Private Car Lines,

The railroads seem very willing to
have the private car lines brought IN
der the Jurisdiction Of the Interstate
Commerce Commission. A railroad
President is authority for the state
ment that lines are paid mileage, with
out discrimination, and the question OF
excessive charges Is a matter for the
shipper to settle with the car lines, so
long as there is no law to govern their
rates. Car mileage paying has been de-
cided to be as legal as the payment OF

COFFEE HEART.
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go IN suffering
from annoying ailments for a long time
before they can get their own consent
TO give. up the indulgence from which
their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
~ became satisfied some months ago
that I owed the palpitation Of the
heart, from which I suffered almost
daily, to the use Of coffee Il had been a
coffee drinker for 80 years., but I found
it very hard to give up the beverage.
81 realized that 1 must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee, but 1 felt
the necessity for a hot table drink, and
as tea is not to my liking, 1 "a at a
loss for awhile, what to do. g.
zone day l ran across a very sensible
and straightforward presentation Of
the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and
was SO impressed thereby that I con-
Guided to give it a trial. Ny experience
with it was unsatisfactory till 1 learned
how it ought to be prepared-by thor
ough boiling for not less than Is or 20
minutes. After 1 learned that lesson
there was no trouble. Postum Food
Coffee proved to be a most palatable
and satisfactory hot beverage, and 1
have used it ever since.
The effect on my health has been
most salutary. 1t has completely cured
the heart palpitation from which I used
to suffer so much, particularly after
breakfast, and / never have a return of
it except when 1 dine or lunch away
from home and am compelled to drink
the old kind Of coffee because Postum
is not served. 1 find that Postum Food
Coffee cheers and invigorates while it
produces no harmful stimulation"

Creek, Mich.

a crew Of three men, and was bound
for Philadelphia loaded with coal for
an Eastern port. The Glendower ap-
peared from the Arkansas to have been
uninjured.
The Arkansas formerly was owned by
the Southern Pacific Railway Com
pany. For many years she was en-
ployed in services out Of New Orleans,
running from that port to Havana, and
also between New York City and New
