PRESSED HARD
Coffee'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 one of the southern states says:
My mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker,
had been troubled with her heart for a
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an off,
cial visit to distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO well pleased
with 1t, 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 its
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
family, but not in so marked a de-
gree as in the case of my mother, as
she was a victim of long standing"

BELDING,
NIGHT COLLEGES.

The trustees of the City college have
resolved to establish next fall night
college FOR bright boys who must work
I'm the daytime for a living. 1t is an
admirable innovation, remarks the
New York World. The old-fashioned
American college course was laid out
upon the analogy of seven years spent
in learning a trade. The student was
four years apprenticed TO learning to
become bachelor. Three years more
he practiced what he had learned, like
a journeyman in a trade, and then he
was fully fledged master of arts IN
course His four years in college
allowed generous vacations to teach IN
winter and work in the bayfield, In
summer Under the modern point sys-
tenn, with the aid of summer sessions,
any bright boy can complete college
course in three years. One year more
in residence gives him a masters de-
gree. In a night college student can
easily in four years, by reciting two
hours every evening for 46 weeks, pre-
sent the equivalent of the minimum
cellege requirement. BY reciting
three hours each night except Satur-
day the minimum college require
ments could be met within the college
terms; or with night summer sessions
in three years.

Overloaded Wareroom on Sixth

Absolutely without warning and
with rending and crashing of tim

floor flying for their lives, a section
of flooring in one of the main build
ings of the Peninsular Stove Co, De-
troit, gave way, carrying with the
wreckage at least two men, who
have thus far been rescued, and pos
sibly more who are still unaccounted

The building in which the accident
occurred was used as an Office build,

the six floors, stoves were piled rows
deep. The building contained practic-

1909 ard 1910.
The first floor to cave in was the
sixth. From there the chaotic mass
of timbers, stoves, crates and stove
parts crashed through to the base
ment. Wreckage is piled as high as
the second floor. The basement and
first floor are full and the second floor
is strewn with broken stoves and tim
bers.
A gas pipe in the basement, which
burst, started a fire which crept
steadily through the ruins. The build.
ings were never in danger from the
blaze, which was extinguished in
about half an hour, but fear was en-
tertained that the workmen in the
wreck might be cremated before they
could be rescued

the Peninsular Stove Co. for the past

been rebuilt several times. Workmen
say that the timbers in the basement
were comparatively new.

killing industry, the rodents being re

the value of their skins for certain
uses. These skins are utilized for
bookmaking and making photograph
