PRESSED HARD.
CoTGe's Weight on. Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in North Carolina says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for number of years, and complained
of that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago, was making an
official visit to a distant part of the.
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants Of the place. I noticed
a somewhat peculiar favour of the cot
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with It, that after
the meal was over, / bought pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal.
The whole family liked it so well. that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but We noticed that after using
Postum for a short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam
lily but not in SO marked degree as
in the case Of ny mother, as she was
rfctim of long standing"

FOR BETTER WARDENS,
Notable Improvement in Game Depart
nent Is Looked for Under Ricke-
mans Administration.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. ii Special. !
Notable improvement in the efficiency
and personnel of the game warden de-
partment is looked for under the super
vision of Chief Game Warden George
W, Rickeman, which already has ac-
complished significant results Quite a
number Of changes have been made
quietly and unostentatiously in the per-
sonnet, taking principally into account
the testimony at the senatorial investiga-
ton last winter. and several vacancies
will be filled soon. There will be a civil
service examination for candidates for
game warden positions on October =, and
there seems to be every disposition on the
part of the chief game warden to CO.
operate with the civil service commission
i'll Upbuilding his department. There is
Il noticeable decrease in the amount of
pressure of a political nature brought to
bear on the department, and that is con-
Sidered one of the most significant sig nS
of IN improvement. +. e. DOty. secre-
tary of the civil service commission, be-
lieveS that the staff of Wardens retained
higher grade of men, due largely to the
fact that the position is now more at
tractive to men who are willing to do
their duty as game WardenS and who
refuse to use their position to push the
political fortunts of candidates for office.
There also is prospect of an increase in
the salaries of wardens from $3.50 to SIS
Il day and expenses.
