DROPPED COFFEE
Doctor Gains 20 Pounds on Postum.

A physician of Wash, D. C., says of his coffee experiences:
 For years 1 suffered with periodical headaches which grew more frequent until they became almost constant. So severe were they that sometimes was almost frantic. I was sallow, consti- pated, irritable, sleepless; my mem ory was poor, 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. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave.
 Finally Wife bought package of Postum and persuaded me to try it, but she made it same as ordinary coffee and was disgusted with the taste. q make this emphatic because l fear many others have had the same expe- rience.) She was distressed at her failure and we carefully read the di- rections, made it right, boiled 1t full 15 minutes after boiling commenced, and with good cream and sugar, liked it-it invigorated and seemed to nourish me.
 This was about year ago. Now have no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, my brain clear and my head steady. have gained 20 lbs. and feel am new man.
 T do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing, but had dropped it before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose.
 "Postum not only seemed to act as an invigorant, but as an article or nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substanti' ated by my wife and her sister, who both changed to Postum and are hearty women of about 70.

CHAPTER XX.-Continued.

Sally B. sped away to the kitchen. Stella detained Uncle Billy second in the hall her hand on his coat lapel. She had intended to speak with him about schools, where to go, how to set about the new life; but these ques- tions must wait His trip and it's sue cess were the only things that mat tered now.
 Aren't you going to rest?" she asked There are plenty others to work. Go to bed early, won't you, Uncle Billy?"
 He crossed his warm, strong hand over hers with fond pressure. It was sweet to have her womanly solicitude, to feel her near him, her soft hand pulsing under his own. "Afteh the fight is time enough to rest, little girl. l must see that my wagon and stock are all right for the first hard drive. I'll have to trust to luck ditch that, or to the hostlehs-that's about the same thing"
 Well, rest as much as you can. then. I'll have luck flower for your button-hole when you start" She smiled into his eyes, her own shining with excitement. You'll win, Uncle Billy! I know it!"
 She watched him down the street to the stage barn, where she knew no item of preparation would escape his vigilant eye. Yet there was time to spare. Would he take advantage of 1t? Perhaps not. She knew he was master of that perfect relaxation that prepares for stress as we'll as sleep does
 Alvin had dropped his study Viola was fighting her trouble alone and Sally B. was in the kitchen. Stella, left with no pressing duty, wandered into the dark parlor. Lighting it was Viola's task, but she had forgotten to- night, to Stela's satisfaction.
 She drew chair to the window that faced the dim mountain across the gorge, closed her senses to the little world about her and was quickly off with the sprites of the night to keep her hearts tryst with Alfred. Not quite alone did they two meet this night in fancy's fair halls. Viola. Al win. even Sally B.s uncompromising black eyes interrupted Stellas dreams.

MANY USES FOR THE HAIRPlN.
Little instrument May Be Said to Be
 Invaluable.

It is an excellent substitute for paper cutter. It will pierce cigar or clean a pipe. AS puttonhook, either for boots or gloves, it Is invaluable. In lieu of its sharper sister, the pin. seaside trippers have been known to find 1t convenient for extracting the winkle from Its shell. In extremities it has served as a toothpick. horrible as this may seem, while. if sufficient number are used. it supplies the place of hatpin.
 There is another popular service also that it performs. says the London Chronicle. Recently at smart hotel in London young lady took up a novel, saying to the man who was carrying 1t round: How far have you got with this story" As she spoke she opened the book with that quick movement which inevitably be. trays the book marker, then putting it down with laugh added: "Oh, 1 was looking for the hairpin which marked the place you had reached. but, of course. you don't use hairpins."

