The front yard fence is famous
council place on pleasant days. Maybe
to chat with some one along the street,
or for friendly gossip with next door
neighbor. Sometimes it is only small
talk but other times neighbor has
something really good to offer.
An old resident of Baird, Texas, got
some mighty good advice this way
once He says:
Drinking coffee left me nearly dead
with dyspepsia, kidney disease and
bowel trouble, with constant pains in
my stomach, back and side, and so
weak / could scarcely walk.
"One day was chatting with one of
my neighbors about my trouble and
told her / believed coffee hurt me.
Neighbor said she knew lots of people
to whom coffee was poison and she
pleaded with me to quit 1t and give

vice right away but tried a change of
climate which did not do me any good.
Then dropped coffee and took up
Potsum.
My improvements began immediate
ly and / got better every day l used
Postum.
"My bowels became regular and in
two weeks all my pains We're gone.
Now am well and strong and can eat
anything want to without distress.
All Of this is due to my having quit
coffee, and to the use of Postum regu
larly.
"My son who was troubled with indi
gestion thought that if Postum helped
me so, it might help him. 1t did, too
and he is now well and strong again

That Ltsgue Meeting.

This mornings Quincy Wing: On
next Wednesday at Hannibal the
officers and directors of the Cen
trail Association will hold meeting to
dispose Of q number of matters If i'm
portiGce that will be brought NJ ut
that time. It is believed that the
question Of salary limit and number
of players will be discussed and it
seems that some of the league direc-
tors favor following the suit of the
Three-Eye league and increasing the
limit as we'll as the number OF play
8ers allowed each team. There will
be strong opposition to both proposals
from more than one quarter and it is
very likely that lively session will
be held at Hannibal. The matter of
protested games will be brought up
at this meeting in all probability.
Members of the Sport Writer'S Asso-
citation will also be present at the
meeting in Hannibal as guests OF the
league. The usual frills of league
meeting will be put on by the Han
nibal association, including the GUS
tomary feed with the regular exchange
of post prandial bon mots and love
speeches.

He also expressed himself as being
surprised at the manner in which the
railroads had DISTRACTED the channel
in places, especially In the manner I'M
which they have driven piling into the
bed Of the river at the bridges and
then cut them off below tle water. He
suggested that county authorities and
others at once take up this mater with
the uperintendents OF the various
roads and have the piling removed, as
they are positively dangerous and the
roads have no right to leave them in
the river under any circumstances.
Lew w. Anderson, one Of the mem.
bers Of the River Front Commission,
was present at the meeting and turned
over to Major Meigs a number OF re.
ports that he has received and had
prepared, and he will also make a re.
port, coming from the Commercial
club and the city as whole, to the
authorities regarding the river, and
asking that 1t be declared navigable
Congressman James w. Good was also
present, and 1t is evident that he will
do everything in his power to have tae
river improved as far as possible.

Captain Stutsman is probably the
only member of the University OF
Iowa track team who will enter the
Chicago conference. The showing of
the other athletes at the state meet

throwing the missile around the 100
foot mark this spring. He won the
event at Des Moines with a 119 foot
throw. Will Riley, the veteran Iowa
miller who collapsed and was in a SER

he would be able to return to Iowa
