CIVILIZATIONS FRIEND.
The Iron Horse Spreads knowledge
and Progress.

We have yet two decades to wait be-
fore we can celebrate the centennial
anniversary OF the birth of the railroad,
says 1.-THE Worlds Progress" in Four
Track News for July. 1t is wonder
full record. that eighty years of rapid
transit development. 1t has revolu-
tionized the world commercially, So
cially and intellectually. The Atlantic
and the Pacific have become near
neighbors; the inaccessible and there
fore yalueless plains of the West have
been penetrated and brought into
touch with the markets of the world:
New York and Chicago, that in the pio-
neer days were weeks away from one
another, are now but eighteen hours
apart.
The railroad has entered Jerusalem;
1t has pierced darkest Africa; 1t is
crossing the sands of Sahara; it scales
the side of Vesuvius; it bridges the
most forbidding chasms and tunnels
through mountains and under rivers.
The whistle of the locomotive is the
voice of progress! The rails over
which 1t runs are steel bands that bind
nations into a great commercial broth
erhood.
The rapid development of the world
along every desirable line since the To-
comotive became factor in human af
fairs, is all the argument necessary to
prove the railroad the greatest of all
civilizing influences. A comparison OF
the past eighty years. with the thou
sands of centuries preceding furnishes
an eloquent proof of, the far-reaching,
uplifting, Industrial. ethical and edu-
catiOnal value of the railroad.

chamois Skin Of Commerce.

Charles C. Druedling. of Philadel-
phia. has written an article for the
American journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of chamois skins. What is
known in the market as chamois skins.
he says. is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the channels animal is very
limited-enoush could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than single day. He made
special inquiry on a recent visit to
Switzerland about the annual crop OF
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be a
fair average yearly crop. This skin is
heavier than the skin of the sheep or
lamb. also much coarser. For strength
and durability the chamois skin is pre-
ferable. but for ordinary use and ap-
pearance the oil-tanned sheep skin
lining would. in most instances. be
preferred.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market years ago knows from eX-
perience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and a steady brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So l continued
its use and very soon IT'S beneficial ef-
fects convinced me of its value, for
l got well of my nervousness and dys-
pepsia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
Zee all his life until it had affected
MS nerves terribly. / persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
we soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make long story short our
entire family have now used Postum

BIG NEW SHOE BUILDING.
ft Is Dedicated by the w. L. Douelns
Co. at Brockton.

The dedication short time ago Of
the new administration and jobbing
house building erected by the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Co. as part of its man.
moth manufacturing plant at Montello
was marked by the thoroughness and
attention to detail characteristic of the
firm in all its undertakings.
The dedicatory program included
open house from IL a. m. to p. m.
with concert by the Mace Gay orches-
ira and the presence of Boston
caterer to attend to the wishes of all.
The building itself afforded feast
for the eye, especially the Offices.
which are marvels in many ways.
Fifteen thousand invitations were sent
out, including over 1000 to the re-
tail dealers in the United States who.
handle the w. L. Douglas Co. shoes,
the others going to shoe manufactur-
ers and all allied industries in Brock
ton and vicinity. Mr.. Douglas will be
glad to have anybody who is interest
ed call and inspect the new plant, and
says "the latch string is always out"
All departments of the plant were
open for inspection, the three factories
as well as the new building, and WIS.,
itors were received and escorted
through the industrial maze by ex-
Gov. Douglas, assisted by the heads
of the various departments.
Under the present system all shoes
are manufactured to order, and GUS
toners sometimes lose sales waiting
for shoes to arrive. With the new
iobbing house they will be enabled to
have their hurry orders shipped the
same day they are received.
The new building is 26O feet long
and 60 feet wide and two stories in
height. The jobbing department will
occupy the entire lower floor. while the
offices will occupy the second floor.
The jobbing department will carry
complete stock of mems, boys, youths.
misses and children's shoes. slippers,
rubbers and findings equal to any job
bing house in the country. Buyers are
especially invited to come here to
trade. and every effort possible will be
made to suit their convenience. There
will be finely appointed sample room
on the second tioor with an office in
which both telephone and telegraph
will be installed. with operators. both
Western Union and Postal Telegraph
wires to be used. There will also be
arrangements for the receipt and deS
patch of mail.

OF course the one big attraction this
year is the airship 1t is the Knabenshue
airship, that made several successful trips
at Washington, ID. c., and New York. A
house has been built for 1t east of the old
machinery quadrangle and north of the
new dining hall. 1t will make one or two
trips every day. and after leaving its
house will go straight down in front OF
the amphitheater. 1t will circle around
the grounds and then down to the city,
circling the capitol dome and the business
district of the city, and then back to the
fair grounds.
Every afternoon In front OF the grand
stand during the races there is to be an
especially strong vaudevIIe. The acts will
trained elephants are among the list of at
fractions. There will also be jugglers and
acrobats and an especial vaudeville has
been made up for the night attraction.
The races are always recognized as one
OF tie great attractions at the fair every
year. There are four 1900 purses hung
up this year; one OF them is for a 2I9
trot and one for a 2:1S pace. 1t is ex-
pected that there will be some fast work

the east part of the city 1t was big step
in the right direction for the state fair.
and from that time 1t began to attract
greater attention. But the abandoning of
leased grounds for permanent grounds was
a small step compared to that now well
entered upon of replacing all the old frame
structures and exposition halls with per-
manent brick and steel structures of much
larger proportions.
Every visitor to the Iowa State fair will
be confronted with this new era of brick
and steel. There are two new buildings
erected by appropriations from the Twenty
ninth and Thirtieth general assemblies, the
$50 900 stock pavilion and the $4,000 agri-
cultural hall, both OF which were used at
the last state fair. These are enormous
buildings and the advantage to the fair
derived from each of them can be at
tested to by every person who has ever
visited the fair. This year there are two
new buildings to greet the visitor to as
sure him that the progressive movement is
TO be continued. On the main avenue en-
trance to the state fair grounds of the
amphitheater an entire row of board shacks
has been removed and at cost of about
5000 a permanent brick and steel build
ing has been erected for a dining hall.
In this building there are four spacious
halls with kitchen equipments in the rear.
so that 1t will no longer be necessary for
