Fools All the Doctors.

There is a hale and hearty looking
old chap walking about town." re-
marked New York physician lately.
who for years has had a complica-
ton Of diseases which make him most
interesting to the profession. The
ailments OF which he shows undenia-
BILE symptoms are rarely seen in com
binaton and the state Of his inner
workings is matter for speculation
among the doctors who have examined
him.
THE old fellow himself loves to tell
that when he first asked medical adj
vice. some twenty years ago, the ply
stefan, famous practitioner in those
days, wrote across the diagnosis he
had put down on paper: This man
cannot live thirty days. / should like
to be present at the autopsy That
great doctor has been dead these
many years and the dying patient still
smiles cheerfully and seeks a cure for
his malady. Queer, isn't it?"

In line with the classic case or the
oyster shippers, cited by President
Hadley OF Yale University IN his book
on Railroad Transportation, is the case
OF the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile OF the
Boston & Maine Railroad before the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Nothing could better show how
a railroad works for the interest OF
the localities which it serves.
A main dependence OF the farmers of
the Aroostook region is the potato
crop. aggregating annually eight to
ten million bushels which find mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions OF New Eng
land. The competition OF cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms of Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favOrlng sun and
rains brought q tremendous yield of
potatoes from the Michigan fields. At
normal rates and kprices there would
have been glut OF the customary mar
ketSYand the potatoes would have rot
ted on the farms. TO help the potato
growers the railroads from Michigan
made unprecedentedly low rates on
potatoes to every readable market,
even carrying them in large quantities
to q place so remote as Boston. The
Aroostook growers had to reduce the
rrice on their potatoes and even then
could not dispose of them unless the
Boston & Maine Railroad reduced Its
already low rate, which it did. BY
means Of these low rates, making pos
sible low prices, the potato crops OF
both Michigan and Maine were finally
marketed. Everybody cats potatoes,
and that year everybody had all the
potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruiDous to
the railroads, had they been applied to
the movement of all potatoes at all
times to all places, they helped their
patrons to find markets for them. The
Boston & Maine Railroad suffered de-
crease in its revenue from potatoes,
but it enabled the ArooStook farmers
to market their crop and thereby to
obtain money which they spent for
the varied supplies which the rail-
roads brought to them. If the making
of rates were subject to Governmental
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken
because it is we'll established that If
rate he once reduced by railroad
company it cannot be restored through
the red tape of Governmental proceed
ure. If the Michigan railroads and the
Boston & Maine Railroad had been
subjected to Governmental Limitation
they would have felt obliged to keep
up their rates as do the railroads OF
France and England and Germany UNI
der Governmental Limitation and let
the potatoes rot.-Exchange.

Fritz Wanted TO Know

Fritz was the meekest looking office
boy that ever put glue on a bookkeep
per's stool. He worked for lawyer
and one day the lawyer had a woman
client, whose brute Of a husband had
beaten her and for whom he filed suit
for divorce.
A week later the husband, feet tall
and broad in proportion. came into the
office drunk, announcing his intention
Of whipping every one there. Every
one was too busy, to see him and he
was left to Fritz.
Fritz held conversation with the man
and listened to his troubles Finally
the man declared loudly: I've buried
three wives. two Of them in this coun.
ty."
What county buried the other one =
inquired Fritz.

Profits OF the Packers.

Ihere has been a great Zeal OF dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the pack
ing industry only amount TO about two
per cent. on the volume of business
transacted. There is no doubt. how
ever, that the report is correct.
Inc census reports complied by the
government in 1900. before the agita-
ton regarding the beef trust" began.
nrow considerable light on this uues-
uon- 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry Is conducted on n
smaller margin of gross profit than any
other industry in America. The gross
margin of profit of ST. flour and grist
mills in Illinois, in the census year.
was nearly seven per cent. on the vol
ume OF business. The gross margin OF
nfty-one wholesale Strengthening and
meat packing establishments I'm Illinois
was only about one-third as large. or n
little more than two per cent. on the
volume of business.
The millerS have not been accused
OF being In trust" and combina-
lions would seem impossible i'm a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
actively for the -four trade. but it APP
pears that the gross profits of the mill
ers are larger than the gross profits Of
the packers. 1t may turn out that the
agitation regarding the packing indus
try will show the same result as the
devil found in Shearing the pig: "AII
squeal and no wool"

Why, when buying book. are we in
fuenced by the authors name? WHY by
an artists if we purchase a picturey
Why do wise buyers insist upon having
reliable name on nearly everything they
purchase?
1t is because the name attached is the
safeguard of the buyer - protection
against the palming off of inferior articles.
This name guarantee" we all look for in
the most important things we buy, and
what can be more important than our
food?
Everybody knows that all intelligent
housekeepers are very particular about the
buying OF things to eat and drink, and no.
body realizes 1t more than the up-to-date
grocer, who caters to the wants of his Gus
toners
For instance, every real grocer knows
the reason for the universal popularity of
LION COFFEE. the leader of all package
cohees. lie knows that its uniform purity
and high quality have made it welcome in
millions of American homes for over a
quarter of century.
Realizing this he cannot but hand it out
cheerfully when asked for it, He knows
that the people accept the package as a
guarantee of the contents
Yet there may be few grocers left who
do hot recognize that the buyer-not the
seller-has the right of choice, and they
may want TO sell their loose coffee (who
knows what it is, or where IT came -from y
instead of LION COFFEE, which the Gus
toner asks for, and the merits of which
both know
In such cases the wisest advice is:
Change your dealer"

IN COLONIES TOWN
Things Happen.

From the home Of the famous "Keyh-
mel Keeyartah. OF Gainesville" away
down South. comes an enthusiastic let
ter about Postum.
Il was in very delicate health. sut-
fering from indigestion and 4 nervous
trouble so severe that / could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me TO dis
continue the use of the old kind of cof-
fee. which was like poison to me, pro-
ducing such extreme disturbance that
could not control myself But such
was my love for 1t that could not get
my own consent to give ii up for some
time. and continued to suffer till my
father one day brought home a pack
age of Postum Food Coffee.
81 had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions. and
gave it n fair trial. 1t proved to have
n rich flavor and made healthy,
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream greatly
improves it,
MY health began TO improve rs soon
as the drug effect Of the old coffee was
removed and the Postum Coffee had
time TO make its influence felt My
nervous troubles were speedily relieved
and the sleep which the old coffee
drove from my pillow always came to
soothe and strengthen me after 1 had
drunk Postum-in very short time
began to sleep better than ! had for
years before. ] have now used Postum
Coffee for several years and like IL bet
ter and find 1t more beneficial than
when first began. 1t is an unspeak-
able JOY to be relieved OF the old dis
tress and sickness" Name given by

Chinese In New York.

There were $3.50 Chinese inhabl-

is that the actual number Of China,
men is twice as large. Though there
is a rigid federal exclusion law and
few births occur in the Chinese quar-.
tiers. the Chinese population seems to
increase.

TEAM KILLED

About 10 O'Clock Wednesday
morning while Mr.. Miller was driving
a heavy. dark bay team belonging to
the Badger Box s. Lumber Company,
and being driven through the railroad
yards adjacent to the mill they
became frightened and ran away. In
spite of the efforts of the driver to get
them under control they ran directly
into moving freight train. One horse
was killed outright while The other
was SO badly injured that they were
Obliged to shoot him. The driver was
unhurt and ChaS. Schneider who was
riding in the rig at the time jumped
in time to free himself from any
injury. The loss of the team to the
company will be about $500.
