"coFFEE DOESN'T HURT ME-"
Tales That Are Told.

Il was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me,"
says N. Y. woman. You just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with the heart and stomach trouble /
suffered from most Of the time.
"My trouble finally got SO bad l
had to live on milk and toast almost
entirely for three or four years. Still
/ loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
1t could do such damage.
What / needed was to quit coffee
and take nourishment in such form as
my stomach could digest.
II had read much about Postum,
but never thought it would fit my case
until one day ] decided to quit coffee
and give 1t trial and make sure about
1t. So / got package and carefully
followed the directions.
"Soon began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di-
gestants and it was not long before
was really new woman physically.
Nov | am healthy and sound, can
eat anything and everything that
comes along and / know this wonder
full change is all due to my having
quit coffee and got the nourishment
needed through this delicious Postum.
my wonder Is why everyone don't
give up the old coffee and the troubles
that go with 1t and build themselves up
as have done, with Postum"
Easy to prove by 10 days trial Of
Postum in place of coffee. The reward
is big.

Intruder Among the War Dogs.

Prof. William Lyon Phelps of Yale
went to West Point last fall to lee
ture. He was lecturing in the chapel,
the cadets were rigidly paying at
tention, erect, eyes front, each man
a ramrod of military etiquette. An
Irish setter entered the chapel door
and ambled sniffingly down the aisle
and up on to the platform. The ca
diets squirmed under the eagle eyes OF
their officers but not man smiled.
BILLY" noticed the strain. He looked
down at the dog wagging its tail beney-

The occasion will mark lhe completion of an elaborate water system for the town. The people of Mesa claim that the town has been growing so fast since the beginning of the government reclamation work at Roosevelt that they have not had time to celebrate. Arrange ments have been made to.care for the entire population of the entire territory at the forthcoming cele. bration. A feature of the celebra- tion will be day and night fire works.

Whole No. 836

Yesterday Mr. E. T. Davis, pre- sident of the Twin Buttes Mining < Smelling Company, arrived in the city from Twin Buttes. Mir. Davis is president of the mining company and is naturally inter- ested. During the course of the negotiations which have been carried on by representatives of the chamber of commerce and railroad officials, it has developed that there is some friction in the Twin Buttes companies between the officers of the mining company and the rail- road company. It is not likely, however, that this friction will be any obstacle to a continuation of the hopes of the Tucson people to have under way the building of the cutoff line at an early date. Mir. Davis, in speaking to Star man yesterday, said:
 "I am not in Mir. Hackett's con- fidence respecting the building of the railroad from Sahuarito to CalabaSas, and do not consider that the proposition amounts to much unless he expressed the senti- ment of the s. P. company.
 q saw him at the Canoa ranch Thursday last, but he said nothing to me about his proposal to the chamber of commerce the previous Tuesday evening, and my only in- formation was obtained subse- quently from the newspapers.
 q do know, however, that neither the Twin Buttes Railroad company nor the Twin Buttes Mining X Smelling company are parties to the proposal of Mir. Hackett and his associates, which is either private enterprise, or a feeler of Tucson's pulse for the s. P. com pany.
 "I believe the extension will be built when the s. P company gets ready and satisfactory arrangement can be made with the Twin Buttes companies.
 'I will do all in my power to consummate the project not de- trimental to the interests of the Twin Buttes Mining & Smelling company, which 1 represent" l Over the phone last evening Geo. Kilt, president of the chamber of commerce, stated that he would call on Mir. Davis this morning and confer with him concerning the plans of the chamber of commerce regarding the extension of the road to Calabasas.

jobbing centers which they have

lobblng centers which they have built up.
 It is construed by many observ- ing people, that, while the move above announced may not be inn mediately made, the railroads are directing their energies to that end as rapidly as possible, and not for any philanthropic reason, but merely as a matter of business. They forsee that on the completion of the Panama canal, their water competition will be greatly in- creased and on many commodities the railroads will be unable to compete. That would mean sud den and a heavy decline in their business with the coast jobbers, who, naturally, will patronize the steamship, if the rates are better. The railroads, therefore, desire to foster and develop as much as pos sible in the interim between now and the completion of the canal, the jobbing business in the interior trade centers like Nogales, Tucson, Phoenix, Prescott, Repo, Salt Lake, Denver, Spokane, etc. This can only be done by making rates that will put them on a parity with coast jobbers.
 The coast jobbers naturally will deplore this move as much as the inland centers will appreciate it. and even now are uniting all their strength in trying to defeat the Spokane cases. They desire tC postpone any action of this kind just as long as they can, if possible until the completion of the canal when they will again have 8 rate advantage. But the railroad; having protected their coast trade all these years, now find a persona
 interest in a policy that will make less disastrous to them the blow
 that must follow the finishing of tht canal. The railroads do not pro
 pose to go out of business, anC
 would like to favor their old friends
 the jobbers, but they must protec
 themselves, and with this view o
 the case, it would appear that fo
 once the railroad interests and th
 inland commercial interests wer
 gradually becoming identical. The local railway commissioner to whom this matter was referred
 yesterday, while not wishing to b quoted, admitted that there wa much of reason in the story of tn Chicago correspondence. They hay
 no knowledge of what it is base upon other than the statement themselves, but that the comple tion of the canal will have some 1, thing of a revolutionary effect o the rate-making of the roads , quite evident from the conditions l Arizona Republican.
