DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread TO eat their
meals. although actually hungry near
ly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called
appetite that should guide us as to
what the system needs at any time
and can digest.
But we get in a hurry, swallow our
food very much as we shovel coal into
the furnace. and our sense of appetite
becomes unnatural and perverted.
Then we eat the wrong kind of food
or eat too much, and there you are
indigestion and its accompanying
miseries.
A Phila lady said, the other day:
my husband and / have been sick
and nervous for 10 or 20 years from
drinking coffee-feverish indigestion,
totally unfit. good part of the time.

dreaded to eat our meals.
I'VE tried doctors and patent medi-
cines that counted up into hundreds of
dollars. with little if any benefit.

some according to directions, with sur

have not used any coffee since.

left us and we feel better every way

THE USEFUL GASOLINE CAN.
Plays important Part In Building
Where Wood Is Scarce.

In the sparsely settled districts OF
the arid southwest, wher> gasoline Is
the mainstay as fuel in cooking, and
where wood is scarce and dear, the
empty five-eallon can in which the
liquid is sold has come to have con-
siderable vogue as building material.

/. &E. ROAD In FINANCIAL TROUBLE
Foreclosure Suit Started. and Re-
ceiYer in Charge.

A suit was started on September 3,
to foreclose a mortgage held by
plaintiff to secure the payment of
the bonded Indebtedness and interest
coupons. The complaint sets forth
that on the 1st of July. 1904. the |. 4
+. Co. executed mortgage in favor
of plaintiff to secure the payment of
500 bonds of $1,000 each. Since the
execution of the mortgage, and by
virtue of its terms, they issued 800
bonds, of the denomination of $1,000
each, with interest coupons attached,
which bonds and coupons are now
outstanding. On the 18th of Febru-
airy, 1907, Joseph Bluxome was the
owner of these bonds and coupons,
and made written demand on the
plaintiff corporation for the payment
of certain interest coupons, and the
plaintiff made demand upon the
railroad company for the payment
thereof, and the company has failed
and neglected to pay the same.
Wherefore plaintiff elects to declare
both principal and interest due and
payable. 1t is further alleged that
the defendant is insolvent, and has
not sufficient property to pay its
debts, and that it would be to the de-
triment of the parties in interest for
the company to remain in control of
the property pending the determi-
nation of this action. There are also
some unsecured creditors. Judgment
is asked for $3.50, 600 with interest, for
the expenses of trustee. costs of suit
and counsel, fees and that the real aud
personal property be sold, and for the
appointment of receiver in the
meantime
John Raggio of Stockton was ap-
pointed receiver to take charge of the
business, and actually assumed the
control shortly thereafter.
The road has been In operation for
little more than two years. 1t was
opened for traffic on July 4. 1908. il

extremely high freight and passenger

1t is reported that the receiver will
endeavor to cut down the expense a
much as possible, consistent Will
efficiency. OF course the road vii
continue to be operated. That it vii
change hands as the outcome of tn
suit is also likely. In some quarter
it is believed that the foreclosure will

of the road to the timber belt, som
twenty-five miles east of the presen
terminus.
