An Asheville, North Carolina. dis,
patch says that for saving the lives of
a score of passengers and preventing a
wreck by tagging train with her red
petticoat, Mamie Gibson, eleven years
old, bare-footed mountain girl, has
received a reward from the Southern
railway, and 1t is just what Mamie had
said that she wanted most, an educa'
ton.
She has received a letter from the
company. agreeing to give her col
lege education and to see that she is
well provided for.
Mamie lives in little mountain HIT
with her father and mother in the
Black mountains. A big slide occurred
on the mountain while she was at home
alone. She ran down the railroad track,
waving her red petticoat. A heavy
train was stopped by her ten feet from
where the mountain had caved in. Be
low was an abyss several thousand
feet deep.

The Patriot.

A resident of Ava, N. Y. was talk
ing about the late Hiram cronk, the
last survivor of the war of 1912.
AT the age of lOO," said the Ava
man, Mr.. Cronk still had an alert
mind. Above all things he was pa
triot. He believed firmly in the SUI
premacy of our republic.
An English traveller. out of curios-
ity. came to Ava to see Mr.. Cronk one
day. The old patriot praised America
extravagantly and condemned Eng
land as an outworn and dying nation.
THE Englishman stoO this talk as
long as he could. Then he said. hotly:
Suppose our superb fleet were to
land $4,000 British marines in New
York-what would you Yanks do
them
Dor said Mr.. Cronk. Why, dern
it. our police would arrest them. =

IN CoLoNEL'S 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. suf-
fering from indigestion and a nervous
trouble so severe that l could hardly
sleep. The doctor ordered me to- dis
continue the use of the old kind OF
coffee. which was like poison to me,
producing such extreme disturbance
that | could not control myself. But
such was my love for it that l could
not get my own consent to give 1t up
for some time. and continued to suffer.
till my father one day brought home
package OF Postum Food Coffee.
Il had the new food drink carefully
prepared according to directions, and
gave it fair trial. 1t proved to have
rich flavor and made healthy.
wholesome and delightful drink. To
my taste the addition of cream great
ly improves 1t.
MY health began to improve as
soon as the drug effect of the old cof-
fee was removed and the Postum Cot
fee had time to make its influence felt.
My nervous troubles were speedily re-
lieved and the sleep which the old cof-
fee drove from my pillow always came
to soothe and strengthen me after I
had drunk Postum-in a very short
time l began to sleep better than
had for years before. have now used
Postum Coffee for several years and
like 1t better and find 1t more benefi-
cial than when l first began. 1t is an
unspeakable joy to be relieved of the
old distress and sickness" Name

There has been a great deal Of dis
appointment because the Garfield re-
port shows that the profits of the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent OF the volume OF
business transacted. There is no
doubt. however, that the report is cor
rect.
The census reports compiled by the
government in 1900. before the agita-
tion regarding the beef trust" began.
throw considerable light on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from the census that
the packing industry is conducted on
a smaller margin OF gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of S7l flour and
grist mills in Illinois, in the census
year was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business. The gross
margin of fiftyone wholesale slaugh-
terlng and meat packing establish
ments in Illinois was only about one
third as large. or a little more than
two per cent on the volume of bust
ness.
The millers have not been accused
of being in trust" and combina-
tons would seem impossible in a bust
ness where there are several thousand
mills in the United States competing
acth sIy for the -four trade. but it APP
pears that the gross profits Of the mill.
Crs are larger than the gross profits
of the packers. II may turn out that
the agitation regarding the packing
industry Will SLOW the same result as
the deyll ind in shearing the pig:

THE MONTHLY TRIAL
HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING

A Woman Tells How she Has become Wen
and strong after Years of Misery
Due to Irregular Functions.
The fact that one woman is bright
eyed, rosy checked, strong and cheerful,
while another is p;-le, weak and de-
pressed, is due more often than other
wise to the regularity in the one case
and the irregularity in the other of the
functions that are peculiar to the sex.
When these are disturbed everything
goes wrong; pain and discomfort are
felt all over the body; the sensations are
often terrifying.

Surely women are wise in seeking
