NO DAWDLING
A NInn of 70 After finding Coffee Hurt
 Him, Stopped Short.

When a man has lived to be seventy years old, with forty-year-old habit grown to him like knot on a tree, chances are he'll stick to the habit till he dies.
 But occasionally the spirit of youth and determination remains in some men to the last day of their lives. When such men do find any habit of life has been doing them harm they surprise the Oslerites by a degree of will power that is supposed to belong to men under for ty only.
 q had been a user of coffee until three years ago-a period of forty years-and am now seventy" writes a N. Dak. man. "I was extremely nervous and dehilitated, and saw plainly that must make a change.
 T am thankful to say l had the nerve to quit coffee at once and take on Pos tum without any dawdling, and experi- enced no ill-effects. On the contrary, commenced to gain, losing my nervous ness within two months, also gaining strength and health otherwise.
 For a man of my age I am very well and hearty. I sometimes meet persons who have not made their Postum right and don't like it. But tell them to boil it long enough, and call their attention to my looks now and before I used it; that seems convincing.
 "Now, when l have writing to do, or long columns of figures to cast up, I feel equal to it and can get through my work without the fagged-out feeling of old" Name given by Postum O.. Bat tie Creek, Mich. Read the book, 'The Road to Melville" in pkgs. There's a reason.'

oUAIL IN NEBRASKA.

Grouse and prairie chicken are re- ported more plentiful than for num- Der of years, due to rigid enforcement of the law with relation to the ship ment and sale of them, and also to the favorable matching conditions during the early months of the season.
 These birds are found principally in the territory north of the Platte River and in the central and western DOT ton of the State, where reasonably good shooting may be expected. Quail have increased very rapidly during the last two years, and we hardly realize that they were practically exterminst- ed by weather conditions during the winter of 19OS.-Lincoln correspondence Forest and Stream.

DIFFICULTY TO GET CLERKS.
Situation at Postoffices Due to Low Sal.
 aries and Long Hours.

Situation at Postoffices Due to Low Sal
 aries and Long Hours.
 Considerable comment has been aroused among business men as well as the general public by the large number of reslgnations taking place in the cler- ical force of the local postoffice. Never before in. It's history have so many clerks severed their connection with the office in so short space of time, nor has it ever before come about that the list of eligibles has been exhausted. Should any further resignations occur the authorities will be obliged to face a serious situation. During @ period of ten days four clerks have resigned, making total of six since the first of September, and it is rumored that oth- CTS are liable to follow.
 The clerks who have quit are from the lower grades, and they have sought more lucrative employment, having be- come disheartened by the excessively arduous labor and the extremely poor prospect of securing better salaries. Not for @ great many years have the sala- ries of postoffice clerks been adjusted to meet the conditions of the service, and clerk must serve a long term be- fore he can reach salary that will en- able him to maintain himself with any degree of comfort, On his entrance into the service a clerk receives $500 a year, and his advancement depends wholly upon the liberality of congress in ap- propriating for that branch. He is obliged to work Sundays and holidays. with no limit to the hours of labor, many instances being known where fourteen hours have constituted a days work. Such conditions as these have not proved attractive to young men throughout the country, and many post masters have experienced great dihi- culty in securing help.
 One of the local clerks, who is con versant with conditions existing in many of the large postofices of the country, states that the present state of affairs in the local office is similar to that existing in hundreds of offices
The daily morning journal and courier., 1906-10-19

throughout the country. One office in New Jersey was obliged to employ fe male help last summer in order to car " on it's business, there being no ellgi- ble list and young men declining to ac- cept positions. In New York and Chi- cago hundreds of clerks resign each year, and a record has been established in the metropolis in that 2SS clerks have resigned in eight months. It is reported that on Tuesday a large number of clerks employed in branch of the New York postoffice, after laboring twelve and fourteen hours daily for number of days, were so overcome by the strain that they quit their work after four teen-hour tour of duty, refusing to re- turn.
 The postoff1ce department is about to institute a thorough investigation into the conditions existing in the various postofiices, and the clerks are hopeful that the results of the inquiry will cause the department to renew its demands on congress to enact legislation in be- half of the men inside the offices

GIRL HNADED oFF BY WOLVES

11IhL I1E1ADLD OH ID | w 0l4N l1A9s
 Wolves are becoming numerous in Door county, especially in the vicinity of what is known as Government Bluff, a few miles from this city.
 Miss Anna Bergasland crossed Saw yer Harbor in a boat and started to go home by a road through the woods, She had gone but short distance when she heard a wolf howl. In a few minutesothers began to answer, and realize that pack of the animals were between her and her home the young woman become frightened and started back to the shore.
 The wolves struck her trail and fol- lowed her, being only a few rods be- hind when she reached the shore. A number of boys on the dock had beard the bowling of the wolves and hurried across the harbor in boat, reaching the shore just as Miss Bergsland ap- peared. She hastily entered their boat and was rowed out of danger-Eturg- con Bay correspondence St. Paul Pion- ger Press.
