HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee.

Life Insurance Companies will not
insure a man suffering from heart
trouble. The reason is obvious.
This is a serious matter to the hus-
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones. Often the
heart trouble is caused by an unex-
pected thing, and can be corrected, if
taken in time and properly treated.
A man in Colorado writes:
Il was great coffee drinker for
many years, and was not aware OF
the injurious effects of tie habit till
l became practical invalid, suffering
from heart trouble, Indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and a
nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings.
Il continued to drink Coffee, how
ever, not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill-health, till, on apply
ing for life insurance, / was rejected
on account of the trouble with my
heart. Then l became alarmed.
found that leaving off coffee helped me
quickly so l quit it altogether, and
having been attracted by the advertise
ments of Postum Rood Coffee, l began
its USE
"The change in my condition was
remarkable, and it was not long till
I was completely cured. All my all
ments vanished. My digestion was
completely restored, my nervousness
disappeared, and, most important OF
all, my heart steadied down and be-
came normal, and on second exam

HERE AND THERE.

What We know of the science OF
plant growing is only the condiment
to the thirst for knowledge raging
within us.
There has been a conspicuous eX-
pansion in the consumption of NUT
ton in the past decade, and more at
tention is being devoted to this feature
OF the meat industry.
Forestry is very rapidly taking its
place as a recognized profession. A
number of forest schools are training
young men for this work, but the de-
mand has outrun the supply.
Sheep are naturally healthy ami
mails, but quickly succumb to disease
under unfavorable conditions. Damp
pastures are conductive to foot rot, and
damp quarters at night produce sick
nes.,
twenty-five dollars extra spent in
educating and grooming horse to
properly fit him for market will often
add from $50 to $500 and sometimes
much more than that to Els selling
value.
The total area for farming pur-
poses in the United States is S41 ,0O0,-
600 acres-an area larger than Eng
land, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, France
Germany, Austria, Spain, Japan and
tbs Transvaal.
Cows want water at least twice
day, aud that at temperature that
suits them, which is surely not ice
water, but 20 or 80 degrees above. They

TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN.

There was a battlefield where myrlads lay,
Some deadly wounded, many thousand

Crowned by the crimson Hour for death

The mother gave her son; he lay forgot;
The wife her husband; in the cannon's path
Oblivion tossed him; and the maid be-
trothee

bomb
Was the fierce sexton at his sudden grave.
Their names the couriors bore not Far

II. A. Halbert, an expert on pecan

LAS rough estimate, we would say
tGat the area of land in TeXas on
which the pecan WILL thrive, without
crowding, is 10000, 900 acres. This vast
area will grow half billion of trees.
At low estimate of S. per trle as an
annual income, the total annual value
would be $500, 900 This, in pounds,
would be 100000 900, or 1850, 900 car
loads, enough to supply the world, and
in few years to absorb its wealth.
This estimate Is made upon basis Of
the low average rate in price and bear
ing qualities Of the Texas wild pecan
Suppose this area was planted in the
improved soft-shell varieties, and the
ruling price obtained for them, these
figures would be greatly augmented.
What are the actual facts, approXi-
mately, of the area covered by tha
wild pecans in Texas? We would esti-
mate it at about 500 square miles, or
80, 900 acres. From this area are gath
Grad and shipped, the best bearing
years in carload lots, about 700 cars, or
S0,0OO,000 pounds. The quantity shipped
by express and consumed at home by
man and beast will make 10000 900
pounds. This quantity at five cents a
pound should be worth to the state
$2,OOO,OOO. But prices are generally
low on these bumper crops, and per-
haps it actually brings only 100000
to the slate. In my opinion nothing
could be cultivated more probably"

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular corr es ponde

(From our regular corr eSpOndent.)
Washington, d. c., May GA report
is current in Washington, and has been
sent out by q number of correspond
ents, that an agreement has been reach
ed among the members of the Senate
committee on Interstate Commerce re
garding the form of railway legislation
which shall be enacted at the next Ses
sion of Congress and it is added that
the President has given his sanction
| to the programme. 1t is claimed that
bill to be framed which shall merely
extend the provisions of the Elkins
anti-rebate law, prevent discrimination
Of every character as between shippers
and even remedy the grave inequalities
now arrived at by the use of private
cars, that is, cars owned by special
companies like the Armour refrigerat
ing company, ct al.
No confirmation of this report can be
obtained and as a whole it appears to
be without foundaliO That the mem
bers of the Senate committee, the Re-
publican members, at least may have
reached such an agreement is entirely
possible. The railroads are insistent
that the only legislation which effects
their industry shall be confined to the
further prevention of rebates, in what
eyer form they are now given. That is
natural as rebates mean dlminutiOn
of railway profits. This explains, too,
why Senator Elkins fathered the Ie-
bate law which bears his name, no line
of which he ever drew. 1t is probably
reasonable to say it, but the fact is
that Philander Knox, then Attorney
General, now Senator from Pennsyl
vania, drew the Elkins anti-rebate la W
as it stands on the statutes, and Sena
tor Elkins' only connection with it
lay In the fact that he Was chairman
of the committee which reported it to
the Senate.
The improbable part of the current
report Is that the President has given
his sanction to the programme out
lined. Is it likely that the committee,
assuming that 1t has determined upon
a programme, has been able to submit
it to the President who, ever since the
the committee held it's first meeting.
has been industriously engaged in
chasing bears and bob cats through the
rocky Businesses of Colorado? Or is
it proboble that the President, even
had the committee succeeded in tres
of sending its plan to him, would have
considered it between hunts, 80 to
speak and forwarded his approval to
Washington by wireless telegraphy, or
telepathy, without even consulting his
Attorney General or other members of
his cabinet? 1t must be remembered |
that the President, in his last message
to Congress, specifically recommended |
that the power to adjudge the equity |
of railway rates complained of and The |
further power to fix an assumed just |
rate be conferred on the Interstate |
Commerce Commission. Certainly
there is no good ground for the assuDp-
ton that Mr.. Roosevelt has already de-
to swallow his specific recon.
and accept the sugg estions
Of Senator Elkins' committee.
