A BACK LICK
Settled the Case with Her.

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause OF
ones sickness proves of most tremen-
dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then chance to get
well. = #s
"For over Is years." says Missouri
woman, "I suffered untold agonies inmy
stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying it was gastritis, indigestion, neu-
ralgia, ETC., so / dragged along from
year to year, always half sick. until
finally gave up all hopes Of ever being
well again.
"When taking dinner with friend
one day she said she had a new drink
which turned out to be Postum and
liked It so well I told her thought l
would stop coffee for awhile and use it,
which 1 did.
$50 for three months we had Postum
in place OF coffee without ever having
one Of my old spells but was always
healthy and vigorous instead.
Husband kept saying he was con-
/ vinced it was coffee that caused those
spells, but even then I wouldn't believe
it until one day we got out of Postum
and as we lived two miles from town
/ thought to use the coffee we had in the
house.
'The result of weeks use of coffee
again was that I had another terrible
spell Of agony and distress proving that
it was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled it and I said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum alone has
been our hot mealtime drink.
':My friends all say am looking
worlds better and my complexion is
much improved. All the other members
of our family have been benefited, too,
by Postum in place of the old drink, cof-
fee" Name given by Postum Co., Bat
tie Creek, Mich.
Ten days trial Of Postum in place OF
coffee or tea is the wise thing for every
coffee drinker. Such trial tells the ex-
act truth often where coffee Is not sus-
pected.

The corn crop, which is so import
ant a matter to the Southern farmer,
although not usually considered a
cash crop, is making as good progress
as cotton, and a large yield is indi-
Gated. A good corn crop has a most
important bearing upon the sale Of
the cotton crop. If corn is abundant
farmers have to buy much less feed
for their stock and food for their
hands, hence cotton has to bear a
smaller per cent. of the cost of main
tanning the farm. ~

The entomologists of the agricul-

disposed to think that there is a gen.

Inmates o. the amount of damage done
to the cotton crop by the cotton boil
weevil Some of these estimates have
been as high as s55 100000. The CEN
sus Office, in its final bulletin on the
quantity of cotton ginned in the Unit
ed States of the crop of 1908, estimates
the total loss due to the boil weevil at
s49,2729S9. The estimate of the bu-
reau of entomology is not over

car the hundred or more occupants of
both coaches were caught in the mighty
crush.
Witness Tells Of Crash.
A. H. Bakemore, who lives few rods
from the scene of the collision, was an
eyewitness.
Z 81 saw the trains come together and
with George Gerron and George Stanford
rushed to them," he said. '"The passen-
ger train came down the grade at a fast
clip, probably 40 miles an hour, and
struck the coal train just at our house.
l was eating supper at the time and
jumped up and ran over. We climbed to
the baggage cars and took out two chill
dren alive. One was boy Of eight with
both legs severed and another.a girl with
both arms and legs broken. Others be-
gan to arrive at that time and we al!
turned in and started pulling out the
bodies We had row of 80 dead and
wounded on the grass before the physi-
clans came Several died after we had
removed them.
1T was the most trying ordeal ever
went through. The little things did not
cry, even those conscious. They were so
stunned by the shock that pain was not
appreciated or felt. Two dead bodies we
took out were those of a bride and groom,
who were taking this trip as their honey
moon There were two little girls among
the dead whose mother is i'll in Chicago
hospital and who were with another
woman. The woman was killed too. One
mother, with four children on board, lost
her brood, but was unhurt herself. She
stood at the car entrance and watched
the bodies taken out, but never recog-
nized them Few were identified here
All were taken to the city,"
Cause of Disaster.
In explanation of the accident the
trainmen say that the freight train
parted at Chicago Heights and the break
ing of the coupling between the second
car from the way car and the car In front
of it was unnoticed by Engineer Hoxie
until he had reached Glenwood. Then
they declare the engineer switched his
train to the south-bound track in the be-
lief that he would escape possible COL
lision with the excursion train, which
he believed was on the north-bound
track, and started back to Chicago
Heights to pick up the freight and the
way car. The engineer of the freight
train said he had been given orders to
switch to the south-bound track, and
was delayed by the breaking of the train
near Thornton. The passenger train
had likewise been given instructions to
go on this track, and was approaching
the coal train at speed of about 80 miles
an hour when the collision occurred.

Career of COON Paul.
Paul Kruger, or sOom Paul." for
merly president of the Transvaal re-
public in South Africa, was born in
Cape Colony in 1925. When he was
ten years old he fully shared the en-
nifty of his people against Great Brit
ain. Cape Colony, having fallen into
the hands of the British, was over
run, and owing to the prosecutions Of
the conquerors, 5000 Dutch and HUI
guenot farmers fled from their
homes into the wilderness. YOunS
Kruger and his parents took part in
the exodus. They found temporary
abiding place in the Orange Free
State and in Natal, but were driven
hence into the far country of the
Transvaal. where, after long struggle
with the savage Zulus, they erected
their permanent home. Paul Kruger
educated himself He worked in the
vious to the war for independence.
Later, taking an active part In the
campaign, he led his countrymen to
victory in the battle of Majuba hill. in
1881. In recognition of his bravery
and devotion he was made president
of the restored republic. Through ali
the reverses of the Boer war he was
courageously defiant, but his health
and the strength of his resistance were
broken after the signing of peace
terms at Pretoria. Subsequently, the
ex-president has been a wanderer,
verging on that last stage in mans
eventful history, which is second
childishness and mere oblivion His
hatred of Britain has been vented in
vituperation directed especially at the
late Queen Victoria. Kruger's grand
son, for a similar offense, has been
court-martialed and threatened with
death on the gallows.
