bed me Of my appetite for breakfast.
Il always had trouble with dyspepsia
while I used it. | was told by physi-
ach, and came to believe there was no
help for me. Two years ago I quit the
use Of coffee and began to use Postum
Food Coffee. At first l missed the

I'm a few days forgot all about my
coffee in the satisfaction derived
from Postum, and soon found that my
appetite returned. the bilious condi-
tion and dyspepsia disappeared. so
that now I am proud to say that at the
age of seventy-five years I enjoy my
food as well as when young and all my
dyspeptic symptoms and stomach trou-
bles have gone.

that is to make ii exactly according to

Boiler Makers
On Monday There will be a
Settlement or an Exten-
sion.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 10-Accord-
ing TO the boilermakers the latest de-
velopments in the strike on the Pacific
division tonight convey the assurance
that there will be no extension to the
eastern roads i'm which Hartman is in
terested at least until Monday. The
Southern Pacific officials who have
been conducting negotiations in behalf
of the company are said to have with
drawn their ultinmatum requiring the
men to return to work on Tuesday un-
der penalty Of dismissal and in return
President Payne OF the boilermakers
will hold in allegiance until Monday a
telegram requesting Grand President
Dunn of the boilermakers to call out
all the men on the Hartman lines. On
Monday il is promised that the COM
pany will either return a fresh answer
to the demand for the removal of
Foreman Carter or put into effect an
order to return to work under penalty
OF dismissal
Mr.. Payne and his associates regard
the concessions on the part of the COM
panys representatives as q move to
gain time for further consultation with
line. The ultimatum of the company
was delivered but a few hours before
by III. J. Small general superintendent
of motive power. Mr.. Small was a
board his private car at the depot pre-
pairing to leave the city when Mr..
Payne sought him for a final Interview
to acquaint him with the intention to
extend the strike.
Small was shown a telegram receiv-
ed from Dunn at Kansas City last
night and he was informed that the
ultimatum received earlier in the day
left the boilermakers no lternative
other than request an extension of the
strike.
Small agreed to withdraw his ulti-
matun II Payne would delay his re-
ply to Dunn until Monday. In the
hope that some ground for settlement
might be found in the interim an a.
greement to this effect was finally
reached.
