AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum since
it came upon the market knows from
experience the wisdom of using Postum
in place of coffee if one values health
and a clear brain. She says:
AT the time Postum was first put on
the market / was suffering from nerv-
Gus dyspepsia and my physician had re-
peatedly told me not to use tea or cof-
fee Finally l decided to take his ad-
vice and try Postum. l got a package
and had it carefully prepared, finding it
delicious to the taste. So l continued
it's use and very soon its beneficial eff
fects convinced me of its value, for
got well of my nervousness and dyspep-
sia.
My husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected his
nerves terribly and I persuaded him to
shift to Postum. It was easy to get
him to make the change, for the Pos
tum is so delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach.
ITO make long story short, our en-
tire family continued to use Postum
with satisfying results. as shown in our

of Col. James Gordon of Okolona,
as United States senator from
Mississippi to succeed the late
Senator A. j. McLaurin.
The appointment is temporary.
until the legislature can elect a
senator for the unexpired term
of three yesrs and three months,
and is made with the under
standing that Senator Gordon
will not be a candidate for the
unexpired term.
The appointment came as a
surprise in political circles, as it
was generally believed that the
governor would not name a tenn
porary senator, leaving the Of
flee vacant until the legislature
takes up the question of filing
the unexpired term on the 18th
of January.
Col Gordon was likewise sur
prised when notified by the gov
ernor. He reacAed jackson Sun
day in respons@ te,a telegraph
ic summons frgm the governor,
stating that he was wanted in
Jackson on important business.
''You could have knocked me
down with a feather when the
governor said that he wanted to
make me senator, (" remarked the
gallant ex-Confederate veteran
Sunday morning. Il had no idea
what the governor wanted with
me, and to say that l was sur
prised is expressing it very
mildly"
A commissio4 for the new SEN
ator was made out in the office of
the secretary of state at 11:30
O'Clock, signed by the governor,
and placed in Col. Gordon's
hands. He wSReaye for Wash
ton during the latter part of the
week to take the oath of office.
While it is not expected that
Senator Gordon will serve more
than two ~ three weeks, there
is a strong probability of legis-
lative deadlock, owing to the
large number of candidates who
are being brought forward, and
it is not improbable tnat he
might serve a year or more, in
event the legislative deadlock re-
mains unbroken.
Col. Gordon is rs years of age.

COTTON MARKET is
HIGHEST OF SEASON
80 POINTS UP SINCE HOLIDAYS
FOREIGN MILL TAKIheS ARE HEAVY AND
DEMAND EVERYWHERE FOR COTTON
is IMPOSSIBLE TO SATISFY

The cotton market yesterday
added ten points more to a twen-
ty point rise of Tuesday. putting
on $1.50 a bale to prices since the
markets closed last Friday for
the holidays. This makes figures
some forty points above the previ-
Gus record price of the season
and only about a cent below that
of the Sully boom. With that
exception the cotton market now
is the highest since the war.
Over private wires the opinion
was expressed yesterday by lead
ing exchange brokers that at no
time this season had the market
closed with as much strength as
yesterday. The firm showing is
attributed to heavy buying by
mills which are evidently taking
"a different view of the situation.
Activity in spot cotton and the
sharp advance in the price of the
staple is taken as giving justif-
cation and solidity to the advance
in futures.
Yesterdays closing figures
were: New York, May, 1926,
