Brunswick and Freeport people have
been hearing for several weeks that
the road might be either sold or dis
the story because surface indications
are that the road is a paying PROPOSE
ton during the summer. To further
discredit the story is the fact that

owned by the road. has recently been
leased for the season to Boston and
New York parties. who intended to
operate it the coming season.

GAS FACTORIES
In People Who Do Not Know How to
Select Food and Drink Properly.

On the coffee question a lady says:
II used to be so miserable after
breakfast that did not know how to
get through the day. Life was bur-
den to me. When l tried to sleep
WAS miserable by having horrible
dreams followed by hours of wakeful-
ness. Gas would rise on my stomach
ana | would bclch almost continually.
Then every few weeks l would have
Il long siege of sick headaches. I tried
a list of medicines and physicians
without benefit.
FINALLY. | concluded to give up my
coffee and tea altogether and use
Postum. The first cup was failure
1t was wishy -washy and l offered to
give the remainder of the package to
anyone who would take it.
Il noticed later on in one of the ad-
vertisements that Postum should be
boiled at least Is minutes to make it
good. l asked the cook how she made
it and she said. Just the same as
did tea, being careful not to let it
steep too long.
Il read the directions and concluded
Postum had not had fair trial. SO
we made a new lot and boiled it Is
to 70 minutes That time it came to
the table different beverage and was
SO delicious that we have been using
it ever since.
My sick headaches left entirely as
did my sleepless nights, and am now

The Democratic proposition is that
whatever is added to the tariff is paid

This Senate" declared Gore in dra-

constituted himself foreman of this

Gore mentioned shoes. hats, shirts,
clothing, and other articles of particu-

be sold at an agreed price.
