yesterday and last evening he was
cheerful and apparently normal, even
to the extent of going down to bust
ness Monday morning, where he
lunched as usual in the Standard Oil
building.
News of the financier's death did
not become generally known till about
two hours after it occurred. The stock
exchange had not opened when the
report reached Wall street, but with
the opening there was hardly an ap-
preciable effect on the market. After
a decline at first in the stocks in
which he was popularity supposed to
be interested, conditions rapidly ad-
justed themselves, confirming in
way that Mr.. Rogers had in the last
few months anticipated death and
withdrawn from the market
Henry H. Rogers was a money
maker and one of the most successful
men of the Standard Oil group. He
began life as a poor boy at Fairhaven,
Mass, where he was born and re-
tanned his legal residence there until
the day of his death. He is variously
reported as having commenced life as
a newsboy and as a driver of a gro
Gerry cart. He was a man of many
friends and an enthusiastic yachtsman.
Until recently he had held the reins
of the Standard Oil Company follow
ing the retirement of John ID. Rookie
Teller, although ]. d. Archbold at
tended to the routine management of
the great corporation.
Just how much money Mr. Rogers
leaves is not known His fortune is
variously estimated at from $4,000,
600 to $4,000 900, which will make his
son, H. H. Rogers, Jr., one of the rich
est men in the country.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink It?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
/ should want good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and l could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck
and thought that 1 simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
1 was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so l resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit
Il began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but l
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use of Postum I now feel like a
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since 1 left off coffee"
