SOUND SLEEP.

cup to years ago. woman writes,
''I was in the habit of using both tea
and coffee regularly.
.sI found that my health was be-
ginning to fail, strange nervous attacks
would come suddenly upon me, making
me tremble SO excessive that l could not
do nv work while they lasted; my sleep
left me and l passed long nights in rest
less discomfort: I was filled with a
nervous dread as to the future.
/" A friend suggested that possibly tea
and coffee were to blame, and l. decided
to give them up, and in casting about
for a hot table beverage which | felt
was an absolute necessity, l, was led by
good fortune to try Postum Food Coffee.
For more than year I have used it
three times a day and expect, so much
good has it done me, tee continue its use
during the rest of my e.
''Soon after beginning the use of
Postum, I found, to my surprise. that,
through the long, dreary night:
dropped into sound, dreamless sleep
the moment my head touched the pillow.
Then I suddenly realized that all my
nervousness had left me, and my appe:
tite. which had fallen off before, had
all at once been restored so that ate
my food with keen relish.
90 All the nervous dread has gone. i
walk mile and half each. way to my
work every day and enjoy it. i find an
interest in everything that goes on
about me that makes life a pleasure
All this I owe to leaving off tea and

. AIDING MISSION WORKERS
Conference and Institute Will Be Held
in MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 81 to Feb. 2.

E. D: Soper, field secretary of the
Young People s Missionary movement,
has concluded short stay in Mime
apolis, preparing with the local COM
mittees the conference and institute to
be held in Minneapolis. Jan. 81 Feb. 2.
There is widespread interest in mis-
sionary work in all evangelical denom-
nations, almost every young people s
society having it's regular mission study
following definite plan Of work. To
aid these small societies and do work
which each society alo1fe could not do,
the Young People sgsNissionary move
ment was organized, with headquarters
in New York.
One Of the most important works of
the institute is the publishing of mis-
sionary': iterature;s~ comprising text
books on home and. foreign mission
various helps for the conduct Of mission
study. classes, reference and 'cam.
paign' libraries. Institutes are held
in various places to foster missionary
interest and help the various societies
Of the district in their work.
A conference for the middle west will
be held next summer at Lake Geneva
Wis. to which delegates from Young
Peoples societies and Sunday schools
f all the northwest will be invited.
The institute will also conduct confer
ences in various Young Peoples So
cieties and in Sunday schools, holding
model home and foreign mission study
classes, exhibi ting literature and hodl.
ing popular missionary meetings.

GREAT WESTERN A
TO PAY DIVIDEND
STOCK HAS PAID NOTHING SINCE
FEBRUARY, 1904.
management Now Feels, It Is Said,
That It Can Afford to Resume Divi-
dends at Rate Abandoned Because
Of Extensive Rate Smashes-Restora-
tion Of Tariffs Makes Action Possible.

In the undercurrent of the local
financial gossip, there was the intima-
tion today Of prospective resumption Of
dividends by the Chicago Great West
ern on its "A' stock. This will be
pleasant reading to Minneapolis hold
ers of the stock, k,swho have received no
return thereon since February, 1904. :
paid 22 per cent regularly in January
and June. It was matter for general
comment in financial circles in this
country and in Europe that at a time
when the northwest was more prosper
GUS than ever before, when former noni
dividend roads were paying dividends,
and the old dividend payers were add
ing to surplus account, the Stickney
property failed to continue. The Won
derful 500 line dividend record coming
about this time made the comparison
especially unfavorable.
The suspension set the railroad statis-
ticians at work, figuring out causes.
Nothing fundamental appeared. The
property was found to be sound, we'll
managed, and to be increasing its hold
upon tonnage, producing territory, gain
ing perceptibly in, the important Min
neapolis field. It was not tonnage
proposition, but rather a matter of
rates. ,. = -.
: Prior to 1904 the Great Western built
new lines into competing territory and
in the. fight for business, rates were
slashed. More recently settlement
was reached and rates restored to regu-
lar tariff basis. The management now
feels, it is said, that it can safely re.
sumo dividends at the rate abandoned
when the fight began. -. .:l~ !.
The effect Of restoration Of rates tc
tariff basis is shown in figures given
out today, gross earnings from July ]
to Nov. IA bring $3,325 ,971, an increase
Of $415,154 over the corresponding time
last year. The stock calls for dividends
whenever the money is available. II
is entirely a question Of earnings:
While the replacing of Great Western
"A' on dividend basis will not benefit
Minneapolis to any such extent as die
the dividends on 500, and subsequent
advances in the stock, there are large
