A LITTLE aTEALTH

Thy Right Hand DOeth,'' Especial
Iy When the Left Is a Bit
Cranky.

Some of the most lOvable and best
people in the world are cranky, and a
'leetle" hard to manage. particularly
when you want to do them good. Then
it is that justifable and righteous
artfulness may be resorted to. As,
for instance, in the following case
given by a devoted wife and mother,
in Iowa:
This Spring my daughter, who is a
teacher, became convinced that coffee
was doing her harm, as it caused dis
tress and belching after eating. She
felt that she needed a warm drink in
the morning b disliked hot water or
milk. Then our daily use of Grape
Nuts suggested Postum.
For some time my husband, who
has been a user of coffee from his
youth, had been more than usually
troubled with sleepleSsnesS and nerV-
BUSINESS and felt that Postum might
be helpful to him. The question was,
how to persuade them to leave off
drinking coffee and try Postum.
against which they had repeatedly
expressed prejudice. i resolved to try
an experiment and make the test
Without acquainting them with the
fact 1 made Postum according to dj-
rections. but added a teaspoonfuI of
good coffee. I poured it out with some
misgivings, but was delighted to see
that no one could tell from its ap-
pearance that it was not rich, strong
coffee. Its use was continued for a
week with the coffee addition, then
that was gradually Withdrawn until
only the pure Postum remained, and
still the change had not been detected.

however, that my daughter had begun
to rapidly improve in health, her
dyspepsia left, and my husband was
enjoying sweet, refreshing sleep.
when ventured to tell them what
I had done, he asked for a return to
the coffee, and I gladly made it for
him; but one day satisfied him, the
old sleeplessness came back and he
told Ene he liked the Postum better
So we have used It ever since to the
benefit of the whole family" Name

HERE'S A ROAD GETTING GOOD.
Chicago & Alton to Reduce Sunday
Trnfic to Minimum

IL
Sunday traffic on the Chicago and Alton
railroad is to be reduced to a minimum.
Time cards are to be revised and only
The passenger schedules will not be af-
fected materially by the new order, but
there will be fewer freight trains and
Sunday excursions are under the ban.
This will be where the innovation will be
felt the most for the Alton has been
noted for its Sunday excursions.
The formal order, which will be issued
next week, will say that the reason for
the change is the desire of the Alton
management to give the employees of the
road, as far as possible, Sunday for a
day of rest. c. A. Goodnow general
manager of the Alton, was for years at the
head of the operating department of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. While
with the st. Paul Mr.. Goodnow dis
cOuraged Sunday traffic as much as pos
sible, and to this day it is the policy of
the st. Paul to operate as few trains as
possible on Sunday. Now Mr.. GOOdnoW is
to put his Sunday policy in effect on the
Alton.
w. NJ Corbett, superintendent of the
western division of the Alton, was in
Springfield, Ill, yesterday in conference
with Mr. GoodnOw.
Mr.. GoodnoW told me yesterday of his
purpose to discourage unnecessary Sunday
traffic. said Mr.. Corbett. 1T is a policy
with which 1 am thoroughly in accord.
The paramount consideration with the
management Of the Alton in connection
with this new order IS to give as many OF
the employees as possible a day of rest on
Sunday. Only necessary traffic viii be
handled
Horace G. Burt, while president of the
Union Pacific, discouraged unnecessary
practically no Sunday passenger excur-

