DROPPED CoFFEE.


Doctor Gains 20 Pounds ON Postum.
a physician of Wash. ID. c., says OF
his coffee experience:
For years | suffered with p~eriodicai
headaches which grew more frequent
until they became almost constant. So
severe were they that sometimes | was
almost frantic. | was sallow, 'consti-
was poor, l trembled and my thoughts
were often confused.
MY wife, in her wisdom, believed
coffee was responsible for these ills and
urged me to drop it. | tried many
times to dc so, but was its slave.
Finally Wife bought a package Of
Postum and persuaded ME to try it, but
she made it same as ordinary coffee
and | was Disguised with the taste. (T
make this emphatic because ! fear
many others have had the same ex-
perience.) She was distressed at her
failure and we carefully read the dlrec-
lions, made it right, boiled it full ID min
utes after boiling commenced. and with
good cream n ugar, | liked tit
invigorated and seemed to nourish me.
THAT was about a year ago. Now I
have no headaches. am not sallow,
sieeplessness and irritability are gone,
my brain clear and my hand steady. I
have gained 20 lbs. and feel / am a
new man.
Il do not hesitate to give Postum
due credit. OF course dropping coffee
was the main thing. but . had dropped

other things 70 no purpose.
Postum not only seemed to act as
an invigorant, but as an article OF
nourishmcnt, giving me the needed
phosphates and albumcns. This is no

Production of Precious Stones.

The total value of the precious stones
produced in the United States during
1907 is placed by the geological sur
vey at SAT-, 900, as compared with $685.
900 in 1906. This great increase is due
chiefly to q very large output of sap
phire in Montana, of both the blue and
the variegated variety. The total pro-
duction of sapphire In the United States
for 1907 is estimated at $229,S00. Tour
maline is second in Importance, and Is
placed at S84,120. Among other i'm
portant gems produced were chryso-
praise, to the value of $45,500; c~alifor-
mite, $25, 000; turquoise, $23, $40; spod-
umene gems RunZite and hiddenite),
$14, 500; varicite, utahlite, and anna

and high prices were concerned, but freely admitted that a reac- tion might come before the sea son was well on in Arizona
 "The market is somewhat i'm proved on staple wOOls, said Mir. Vanderwart, lon account ot improved financial conditions. Money is easier, and, in fact, the evidences of the recent money scare are rapidly disappearing and things seem to be nearly nor mal. However am afraid wool will be down this year. Sixty five percent of last years crop IS still in the hands Ofthe wholesale merchants in Boston today. They can not sell 1t at a reasonable fig ure and are consequently holding it and are Il t buying any new stock. Tbe demand for the staple article, such as Is grown in Utah, Colorado and Arizona, IS rather light. The strong, long staples, which are used for making WOrs- ted goods, are a little more called for, but it is worth from , to 71a per cent less thls year than 1t was last year. The demand for the lower grades has dropped from 25 to 35 per cent. The demand for wool of all kinds is rather slow. The manufacturers have not yet begun to turn out their fall and winter goods for this sea son, and of course the call for the staple article is rather small This situation has, of course been brought about by the recent panic; the small dealers cancelling orders given to the wholesalers; the wholesale mer chants in turn cancelling then with the manufacturers. Just as an evidence of the decline in prices 1 might cite one instance which comes to my mind. This time last year We imported a quar tel blood South American wool which cost us from 37 to 10 cents per pound. duty paid. This veal the same, wool is selling in Bos ton, duty paid tor 2S and 2e cents. However, there is a pOssi bilitv that the market may rally and the prices go up, but 1 an very much of the opinion thai the prices will be down and the demand light for this year."
