During the time I was a coffee

trouble, liver and kidney trouble.
did not know for years what made me
have those spells. l would frequently
sink away as though my last hour had
come.
For 81 years I suffered thus and
used bottles of medicines enough to
set up drug store-capsules and pills
and everything l heard of. Spent lots
of money but l was sick nearly all
the time. Sometimes / was so nervous
could not hold plate in my hands;
and other times l thought | would
surely die sitting at the table.
This went on until about two years
ago when one day l did not use any
coffee and l noticed l was not so nerv-
GUS and told my husband about it. He
had been telling me that it might be
the coffee but l said: mo, have been
drinking coffee all my life and it can-
not be-. But after this l thought |
would try and do without it and drink
hot water. / did this for several days
but got tired of the hot water and
went to drinking coffee and as soon
as began coffee again l was nervous
again. This proved that it was the
/. coffee that caused my troubles.

made 1t right and did not like it, but
now l decided to give it another trial
so l read the directions on the package
carefully and made it after these di-
rections and it was simply delicious,

suits are wonderful. Before, l could

fruit There are towers and pagodas
and pictures and panoramas in corn
husks, corn-cobs, corn-tassels and corn
kernels, tobacco-leaves and tobacco
grains, wheat-straw and wheat-heads
and wheat-grains; and there are fig
ures in cotton and butter and sugar
and prunes and nuts. There are dec
orations in wavy moss and hemp, in
rice-sheaves and prairie grasses. You
know at last the wealth of each state,
for packed into each of the different
sections is an abundant sample of all
that springs from one states soil
whether it be hill-farm potatoes,
swamp rice, sea-island cotton, bottom
land corn, prairie wheat, desert dates
or irrigated alfalfa. And in the same
way you know the agricultural wealth
Of each of the worlds nations, for they
are spread out before you for your in
spection. Everything grown upon the
earth is here, and displayed and la
beled so that the lesson the exhibit
teaches is never forgotten.
And what does it cost to see this
wonderful exposition, what is the
price 10 be paid for this liberal edu-
cation? 1t may be much or little, just
as sightseeing trip to any city may
be much or little. There are fashion
able, high h-priced hotels in st. Louis,
just as there are In New York, in Chi
cago, in London or any other large
city, but be it said to the credit of
these hotels, they are no higher priced
during the exposition than they were
before it. The masses of the people
are looking, however, for something
less expensive, and it is easily found.
The people of st. Louis are playing the
part of host in a way that will make
friends of the visitors to the fair.
Thousands of homes have been opened
for the accommodation of guests, and
the prices charged for the accommoda-
tions provided are most moderate. In
fact, to judge from what one must pay
for board and room, one would scarce
ly imagine that the greatest exposition
the world has ever known is in prog
ress in the city Boarding house prices
compare favorably with those of other
cities, and 81 per day will secure a
comfortable room and breakfast in
hundreds of these hospitable homes
No one needs deprive himself of the
great education that awaits him al
st. Louis for fear of exorbitant prices
for they are not to be found.

BY the light of a tallow candle, Will
liam Wolf was engaged in unloading
gun shells at his home in Philadel-
phia. Beside him pointer dog lay
watching the operation, occasionally
humping his tail against the chair
on which rested the candle. Finally
the dogs tail came in contact with the

into the can in which Wolf had placed
Nthe powder. An explosion followed,
and Wolf was probably fatally burned.

countries, and to see all that is shown
here is to see the best from the coun-
tries of all the world.
LAS for our country, what could be
more instructive than the exhibits in
our government building? After seeing
it we understand far better than we
could have before both the system and
uses of government Take the Philip

is more instructive than dozen text

and forget, but when we see we re-

Examples that would bear out the
statements of my college friend might
be enumerated almost without end, and
all would but tend to prove that the
Louisiana Purchase exposition is the
greatest educator of the age. We read
the histories of the years to learn of
the worlds progress. but here we do
not have to read, we see it. In the
Transportation building we see the
primitive locomotives that pulled our
first railroad trains, and standing be-
side them we see the powerful, intri-
cate machines that perform the same
service to-day. That is an education
in the progress of railroading In the
Electrical building we find the first
primitive electrical appliances, and be-
side them the many intricate machines
that are to-day being driven by this

