POSTUM FOR MOTHERS
The Drink That Nourishes and Sup
plies Food for Mother and Child.

my husband had been unable to
drink coffee for several years, SO we
were very glad to give Postum a trial
and when we understood that long
boiling would bring out the delicious
favour, we have been highly pleased
with it.
1T is one Of the finest things for
nursing mothers that l have ever seen.
1t keeps up the mothers strength and
increases the supply of nourishment
for the child if partaken of freely. I
drank 1t between meals instead of wa
ter and found it most beneficial.
"Our ~five-year-old boy has been very
delicate since birth and has developed
slowly. He was white and bloodless.
[ began to give him Postum freely and
you would be surprised at the change.
When any person remarks about the
great Improvement, we lever fail to
tell them that we attribute his gain
In strength and general health, to the
free use Of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.
Il have always cautioned friends to
whom I have spoken about Postum, to
follow directions in making it, for
unless 1t is boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes, it is quite tasteless. On the
other hand, when properly made. it is
very delicious. | want to thank you
for the benefits we have derived from
the use Of your Postum"

SPRING BLIZZARD
RUINS FRUIT CROP
Two-DAY SNOW STORM. FOL-
w BY FROST, RACED IN
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
MANY MILLIONS DAMAGE DONE
Temperature Makes Low Record In
seventy-Four Years-storm Ex-
tends From Great Lakes to
Middle Arkansas.

st. Louis.-Thirty million dollars is
the rough estimate made Of the loss
In this years fruit crop by the cold
temperatures and blizzardous condi-
tons which obtained throughout the
Upper Mississippi alley from Friday
night to Monday morning, and ex-
tended as far east as Ohio, and as far
south as the middle of Arkansas.
During the 48 hours, the weather
had changed from that of spring and
sunshine to midwinter and snow and
ice.
The st. Louis weather bureau re-
ported Saturday as the coolest Of any
day later than April 20 in IA years.
The temperature at s a. m. was 1874
degrees. 1t rose to 80 a z p. m, but
again fep during the night snow
storm.
Fears are expressed by conserva-
tive observers in Missouri, Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin,
Indiana and Michigan that small
fruits, with the exception of late
strawberries, will be a total loss.
Some scientists in horticulture hope
that If there is a rising temperature
and no sunshine for SO hours a fair
percentage of buds may survive, but
they admit that they are almost hop
ing against hope.
The low temperature was distribute,
ed all yer the storm area. Among
the reports of temperatures below the
freezing mark from other cities that
were received we're: Galesburg, ILL.,,
Is above zero; Dubuque, Ia, 20 above
zero; U~nionville, Mo-, 26 above zero;
Milwaukee, Wis, 20 above zero; Chi
cago, ILL.,, rs above zero.
The average temperature through
out Iowa was "a above, and in Missou-
ri and Kansas, 80 above. The storm
receded to the southeast slowly, but
less severe.
Practically the entire grape crop of
Michigan presents only a forlorn hope
of recovering enough from the storm
to bear a crop, and it's sister belt in
northern Indiana is in a similar posi-
ton. All hope is gone. Apple trees
in the southern part of Illinois were
damaged.
Grain crops are believed to be safe
in most instances. In some localities
wheat and sprouts have been frozen
to the ground, but the roots have not
been damaged, according to the state
corn have been planted, and perma-
nent damage is not expected to this
grain, even where the sods have
%sprouted.
Tokepa, Kas., reports freezing
weather all over the state, probably
fatal to all small fruits and to thou
sands of apple trees. Des Moines
fears the loss in Iowa may reach $10,-
100000. Secretary Greene Of the
state horticultural department believes
there will yet be a quarter Of a crop
of apples, but many nurserymen de-
clare apples, cherries, plums, peaches
and pears are hopelessly bTlghted.
There Is hope for Strawberries,
grapes, blackberries, raspberries and
currants.
Madison, Wis, sends a report that
practically all small fruits and early
vegetables are killed, and that thou
sands of trees may have been killed.
Secretary True Of the state board of
agriculture fears the worst.

Redding, Conn.-"Mark Twain" is
dead. This time the repart is not ex-
aggerated. The author of the worlds
most famous jest at life's inaccuracies
has passed from them. The end came
quietly at his country home lear here.
Surrounded by his few remaining
intimate relations, the great American
humorist passed quietly away at
"Stormfield," his country home, near
Redding, at half-past 6 o'clock Thurs
day evening.
The end came after several hours
Of Inconsistencies. Angina pectoris
was the cause, according to physi-
clans, but those who know the sorrow
and shock that had come into Mr..
Clemens life since the death of his
daughter say it was a broken heart.
With him in his last hours of cor
seriousness were his daughter and her
husband, Mr.. and Mrs. Ossip Gabrilo-
witch; e. E. Loomis, vice-president Of
the d., L. & W., and his wife, who
was Mr.. Clemens favorite niece; Jar
Wis Langdon, Albert Bigelow Paine,
his secretary; Doctors Quintard and
Halsey and two nurses.
Rallied After Nights Rest.
The first report from Stormfeld
Thursday morning was optimistic, for
Mr.. Clemens rallied sufficiently to be
able to recognize his wife's nephew
and his niece. He seemed to be in
good spirits, for he questioned Mr.
Paine about several manuscripts. He
was, however, unable to talk very
much and had to write a request to
the nurses for his glasses. When he
was given them he picked up a book,
which for many years had been one
Of his favorites, Carlyle's French
Revolution" and read several pages
Of it. This exertion was too much
for his ~fast-failing strength and he
relapsed into a comatose condition,
which verged into complete neon
seriousness, from which he never re-
covered.
Hope Ended Wednesday Night.
All hope of a recovery was aban.
doned Wednesday night, when it was
evident to the physicians that the pa
tent gradually was losing ground.
He had been conscious through vir-
tually all Of his illness and had had
considerable knowledge of his condi-
ton and of the fight that was in
progress.
His spirits kept up to the last and
ever Thursday he tried to joke a little
with those about him, remarking that
he was thinking well as ever" The
physicians scarcely expected that he
would live through Wednesday night,
but he dropped off to sleep. The a
ly morning hours gave him the best
sleep he had had in some days and he
woke much refreshed.
Soon after Doctor Halsey, knowing
that the end was near, summoned Mr..
and Mrs. Gabrilowitch. MI. Clemens
died in the room in which he has done
most Of his writing during the last
three years.
Here, propped up in his bed with
volumes of smoke issuing from his CT
gar, his pen had made the material
which lightened hearts wherever his
works are known, had lightened all
save his. For, with the death of his
close friend, Henry H. Rogers, and of
his daughter Jean, whom he discov-
cred dead in her bath, he was strick-
en- in a way which only his speech to
Mr.. Paine, at the time of the death
Of Richard Watson Glider and Mr..
Laffan, car show.
How fortunate they are" said he.

to me"

never wrote a line that a faith

position was, like that of Joel
Chandler Harris, unique not only
among American men of letters,
but throughout the literary world.
He was not only a great humorist,
but a great philosopher and his
writings form one Of the chief as
sets Of the worlds achievements,
of which we have a right, as a
nation, to be generally proud.
