THEY GROW.
Good Humor and CheerfuIness from
Right Food.

Cheerfulness Is like sunlight. 1t dis
pels the clouds from the mind as sun
light chases away the shadows Of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off load that the man
with crouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A
Washington lady found that letting
coffee alone made things bright for
her. She writes:
-Four years ago I was practically
given up by my doctor and was not
expected to live long. My nervous
system was in bad condition.
But was young and did not want
to die so began to look about for the
cause of my chronic trouble. l used
to have nervous spells which would
exhaust me and after each spell it
would take me days before could sit
up in a chair.
'I became convinced my trouble
was caused by coffee. I decided to
stop it and bought some Postum.
1.-The first cup, which 1 made ac-
cording to directions, had a soothing
effect on my nerves and l liked the
taste. For a time nearly lived on
Postum and ate little food besides. 1
am today healthy woman.
my family and relatives wonder
II I am the same person l was four
years ago, when could do no work on
account of nervousness. Now / am do
ing my own housework, take care OF
two babies-one twenty, the other two
months old. i am SO busy that l hard

it all with the cheerfulness and good
humor that comes from enjoying good
health.

OLD MEMBERS
DO NOT SEEK
REINFORCEMENT

Mayor Smith has not as yet made
his selections for the board of pubhe
works. and may not do so for several
days yet.
There is no hurry in the matter, F"
he said today, "and as | am anxious
to secure men of the greatest ability
and highest character. of course, l
shall need little time for considera-
ton"
The mayor commented on the ex,
cellent work the present board has
done. II Is not known whether any
of the present board will be reappoint-
ed, but from reliable sources il is
learned that none of the members is
very anxious to serve again, as they
assume they have contributed their
share of work to the city, and some
one else may now have the honors, II
any, that go with the positions.
The positions are verify thankless
ones. Probably as important as any
official positions in the city govern
ment, they require a great deal of
time. and the compensation is hardly
anything-s10O year.

Had Just Returned From Sec.
ond Trip and Had Coaled,
Settling Deep in Water When
Squan Broke Forth.

When a river squall reached Padu-
cab this morning the Charles Turner,
a towboat belonging to Captain John
Rollins, sank at the wharfboat about
4 o'clock with all the crew but the
captain on board. The boat was tied
up just below the wharfboat at the
foot of Broadway and was heavily
coaled ready to leave for the Tennes-
See this morning. The crew did not
lobserve the water that was running
in the boat when the waves struck her
side. till II was too late to do any
good. Clint Childs was the watch
man.
The stern of the boat sank ten feet
in the water, but tine bow did not
sink. as she was tied up close to the
bank and the bow was on the river
bottom.
Captain Rollins carried no insur-
ance on the Turner, but had been in
tending to get insurance for the past
two weeks He purchased the boat
December 6, 1907, from the estate of
Captain E. Gordon, of Pittsburg, and
had only made two trips. towing ties
from the Tennessee river for the

pany.
The Turner sank in FIVE mintstes,
due to the heavy coaling that xSs
given her yesterday by the West Ken
lucky Coal company. The coal is
being taken off her today and she
will be raised as soon as possible and
repaired for river work Captain Rol-
Inns does not know just how much his
loss will be. but thinks 1t will be
about $4,000 or $4,000.
The greatest loss will be to the ma
chinery and the expense Of raising the
boat. The boat Itself is not damaged
very much.
