IT'S DIFFERENT
Since Coffee Left.

A Wisconsin lady says Of coffee:
From childhood I had been used to
drinking coffee. and grew very fond of
it,
when in course of time began to
suffer from stomach and bowel troubles
with accompanying headaches, pains in
the chest and loss of appetite and flesh,
I was slow to supect that coffee was the
cause. My sister. VINO had used an :
knew the virtues of Postum Food COT
fee, persuaded me to try it. I gave up
the old kind of coffee with reluctance,
thinking that would never find a hot
table drink that I would relish so well.
Il was therefore most agreeably sur
prised to discover that Postum when
properly made-thoroughly boiled, was
so very palatable. 1t proved 10 be a
rich, creamy, delicious beverage, sooth-
ing and quoting to the nerves and
healthily invigOrating. I also found it
nutritious, as the old kind of coffee
never was.
Postum began to help me from the
very beginning, and I was thus encour-
aged to continue its use, until 1 am
happy to say, it landed me safely in
MELVILLE where have been for three
years and where I propose to remain.
find it a glorious and happy place to be
in.
Il never before had such good health
as 1 have now. No trace Of my former
ailments remain, I have put on weight
until I am almost 'heshy' and my COM
plexion has resumed the bloom Of my
girlhood days.
MY mother lost her life (as can see
now through coffee drinking. Her all
ments were precisely the same as mine
were. but no one suspected at that time
that they were due to coffee, and she
continued to use it. her health growing
steadily worse and worse till death put
an end to her sufferings- If I had only
known then what I do now, she might
be living to this day.
MY father was also great coffee
drinker and tobacco user as well. and.
am sorry to say, too fond Of liquor He
lives with me and 7 have taught him to
drink Postum. with the result that he
uses much less tobacco and has entire

EXPORT GRAIN SITUATION.
Looks as Though Eastern and Western
Lines Will Get Together.

Chicago, Feb. 12.=There was a
great clearing up of the export grain
rate situation in Chicago al a meeting
between officials of the New York Cen
trail lines and a committee composed
of some of the largest grain operators
of the board of trade, which was held
here Saturday.
A conference will be held between
the eastern and western lines early
next week at which a definite PROPOSE
ton will be presented. basis for the
working out of a division of the neces-
sary rate between the Missouri river
and the seaboard satisfactory to Chi
cago. The eastern lines are prepared
to make some concessions, and they
are even prepared to submit the whole
proposition to arbitration, should an
agreement with the western lines
prove to be impossible.
The board of trade interests were
able to make a telling argument with
the eastern lines on account of Ger
tain practices in regard to loading
charges. which the eastern lines would
rather not have argued in public. To
a large extent the same practices per-
tain to the western lines on the Mis-
souri, river in regard to a more or less
fictitious elevation charge. so that the
skirts of neither of the railroad in
terests are entirely clear. The west
ern roads probably will not refuse to
enter the conference with the eastern
lines. and it is confidently believed by
the grain men that either a through
rate of % cents hundred. from the
river to the sea board, will be an
nounced next week; or. if not that, the
same result will be obtained through
com bination of specific rates into and
out OF Chicago.
The board of trade men were able
to get from the representatives of the
New York Central lines a promise that
they would make a reduction in their
rate on export corn from Chicago to
the Atlantic and, according to the
plans which were discussed. that re-
duction probably will be made ap-
plcable on all corn. whether original
| ing on the Missouri river or east.

Gossip and Matters of Interest

Agitation, legal enactments, publicity
and almost universal sentiment against
trusts and combinations. the gigantic
proportions of the problems involved,
and every other obstacle which has
arisen, seem powerless to check the
steady progress which the railroad sys-
TENS of the United States are making
toward unification, under the control of
a few men.
The Northern Securities decision
knocked out the holding company meth
cd of combining in the one case direct
" involved, but there are other hold
ing companies, of which the Rock ISL
and is the most conspicuous example,
which have not been disturbed. The
most frequently used method of combi-
natlon, however, is the ownership by
one railroad company of the stocks of
other roads, paid for either by an en-
larged issue OF stock, or by the ennis
sion OF collateral bonds secured by the
purchased stocks OF the annexed COM
pany. That this method of combining
IS sflll going on is illustrated by the
recently reported purchase, by the Har-
rlman interests, of a large amount of
Illinois Central stock, with the purpose,
1t is said, of taking care of it as the
other Union Pacific purchases have been
taken care of. There is some question,
however, as to the method to be adopted
in this case. The story has come from
New York that holding company is to
issue bonds in exchange for the stock of
the Union Pacific company, and, posi-
bly, also for the Illinois Central COM
pany. 1t seems that the manner of f.
nancing the deal has not been fully de-
ciSed.
