many years, as we'll as the most
erratic. It's sudden shifts from
cold to warm, It's tremendous

have made 1t remarkable. That
the climate of the eastern states
has been undergoing a change in
the past ten years is an assertion
made by scientists, and 1t seems

and that Is coffee does hurt them and

weeks ago.

worse and finally had such alarming
sensations In my head sometimes
causing me to fall DOWN that | az

coffee and began TO use Postum in its

MAYOR AND HAARER WILL TRY
TO ELIMINATE CEDAR PAVING
Will Have Backing Of Board Of Com
merce in Movement.-D. p. w.
Commissioner Quizzed.

Mayor Breitmeyer and ID. p W.
Commissioner Haarer will soon begin
movement which will tend to the
elimination of cedar block paving In
Detroit within a few years. In this
they will have the backing OF the
Board OF Commerce.
The mayor, In his inaugural mes
sage, declared that cedar pavements
are out-of-date and should not be laid
hereafter. but he has been too busy
since then to carry the matter furth-
er. Aldermen have brought In reso-
lutions for new paving this year. with
cedar specified as the material, just
as has been the custom In the past.
A committee from the Board OF
Commerce called upon Haarer, Satur-
day afternoon, and asked number OF
questions tending TO draw out infor-
nation as to the work OF the depart
ment. One OF these questions was as
10 whether IL would not be better TO
lay more expensive first pavements
and then pay for them by longer-term
paving bonds so as 20 distribute the
burden upon the taxpayers Commits
sioner Haarer assented TO this.
In response to other queries, he told
the committee that he has been re-
pairing payements since the frost was
out OF the ground, has borrowed about
sz5o,o00 against appropriations due
July l, to resurface and repave streets
and is satisfied that the ID. U. r. is
doing its work as rapidly as it~ean.
He told the committee that he cannot
use any more men on paving work,
cannot resurface Lafayette Boulevard
until the park department has torn
up the surface and repaired the con-
crete and cannot work night gangs on
construction work because poor sievels
would be the result from imperfect
lighting

CIRCUS DAY IN COUNTRY.
It's Red-Letter Occasion for Farmers
and Storekeepers.

ffe-press- representative of-thc
Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on
Earth. which will give two perform
ances here next Thursday, tells an in
teresting story of circus day in an ag-
ricultural center.
1t is a family day with most fami-
lies and a shopping day with all
hurried through, breakfast is had. the
children are perked up, the teams
hitched, the dog driven back TO the
house, and the big wagon with It's
happy load is rolling downward.
Circus day is the biggest shopping
day OF the year. No one ever heard
storekeeper complain that a circus
took too much money out OF his town
In one day. The money the circus
took was only a fraction of the money
IL brought into the town. The stores
got the bulk OF Ii ALL and for what
the circus received 1t gave good value,
because II lifted everybody out OF the
grind for one bright and long remem-
bered day: II heartened them all up
for the working days to follow, and
the children got out Of 1t not only
enough to talk about for many a
month 10 come, but bit OF practical
education In natural history that
couldn't have been had in any other
way.
Love OF the circus Is Unborn: II lasts
while life lasts. To the towns people
young, old and neutrality-suspicious.
day is the most eagerly anticipated
holiday OF the entire year; men have
enjoyed IT since the days when they
used TO carry water for the elephants
or crawl under the tents TO see the
wondrous shows of their youth Cir.
Gus day is always an event and al
ways will be. There is something
about this wholesome sort of enter
tainment that is different from any
other form OF diversion. Whatever 1t
is. there is a fascination that. catches
