IT WORKS
The laborer Eats Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
II was for II years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
after 1 entered the telegraph service.
There 1 got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
we're unsteady and my stomach got
weak and l was soon a very sick man.
I quit meat and tobacco and in fact ]
stopped eating everything which ]
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
I was all but a wreck.
Il finally quit coffee and com.
menced to S Postum a few years
ago, and I am speaking the truth
when I say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today /
am well and can eat anything 1 want
without any bad effects, all due to
shifting from coffee to Postum.
Il told my wife today / believed /

postum to go with it.

are scattered over the city, where men work
DAY after day in the noxious fumes of the
strongest llfe-destroying gases known to sci
ence. Educated men of undoubted scientific
attalnmentS work for hours in the interest of
commerce or the arts in order to solve some
elusive problem. With rubber masks and
gloves the chemist tries to protect himself
and succeeds in a measure, but the laboratory
has a long list of victims to answer for. Sight
less eyes, defective hearing, twisted limbs,
paralysis. paresis, insanity and death make up
the counts in the long Indictment.
The list of occupations of more than ordi-
nary peril is a long one. The tool grinder,
the man who puts the first rough edge on all
cutting implements, stands hour after hour
in front of a heavy emery wheel revolving at
a tremendous speed. A fault in the wheel, a
sudden acceleration or %stoppage in its speed
may cause the wheel to burst with the report
and dread effect of a six-inch shell. The fly
ing pieces rend walls and ceilings like paper
shapeless masses. No employee in the line
of it's force can hope to escape.
The powder mill employee works in a
walled Enclosure within whose bounds lie suf-
ticient explosives to shatter the mighty pyra-
mid of Gizeh to a shapeless mass of rubble.
The worker in this place is under stricter
supervision than the Kafir in the South Al

A few days ago a vet

started across a passing
track to make a coupling.
His foot caught in a

riedly tugged and pulled
with all his strength to
loosen his foot. AS the

1t failed him now. The
car was now close unon

work are those Of the steeple-jack. Moving
like a fly along the face of a factory chimney,
a water tower or a church spire, his daily
bread is gained at the daily risk of life and
limb. The fear of high places is not his par
ticular dread, as that is all in a days work,
but every time he is hoisted aloft he CANDLES
with his life on the strength Of a strand of
cable and the GOODNESS of his assistant.
1t is the assistants duty to raise and lower
and shift the man in the chairs position as he
moves a.p and down and sidewise on the face
OF the building upon which they are engaged.
Many wonderful escapes are recorded in the
annals OF these workers between earth and
sky. Only a few days ago a steeple,jack,
working on a factory chimney in North st.
Louis, saved himself when his tackle gave
way by grasping a hook at the end of a rope
suspended from the chimney top and arrested
his fall in midair. where he chung until res

Have you ever noticed the ~window-washer
going about his business, Is or 20 stories
above the street level? He stands on a mar
row ledge and his work compels him to lean
far back over the crowded street, many feet
below, as he reaches upward to clean the
upper part of the glass. A slip of the foot
on the wet stone of the ledge, a single
stumble and the crowd of downtown shoppers
would see him dashed to his death on the
paving at their feet.
Volumes have been written concerning the
terrible Understanding Implements of modern
warfare, but the government statistics, COM
piled by the interstate commerce commission,
show that the railroad switchman's work is
more dangerous than that of the professional
soldier. A military movement in modern war
fare lasts only a few months at the longest,
but the switchman's campaign is every work
ing day. In a great terminal the noise OF tug
ging engines and rolling coaches and box cars
never ceases. On the procession of cars NOV
ing steadily in and out depends the business
activity of the city and it's surrounding ter
ritory.

Files Acceetaace.

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo-, Feb. 15--on the
grounds that the wsters-P4erce on COM
pany of. Missouri has not complied with the
custer decree Of the supreme court Of the
state in an answer filed this morning
Attorney General Major this afternoon
filed with the court a suggestion that the
custer be made effective against the con-
Germ. This course was agreed upon after
conference between the attorney general
Governor Hadley and former Assistant At
torney General John Kennish, who assisted
Hadley in the original presentation OF the
case The action OF the attorney general
will be based upon the fact that the COM
pany has not furnished satisfactory evil
dence that it has severed relations with the
Standard OIL company. The conference be-
tween the state officials followed a talk
between them and Henry s. Priest. attor-
ney for the company.
Henry e. Priest OF st. Louis and H. Clay
Pierce. chairman of the board of the Wat
ers-P1erce Oh company, today filed in the
supreme court OF Missouri an acceptance of
the terms imposed upon the company by the
recent custer order OF the court. The fine
OF $4,000 was paid
The custer decree provided that the com
pany must show TO the court that IT had
severed all connection with the Standard
OIL company anu statement 10 this effect
may yet be coquIred by the court.
Judge Priest, however. said that he be-
lieved todsys action covered the case so
far as the Missouri corporation was con-
cerned and said he did not know of any
thing more that could be done.
Payment OF the fine was made by
tender of a certified check for $4,000. The
acceptance is silent so far as showing
reorganization independent of the Stand
ard Oil company is concerned and there is
no showing that the New Jersey corpora
rion does not still own 90 per cent of the
Waters-Pierce stock.
II is said that the Waters-Pierce com
pany will ask the court to aid it in carry
ing out the reorganization order portion of
the decree.
II this is done a contest between the
wsters-Pierce and Standard Oh Company of
Indiana is almost sure TO result the latter
concern having petitioned the court 20 have
the majority stock in the Waters-Pierce
company. together with other Standard oil
property in the state. placed in the hands
OF trustees representing the company and
the state. This plan is not acceptable to
the Waters-Pierce interests, who assert
that Il would not free them from the dom
inatiOn OF the Standard OIL company as
required by the original decree in custer.
