room because of nervousness.

she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum Food Coffee, and it is
such a comfort to have something we
can enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would al
low the children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for
children as well as for older ones, and
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact.

cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted sc fiat that | was in despair
but determined to give it one more
trial. This time we followed the di-
rections and boiled it fifteen minutes
after the boiling began. 1t was a de-

HOW HE BROKE A RECORD.
Took Last Jump from Forgotten Rub
Der Home Plate.

Billy Powell, greatest hurdler the
west has produced, was referring to
his college days on the Berkeley
track.
There were five In the race. I
drew the extreme outside lane,
which gave me a bad finish stretch.
But / got a peach of a start, swept
the curve like a yacht on her beam
ends and came down the straight
taking the jumps in beautiful style.
l felt | had a varsity record in me
at that clip, and l threw all my
power into the final strides. Spring
ing for the ninth hurdle l fairly
flew through the air, and, dashing
to the finish, broke the tape, the
worlds record for the low hurdles,
for the 220-dash, and for the run
ming broad jump, the time being
81 fiat, and my last jump over two
hurdles at once, clearing 43 feet and
some inches.
"Whew!" exclaimed Ollie Snedigar,
why weren't the records ever al
lowed?"
WELL" continued Powell, when
they went to measure that leap,
Col. Edwards started to shove his
cane in, to indicate my foremost spike
mark, and the stick jumped out of his
hand. They scraped the short grass
away and found a solid rubber home

Mississippi
Nems
Combine at an End.

1t is reported that I. C. Enochs and
the interests represented by him, which
participated in the various consolida-
lions following the advent of the Good
years in the lumber business in Missis-
sippi, have withdrawn their interests
from the consolidation, which is now
known as the Great Southern Lumber
Company.
The interests represented oy Mr..
Enochs are a very considerable part of
the Goodyear lands in Mississippi, but
without them the Great Southern Lum-
Der Company will still be the biggest
lumber concern in the world. To what
extent the Goodyears will lose by not
having the Enochs interests associated
with them in their Mississippi deal is a
matter for speculation.