Prescott. Ariz.. oct. 9.-That En-
gineer John Haskins and Fireman
Robinson, of the United Verde rail-
road are now alive is one of the re-
markable features attending the cap
sizing Of their engine Saturday after
noon about 2 o'clock.
The train was heading towards
Jerome. and was at a point known as
Bridge No. It. near Horseshoe Bend,
when the engine left the rails and
tumbled- over on the side of the track
next to the en- bankment. Haskins
was severely bruised. but was not seri-
ously injured, and did not even have
a broken bone to show for his thrill
ing experience.
Robinson was on the side of the cab
that fell toward the upper side. He
was pinned under the engine, but
managed to crawl out of a space bare
~ large enough, it is said, for a jack
rabbit. He emerged from the hole
badly scared man, and was amazed to
find that he had not been injured in
any particular.
Two fiat cars and coke car also
were derailed, but no damage occur
red. Word was wired to Jerome from
signal box, and a special train left
that point for the scene of the acct
dent the expectation being that there
had been a great disaster. The train
men on the special were greatly re-
lieved upon finding that matters had
turned out so fortunately.
After some work, the track was
cleared, and the afternoon train for
the junction pulled out on schedule
time, AMI it returned in the evening
without any delay occurring.
The Haskins' family seems to have
been born under a lucky star, for the
brother of John, who is also an en-
gineer, rolled down the canyon a few
years ago with his engine, and escaped

d very narrow escape. About so head
OF steers had crossed when Frank
rode onto the middle of the bridge to
keep the cattle from crOwding~ on too
fast. Looking ahead he saw that those
that had crossed were starting for a
cane field and hurriedly spurred his
horse across to head them off. Hard

TWO MORE EXTENSIONS.
Great Northern Proposes to Run
This Many to Boundary.

This Many to Boundary.
Chicago, Oct. 9.-Announcemen has
been made by the Great Northern rail-
way management of no fewer than ten
extensions, which are to be made at
once from main and branch lines into
the International boundary. This ac-
ton is taken to mean that James J.
Hill is preparing for an active invasion
of the rich Canadian provinces that lie
north of his lines in North Dakota,
Montana and Washington. A glance at
the map discl0ses the fact that Mr.. Hill
already has at least eight lines of rail-
way pushed close to the border line be-
sides those which have invaded Cana
dian soil. Up till recently, however, it
has been understood that there was an
agreement between Mr.. Hill and the
Canadian Pacific interests regarding
territory
Four of the extensions northward will
be known as the Sarles extension on
the Lakota branch from Edmore to
Sarles, wholly within Ramsey and Cav
aIier counties. The Thorne extension
comes next and will start from York,
on the main line, and extend northwest
ward through a rich farming country a
distance of AZ miles to Thorne, in the
Turtle mountain district. The Maxbass
extension comes third, and it will start
from the main line at TOwner and run
northwest to Maxbass, a distance of 46
miles The Sherwood extension starts
from Granville on the main line and
runs northwest to Sherwood through
the country called the Mouse river loop.

KICKING ON REFORM LAW.
Wisconsin Citizens Find New Railroad
Measure Works Hardship.


A Milwaukee correspondent of the
New York Journal of Commerce has
this to say on the operating of the new
law governing railroads, which was
passed by the last session of the Wis
consin legislatures:
THE new Wisconsin railroad law was
framed under the personal direction of
Mr.. E. P. Bacon, and had the full ap-
prevail of Governor La Toilette: and a
majority of the people of the state gave
it express or tacit approval by electing
Mr.. La Toilette governor. But the citi-
zens have not found perfect satisfaction
in their new law. One of its provisions
was the prohibition of free passes, but
now they find that this works against
the interests of the state. Large areas
of vacant lands in the north have been
settled by immigrants who were
brought there by real estate agents,
and the real estate agents were able to
carry on their business because the
railroads gave them free or reduced
rate TRANSPORTATION, but they don't get
the passes and the immigrants don't
come. The railroads are also forbidden
to make reduced rates for harvest
hands and a farmer must go without
the temporary help which he has de-
pended upon in the harvest season. Per
sons travelling for pleasure can no long
er stop over in Wisconsin, the new law
forbidding stopovers. Even the inmates
of soldiers homes have been chilled by
the new law, as they now have to pay
their fare when they ride. AS for
freight rates. the shippers of the state
are trembling in their shoes lest some
body shall precipitate a lot of reduc-
lions which will deaden manufacturing
