfactions of public discourse.
The convention-goers, in the heat of
debate, are still aware that many things
are likely to occur, even in their own
field of effort, without their constant aid.
They know that the forces of nature will
continue to join with the energies of
man, in agriculture, commerce and men
tai endeavor, to bring to fruition the
seed which has been planted
Although the Anglo-Saxon knows
this, he will continue to organize, to talk
and to listen-to the good of his soul and
of his body. But it is well for him to re-
member that Emerson once reported ma
ture as looking upon the man who has
just rushed from place of discussion
into the fields and woods, and asking
him: so hot, my little sir?'

RAISING ASTREET BLOCKADE
One Stubborn Horse Was No Match
for a 1900 HORSEPOWER
Trolley Car.

It is a familiar sight now, the start
ing up of stalled truck by trolley car
pushing it; but it seems to interest
people just as much as it did when it
was new, says the New York Sun.
Here, for instance, was two-horse
truck with a heavy load halted on the
slope in Fulton street, between Church
street and West Broadway. Good team,
and able to haul the load, but the nigh
horse had got tired half way up the
slope and decided to take rest; and, of
course, that tied up the whole business
In bad place, too, on that hill.
The man with the driver got down
and touched up the stubborn nigh horse
with the whip, but that only made him
more stubborn, and incidentally made
him kick out sideways in an obviously
the whip.
Outfit still stalled; and driver with
big two-horse express wagon comes
up behind and sets his pole against the
load on the truck and starts his horses
and tries to help in that way, but now
neither horse of the stalled team will
pull The off horse is not hanging back
stubbornly like the nigh horse, but is
standing still and resting, taking adj
vantage of the situation created by his
more pugnacious team mate.
So there's nothing doing with the
help of the express team, and pretty
soon the express driver sheers off and
drives around the stalled truck ard
passes on. But then something hap
pens.
Just as the big express wagon sheered
off, big Eighth avenue car swung
around the corner from West Broadway
into Fulton street, on its way to South
Ferry and quickly closed up on the
stalled truck, which was halted square
on the track. The motorman didn't
waste any time, nor did he make any
fuss over it; he just set his brake when
he was about six feet away and then
strapped up his fender against the
dashboard of his car and mounted the
platform again and nursed the car up
to the tail of the truck.
1t was nicely done. You couldn't
hear it when they came together, with
the iron-bound end of the truck resting
against the heavy end guard of the car,
with the turned-up fender between.
And then the motorman turned on
the power, gently, very gently, but ir-
resistibly. 1t was $1,000 horse power,
more or less, against one stubborn
horse; and before the truck had been
pushed foot that stubborn nigh horse
settled into his traces and began to pull.
Apparently he had had similar expe-
riences before and knew there was
nothing to do but pull, or have the truck
pushed all over him; and the off horse,
who had been enjoying rest without
any effort on his part, settled down, too,
and the team walked away with the load
| without trouble.
And with the team walked on bunch
of sidewalk spectators who, apparent
| ly had found in this illustration of the
effectiveness of the trolley car as a
| street blockade raiser as much enjoy
ment as they did in the first one they
ever saw.

The LoW-Wheeled Wagon.

Farmers seldom stop to think what
an immense lot of useless labor they
perform during the season by the use
of the regulation high-wheeled wagon
Very many farm products of great
weight are lifted, shoveled or pitch
forked to wagon box or rack, from
four 10 five feet from the ground, only
to be again lifted to the surface at the
end of the houl Add to this the labor
of putting hay, grain or fodder to the
very top of load eight or nine feet
from the ground, and we feel inclined to
ask the question: Can we lessen the
labor?"
Careful experiments have shown that
the draught on very low wheels is but
little if any greater than on those of
average height. And as these low
wheels can be had to fit any size skein
on any wagon the farmer may own, the
cost is small when compared with the
benefit derived,-Farmers' Voice.

Tenth Season Of the California Linz
tied.

Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe
started it's California Limited train on
the initial run across the continent.
Many improvements have been made in
that busy decade. To-day's engines and
coaches are much heavier than those of
1894. Millions of dollars have been spent
on the track alone-some of it for oil
sprinkled (dustless) roadbed and oil-burn-
ing (smokeless) engines. The time is
tester, too.
Daily service of the California Limited
will be resumed Sunday, November Is,
fer the tenth season, superseding the
present semi-weekly schedule. This is
now an all-the-year'roun train, between
Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco,
running through Southwest land of en-
chantment. The time, Chicago to Los
Angeles, is about 6S hours, which is fast
speed for the 1926 miles traversed, con-
sidering that several mountain ranges are
crossed.

Saving Poultry Manure.

Poultry manure is very rich in all the
fertilizing elements, but especially so in
nitrogen, owing to the fact that the uri-
nary secretions, which contain large
amounts of nitrogen as well as potash in
readily available form, are voided with
the solid excrement. 1t quickly loses
nitrogen, however, by fermentation, if
not properly mixed with absorbents or
preservatives. In no case should aka
line substances like lime, wood ashes,
ETC.. be mixed with poultry manure
