FIVE BROTHERS

All Thought They Knew Good Coffee.
An amusing story comes from a vet
eran in Iowa. It shows how possible 1t
is for not only one man to be mistaken
about a matter, but four make the same
blunder at once.
Thirteen years ago." writes q Col
onel of the late war. II was confirmed
invalid. unable to attend to business. /
had heart trouble and had it bad.
Deciding to consult a specialist, I
| told my wife was going to Chicago for
a few days on business, not saying
what the main business was.
"On arriving in the city went to
see man on small matter and had
| to climb two flights Of stairs. thought
would never get to the top. I could
only go up two or three steps at g.
time and did this by hanging onto the
railing. When got to the mans Of
fee. was SO exhausted I had to rest
before could state my errand.
"Next morning sought out my
me If used tobacco. or intoxicating
liquors: said no. Ever drink coffee?
Yes. always have, in fact it is all l live
on these days.
well. you just stop 1t entirely, said
the doctor. Why man, gasped, what
will live on? Did you ever drink
Postum, he asked. I said no. Then
he asked me where was stopping and
sent me to q restaurant with instruc-
lions to have them make me Postum.
$50 took my meals there and really
liked Postum from the start. I stayed
more than ten days and went homo
feeling much better. I could sleep and
that gone feeling had gone, sure
enough. When arrived at home Just
picked up my suit case and walked
home from the depot as spry as a kit
ten and I'll not soon forget the happy
surprised look on my wife's face.
when she opened the suit case,
she found two packages Of Postum.
She laughed at me and said we could
get plenty at the store. had always
been f1nicky about my coffee, and my
four brothers were all acquainted with
the fine Java my wife used to make.
I'VE were all bankers and got togeth-
er sometimes for visit. About this
time they all happened to be at our
house and remarked that they expected
some Of Nettie's fine coffee. She called
me out and said we must have some
coffee.
MAKE Postum just as you have been
doing, said. The boys were all about
as I had been from drinking coffee.
They complimented my wife on her
Java" and drank two cups apiece.
After dinner she told them 1t was
not Java. What! No. 1t was Postum.
Then she told them Of my complete re-
covery since quitting coffee and using
Postum. They all Wen way deter
mined to quit coffee, al we are all
today enjoying the pink OF good health.
and we attribute it largely to the use
of Postum"

NACB|N|&IS TURN
down SCHEDULE
Company's Proposition to Cut
Wages Not Accepted by
Shop Committee
APPEAL TO MANAGER DAY
Business Agent of international Ma
chinists' Union Goes to Minneapolis
to Lay Case Before General Man
aserA Strike Of Machinists Is Not
An lmprobabiIity.

The new wage schedule, prepared by
Iowa Central officials, which cuts the
wages of machinists of the local shop.
was refused by the shop committee Of
machinists, which met General Super
intendent D. c. Noonan in this city
Saturday night. The committee. acting
on instructions from the local union.
refused to consider the new scale Of
wages, and it has appealed to General
Manager L. Il. Day. e. ]. Hetterick, a
business agent Of the international un-
ion Of machinists. who has been in the
city on the case, left for Minneapolis
this morning to present the appeal to
Mr. Day.
The new schedule reduces the pay Of
machinists from 40 to 81 cents an hour.
which the company claims is as much
as other roads are paying for the same
labor in Iowa.
1t Is expected that Mr.. Days position
on the wage question is the same that
Mr.. Noonan has taken, and that the
latter was acting with full knowledge
OF Mr.. Day. 1t is thought hardly likely
that Mr.. Day will do other than con-
firm Mr.. Noonan's position.
Should the company insist on put
ting in force the reduced scale it is not
beyond the range Of probabilities that
strike Of the machinists will be
called.
The company has intended present.
ing similar wage schedules to the boil-s
ermakers and blacksmiths as soon as
tinue his work at the same time.

There now remains less than three
weeks before al candidates for nomin-
alton on any ticket for the November
election must have on file their nomin-
alton papers or affidavits. The primary
election will be held on June 2, and the
law provides that all candidates must
have their nomination papers on file
thirty days prior to that date.
This means that ali candidates for
office must have filed with tho county
auditor by May 2. 1t is understood
that all candidates for the nomination
for township offices must have, their
affidavits on file at the same time,
altho they do not have to secure sig
natures to their petitions. Candidates
for county offices must have over 100
names fixed to their petitions.
Ballots Will Be Changed.
Instead Of having the candidates for
nomination in straight row on the
party ballot it is likely that there will
be four rows Of names. The candidates
for the national ticket will be in one
column, the state candidates in an
other, the district candidates in third
and the county candidates in a fourth.
In this way long and bungling
ballot will be avoided and it will be
A1 nd NH
easier for the voter to mark.

From the Oklahoma Messenger.]
We give herewith a few statements
gained from reliable sources. in some
instances, the exact words of those in
terviewed.
One groceryman said that almost i'm
medate1y after Prohibition went into
effect, more people were buying gro
ceries, and more of them, at his store
than at any time since he had been in
business (Which was several years..
Men whom he positively knew to have
been spending their money for liquor
before the saloons were closed, were
responsible, almost exclusively, for this
increase in business.
Another groceryman said the change
in his business was so noticeable that
when his wagons were started out to
deliver the goods, he wondered where it
could all be going.
All of our business men, practically
all of them, testified to the fact that,
notwithstanding the money panic, their

business in meeting public expenses. 1t
says:
1t is the constant boast of the sa-
loonkeepers of Michigan, when backed
UP into a tight argumentative corner
by Prohibition workers, that only for
the sale and distillation of whisky and
the product of the brewery, when sold
over the bar, the public schools of the
state would be closed for want Of
funds. Maine is Prohibition state.
1t possesses a public school system

THE NEGRO AND PROHIBITION

Booker T. Washington at the Univer-
Sity of Minnesota
The Prohibition movement has nothing
to do with the race problem. 1t is a
deep-rooted movement seeking better
ment of conditions among both whites
and negroes in the South. 1t has come
to stay.
Its effect on the race problem is only
incidental, but yet its influence is of the
greatest. 1t does away with the rioting,
mob rule and violence, because the latter
are in most cases due to liquor. In the
ignorant communities of the South the
physical attractions of whisky and the
barroom were productive of the great
est evils, and these have been done away
with in many communities by the Prohi-
bition movement. The law is being
strictly enforced everywhere, and its pur-
pose is in no sense sporadic.

ticians who disregard the law in the
interests of their pocketbooks. 1t is
not because the sentiment of the ma
jority is against the enforcement OF
the law that Prohibition does not pro-
hibit better, but simply because so
many of the officials, for the sake of
greed, ignore their oaths and fail to
do their duty. One of the direct re-
suits of the saloon is to breed full
hedged, blatant anarchists, and the
brood is big one in Chicago and
elsewhere. The red flag, instead Of
the stars and stripes, should be dis
played over every rum hole in the
land, until it is torn to flinders by an
outraged people by their actions at the
ballot-box.
