 ''The doctor said he could find no or ganic trouble but said my heart was ir- rltable from some food l had been accus- toned to eat, and asked me to try and remember what disagreed with me.
 "I remembered that coffee always soured on my stomach and caused me trouble from palpitation of the heart. So 1 stopped coffee and began to use Postum. l have had no further trouble since.
 "A neighbor of ours. aa old man, was so irritable from drinking coffee that his wife wanted him to drink Postum. This made him very angry, but his wife se- cured some Postum and made it care fully according to directions.
 "He drank the Postum and did not know the difference, and is still using 1t to his lasting benefit. He tells his wife that the coffee is better than it used to be. so she smiles with him and keeps peace in the family by serving Postum instead of coffee" There's a Reason"

GOOD ROADS.
Commercial Secretaries Will Discuss
Improvement of Highways.

Fort Worth, Tev. Aug. 29.--Good
roads will receive a great amount of
attention at the convention of COM

TENDER 9-10-11, and it is likely the
organization will devote consider
able Effort during the year to per-
feet a comprehensive system of road
building; nothing is worthy to sup
ersede it at this juncture.
We are deficient in both quality
and quantity of our roads. We now
have $500 miles of public high
ways in the state, and while this is
sufficient to encircle the globe three
times, it is quite inadequate for
Texas. If we had the road mileage
the state of Iowa has, as compared
with our area, we would have l.
$50, 900 miles of public highways.
We have 245 counties in the state
and only nine are building roads
this year, and probably less than
700 miles of permanent highways
will be constructed during 1908 At
this rate it will take us l 900 years
to build our roads. Good gravel
roads can be built for $1,000 per
mile. Mr. T. w. Larkin, secretary
of the Denison Board of Trade, will
lead the discussion on good roads
at the convention, and he is recog-
nized authority on this subject.
