The annual commencement exer-
cises of Rock Island high school were
held last evening at the Illinois thea
tire. The theatre was filed with an
audience of relatives and friends. In
the center of the stage suspended
from the ceiling was the inscription,
"R. I. H. s., 1870" with the class
motto, NE Cede Mails" underneath.
For a background for the class there
was large American flag. The stage
was neatly decorated with palms and
ferns.
The invocation was given by Rev.
F. E. Shut, pastor of Spencer Memo

Fl. E. Brown Mr. Brown introduced
the main speaker of the evening, DR..
Gustav Andreen, president of Angus
tana college. who took for his text,
East and west-Home is Best" in
which he reviewed the earlier history
of the world, showing the struggles of
the fathers, and pointing out the COM
parative opportunities of the youth of
today and that of older times. In con-
clusion, DR. Andreen said: You are
in a special sense prepared for life's
work. You have been taken up on the
mountain and shown the perspective
of history May you become active
forces for uplifting the community in
which you live. You have received
heritage spiritually and materially,
which makes it sure that your sur
roundings are more favorable than any
the fathers ever had. Join hands to
exclude and eliminate all those ele-
ments which are dangerous to a COM
munity. Thank God that you have
good homes in most beautiful sur
roundings, and in His strength say,
Home is best our home, our COM
munity shall be the best on this
earth"

All day there were vicious attacks
on the parentage of the bill, and the
striking note in the bitter speeches
made by those who have opposed the
measure in its original form, was
the expression of belief that 1t was

Watch Rate Increases.
The recent rate increases filed by
the railroads with the interstate

passage of the bill by the senate and
its arrival at the conference stage.
AS amended by the senate all rates

their reasonableness resting upon the
carriers. But under the provisions
of the bill as it goes to conference

roads, according to the best under
standing in Washington, announced
their increases at time when, I'M
der other circumstances, they would
have been disposed not to arouse the
country to agitation over the raised
cost of transportation.
The railroads did not anticipate in
junction proceedings such as the de-
partment of justice has inaugurated;
they were mindful, however, of the
probability that after the date the
new law goes into effect, all increases
in rates could be suspended for
nearly year by order of the inter-
state commerce commission, pending
investigation as to their reasonable
ness.
Experiments in Paper Making.
Washington, June 4.-For the
purpose of enabling the secretary of
agriculture to conduct experiments
in paper making, the house yesterday
adopted an amendment offered by
Mr.. Mann of Illinois, to the sundry
civil bill, carrying out an appropria-
ton of $4,000. Under this provi-
sion the secretary of agriculture is
to test such plants and woods as
may be suitable for making paper"

THE FIRST TASTE

If parents realized the fact that cof-

especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when l was child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals l
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water,
And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. l remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee SO
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground it in the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
But 1t did not taste right and they.

AT night. after having coffee for
supper, could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak

"A friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and l did not like
1t at first, but later when boiled good

not give up Postum for the best coffee
