The Temps characterizes the address
as pre-eminentiy republican, and
says it shows Mr.. Taft purposes to
make great fight for greater federal
authority on truly federal questions, es-
pecially the procuring of national cor

Those who. are more fortunate in

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 a distant part of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the cot
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 a 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.
Il 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 well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II 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 victim of long standing"

far short of true reunion as swal-
low is from composing a summer it
was reluctantly decided to have no
conclave, and this means likely that
the old picturesque institution has
passed for all time
Seymour, now the center of cult
waited and agricultural section, was a
dozen years ago given over to gra-
zing In 1897 it was the scene of
the largest gathering of cowboys ever
seen in this country.
The men from ranches in Texas, In
the gathering and more than 10000
cowboys and 500 Indians rallied to
the camp, and pitched their tents in
Seymour. The influx of the settlers
to the Panhandle and the ranch terri
tory of western Texas had at that
time just begun, and the advance of
the farmer, who was destined to take
the soil from the cattle grazer, was
yet in the future.
On the second night of the reunion
! Seymour saw the remarkable spec
tacle of 10000 cowboys riding back
into town, at breakneck speed each
man with his six-shooter out, and fir.
ing into the air.
The bombardment lasted for more
than an hour and the splitting of the
! flashes and the defamation of the shots
made a most thrilling effect.
So great a success was the whole
affair that it was resolved to make it
an annual event and it looked as
| though the spirit of the western life
had been saved by getting the com
rades together once more.
Real estate operators found that a
! lot of the land used for grazing could
under proper conditions be turned in
to the most fertile farm land and
yield far greater profit,

never so vivid as then. They live en-
tirely in their memories, and it is then
that you can most easily get them to
talk about their past and the simple
and poor but quiet and contented life
that they led on the plains of Lithuania
or on the shores of the Niemen.
And when you stop to think about
it you can hardly blame them for this
weakness. Chickens have been and
are part of every peasant household
in Europe. A peasant may be too poor
to own COW or pig, but he always
has a dozen or so chickens. Many of
the immigrants here went to bed with
the chickens and got up with the first
growing of the ROSTERS, as they still
do in most of the peasant villages in
the old world. The rooster, too, served
the peasants for centuries to mark the
time of the day or night long before
they ever saw or heard of such a
thing as clock.
