PRESSED HARE
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. I noticed a.
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 it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
81 had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time, she felt so
much better than she did prior to it's
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 we'll
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 de-
gree as in the case of my mother. as
she was victim of long standing"

sion There.

Red Wing, Mimi, June 15.-Red
Wing today welcomed labor's hosts.
The streets of the city and the CORR
doris of the st. James hotel, headquar-
tiers for the convention, are alive with
men wearing badges of all colors, but
each indicating that the man behind
the badge is delegate to the annual
meeting of the Federation Of Labor.
o. M. Nordley of this city, temper
airy chairman, called the meeting to
order, and Rev. E. H. Goodell offered
prayer. Mr.. Nordley, In introducing
Mayor A. P. Pierce, said it gave him
pleasure to introduce a gentleman
who was not laboring man and who
never intended to be, but a man who
had done as much for the cause of Ia
Dor as any five laboring men put to-
gether.
Mayor Pierce was greeted with a
storm of applause when he took the
platform. The cheering lasted fully
two minutes.
WELL" said Mr.. Pierce, 81 feel as
good over it as you do. We are glad

you here as our guests it is up to us

that this convention will be benefi-
cial to every one and will be open at

ployer and employee will be in at

ST. PAUL TRADE
BLAZING TRAIL
JOBBERS' SPECIAL STOPS AT
NEW TOWNS OF SO. DAKOTA
AND MONTANA.
Meet With Hearty Receptions-Home"
steader Follows Railroads and
Storekeeper Is Not Far Be-
hind in Development.

Terry, Mont, June 15.-Only one
hour behind it's schedule the St. Paul
Jobbers' Western trade-winning spe-
cial rolled into Terry at S:45 last
evening, after a busy day all the way
from Lennon, S. D., on the Pacific
coast extension Of the st. Paul road.
The gospel of ST. Paul was well and
faithfully preached all along the line
and the business men of the Sanity
City were well received. at every stop.
The towns visited today between
Lennon, S. d., and Terry, Mont,
were: Haynes, Hettinger, Reeder.
Scranton, Bowman, Rhame, Marmarth
Ismay in Montana. Splendid recep-
lions were accorded the jobbers at
every station and it is safe to say
that the already fine reputation of st.
Paul, the home market of the great
Northwest, was not only ably upheld,
but considerably added to by the days
work.
Leaving the fertile agricultural
lands of Minnesota and South Dakota
behind early in the day most of the
trip was through the rich grazing
lands of this section, vast prairie
levels and rolling hills, dotted on both
sides with grazing herds of cattle and
sheep. At some of the stations the
business men were entertained by
genuine cowboys in real feats of
broncho busting. There is ample evil
dence, however, on every hand of the
rapid passing of the picturesque cat
tleman. He is hard pressed now by
the invading "hunyak," as the home
steader is called out here, and, it may
be added in passing, the 160-acre
range disintegrator" is none too well
liked by the lords of the range, al
though the cowman and his more
lowly neighbor, the sheepman, seem
to have become reconciled to what
is unquestionably the inevitable.
There is no denying the homestead
er. He has followed the railroad into
this land of promise, and along with
him has come the storekeeper. And
speaking of the storekeeper 1t is sur
prising to note the wonderful growth
and, evident prosperity of these brand
new towns of the Pacific coast extern
sion of the st. Paul road. At Lem
mon, Hettinger, Bowman, Marmarth,
Baker, Ismay and Terry will be found
general stores, as well as those spe-
cializing on certain lines that would
do credit to any of the larger class
of the country towns in the older,
more thickly settled states. 1t is sur
prising, too, the amount of business
that they do in a years time. None
of these towns is two years old, and
yet some of the stores count their
annual gross business above the $780,
600 mark.
