A SMALL SECRET.
Couldn't Understand che Taatc OF
His Customers.


Two men were discussing the various
food products now being supplied in
such variety and abundance.
One, a grocer, said, Il frequently
try package or SO Of any certain ar
tlcle before Offering it TO my trade and
in thar way sometimes form different
idea than my customers have.
For instance, | thought would try
some Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for it.
At breakfast | didn't like it and supper
proved the same. SO | naturally con
cluded that my taste was different from
that Of the customers who bought it
right along.
Il day or two after. | waited on a
lady who was buying a 25c package
and told her couldn't understand how
one could fancy the taste of Postum.
~ know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler on
the stove for just fifteen minutes, and
ten minutes Of that time 1t simmered,
and perhaps five minutes it boiled, now
If you will have 1t left to boil full fif
teen minutes after it commences 10

never abandon it, particularly when
you see the great gain in health. Well.
l took another trial and sure enough
l joined the Postum army for good, and
life seems worth living since | have
gotten rid Of my old time stomach and
kidney troubles
Postum is no sort Of medicine, but
pure liquid food, and this, together
with a relief from coffee, worked the
change. There's Reason"

Thousands Of Dollars.
The $4,000 which John W. Gates is
said TO have won on Ncaluu the other

some winnings which have been gathered
in 10y hcttors on The English Derby.
Sir Joseph Hawley ON three occasions
won from 10000 to 100000, viz: ON
Teddington in 1851 Musjid in 1889 and

as much on Blue Gown in 1869 had he
not hcdged.
man On the Derby is said by BailY's
Magazine to have gone to Mr.. Naylor on
Macaroni in 1868, but the amount is
not stated. Mr.. Chaplin won a larger
amount on Hermit in 1867, but did not
get half of it,
Mr.. Merry is said to have won f10O-
600 on Thormanby, but the real amount
was tTO.OOO.

Barbarian was beaten by Daniel
O'Rourke in 1852 made a difference Of

itching was so severe that | would

Rates from New York to Spokane are
now made by adding TO the rate 10 Port

those ports TO Spokane. The rates from
Chicago TO Spokane in most cases are
the same as from New York The rail-
roads are confronted with the task OF
justifylng these rates before the Inter-
state Commerce commission. their areu-
ment being that they are forced 10 meet

Two years ago The commission ruled
against the railroads In a similar case
brought by the business men OF Denver
who protested against a lower rate from
New York 10 San Francisco than 20 Den

said:
Surely a rate which pays expenses for
$500 mile haul will yield reasonable
profits for haul not much over half thar

dered is for the cheapest and easiest half
of the total haul"