among other things, of the products

what we see we remember. Take, for

the progress of the island empire, we
wonder at her greatness, we read vol

Virginia Man Connects His Bicycle
with Rotary Washing Machine and
Saves Labor.
II. G.. Hitner, a resident of Edinburg,
Va, has been exercising his inventive
genius and the result of his efforts is
that the weekly family wash day, in
stead of being a burden as it is to
most people, is the day he most enjoys
of any of the six whereon man is per-
mitted to labor. He is the owner of
rotary washing machine which he
geared to his bicycle after the latter
had been suspended in a frame. After
the clothing has been placed in the
machine, with the usual supply of
water and soap, Harry lights cigar,
mounts his bicycle and wheels away.
By the time he has pedaled enough
to take him to New Market, if the
wheels were on the ground, the cloth
ing has been washed, he has had an
enjoyable ride, and he and his wife are
correspondingly happy This is only
one of the many new things that have
been inaugurated in Edinburg during
the past few months, and it helps to
prove what everybody says about us,
viz: THE old town is surely on d
boom"
Recently the weather has gotten too
hot for Harry to pedal, so he has at
tached a motorcycle to the machine,
and he now swings in his hammock

POWER FROM NIAGARA FALLS.
Three New Companies on the Cana

lnree NEW companies on tne Sdnd-
dian Side Are Arranging to Gener-
ate Electricity with Turbines.
Three companies are now working
hard on the Canadian side of the Nj
agara to prepare for generating elec-
trical power from the falls. Two OF
these companies are controlled by
American capital, the third exclusive
ly by Canadian and English capital.
All expect to sell their product on the
Canadian side and to distribute pow
er to points as much as 200 miles dis
tant from the falls.
Each company has encountered
some interesting engineering prob
lens in the course of the work. One
company, for example, has had to
plan for roof of unusual strength
over it's power house, because it is
expected that the spray from the falls
in winter will thatch the roof with
five feet of solid ice.
No part of the work is more inter
esting than that undertaken by the
Canadian company. The penstock, or
great trench, of this company, at the
bottom of which will be placed the
turbines that are to generate the
power, is 1900 feet from the center OF
the Horseshoe falls.
This great trench is to be $50 feet
deep by 400 feet long and 80 feet wide.
The problem presented was to dis
charge the water from the bottom OF
this trench after it had passed through
the turbines and done it's work.
The engineers decided that in order
to accomplish this tunnel should be
extended from the bottom Of the pen
stock to the center of the Horseshoe
falls, For this purpose shaft about
ten feet square was sunk on the Cana
dian side little above the falls to a
depth of about $50 feet.

300 cords OF first-class mixed wood al
$3.15 per cord on board the cars al
Kamela. This is Is cents per cord
higher than the quote prices for wood

heated contest that Is now being carried
on in the wood centers of the Inland
Empire
Very little wood has been contracted
by Pendleton wood dealers in the Ka-
mela or Meacham camDs, practically all
the supply being cornered by Walla
Walla buyers, which means that the
price here this winter will be higher
than last, if possible.
There is a brisk demand for wood from
all quarters and the Walla Walla dealers
have been in the timber all season max
ing bargains ahead for the wood output
and contracting all the available supply.
There are now about 5000 cords Of
wood ready for market, tributary to

THE CELEBRATION
TWODAY DOINGs NOT salts
FACTORY IN ATHENA.
Good Attendance on the First Day
Winners of Hose Race and
Foot Race.

Athena tried her hand this year at
two-day celebration. In some respects
it was perhaps satisfactory; in other re-
spects, decidedly, it was not. A pro-
gram of sports, amusements, etc., that
could easily be given in one day stretch
ed into two days cannot be expected to
give universal satisfaction. Pendleton
tried it and failed, and now Athena has
a practical demonstration of like results.
The literary program of both days was
good, and the sports for the amount of
money expended on them were all that
could have been expected. Judge Low
ell, in his usual forceful style, delivered
a splendid grafton, after parade in
which number of floats and the Athena
fire department participated. Many of
the floats were elegantly constructed,
especially that of the Athena Mercan-
tile Co. The liberty car was one Of the
finest ever seen in parade here.
A large number Of people were in at
tendance on the day of the 4th, but the
attendance on the second day was small
until the afternoon and evening when
large numbers of country people came
into town.
The young people took advantage of
the free dancing. The band played in
spring music and in the evening large
crowds witnessed the fireworks display.
The hose race was won by hose team

cellars were flooded The storm struck
