parts of the wheat berry treated by different mechan

Of pure New Orleans moasses. So he knows Postum
contains not one thing in the world but Wheat and
New Orleans molasses. It took more than year of
experimenting to perfect the processes and learn how
to develop the dasase and properly treat the other
clements in the wheat to produce the cofee-ke flavor
that makes suspicious people wonder" But there
never has been one grain Of old-fashioned or drug
coffee in Postum and never will be.
Another thing, we have on file in our general offices

coffee is now and always has been absolutely fair If
one wants stinulant and can digest coffee and it

it does with some).
Or if it sets up disease Of the stomach and bowels

Or if it causes weak eyes (and it does with some).

Because their pocketbooks are hurt they would
drive the people back to the old coffee slavery.
One coffee prevancator says: ut POSTUM has
lately been exposed and found to contain an excess
of very ordinary coffee"
Another that 'it POSTUM is made from small

that the supply is adequate for that
purpose. While this showing, on its
face, indicates a compliance with
law, the fact remains that the water
supply, if any at all, is not sufficient
to permanently reclaim the land
The ownership Of stock in a pro-
jected irrigation ditch which does
not exist in fact or the ownership
Of a pump temporarily Installed, has
often been accepted, in connection
with such testimony, as proof Of the
possession Of water. Many alleged
irrigation bitches or reservoirs are
familiar to members Of the Commits
sion which are utterly inadequate to
irrigate a square rod, and upon the
strength Of such works patent has
frequently then issued to $50 acres of
land.
Frauds committed through conven-
tional forms of perjury and through
lack Of proper verificatio of the
facts as to the reclamation Of the
land justify the taking Of immediate
and radical steps In the revision of
the law. The law should absolutely
require an actual adequate water
supply, and the limits as to quantity
should be defined.
In short, the law should render i'm
possible the continuance of the
practices by which desert lands
and without crops are passed into
the possession Of claimants.
Grabbing Lands.
The great bulk Of the vacant pub
lie lands throughout the West are I'M
suitable for cultivation under the
present known conditions of agricul-
ture, and so located that they can
not be reclaimed by irrigation. They
are, and probably always must be-
of chief value for grazing. There are
it is estimated, more than 100000
900 acres Of public grazing land, an
area approximately equal to one-ffth
the extent Of the United States
proper. The exact limits can not be
set, for with seasoned changes large
areas of land which afford good
grazing one year are almost desert in
another. There are also vast tracts
Of wooded timbered land in which
grazing has much importance, and
until a further classification Of the
public lands is made it will be i'm
possible to give with exactness the
total acreage. The extent is so vast
and the commercial interests in
volved SO great as to demand in the
highest degree the wise and conser-
vative handling of these vast re-
1t is a matter Of the first import
ance to know whether these grazing
lands are being used in the best way
possible for the continued devel p
ment of the country or whether
they are being abused under sys-
tenn which is detrimental to such de-
veIopment and by which the only
present value Of the land is being
rapidly destroyed.
At present the vacant public lands
are theoretically open commons, free
TO all citizens but as a matter of fact
a large proportion have been parceled
out by more or less definite compacts
or agreements among the various in-
terests. These tacit agreements are
being violated. The
sheepmen and cattlement are in fire.
