Retaining he Sahara Desert.

As Il result of recent scientific inves-
LEGATIONS it may be possible to revise our
ideas of the barrenness of the Sahara
desert. since it has been found by boring
that there are numerous springs which
rise to the surface and make possible
system of irrigation. In the territory
40 the south of Algeria Il government ir-
rigation survey has been at work making
a series of deep test borings, some of
which are as deep as 2O0O feet. In this
way considerable water has been en-
eouutered. and in certain cases already
twice the usual amount of water has
been made available for the palm groves.

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in a way so sim
pie and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.

years" she says, land have suffered
untold agony. When 1 first began to
have them 1 weighed 40 pounds, but
they brought me down to 40. l went
to many doctors and they gave me only
temporary relief. So l suffered on, till
one day in 1904, woman doctor told
me to drink Postum Food Coffee. She
said l looked like l was coffee poison

I gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and am still gaining, but not so
fast as at first My headaches began
to leave me after l had used Postum
about two weeks-long enough 1 expect
to get the coffee poison out of my sys-

Now that a few months have passed
since began to use Postum Food COT

what q neuralgia headache is like any

that cured me. Before l used Postum

SECOND PASTURE.
Editors of TRADE" papers
known as grocers' papers.

Remember, we don't put the
brand on all, by any means. Only
those that require it. These
members of the tribe have de-
manded that we carry advertis-
ing in their papers and when we
do not consider it advisable they
institute campaign of vitupera-
ton and SANDER, printing from
time to time manufactured slurs
on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When
they go far enough we set our
legal force atWork and hale them
to the judge to answer. If the
pace has been hot enough to
throw some of these "cattle" over
on their backs, feet tied and bel
lowing" do you think we should
be blamed? They gambol around
with tails held high and jump
stiff legged with a very "cocky"
air while they have full range,
but when the rope is thrown over
them Its different"
Should we unite them because
they bleat soft and low? Or
should we put the iron on, so
that people will know the brand?
Let's keep them in this pasture,
anyhow.

THIRD PASTURE.

Now we come to a frisky lot,
the Labor Union" editors. You
know down in Texas a weed call
ed Loco" is sometimes eaten by
a steer and produces derange-
ment of the brain that makes the
steer "batty" or crazy. Many of
these editors are ''Locoed" from
hate of anyone who will not In
stantly obey the demands" of a
labor union and it Is the univer-
sal habit Of such writer's to go
straight into system Of person
al vilification, manufacturing
any sort of falsehood through
which to vent their spleen. We
assert that the common citizen
has a right to live and breathe
air without asking permission of
the labor trust and this has
brought down on us the hate of
these editors. When they go far
enough with their libels, is 1t
harsh for us to get judgments
against them and have our law
yers watch for a chance to attach
money due them from others?
(For they are usually irrespon-
sible.)
Keep your eye out for the "Lo-
coed" editor.

GRAIN MEN RESTRAINED.
Superior Commission Cannot Inspect 1tas-
ca and Terminal Cargoes Until Set
Element of Globe Case.

SUPERIOR, Wis. April 17.-United
States Marshal Lewiston of Madison
served copies of the recent injunction is
sued against the Wisconsin Grain com
mission Monday. The injunction,
which went into effect yesterday, pre-
vents the commission and its agents
from interfering with the handling of
any grain at the Itasca and Terminal
elevators. 1t practically covers the
same scope as the injunction which was
secured by the Globe Elevator company
some months ago, and illustrates the at
tempts of the commission to inspect out
going cargoes. 1t is expected that the
injunction will remain in force until Il
final determination of the Globe case
is reached and upon which will ultimate
ly depend the constitutionality of the
WISCONSIN grain law.

Now let all these choice specimens
take notice
We will deposit one thousand or fifty
thousand dollars to be covered by
like amount from them, or any one Of
them, and if there was ever one ounce
of old bread or any other Ingredient
different than our selected wheat and

in the making Of Grape-Nuts, we will
lose the money.
Our pure food factories are open at
all times to visitors, and thousands pass
through each month, inspecting every

factories are so clean that one could,
with good relish, eat a meal from the

of Michigan, and according to the state
labor reports, are the highest paid in

These great loaves are sliced by ma

to long low heat and the starch which
