Kansas City. Mo, April 6.@The
Kansas City, Mexico & Orient railroad
will use the proposed new union pas

yesterday if the Orient had been in

THAT will be all right" he i
franchise given the Kansas City

ties to all railroad companies, and If
any other inher1tS the Belt

to extend its facilities to any railroad
that may want to come in"

JOE'S LUCK
Drew a Prize in Matrimonial Lottery

Before we were married my nus
band was a coffee drinker and subject
to severe attacks OF sick headache.
which interfered with his duties as
sup't of a large factory writes a
young Mass. matron.
Il had made up my mind that coffee
was at least partly to blame, and that
I could cure him after marriage by the
use Of Postum Food Coffee.
When I told my younger sister
about it. she laughed and said. Just
wait and seei After you are married
you'll find that Joe will have his coffee
anyway
II proceeded gradually. first elimi-
mating by degrees the pastry n
meals were always dainty served and
appetizing he began to have faith in
his wife's ability as a cook.
Meantime his headaches became
less frequent, but did not cease alto
gether. When the time was ripe and I
proposed to use Postum Food Coffee he
consented upon the promise that he
should have the old kin Of coffee at
his Sunday breakfast He grew fond
of the new fOOd drink however. and
noted that after drinking the coffee on
Sundays he suffered from unsteady
nerves and a dull heavy feeling that he
never had on the days when he drank
Postum. The result was tina at last
ha said, Z would rather have the Pos
tim Food Coffee Sunday morning, too,
If you don't mind, my dear The old
kind makes me feel like q foo all day
You may imagine how ready I was to
fail in with this suggestion TIL old
kind of coffee has been banished from
our table for more han ? years now;
Joe's headaches are only a memory
and he always has steaey nerves and a
clear brain to meet the exacting de-
mands of his business. on O sum
mer days he relishes q glass of clear,
cold Postum with a squeeze of lemon,
