OUTDOOR LIFE
WIN Not onset the nj Enects of Coffee
When One Cannot Digest It.

A farmer says:
1T was not from liquor or tobacco
that for ten years or more suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble,
they were caused by the use CT coffee
until I got so bad I had to give up
coffee entirely and almost give up eat
ing. There were times when I could
eat only boiled milk and bread and
when I went to the field to work I had
to take some bread and butter along
to give me strength.
Il doctored with doctors and took all
most everything I could get for my
stomach in the way of medicine but if
I got any better it only lasted a little
while until I was almost a walking
skeleton.
"One day I read an ad for Postum
and told my wife I would try it, and
as to the following facts I will make
aff1davit before any Judge:
II quit coffee entirely and used Pos
tum In its place. I have regained my
health entirely and can eat anything
that is cooked to eat. have increased
in weight until now weigh more than
I ever did; have not taken any medf
cine for my stomach since began US
ing Postum. Why, I believe Postum
will almost digest an iron wedge.
MY family would stick to coffee at
first but they saw the effects 1t had
on me and when they were feeling bad
they began to use Postum, one at a
time. until now we all use Postum .

ONLY THREE KNOWN DEAD A.
RESULT OF RECENT ROCK
/ ISLAND WRECK.

Dover. Okla, Sept. 20.-Twenty
persons who were known to have oc.
cupied the smoker on the northbound
Rock Island train that went into the
Cimarron river near here Tuesday
morning are unaccounted for. Efforts
are being made to locate the smoker,
which is at a point 40 yards below
the site of the bridge. A strong eddy
Is believed to mark the spot where
the smoker sank. The water has
fallen five feet from the high mark,
but neither the engine, baggage car
nor the smoker can be seen. The
known dead number three and two Of
the sixteen injured may die.
Searchers with torches worked all
night to rescue any possible victims
that might still be in the submerged
cars and for distance of twenty
miles down the stream parties were
on the lookout for victims. 1t was
known that several Of those who es-
capped from the wreckage had drifted
down with the swift current, some of
them having been as far as fifteen
miles distant from Dover. From one
point bodies were reported as floating
by, but this was not verified. During
the night the river fell almost as rap
idly as it had risen and the work of
removing the submerged cars from the
stream has begun.

NOMINATIONS.

st. Paul, Sept. 20.-With possibly
one exception, that of Buchanan in the
Sixth district, all the Republican
members of congress from this state,
who were candidates for renomina-
ton, were successful at the primaries.
The latest returns from the Sixth dis
trict indicate that c. A. Lindbergh
has defeated Congressman Buchanan
after a most bitter campaign.
Tawney Of the First, Davis of the
Third, Volstead of the Seventh and
Stevenson Of the Ninth were chosen
without opposition. In the Second
McCleary won out by larger major
ity than two years ago, despite a hot
fight against him. In the Fourth Ste-
vens defeated Rogers by more than
5000 votes and in the Fifth Frank NJ
Nye secured the nomination in four
cornered contest. ]. Adam Bede was
an easy winner in the Eighth, carrying
practically every county in the dis
trict.
The Sixth district was the only dis
trict where there was any Democratic
contest for nomination and here NJ. c..
Tiff of Long Prairie won easily over
CD. Auyer of Little Falls.
For mayor of Minneapolis Jones,

for the Republican nomination, the
outcome being in doubt. James c..

OF Goods.
Chicago, Sept. 2O.-A blanket, in
crease of IS a ton in the price of wrap
ping and other grades Of wood fiber
papers, with corresponding advance
In other classes, has raised the fear
among Chicago dealers that new
trust is forming. This fear is aug
mented by the fact that the notices
abolishing former schedules were
withdrawn by all the mills simultane-
0usly and the prices listed thus far
have been identical.
While it is believed new combina-
ton of paper manufacturers has been
or is being formed it is not thought it
will be SO complete as that effected
under the General Paper company.
This concern, which was known as the
trust, went out of business last May
as the result of an Injunction suit
brought at st. Paul by the federal gov
eminent. The company refused 20
show Its books and when ordered to
do SO by the court agreed to accept
Judgment and go out of business.
The theory of the Chicago paper
broker is that this error will not be
made second time and that no one
firm will be allowed to handle the out
put of all the mills in the combine. 1t
Is pointed out that practically the
same result can be obtained by an
association if the members adhere to
the agreement.

Parsons carried twenty-five of the

BY OVERWHELMING VOTE.
voIjva Elected Leader by People. Of
Zion City, .-'--

Chicago, Sept. 2O-Wilbur Glenn
Voliva has been elected by the people
of Zion City as their leader by the
overwhelming vote of 1911 to 6: for
his opponent, A. E. Bills. The cleo
ton was held under the order of
Judge Lands of the United States
district court, who was asked some
time ago to settle the controversy be-
tween John Alexander Dowie, founder
of the church, and Voliva, as to who
should have control of Zion City. @
The action of the Zionists practically
makes John Alexander Dowie an out
cast from the religious organization
which he established several years
ago and which now has grown to large
proportions. Dowie, who is in feeble
health, refused to recognize the au-
thority of the court in ordering the
election and did not present himself
as a candidate.
Out of the total vote of 1917 cast
about half of them were by the women
of Zion City, who went to the polls
singing hymns, cast their votes and
then knelt in prayer at the door of the
voting booth.
