Health Coffee" is really the closest
coffee imitation ever Yet produced.
This, this finest coffee substitute ever
made, has been recently been produce
eu by DR.. Shoop, Of Racine, Wisconsin.
Not grain of real coffee in it either.
Health Coffee is made from pure toast
cereals, malt, nuts, etc. Really, it
would fool an expert-who might
drink it for coffee. No twenty or
thirty minutes boiling. "Made in
minute" says the doctor Bower &
Stevenson.

Lucy F., beloved wife of H. II.
Huffman, died at $50 O'Clock D.
m, on February 2lst, 1908, after
an illness of about ten DAYS, of
Pneumonia, aged 25 years, 3
months and 5 days.
Lucy Ellen Garrett was born
November 16, 1882, at Nassau.
now the town of Gibson. Keokuk
county, Iowa. When five years
of age she came to Colorado with
her parents, who had homestead
ed in Arapahoe county. She
continued to live on the home
stead with them until 1894. when
they moved to Monument, FL
Paso county, Colorado, where
they resided until 1900, moving
from there to Fort Collins, Colo
RADIO. 1t was at this last place
she was married to Fl. Ii. Huff
man on Christmas day, 1901.
After their marriage they re-
moved to Denver, living there
until 1908, when they returned
to Windsor and from there came
to Sedgwiclscounty in the spring
of 1906.
Of this union three children
were born, Evelyn aged ) years;
Mabel who has gone on before,
having died of pneumonia two
years ago, and Bertha aged three
months.
Death came like a peaceful
sleep to tired child, and she
passed away with scarcely a
struggle to let the anxious
watchers at her bedside know
that she was passing into the
great beyond.
She joined the Methodist
Episcopal church when quite
young, aud since that time has
been a faithful, consistent and ac-
tive christian worker, and at the
time Of her death was a steward
ess in the church. That she was
beloved by all who knew her was
displayed by the large concourse
that followed her to her last rest
ing place in the Reservation GEM
etery, beside little Mabel.
She leaves to mourn her loss
beside her husband and two lit
tie daughters, her father and
mother, three sisters, three
brothers as well as other rela
tives and hosts of friends, who
deeply sympathize with him in
his bereavement.

The growth Of city is directly de-
pendent on the efficiency of the street
railway system. The growth of Salt
Lake. with its large blocks. its wide
streets and its immense area, is prob
ably more directly dependent on its
street railway system than is any other
city.
Two years ago the street railway
system of Salt Lake was not counted
among the public service institutions of
which the city was proud. 1t was
small. it did not cover the area, the
cars were out of date and often out of
service Today Salt Lake has better
street railway service and more miles
of street railway, in proportion to the
population. than most Of the cities or
the country.
Up to the Hartman Standard.
Since the street railway system of
Salt Lake was purchased by E II.
Hartman earnest and successful eff
forts have brought il up to the stanG-
ard of other Hartman enterprises
New cars have been purchased. miles
Of new track have been laid, and the
service has been more efficient and
more frequent. AS a direct result, the
new additions and subdivisions of the
city. notably Federal Heights. New
house Park. Laurelhurst, Westminster
Heights and Poplar Grove. are being
built up and are becoming the most
popular resi- IentiaI sections of the city.
The distance from the business district
is measured, not in miles. but in min
uIes on the street car. The service Is
now So frequent and so efficient that
the differences between a residence close
in and home in new subdivision Is
only a matter of a very few minutes
on a street car.
