IN II TEN YEARS.
An Unconscious Slave to Coffee

II had not the slightest idea that
coffee was the cause of my continued

was also the victim of severe head
aches, and misera BILE al the time. FL
nally 1t occurred to me that coffee was
the real cause of my trouble.
81 therefore procured a package of
Postum Food Coffee and began it's use
in place of coffee. At first did not
like it, but soon discovered that had
not made it properly. When 1t is
boiled long enough, it has a delicious
Java coffee taste, a>beautiful, deep rich
brown color, and altogether it makes a
charming beverage.
II soon grew very fond of it; in fact,
1 liked it better than did the old cof-
fee My health improved and this
gradually increased. The bowels re-
sumed their natural functions /and the
old dizzy feeling disappeared entirely;
also the headaches.
"This happy change in health fixed
my mind, permanently and forever,
never under any circumstances, to go
back to drug that had held me a
slave for ten long years. A curious
thing about all this is that people do
not realize the cause of their troubles.
They go on year after year, just as I
had, in drugging themselves with
something that holds them in a condi-
ton of sickness and they don't seem
TO understand what it is that causes
the trouble. II such people would
leave off Coffee and use Postum Food
Coffee. the trial would tell its own

GAY OWES AN ISLAND
GAINS POSSESSION OF LANAI IN
HAWAII.
Action TO Enjoin Governor from
Exchanging Public Lands Is De-
MED by Territorial Court-Mis-

The Territorial Supreme Court in Hon
olulu has decided that Governor Carter
may exchange Lanai lands for other lands.
Senator McCandlass, who secured the in
junction preventing the transfer of the
properties, win appeal the case to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
Governor Carter completed the exchange
of government lands in the Island of
Lanai the instant that the decision was
rendered and deeds were passed immedi-
ately. The entire Island of Lanai now
belongs to Charles Gay. 1t is stated that
the action of Governor Carter in exchang-
ing the lands, which has met with much
opposition, was approved by President
Roosevelt in letter written on Oct. 10.
The Island of Lanai was owned conformity
by the government and Charles Gay, the
former owning 45.69O acres and Gay 49,
600 acres. 1t having been suggested that
an attempt was being made 20 consolidate
the interests Of Gay and the government
for the purpose of transferring the whole
island to the japanese government, an
effort was made by Senator l.. l.. Nc
Candless and others to obtain an injunc-
ton against the sale of government lands,
and was sued for in court.

Great Drifts Block Traffic and Much
Suffering Is Reported.
The Northwest is a prolific section of
our great republic. For several years the
summers have produced ord-breaking
crops and last seasons yield is still large
ly in the hands of the farmers for the
reason that the railroads have been I'M
able to handle it. In the winter it is
not question of harvesting wheat but
of digging out of the snow. Last week
practically all traffic was stopped in the
Northwest and so far the conditions have
not changed to any appreciate extent.
For several days not a train was NOV
ing west of Grand Forks, n. D., and the
500 line was out of business. The drifts
which were piled up were the biggest
ever seen, being in some places higher
than an ordinary house. In many places
farmers were compelled to let themselves
down from their second-story windows by
ropes in order to begin the digging of
paths to their stock barns, the snow
having drifted above the doors and win
dows of the first stories of their homes.
When the blizzard ragged more than one
farmer was lost In trying to make his
way from house to barn and was frozen
to death. The cautious ones did not ven
ture out into the binding storm withous
ropes attached to their waists by means
of which they could find their way back
to warmth and comfort All over Min
nesota, North Dakota and other States
trains were stalled for days, the tracks in
many places being under eight feet of
snow

NEW y0RK

Irregular weather conditions make for
numerous cross currents in retail trade
but there is evidence of enlargement ip
some lines of spring business notably cot
ton goods, demand for which is limited
only by capacity of mills, wholesalers or
jobbers to deliver. In the iron and steel
trade conditions vary with the material
and sections reported, so far as future
business is concerned. The receding Of
the waters has made for a resumption of
trade and industrial activities in the
Ohio valley. Colder weather and clear
ance sales have stimulated trade East
and North. In the Northwest trade, traffic
and contraction feel the effects of heavy
snowfalls, coming on top of an acute
car shortage, though that section appears
to be gradually winning out, except i'm
parts of the Dakotas There is little.
change to be noted in crop reports. The,
cold weather of last week has been sue
ceeded by rains or snow, and the wheat
belt has had better snow covering than
at any previous time this winter.-Brad-.

Notwithstanding insanity

That there is something insane in the
modern situation of business which en-
ables capitalists to work up hundreds of
millions in fortunes while they are spend
ing their tine, travelling or hunting, or
other leisure class sports. is the frank
statement made by Dr. Felix Adler before
the Ethical Culture Society of New York
City. He insists that there is no due pro-
portion between the wealth and the needs
nor between the wealth and the deserts.
The men who, through the commercial
spirit of the day hire child labor or who
sit down and devise ways of cheating
their neighbors by adulterating food so
as to enrich themselves, he declared to
be virtually insane persons who should
be shut up in sanitarums until they can
be cured. He admitted that the so-called
captains of industry had carried out great
works, such as railroad building, but that
they had rendered these services only for
their personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. DIR. Adler
does not think that philanthropy solves
the problem of wealth acquired through
foul mears, but in spite of all this, he
does not regard himself as socialist.
