Government is Said to Re DispHensed With Louisville and Nashville Service Owing to Failure
 fo Make Schedules.

The report is current that the Louis- vIlle and Nashville Railroad Company may lose the contract for handling the mail from Washington to New Orleans and the Southwest. because of recent failures to make the train schedules between Montgomery and New Orleans according to contract,
 Train No. 97, the fast mail train, car ries nothing but mail. and aside from the Government appropriation for car rying the mail, has TO other source of revenue
 X railroad official, when talking on the subject yesterday, said that as the Government contract for the fast mail service was about to expire, there was a grave doubt as to whether there would be a renewal of the appropria- tion, and If the fast mail was diverted from it's present route with the same appropriation. it would more than probably be routed through St. Louis over the Gould lines,
 Another contending route for the fast mail is said to be by way of the Southern to Grand Junction, Tenn. where connection is made with the H. finois Central. which is direct route into New Orleans.
 The railroads handling the fast mail at present are hopeful of retaining it., fearing the curtailment of the Govern ment appropriation more than the loss of their contract.

"My husband and five children were all afflicted with eczema. They had it two years.

It affected us ali over except head and hands. We saw Cuticura Remedies advertised and con- cluded to try them. So sent for Sl.O0 worth, consisting of one cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Ointment, and one vial of Pills, and we commenced to use them. I do not know how to express my joy in finding a cure, for two of my OhiI- dren were SO bad that they have the brown scars on their bodies where they were sore.

rhe Problem Not plmeult Ot solution

 A Western woman who had been for years a sufferer from Chronic gas fritis induced, it Is believed, by over indulgence in coffee" gives an inter- esting experience with good, healthy moral attached to it:
 For five or six years I tried every patent nostrum advertised for the relief pr cure of dyspepsia. Sometimes l found temp orary relief; sometimes l was for months blistered and burned with pIasters externally, or drugged and dfeted till I was too disheartened and Respondent to care whether I lived or died, for never got any permanent relief.

 My kidneys became badly affected and female weakness resulted. I was dropsical at times; at others much ema- ciated l tried change of climate and spent three years travelling in search Of health coming back home to ths same old routine of medicine.
 Tt is about three years now since first tried Grape-Nuts food-not with any hope of finding anything l could eat, but because l was so sick of ev- erything else. liked the flavor of Grape-Nuts so much that I ate scarcely anything else for week.
 T we'll remember my astonishment when found l could satisfy my appe- kite without paying the penalty of hours of suffering; that I could eat a supper of Grape-Nuts and sleep all night afterwa wards-something I had not done for years
 But even after a months use of Grape-N Nuts l did not imagine the relief was anything more than temporary till found I was gaining flesh at the rate of five or six pounds per month, that my digestion was restored, my kidney trouble had disappeared and my nerves had become toned up and steady I have eaten Grape Nuts daily ever since and shall continue to do so as long as live.
 At present I weigh 157 pounds-not fabby, dropsieal flesh. but hard solid flesh, l eat three meals every day can indulge in fruit and never suffer a single pang from indigestion.
