The creation of General Advertising
Department for the New York Central
Lines, and the placing in charge OF that
department the veteran railroad adver-
tiser, George I'll. Daniels, who has. been
for nearly twenty years the General alas fas1
Railroad, marks an era In the history OF
advertising in America. !,
The New York Central Lines are the
first great system to create an advertls'
ing department which covers all the rail-
WAYS in their system, and the far-reachlng
consequences OF such movement cannos
be appreciated at first sight, but this &C.
ton on the part of the management OF
these lines emphasizes the value of adver-
Using generally, and forces the conclu.
sion of a strong belief in the efficacy OF
railroad advertising In particular.
Some idea of the Importance, OF TINS
new department can be had when 1t is
understood that it will control the gen.
eral advertising in America and in foreign
countries of the New York Central, Dos
ton and Albany, Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern. Michigan Central, Cleveland,
Cincinnati Chicago and st. LOUIS. Rut-
land, and Lake Erie and Western railways
and their leased lines, having their west,
ern terminals at Chicago, st. Louis and
Cincinnati, and their eastern terminals at
New York, Boston and Montreal, and EN-
bracinp more than twelve thousand miles
of the best equipped railways in the world.
Mr.. Daniels has for mary years been
firm believer in newspaper and magazine
advertising, and, therefore, the organlza-
ton of the General Advertising Depart
ment of the New York Central Lines IS
Of importance to every legitimate puDlIlca-
ton in America, daily, weekly or monIhly.
In an address before the New York
State Press Association few years ago,
Mr.. Daniels made the point that the rail-
road is the advance agent OF commerce.
and that railway advertising had been or
immense value to American manutac-
turers in calling the attention OF the
whole world to the excellent work done
bv our inventors and mechanics, as Illus
tTated in the Empire State Express, the
Twentieth Century Limited, and other
great trains that connect the east with the
west; the average foreigner arguing tnat
the men who are able to turn out such
machines must be able to build anything,
and that the farm machinery, and all kinds
Of industrial machinery made in Amer
lea, must be of the very best quality. Rail
road advertising has certainly. been the
means of bringing thousands of men here
from foreign countries to investigate our
manufactures and has wonderfully IN
creased our foreign commerce.
Every legitimate newspaper and maya
zine publication in America will have
direct interest in the General Advertising
Department of the New York Central
LINES, and every advertising agent on the
continent will take a new lease OF lite
because of this endorsement of the value
of advertising.

SCIENTIFIC SPECIALS.

Two German scientists announce the
discovery of new anaesthetic having
all the virtues of cocaine without the
latter's secondary i'll effects. The new
substance is called 'allypine." 1t
deadens pain by local application, and
does not contain poison.
The effect of ultraviolet rays Of
light on some kinds of glass is strik-
ingly shown at high attitudes. At a
mountain station of the Canadian Pa
cific railway-5,000 or 5000 feet high
green glass telephone insulators have
changed to brilliant purple.
Many observations have convinced
Mabel S. Nelson, a British psychol-
ogist, that men hear better than wom-
en-, and that both men and women
hear farther with the right than the
left ear. Men are clearly superior in
recognizing blue, and women are pos
sibly superior in recognizing yellow.

have been but few cases Of its kind
before, and they have been caused by
whisky or tobacco. Leach has never
used either, but has been a great cof-
fee drinker, and the specialists have
decided that the case has been caused
by this. Leach stated himself that
for several years he had drank three
cups of coffee for breakfast, two at
noon and one at night. According to
the records of the specialists of this
country this is the first case ever
caused by the use Of coffee.
The nerve is ruined beyond aid and
his case is incurable. The fact that
makes the case queer one is that the
sight forward has been lost and the
side sight has been retained. Accord
ing to the doctors statement, the
young man will have to give up cof-
fee or the rest of his sight will fol-
low and the entire nerve be ruined

UNCONSCIOUS POISONING.
How It often Happens from Coffee

81 had no idea," writes a Duluth
man, chat it was the coffee had been
drinking all my life that was respon-
sible for the headaches which were
growing upon me, for the dyspepsia
that no medicines would relieve, and
for the acute nervousness which I'M
fitted me not only for work but also
for the most ordinary social functions.
But at last the truth dawned upon
me and forthwith babe the harmful
beverage a prompt farewell, ordered
in some Postum, and began to use it.
The good effects of the new food
drink were apparent within very
few days. My headaches grew less
frequent, and decreased in violence,
my stomach grew strong and able to
digest my food without distress Of
any kind, my nervousness has gone,
and l am able to enjoy life with my
neighbors and sleep soundly o'nights.
My physical strength and nerve pow
er have increased so much that
can do double the work I used to do,
and feel no undue fatigue afterwards.
"This improvement set in just as
soon as the old coffee poison had so
worked out of my system as to allow
the food elements in the Postum to
get a hold to build me up again.

and Postum alone that did all this,

Some people question the statements
that coffee hurts the delicate nerves
of the body. Personal experience with
thousands proves the general state
ment true and physicians have records
of great numbers of cases that add to
the testimony.
The following is from the Rockford,
ILL.,, Register Gazette:
DR.. William Langhorst Of Aurora
has been treating one of the queerest
cases of lost eyesight ever in history.
The patient is O. A. Leach of Beach
county, and in the last four months he
had doctored with all of the specialists
about the country and has at last re-
turned home with the fact impressed
on his mind that his case is incurable.
A portion Of the optic nerve has
been ruined, rendering his sight so
limited that he is unable to see any
thing before him, but he can see plain
" anything at the side Of him. There

didn't we fairly whizz by the poles, and
the audience looked like panorama.
Pa got the pole and kept it, and we
went around three times, and found the
female chariot ahead of us, cause pa had
gone around twice to her once. She
turned out little right by the band
stand. and pa run his team right inside
her chariot and caught her wheel, and
when he yelled to his team, her cart,
team, and all were thrown right into the
band, which scattered over the backs
of the seats. The horses were all
mixed W with the instruments, and the
female driver was thrown into the air
and came down in sitting position
right into the bass drum. She went
right through the sheepskin, so her
head and hands and feet were all of
her that remained outside the drum.
She yelled for help, and the circus
hands rolled the drum, with her in it.,
into the dressing-room, where they had
to cut the sides of the drum with an ak,
to get her out, while others caught her
horses, and pulled the chariot out of the
band, and the music stopped; but pa
went on forever.
He went around six times, yelling like
an Indian at green corn dance, and
when he thought it was time to let up,
because he had missed the other char
lot, he pulled so hard he broke the lines
on the two inside horses, and then it was
runaway for sure, and the audience
stood up on the seats and yelled, and
women tainted.
Finally the circus hands grabbed some
hurdles, and threw them across the
track, near the main entrance, and when
we came around the last time, two of

LOST EYESICHT
Through Coffee Drinking

Let it be remembered that the eyes

stomach in another, while in others it
may be kidneys, heart, bowels or. gem
