Wild Conroy promptly took a slump
when he returned to Washington and
failed to do the batting expected. He
braced up somewhat in the last two
games with the Browns and did not
hesitate 10 lambast the ball Conroy
should bat regularly between .24O and
.2bO, and that, with his baserunning and
headwork. would entitle him to take
his salary every first and fifteenth OF

science He is a more valuable addition

Washington, Sept. 3.-The farmer.
OF the United States are NATURALLY
very much interested in the census OF
agriculture and farms that will be
taken April 10, 1910, as one Of the
subjects to be covered by the thir-
teeuth decennial census. Many are
showing their interest by writing to
the census bureau for the purpose of
making comments upon census in
formation regarding agriculture as
presented in the past. The director
OF the census welcomes all such sug-
gestions and gives them careful con-
sideration, as he is anxious to have
the results of the coming census cor
respond as nearly as may be to the
desires of the people most interested.
In addition TO studying carefully
these Suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative requested certain
professors OF economies aud agricul-
ture of the more important UNIVERSE
ties of the country. and other persons
who have specialized in agricultural
matters. to come ito Washington for
a short time for the purpose OF study
Ing carefully and criticlsing plans
now under way. Especially is IL de-
sired to obtain their opinion relative
TO the questions TO be asked and
their form, as the results to be OBJ
talned will so largely depend upon
the character OF the schedule and the
manner in which the questions are
propounded These suggestions, COM
ing from outside experts, are prov
ing to be OF great value, and II is be-
lieved that In consequence of this
preliminary study more valuable and
accurate data will be obtained than
could otherwise be secured. After

1T 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 man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story:
II was for ~ years clerk in store
working actively and drank coffee
all the time without much trouble
until after l entered the telegraph
service.
There l got very little exercise
and drinking strong coffee, my
nerves grew unsteady and my stom-
ach got weak and was soon u very
sick man. l quit meat and tobacco
and in fact l stopped eating every
thing which / thought might AFFECT
me except coffee, but still my condi-
tion grew worse and ! was all but a
wreck.
~ finally quit coffee and COM
menced to use Postum a few years
ago and l am speaking the truth
when ] say, my condition commenced
to improve Immediately and today
am well and can eat anything
want without any bad effects, all due
to shifting from coffee to Postum.
IL told my wife today ! believed
could digest a brick if | had a cup
of Postum to go with IL.

tons boiling it full 20 minutes and