THE TAFTONIAN MEAL.
New York Press. }

1t is now said that Taft was made
by Georgia product, a fat old ne
gress from LAGRANGE, who has been
his family cook for many years. She
is one of the last of her race-a race
of natchul-born cooks. She can Meth
er read nor write; but she grew up
with numerous famous receipts for
this, and that and t'other, all handed
down by her mother and grandmother
when ''cookin' was cookin" 1t al
most saddens Yankee to read Of
what the old-fashioned negro cook
set for breakfast and dinner Think
of Taft being made in Georgia"
That is nearly as good as being made
in Germany
Taft, of course, is good trencher-
man. He is a gourmet without be
ing a gourmand an epicure without
being a glutton At the table he is
not finical. He doesn't smell about
his food He is never looking for VIC
lations of the alleged pure food regu-
lations He eats with much gusto
whatever is set before him, which is
the best evidence in the world of a
sane mind in a sane body. He has
hot rolls for breakfast, Georgia style
the kind that rise five inches III the
pan and Drowned top and bottom, can
be pulled apart like so many fine
pieces of snow-white felt Jerusa-
lem! Plenty of butter! Or ham
gravy! Taft loves ham and bacon.
Smothered chicken. Toasted cheese.
Old fashioned grits. Lye hominy.
Bless my soul! Wafles. Hoe cakes,

the use? A candidate that revels in
such food ought to carry the solid

the number of his admirers in the
West must surely have increased so
greatly that he can count with Ger
tainty on practically all of the doubt

And that the tide is running strong
" in his favor is evident from the
fact that the President has become
uneasy. and is doubtless getting ready
to take the unidentified step of going
on the stump in behalf of Mr. Taft.
There was a dispatch in a Taft pa
per the other day from Washington
in which it was stated that it was
regarded as certain in that city that
the President had about made up his
mind to make few speeches for the
man he had chosen for his successor
If the President should take that step
it would be an admission that, in
the opinion of the Republican cam
paign managers. the cause of Mr.. Taft
was desperate, and that heroic meas
ures would have to be adopted in his
behalf. Mr. Bryan's entrance into,
and his hearty reception in the en-
emy's country" seems, to have alarm
ed the Republican leaders greatly.

WILL BUILD A CANDY ROAD.

erican)
The Government is preparing to
build a candy road This is no sweet
dream, but a solid, saccharine fact. In
its experiments to perfect a dustless
highway the Office of public roads, OF
the Department OF Agriculture pur-
poses to adopt molasses as road ma
terial
Up at Newton, Mass, Assistant
Chemist Provost Hubbard, of Direc-
tor Pages Scientific Corps, is level
ing a half-mile stretch Of road, and in
a few days will be in active supervis-
ion of the laying of the first mo-
lasses road of history
This molasses is the almost use
less by-product of the great cane
sugar refineries of the South and the
beet-sugar refineries of the West and
Southwest. 1t is sickishly sweet,
nearly as black and as thick as tar,
and almost as powerful as those
products as binder. Having al
ways been a waste product, it can be
bought at a lower price than coal
tar, which is also being experimental
with, and in greater quantities.
When the quantity and the sticks
consistency of this molasses were
called to the attention of Director
Page a number of months ago, he
conceived the idea that it might aid in
solving the always difficult problem
OF dusty roads. He sent for a sup
ply for laboratory experiments and
detailed Mr. Hubbard to conluct them.
The molasses was blended with oils
and limewater; was mixed with rock
dust, with earth and with sand, and
tried out under heat and under water
1t behaved so well and held out such
promises for ideal roads that the
practical test of a real road was re-

REPUBLICANS ARE ALARMED

In June the Republicans expected
to walk over the Presidential course
and rcary off the stakes without an
effort In September they are sweat
ing at every pore in their efforts TO
keep pace with the Democrats, and
they note with alarm a steadily in
creasing enthusiasm for Mr.. Bryan
and nothing of the sort for Mr.. Taft.
The President is getting nervous; he
has fired off a letter to arouse Re
publican support of his candidate, and
while it is announced that he will
not go on the stump, it is certain
that he cannot keep quiet while the
campaign moves as it is now moving.
The Union League and the Manufac-
turers' Club of this city are giving
rnmistakable evidences of alarm at
the undeniable apathy of Republicans.
The country doesn't scare" at Bryan
as it was expected to, and the tariff
beneficiaries and the Republican ring

is.
