TAKES TINE
Some Years Getting There and What
Happened Then.

The poison i'll coffee does not always
work its mischief swiftly-sometimes 1t
fastens it's hold upon the victim by slow
degrees that are not noticeable for q
while. But once il begins. the day

4 lady writes from California:
we were great coffee drinkers n
our home, using it at every meal and
frequently drinking it in the evening
with friends, and il was nOt until after
the lapse of years that we began to re-
alize that it was doing us harm.
My symptoms were not so bad. al
though my health suffered i'm many
minor ways; but my husband became
afflicted with most painful stomach
trouble. He could not assimilate his
food properly and everything he ate
gave him great distress. NE were slow
TO suspect the truth. but we now see
that 1t was caused by the use of cof-
Zoe.
AT last he determined TO quit using
coffee altogether, and, like a good wife.
/ did so, too. We worried along for a
month without any hot table beverage
till one day friend happened 10 say
TO me: ] am using Postum Food Cof-
fee now. and feel SO much better for
it, I told her that We had tried it and
did not care for L.. and she said il must
have been because il wasn't properly
prepared. So / bought a package and
prepared it strictly according to direc-
tions. We were astonished and de-
lighted at the result
We have been using Postum Coffee
for a year now, and rejoice TO be able
TO tell You that 1t has cured my hus-
band of his dyspepsia, This is a
statement that does not seem 10 have
the significance it ought 10 have. If
could make you understand how in
tense his sueffrings used 10 be, you
would realize what a deliverance Pos
tum wrought for him

improved, and the credit for all must
be given TO Postum"

CHICAGO, Sept 9.-John D. Rookie
feller's advice to Chicago Is to put its
vagrants to work building good roads
instead of driving them forth into the
country. This advice he extends to
the whole country, together with a
warning that there are hard times COM
ing. An industrial panic due to over
production in all lines Is predicted by
the oil king for 1913.
He thinks the government ought to
begin now and legislate for it. The
only way to provide work for the 7,O00,-
900 idle will be to set them at work
building good roads.
These opinions are ascribed to Mr.
Rockefeller by Colonel w. H. Moore
president of the National Good Roads
association, who has had a conversa-
tion with the millionaire. Colonel
Moore said Mr. Rockefeller predicted
that where there were 100000 men out
of work in 1898, there would be from
100000 to 100000 idle in 19o7-s

LONDON, Sept. 9.--It is becoming
evident that the advent of peace at the
blessing for the fortunes of Russians
when regarded In their broadest aspect.
The war created an opportunity which
bade fair to enable the oppressed mil
lions of Russians to throw off the TYR
amy which for many generations has
crippled the national life.
Organized effort to this end was ne
cessarily slow but much had been ac-
complished. The reform leaders had
got the bureaucracy nearly down. They
had forced their way. past it and had
told the czar in plain terms the kind
of rotten misgovernment he was Civ
ing them. This they will not soon be
able to do again.
The bureaucracy is on its feet once
more. With no foreign war to shake
its nerves, and with the restoration Of
financial credit to strengthen its one
great weapon of oppression, it is not
afraid of the independent reformers
just now. The st. Petersburg CORES
pondent writes that the active reform
ers are all at sea, their plans thrown
into confusion by the unexpected peace.
They are agreed only on one point, that
the Portsmouth peace has put the clock
back in Russia.
1t must not be inferred, however,
that the cause of liberty has been lost
or. abandoned. 1t means only that.
while liberty might have been won by
constitutional methods If the war had
been allowed to continue little longer
it now must, in all probability, be
fought for.
That fight, there is too good reason to
fear, must be far bloodier in order to
succeed than was the more civilized
warfare which has been waging in
Manchuria.

CHICAGO, Sept 9.-The ditch COM
missioners of Lake county, Indiana, are
projecting the reclamation of the hunt
ing marshes which range for miles
along the Calumet river on both sides.
These marshes include the celebrated
hunting preserves of the Tolleston Gun
club of Chicago. comprising thousands
of acres of valuable rice fields.
The reclaiT'ng of the marshes will
destroy the lg hunting preserves, but
the land gclaimed will be the most
valuable FARMING land in Indiana.
1t was intended at first that the pro-
ject should only embrace the land ad-
jacent to Hammond. but the work of
cutting a new channel and deepening
the Calumet river bed will affect not
only the low land in that vicinity but
the entire Calumet system.
1t will take year or more to finish
the work.
The Tolleston club marshes have been
the scene of fierce and bloody battles
between the club watchmen and tres
passing farmers. during which many
have been killed.

to protest to President Roosevelt.
The chief engineer, John F. Stevens,
has been sending daily appeals to the

send his men food. 1t was said today
by good authority that the laborers who

due to the fact that the demand for
food has raised the prices of all com
