AN OLD TIMER


A woman who has used Postum

from experience the wisdom of using
Postum in place of coffee IL one values

AT the time Postum was irst put
on the market / was suffering from

or coffee. Finally / decided TO take
his advice and try Postum. / got a
package and had it carefully prepared.

My husband had been drinking cot

his nerves terribly. and I persuaded
him to shift to Postum. II was easy
to get him to make the change. for
the Postum Is so delicious. Ii GER
tainly worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate. but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach.
ITO make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum

easy MONEY"
The Price for Ii Must He Paid In
Loss OF Self-Respect

The Price for Ii Must He Paid I'm
Loss OF SeIf-Respect.
There Is no more pernicious sophis-
try than this widely prevalent theory
about easy money" for it strikes
human nature at its weakest point.
says a writer on the Kansas City
Journal. People who could not be
tempted to commit a crime will lump
at the chance to get something for
nothing, and many who might not be
too scrupulous but would shrink from
a heinous offense are no proof against
the seductions of easy money" The
psychology of this weakness may or
may not go back to the garden of
Eden and the primal curse of toll.
Certain 1t is that there is an inherent
revolt In human nature against the
drudgery OF earning bread in the
sweat OF ones brow. Normally con-
structed people combat this rebellious
spirit through the human affections
which ennoble toll and consecrate the
hardest tasks to the comfort of loved
ones. But there are few people who
work very hard for the sheer love OF
working hard.
Easy money" is the dearest and
hardest In the world; it is gained at
a fearful price. whether 1t is the booty
Of the highwayman or the unearned
and ill-gotten gains of the dishonest
man of business. The human law may
not reach the sinner. rich or poor; the
penitentiary doors may not swing shut
on either. But the price must be paid
all the same-paid In the coin of the
soul. in peace OF mind and loss of self
respect, and in thousand ways in
which our human nature, even while
It yields to evil yearns for the eternal
good and stretches its hands upward,
no matter how low 1t may have fallen.

HOW NOT TO PLANT TREES.
Experiments I'm England show Mis-
taken of the Old Method.

Experiments I'm England show Mis-
takes of the Old Method.
It is an article OF faith among fruit
growers that fruit trees must be plant
ed in a certain special way il success
is to be obtained. says London Nature.
The soil is properly prepared, large
hole is made. wide, but not deep, the
roots are carefully spread out in all
directions and arranged near the sur
face. with slight upward bearing at
the ends. The soil is filed in with
many precautions. Small quantities
OF the finer soil are first worked in
among the roots, hollow places caused
by archings in the stouter roots are
filled up, and then the rest of the soil
is put in, trodden carefully down, and
the whole left to the compacting in
fuence OF the rain. The tree is sup
ported by stakes until it Is sufficiently
firmly established.
All this. according to the report be
fore us, is precisely wrong; it is all
exactly the opposite of what IL should
be. The proper way to plant tree is
to make a small hole, TO double the
roots up anyhow, and stick the tree
in, throw in the soil and ram ii down
as hard as if one were fixing a gats
post. The experiments seem convinc-
ing enough. They have been made at
Woburn, Harpenden, Bedford, various
places in Cambridgeshire and In Dew

all the elaborate detail of the ordinary
way OF planting was simply waste

ence by what criterion the trees are
judged; planting in this new way
gives better results than planting in
the orthodox fashion
When a Few fact is established by
scientific experiment that no longer
fits in with the Old practical formula
which has hitherto suficed to cover
all cases. there is invariably a cry
raised about the antagonism OF theory
Tor science) and practice. This has
duly happened in the present case.
But no practical man has been able to
give any reason for the faith that is in
him beyond the fact that il is sane

appear to be first serious experiments
on the subject. and they do not seem
to be Initiated by any constant error.

ramming has led TO a copious develop
ment of fibrous roots. Direct expert
ments showed that the fibrous and
small roots produced in the nursery
before lifting play no great part as
roots during the subsequent life of
the tree; the important point is TO
induce fresh root forpation and ram
ming Gees this more rapidly than The
orthodox method of planting. No
harm was done, and sometimes even
good resulted, when the old roots were
deliberately damaged before planting.

PO|iiC1| Comment.
Our ship-Building Industry.

