Fresh Air Treatment.

Most uf us are acquainted with the
person who asks obvious questions
the sort Of man who stops you in the
middle of headlong pelt and asks you
II you are in a hurry-and of all the fr-
ritable individuals he is the worst OF
the Objectionable species.
Mr.. Ellis is one of those pests, and
during a walk abroad the other morn
ing he paused in astonishment outside
a friends house. Before it stood three
huge moving vans, the lawn was almost
covered with articles of furniture of
various iSinds-pictures wardrobes and
china. And there was his old friend
Hills, begrimed and weary, and ILL
tempered, directing operations in his
shirt-slIeves.
What, Hills" exclaimed Mr.. Ellis,
"are you moving?"
Not ut all-not at all" snapped
Hills, with elaborate sarcasm. 81 am
taking my furniture out for ride!"

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says it Weakens the Heart

''In my opinion" says a well known
German physician, mo one can truth.
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as it has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in.
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use of
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, / have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected, 1
have recommended Postum as a bev-
erage, since it is free from all injuri-
Gus or exciting substances. 1 know
this from results in my own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place of coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby" There's Reason"

THEIR DEGREES OF HAPPINESS
Marital Relations of Rural Postmas-
ters Not All Serene.

The chief clerk of the post office de-
partment at Washington recently sent
to all the postmasters in the country
list of questions asking for certain
information, says the New York Sun,
to be used in the preparation of the
government Blue Book. One of the
questions in the list was, What are
your marital rclations?"
The object of this particular ques-
ton was to find out whether the post
masters are married, single, widowed
or divorced. But some of the rural
postmasters did not understand, and
many answers were received in which
the persons addressed endeavored to
give a clear and lucid explanation of
the status of their married life. One
postmaster briefly stated that his do
mestic affairs were Fine and dandy"
Another, not so fortunate. replied:
Fairly middling," while a third filled

PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
Colorado Midland Train Narrowly Es-
capes Fearful Disaster.

Denver.-One of the most remark
able and narrow escapes from a rail
road catastrophe ever recorded in this
state, which probably would have
eclipsed in horror any in the history
of Colorado railroad wrecks, had it
happened, occurred at 8 o'clock in the
evening of February 18th, on the west
bound Colorado Midland road as train
No. 5 was rounding the famous He'll
Gate between Busk and Ivanhoe
Only the presence of mind of S. B.
Hopkins, a Rock Island tourist man
ager, who was on board, prevented the
train from leaping the track at He'll
Gate and falling into the canon below
with its nine coaches of passengers.
w. X. Armor, former Denver man,
now of Salt Lake, who was on board,
tells the story. The engineer stepped
out of his caDfor moment on the run
ming board of the engine to examine
something. The cab door blew shut
behind him, and the fireman, who had
not seen him go out, thought he had
lost control of the engine and jumped
to save his life. He became frightened
and leaped from the cab himself The
engine was running down heavy
grade and in few moments had
gained frightful speed.
Mr.. Hopkins was in one of the Pull
mans and, noticing the unusual speed,
realized that something was wrong. He
seized the emergency brake and pulled
hard, bringing the train 10 a sudden
stop just as it was rounding into He'll
Gate, where the chasm is 1000 feet
down.
The engineer was found upon the
engine, but the fireman was missing
The passengers instituted search for
him and after an hours hunting he
was found far back along the track
with both legs broken and otherwise
so injured that he was still uncon-
scious when removed from the train
to a hospital in Glenwood Springs.
The passengers were so grateful
that they sent a letter to the Rock
Island headquarters at Chicago, com
mending the action of Mr.. Hopkins.

Hartman Defeats Fish.

Chicago.-Judge Ball of the Superior
Court Thursday dissolved the injunc-
tion secured last October by Stuyves-
ant Fish, by virtue of which the Harri-
man interests We're restrained from
voting 2S1, ,231 shares of the capital
stock of the Illinois Central railroad at
the annual meeting of the company
The theory an which counsel for Mr.
Fish based their arguments in support
of the injunction-that it was contrary
to the laws and public policies of the
state of Illinois to allow foreign cor
porations to own and vote the stock of
domestic corporations-was denied by
the court.

War Talk is Nonsense.

New York-Whitelaw Reid, ambas-
sador of the United States to Great
Britain, in speech at the dinner of
the Pilgrims of the United States at
Delmonico's, declared that talk of the
obligation of Great Britain to sustain
Japan in war against the United States
was nonsense The ambassador said
that there was not the ghost of pos
sibility of war with Japan" and that
there was every reason to think the
Japanese sincerely our friends" Our
relations with Great Britain, the am
bassador said, We're cordial and there
were no serious complications.

No State Inspection.

Denver-State Dairy Commissioner
Bishopp desires to correct an impress
sion thot appears to be general among
writers for the rural press that there
is a state law providing for the testing
of dairy herds suspected of being
tubercular. Lately a number of the
country papers have been printing edi-
torials suggesting that the law ought
to be repealed. AS matter of fact
there is no such law among the Colo
RADIO statutes, although several NUM-
cipal councils have enacted ordinances
providing for such tests in the case OF
herds supplying milk for those par
ticular communities.
