ROMANTIC DEvONSHIRE.
The Land Made Famous by PhiIpctts'
Novels.

Philpotts has made us familiar with
romantic Devonshire. in his fascinating
novels. The River" Children of the
Mist etc. The characters are very
human; the people there drink coffee
with the same results as elsewhere. A
writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill,
Bideford, North Devon, states:
For 80 years l drank coffee for
breakfast and dinner but some years
ago found that it was producing indi-
geStion and heartburn, and was max
ing me restless at night. These symp
toms were followed by brain fag and
sluggish mental condition.
When l realized this, made up my
mind to quit drinking coffee and
having read OF Postum. concluded to
try it. l had it carefully made, accord
ing to directions, and found to my
agreeable surprise at the end of a
week. that l no longer suffered from
either indigestion, heartburn, or brain
fag. and that could drink it at night
and secure restful and refreshing
sleep.
Since that time we have entirely
coffee, growing fonder and fonder of
Postum as time goes on. My digestive
organs certainly do their work much
better now than before, a result due
to Postum Food Coffee, am satisfied.
"As table beverage we find (for all
the members Of my family use it, that
when properly made it Is most refresh
ing and agreeable, Of delicious flavor
and aroma. Vigilance is. however.
necessary to secure this, for unless the
servants are watched they are likely
to neglect the thorough boiling which

goodness from the cereal" Name given

BREAK CANAL RECORD.
Northern Pacific Engineers Move
More Material During October
Than Government Work
ers on Isthmus.

crS on lSlnMWS.
Much has been said recently as
to what is being done by the gov
ernment on the Isthmus of Pana-
ma in the construction of the
canal, and in an article which ap-
peared a short time ago in the
Literary Digest under the cap
ton, "Outdoing expectations at
Panama, the writer referred,
with a good deal of proper pride.
to the fact that 1868, 729 cubic
yards Of material had been moved
during the month of October.
This was, without doubt, a credit
to American engineering ability
and methods, and while the writ
er of the article looked upon it as
representing a stupendous tast
and an unusual amount Of exca-
vation, it is not so if one stops to
measure the feat by simular feats
performed on some American rail
ways in these days of grade revi-
sion and general reconstruction.
I The reader need not go far from
home to learn that during exact
ly the same period the Northern
Pacific railway moved 3,432, 928
cubic yards Of material - almost
double that moved by the Pana-
ma canal engineers -i in new work
now under way on that great
system.
While this work was going on
the usual heavy freight and pas
senger traffic was moved without
any serious inconvenience from
this cause. The figures afford an
extremely interesting comparison
and show at a single glance the
tremendous volume of work be-
ing done by the Northern. Pacific
in improving it's facilities to meet
the new conditions.
This work is not confined to
any one state, but includes the
; entire Northern Pacific country
in the states of Wisconsin, Mimi
esota, North Dakota, Montana,
Idaho, Washington and Oregon
from the Great Lakes to Puget
Sound and the Pacific ocean and
includes double tracking, recon
struction Of single. track to con-
form to new and easier grades
and curvatures, replacing old
bridges with new and more sub
stantial ones Of steele and con.
crete, charging yards, new ter
minal facilities, etc.
Another item Of interest is the
; fact that the Northern Pacific
! railway is carrying over portions
Of it's single track main line as
; heavy a tonnage as is handled by
many Of the railways east o1
Chicago over their double tracl
lines. Minneapolis Tribune.
