GRAFTON. Feb. 17.-Grafton Is to
be the central distributing station 70.
the postofiices OF West Virginia aul
all the offices Of the State will be
furnished supplies from this city. in.
stead OF from Washington as has al.
ways been the case,
For more tnan a year past Post
master E. L. Love has been working
on a plan and to have large amount
OF postal supplies on hand to avoid
delays and 10 better the postal ser.
vice in Grafton and West Virginia.
For all kinds Of postal supplies
Washington has always been the cen.
trail anu ony distributing point and
this has caused long delays In pro-
curing material for the conduct Of
the different postoftlces on account
Of the great amount Of orders daily
received for supplies at Washington.
DR.. Love conceived the idea OF es.
tablIshing a central postal supply
storage house In Grafton for West
Virginia, at least. and theiI the otncr
States could follow suit. The matter
was taken up and after unwlndils
several miles Of "red tape" It was
at last settled and Grafton Is now
the central distributing point OF West
Virginia.
This mears tlat there Will be spe.
clal clerks employed to handle the
checking and distribution OF this int.
mense supply and thereby more men
will be put to work steadily In Graf
ton. Three millions, two hundred and
fifty thousand postal cards are part Of
the supplies that have arrived anil
more are coming every day. r
the location Of the Sub-Supply
Department In Grafton Is the result
OF much labor on the part Of Dr.
Love and he .as been given the hear
ty support OF Senator Stephen D.
Elklns and together they have ag.-
tated the necessity Of the central dis
trlbutins point until It became a real.
lty. The basement OF the Wehn
building, under the store Of Loar s.
Hen,irickson has been leased by, tn.
government and large amount OF
the postal supplies have already
been moved into It.
Not only will the postmasters OF
West Virginia be supplied with postal
cards, stamped envelopes and other
but other States adjacent to
West Virginia as well will receive
their supplies from Grafton. Severn!
car loads Of supplies, besides those
already received, are on the way anil
as soon as they arrive they will bc
installed in the storage room.
"A superintendent will be desIgnat.
ed to take charge OF the new depart
ment and he will be given a store.
keeper and clerRs nom time to time
as the business Increases at this
point.
Tne establishment Of this branch
OF the postal department in Grafton
means quite an addition to the Post.
office at this point, and 1t involves
more responsibility to Dr.. Love, as
the management Of this branch will
multiply the duties of the postmaster
here.

Washington, March 24.--President
Taft severed another link connecting
him with the Roosevelt administration

Roosevelt was sailing out of New
York harbor for A;Iica, the President
broke the chair formerly occupied by
his predecessor. Early today the chair
was borne from the White House and
sent to local shop for repairs,
1t has beeun understood for some
time that the new President, because
of his size, would have new chair
made of extra large proportions for
his Use. The chair taken from the

juncture in affairs OF state the spring

NATURAL STIMULANTS

In all tropical countries nature In.
stinctively calls for hot and stimulat.
ing additions to ordinary food. 1t
seems absolutely necessary to quicken
the faded appetite, and stimulate the
digestive organs with curries, chutney.
chill peppers, and similar relishes, to
an extent unknown and uncalled for
in temperate climes.
Nature has recognized the necessity
for these condiments by providing a
profusion OF spices and peppers In all
hot countries, and natural instinct has
taught the people to employ these art.
lcles in their diet with great advant
age to themselves.
These natural stimulants take the
place of animal food to great ex.
tent. The free use Of meat is known

dyspepsia is practically unknown

In conjunction with chilli peppers,

CALHOUN TRIAL
 WILL SOON END

San Francisco, June 9.-Assfstant Dis trict Attorney Heney announced this aft ernoon that the prosecution's case in the trial of Patrick Calhoun will be com- plete at the hour of adjournment tomor- row.
 'I have every reason to believe said MT. Heney that all the evidence we intend to present will be placed before the jury by tomorrow night
 MT. Heney's statement was accepted as an acknowledgement that Abraham Ruef, the political boss, convicted of participant ing in the bribery with which Calhoun Is charged, will not be called as a wit ness by the prosecution.
 Although the attorneys for Calhoun re- fused to make any statement tonight, 1t is probable that no witnesses will be called by the defense. If this course is followed the opening argument for the prosecution will probably be made by Assistant District Attorney John O'Gara on Friday and the case will certainly be submitted to the Jury next week.
 During the day, Alexander Latham, for mer chauffeur for Abraham Ruef, was questioned concerning his departure and absence from the state during the pre- ceding graft trials.

 Senator Guggenheim of Colorado is an influential member of the lead trust and he is a silent but interested member who is watching the efforts to lower the duty on that mineral.
 Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin owns vast tracts of timber and he will be directly interested whether Congress raises or lowers the duty.
