BANISHED
~ Coffee Finally Had to Go.

The way some persons cling to cof-
fee ven after they know it is doing
them harm is a puzzler. But it is an
easy matter to give it up for good,
when Postum Food Coffee is proper.
ly made and used instead.
A girl writes: Mother had been
suffering with V headaches for
Eve weary years, but kept drinking
coffee.
Zone day I asked her Why she did
not give up coffee, as a cousin of
mine had done who had taken to
Postum. But mother was such a
slave to coffee she thought it would
be terrible to give it up.
FINALLY, one day, she made the
change to Postum, and quickly her
headaches disappeared. One MORN
ing while she was drinking Postum
SO freely and with such relish 1 asked
for q taste.
THAT started me on Postum, and
I now drink it more freely than I did
coffee, which never comes into our
house now.
"a girl friend of mine, one day,
saw me drinking Postum and asked
II it was coffee. 1 told her it was
Postum. and gave her some to take
home, but f~orgot-to tell her how to
make it.
THE next day she said she did not
see how I could drink Postum. I
found she had made it like ordinary
coffee. So I told her how to make it
right, and gave her a cupful I made,
after boiling it fifteen minutes. She
said she eve drank any coffee that
tasted as good, and nov coffee is ban-
tshed from both our homes" Name

Combined with this continued de-
maud upon the retailer is the fact
that little or no goods have been
bought since the early fall, and
stocks are becoming relatively ex-
hausted. From the source referred
to above 1t was learned, for ex-
ample, that one house in a Southern
city sold $4,000 of goods in No
vember and bought $4,000. AS a
result, orders which were Cancelled
are reported az being renewed and
new orders received to replenish
stocks that were neglected in the
weeks of uncertainty following the
financial furry.
Coupled with this increase Of de-
mand, an improvement in collections
is reported in many branches of the
dry goods trade, which bids fair to
bring that element of the business
back to normal within a comparative
ly short time. so far as the interior
OF the country is concerned. The
prediction is being made in dry
| goods circles that this fact coupled
with the release of boarded money
by interior banks will operate to ease
the money situation materially with
in the next sixty days.
Reports received by one large
house from nine different centres of
manufacture for exports on the other
side of the Atlantic indicate that the
European trade organizations and
the individual producers. regardless
of such membership, will do what
they can to maintain prices with the
idea of curtailing production rather
than create a situation where prices
will have to come down, to the injury
both of the producer and Of tho
American importer.

has been none from the West. Just
across the water there is a country
with an immense population whose
commerce we are seeking. We re-
fer to the people OF Asia as the yell
low race. There are 400,000,000
Chinese, as strong physically and
mentally as we are.
There is over there another ma
ton whose people are progressive
and ambitious. We may some day
see a skilled army in Japan of from
100000 to 100000. They will
say: You claim Europe as your
country. This is ours. Get out!'
I don't think they have any such
idea now, and we have no hostility
toward them. But there will be a
conflict between the yellow race and
the white race that will shake the
earth. When it comes I want to see
this country with a navy on both
oceans that will be strong enough"
In conjunction with his belief in
the obligation to build ships, Justice
Harlan holds that It is the duty of
the country to fortify thoroughly
every seaport under the American
flag and make 1t impregnable. War
comes suddenly, he says, and from
the most peaceful outlook it may de-
Velop before It is possible to make
preparations, or even to build a
battleship, much less a navy.
lie believes that a nation which is
weak in martial spirit, Or which has
not a strong navy, is in danger of
being forced into war when it Is
not desired, and when the nation is
least able to meet such an emergency.

New York City.-A canvass of the
sentiment in a dozen important
trades, as expressed by members of
different industries and the edi-
torial opinions of recognized trade
journals in the last few days, has
developed a distinctly hopeful tone
for the outlook for 1908. OF 1907
there is apparently a common opin-
ion-that the first eight months
were satisfactory to a marked de-
gree, and in some instances sur
passed former. records as far as vol
m of business was concerned. The
financial disturbances of last fall,
however. brought about a great
change in this respect. and several
trades suffered severely. A state
ment of conditions in a majority of
the trades covered appears to those
most interested to justify the expec-
tations of good business in 1908.
Particularly is this the case in a
good many of the dry goods trades.
A member of one of the largest I'M
porting houses in New York. whose
buyers reach every important centre
in Europe and with statesmen in every
section of the United States, declared
that the reports which his firm re-
ceived were distinctly encouraging
for a trade recovery all over the
country. The reports from all over
the Middle, Western and Southern
States indicated the best Christmas
trade among retailers on record.
These reports covered San Francis
60, Portland, Los Angeles and Ia
coma on the coast; Minneapolis, st.
Paul. Milwaukee and other cities in
the Middle West, and several cities
such as San Antonio. in the South
west, Atlanta, in the Southeast.

The Art of organ Grinding.

While the organ grinder ate the
thickly buttered slice of bread on tie

who had provided the repast amused
herself by trying to turn the crank of
the organ steadily.
