face of great financial obstacles, Mr..
Rogers returned 10 his home in New York.
His death coming so soon after the great.
est achievement of his active business life,
and before he saw the fruit OF his labor
in the development Of the section served by
his road, is regarded by his friends as a're-
grettable ending of a brilliant career in
the financial world.
Foresaw Sudden Death.
Mr.. Rogers arose as he usually did about
s o'clock. At 6 O'Clock ne complained of
feeling Ill and a physician was hurriedly
summoned. His heart action was weak
and it was apparent he was suffering from
a stroke of apoplexy. In spite of all that
could be done for him this morning Mr..
Rogers sank rapidly and the end came
peacefully at Z o'clock. This was the sec
ond Illness Of this nature suffered by Mr..
Rogers, the first having occurred In July
1907.
Following the seizure of apoplexy in 1907,
Mr.. Rogers began putting his affairs in
order and he has been out of the stock
market entirely for months. His interests
in all of the. corporations with which he
had been identified have been placed in
other hands during the last year, This
step was taken in order to safeguard his
properties in the event of sudden death.

SOME HARD KNOCKS
Woman Gets Rid of Coffee Heart"

The injurious action of Coffee on the
heart of many persons is well known
by physicians to be caused by caf-
feline. This is the drug found by chem
lists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered a long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up cot
fee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
MY heart was so weak it could not
do its work properly. My husband
would sometimes have to carry me
from the table, and it would seem that
1 would never breathe again.
THE doctor told me that coffee was
causing the weakness of my heart He
said 1 must stop it, but it seemed
could not give it up until I was down
in bed with nervous prostration.
For eleven weeks I lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and 1 quit coffee
and started new and right Slowly
got well. Now do not have any head
aches, nor those spells with weak
heart We know it is Postum that
helped me- The DR.. said the other day
I never thought you would be what
you are I used to weigh 80 pounds
and now 1 weigh 15S.
Postum has done much for me and
I would not go back to coffee again

AS to the Hessian FIy.

The Hessian fly is a German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. 1t is long, rangy
fly with bite like a steel trap, and it
lays pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate of 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to glass inkweH, but it's
favorite dish is the double neck of a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fly paper without
crooking its toes. and is proof against
rough on rats. the daisy fly killer. and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of its whiskers. If it ever fas-
