JEwELRY ON APPROVAL
4 Departure From old Methods Points
 Progress to New Ideas.

That the American public know good things when they see them, and Is ready to pick them up, becomes more certain every day.
 The evidence of this is in the in creasing number of great conservative manufacturers of the country offering to send their goods to the farthermost ends of the country on approval
 An example of this is in the an- nouncement, in another column of this paper. of the noted diamond and jewell " house of Mermod, Jaccard & King, of St Louis, Mo, the oldest manufac- turing jewelry house in America, hav- ing done business continually in St. Louis since 1929. and being now the greatest house of it's kind in the West and the largest in the seuntry. outside New York It maintains offices in London and Amsterdam, the two great markets for precious stones, and does it's manufacturing and setting in St Louis, in it's own factories in it's own great eight-story building
 Proud of it's prestige and jealous oi it's integrity of seventy y-nine years standing it has always lived up to its motto: satisfaction Guar anteed or Your Money Returned With Iout Question" it is a distinct move ment in the evolution of business methods when an old. wealthy, conser- vative house like the Mermod, Jaccart & King JeweIry Company are persuad- ed to try the new method of sending selections of diamonds and other prec' ious stones, jewelry, watches and ar goods to prospective purchasers, a their own expense and on approval
 To enable purchasers to make sucl selections as they want to look over handsome gift book of 200 pages showing the goods as they would b. seen in the store in St. Louis. is sen free for the asking. If one only want to select diamond goods. a handsom' 50 0-page diamond booklet Is sent.

COL. STEWART Is ALL READY
for Riding Contest Pre-
 SCribed for Him
He is at Tucson Await ing Orders From Wash ingtOn'


 Tucson, Sept. 12.-col. stewart of Camp Grant did not take the riding test today. He waits for the comple- tion of the preliminary physical exam nation and further orders. He is app parently in good condition. The great cir part of the Huaehuca garrison left today with their. mounts for Los An geles to take in the practice march.
 He is indignant and said, T have wired three times to Washington since I arrived here on September 9. for fur ther orders. I have received none and get no attention. I am ready to ride. I don't known what to do but if order ed because I am an officer of the Unit eh States army and am accustomed to obey"
 The only medical officer at Huac- lhuea to examine Stewart is one assls- tant surgeon Captain Porter, the surgeon in charge left with the troops The probabilities are that when Stew art receives orders he will ride 90 miles with Lieutenant Dockery, the only available officer at the post. The supposed route will be from Huachuca
 to Fairbanks, to Tombstone and tc Huachuca, triangle of 30 miles te
 each leg. Stewart is 5s years old. but
 lean and wiry and says the ride wil
 not bother him in the least.

ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK What's the Use When There's an
 Easy Way Out.

Along with the coffee habit has grown the prevalent American Dis ease''-nervous prosptration.
 The following letter shows the way out of the trouble;
 Five years ago I was a great cof- fec drinker and from it's use I became so nervous I could scarcely sleep at aH nights My condition grew worse and worse until finally the physician consulted declared my troubles were all due to coffee.
 -'Bu< being so welded to the bever- I'age did not see how could do without it. especially at breakfast. as that meal seemed wholly incomplete without coffee.
 "On a visit some friends deprived me of coffee to prove that it was harmful At the end of about eight days I was less nervous but the cray ing for coffee was intense, so went back to the old habit as soon as l got home and the old sIeepless nights came near making wreck of me.
 T heard of Postun and decided to try it. I did not like it at first, be- cause, as I afterwards discovered. it was not made properly. I found however, that when made after di- rections. on the package it was de- iicious.
 Tt had soothing effect on my nerves and none of the bad effects that coffee had. so bade farewell to coffee and have used only Postum since The most wonderful account of the benefit to be derived from Pos tum could not exceed my own exper- fence.' There's Reason"