In the month of April there were
ia new vessels built in the United
States. entitled TO fly the American
flag. Most of them were small craft
of no Importance, while eight were
of $500 tons burden or better. These
represented one months increment in
the nations merchant marine. The
significant feature of the figures. how
ever, is the fact that seven Of the
eight were built on the Great Lakes
while the one that was built on tide
water was not equal in tonnage-carry-
ing capacity to any one of the inland
boats.
1t thus appears that tho ship-build
ing industry is moribund in America,
save on the Great Lakes, where it
thrives and grows. keeping pace with
the expansion of our inland commerce
on these matchless waterways. The
Cleveland Leader. which supplies
these figures, exclaims:
us it to be wondered at that the
movement which centers in the Mer-
chant Marine League for the restora-
ton of the American flag to its old
place on the high seas, has powerful
and ardent support in the lake region
This section cannot rest under the
humiliating contrast between the
splendid growth and development OF
American shipping on these inland
seas, and its poor showing in the deep
water traffic with Europe, Asia and
South America"
1t is evident that the fault does not
lie with American genius for ship
building nor with American enter
prise. The fault is embedded in our
absurd laws, and our failure to adopt
the devices other nations use for the
stimulation of their merchant ma
rines. 1t is true that the higher cost
of labor and materials in this country
makes ship-building in competition
with foreign yards difficult The gov
eminent, however. might aid the in
dustry to the extent of equalizing this
difference. Meanwhile. the restric-
lions on American registry of foreign
built ships. having proved totally in
eficacious. should be removed.

Good Signs.

Steel, as a basic industry, is produc-
ing more signs of returning prosper
ity. A contract for So 900 tons of rails
has been placed with two subsidiary
companies of the trust by the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. Other Gould orders
amount to from $4,000 to 10000 tons.
The Chicago and Alton has closed for
5000 tons; the Northern Pacific is
said to be about to sign contracts for
$4,000 tons. About 10000 tons will
shortly be called for by the Hartman
lines; 10000 tons by the Seaboard Air
Line and 10000 for the New Haven
road.
The purchases show the reawakened
activity of the railroads and they may
be taken as virtual pledge for APP
preaching work in bridge material, car
equipment and other structural forms
used by the transportation companies
The orders for wire products are
said to reach the steel trust Offices at
an average rate of 5000 tons daily,
which is, it is declared, in excess of
manufacturing capacity.
An encouraging item in the indus
trial news is the announcement that
the Southern Pacific company has
given orders for the building of four
new steamships for the construction of
which about 10000 tons of steel will
be needed. There are rumors, accord
ing to New York newspaper, that
the Pittsburg Steamship Company is
about to buy two new lake boats
If it is true that steel reflects the
industrial condition of the country the
nation must be close to that plane
which is called normal. By the time
the tariff bill is signed the greater
number of the worries of business men
resulting from the late panic will have
been conquered.

Monument to a Priest
A movement to erect on the battle
field of Gettysburg a monument to
Rev. Father William Corby, chaplain
of the famous Irish brigade. is meet
ing with much success, Father Corby
was born in MicligaT' and was edu-
Gated at Notre Dame University, near
South Bend, Ind. He became a mem
Der of the Order of the Holy Cross,
teered his services as chaplain, as did
several of his classmates. He was as
signed to the Irish brigade. composed
of the Sixty-third, Sixty-ninth and
Eighty-eighth New York. and Penn
sylvania regiment.
Quickly he won the admiration and
loyalty of the soldiers. His virility,
his deep and vigorous sincerity made
him more than popular with those gal
liant fighters, who later achieved fame
in pany hazardous campaign and
bloody struggle.
His name is frequently mentioned
in history for his unflagging zeal in
caring, not only for the spiritual needs
of the men, but for their comfort. The
wounded, the heartsick, loved the
rugged priest, the dying intrusted to
him their messages to those back
home, and many a stricken home in
the North had reason to thank Father
Colby for the letters of sympathy and
cheer that robbed black hours of half
their pain.
The plan TO commemorate the life
and services of Father Corby is head
ed by the Gettysburg Memorial Com
mission. whose president is Gen. st.
Clair Mulholland. an officer In the
Eighty-eighth New York Infantry dur
ing the war, and therefore acquainted
with the famous priest. The statue
will be of bronze. 8 feet high, and will
represent Father Corby giving abso-
luton just before battle. The priests
figure, however, will be clad in the
uniform of captain OF the cavalry.
which was his military status. Prom
inent clergymen have lent encourage
ment to the memorial idea. 1t is
hoped that the statue will be ready
for unwilling a year from June 10.
when the great memorial arch will be
dedicated.
After the war Father Corby threw
himself with renewed vigor into his
chosen work He was twice made
president of the Notre Dame Univer-
sity, and at the time of his death, in
1897, was provincial of the Order of
the Holy Cross.
