years ago left off coffee and began
taking Postum. Ny stomach and

was troubled, for long time, with
occasional cramps, and slept badly.
Finally | prevailed upon him to leave
off coffee and take Postum. He had
stood out for long time, but after he

that he could sleep and that his
cramps disappeared. He was salts

A Circassian Walnut Fraud.

Instead Of being sawed into boards
and pests the walnut will hereafter be
cut into yeneers not much thicker than
piece of botting paper, and it is
only the gnarled trunks that will do
for this
Circassian walnut, which is much
used for veneers, and costs more than
the American black walnut is not near
~ 50 rich in color and grain. 1t comes
from the Ural mountains in Russia 1t
is becoming exhausted, too, and is very
high in price The wood of the gum
tree that grows in the swamps of Ar
kansas and elsewhere is used as an i'm
itation and substitute for Circassian
walnut. 1t is so nearly like it that
only an expert can detect the differ
ence. Millions of feet of gum logs are
shipped every year to Europe and there
cut into yeneers and polished and sent
back to America and sold at high
price for genuine Circassian walnut.
Kansas City is knewn all over the
world as the greatest walnut lumber
center Of America This is because of
the business done by the Penrod MILL
Its output has gone everywhere.
In hundreds of homes in Missouri
walnut wood is still used for firewood
But when a man burns walnut lum-
Der he is truly burning money, for,
while the market price of the log is
less now than it was ten years ago,
and the demand is less. there is a
time coming when the lumber will
be worth twenty times what it is now.
When the walnut trees that are now a
foot in diameter grow to several feet
through they will be worth more than
any timber that grows in North Am
erica There will always be a good
demand for timber of that size, and
the larger the tree the more value it
is.

Fortune in Old Walnut Sturnps

, ar, too Walnut logs from which seq
mants four inches thick may be cut
are scarce. and walnut logs from which
such segments twenty-six feet long
bay lie cut are almost impossible TO
get now
Another factor in the disappearance
Of walnut lumber is that mahogany
is much softer and easier to cut. The
Penrod mill can cut 80 600 feet of ma
hogany day, but it will cut only 90
600 feet Of walnut A mahogany log
will cut nearly three times as much
lumber as a walnut log OF the same
size and therefore it is more economi-
cal - cut mahogany.
Although mahogany is taking the
place Of walnut over all the world it
is not nearly so good as walnut There
Is no wood so good as walnut for fine,

son is that it is hard, it will never

Hotel Royal-Formerly known
as St. Louis Hotel and built in
1916, at a cost of 81, 100000. In
the seventies this hotel was bought
by the State and used by it until
the capitol was moved to Baton
Rouge. Statesmen, royalty and
famous men were banqueted in this
place. Henry Clay was banquet
ed here at IA cost of 500, 900, and
President William Mckinley while
Governor of Ohio. On the ground

some remembrances of ante-bellum

The weather is ideal, just like a
May day at home. Yesterday at
New Orleans we saw the French
man Paulhan Hy. He does not
speak a word of English. He con-
trolls his machine perfectly, makes
any kind of turn and can sail
high or low at will. One of the
queer things about the Mississippi
River at New Orleans is that it
runs north when it ought to run
south. Everybody gets turned
around. The battle of New Or
leans was fought four miles below
the old town, but it is north.
Bodies are buried in tombs above
the ground, and Judging from the
number of them, more people have
died than live there now.

NEW YORK PRICES
Compared With London Prices on
American Beef.

1t is interesting to compare the
prices in London with those that
New Workers are forced to pay.
The West End of London cor
responds with our Fifth avenue or
fashionable quarter. Ia that n. I.
district last week porterhouse steak
was 35 cents a pound, sirloin 80
cents pounds to IL cents more
per pound than the same beef was
selling for in London after all the
costs and charges of carrying it
5000 miles across the ocean.
They don't use shoulder or mid
die rib much on Fifth avenue.
Only the first six ribs go into the
fashionable quarters. And they
are selling at % and % cents per
pound.
But in the middle districts such
as the upper Broadway, porter
house was fetching 20 cents a
pound and sirlOin 25 cents pound.
Shoulder or middle rib was only
IA and ID cents a pound and flank
or neck 10 cents pound.
Consequently it will be seen
that the middle class in New York
were paying to 3 cents pound
more for their beef than the lords
and dukes of London.
The beef sold in London so
much cheaper than in New York
is American beef, bought on the
hoof in the same markets used by
American packers; it is shipped to
Liverpool, is slaughtered in that
city, and then shipped as meats
throughout Great Britain, adding
to the prime cost in America the
cost of two shipments and two
landings.

VILLAGE VOTES "DRY'
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Hudson, Ohio, Will Get Water
Works and Other Public
Utilities.

At Hudson, Ohio, February IA,
the village voted that it was worth
while to remain dry" for fifty
years in order to obtain a water
plant, electric light, sewerage sys-
tenn and other improvements, and
after hot campaign voted to ac-
cept the proposition by 1862 to 81.
James w. Ellsworth, a native
of Hudson, but present millionaire
resident of New York, offered the
village the advantages named if it
would vote dry" and stay so for
fifty years.
When the offer was first made
two years ago the village promptly
voted dry" and painted itself
white. Ellsworth built a boys
club and new congregational
parsonage.
Discomfort arose, however,
among the "wets" and petitions
for a return of the saloon were
circulated, resulting in the above
vote. Ellsworth served notice
that he would continue his portion
of the improvements if the town
went dry" but that on the whole
be was rather disguised.

INTERESTING LETTER.
Some Facts About New Orleans

Il. r. Perry, editor of the Sun
Sentinel at Winchester, writes as
follows for his paper;
One of the most remarkable
things about New Orleans is that
it is located SOME eight feet below
the level of the river that flows
through it. The water is kept in
the channel by levees or artificial
banks.
New Orleans is a city of 375, 900
inhabitants and was founded by
Bienville, a French Canadian, in
171S. 1t lies 10 miles from the
mouths of the Mississippi River,
and comprises the entire Parish of
Orleans, with an area of 1861
square miles. 1t has harbor
ranging in depth from over 200 to
80 feet; thirty miles of wharves, a
part of which are covered by mu-
nicipall y-owned, modern steel
sheds, and a public belt railroad,
which, free of charge, transfers
commodities to and from railroads.
1t is the largest coffee, banana,
sugar, cotton, rice, sulphur and
salt market in the United States,
and, by reason of its geographical
location, enjoys unusual rail and
ocean transportation facilities. Its
population is principally American,
with a large number Of French
speaking inhabitants-the Creoles
of Louisiana, who live in the
French, or Creole quarter.
The French Quarter is the most
interesting. Here are found the
quaint and massive old French and
Spanish houses, the wide, paved
courtyards with tropical vegetation
and flowers, the antique stores and
quaint shops.
Canal street is the dividing line
between the French and American
Quarters. The French is down
town"-to the north. This is due
to the fact that the Mississippi
River, as it passes the head of Ca
nal street, flows directly north.
Hence the residents speak of up
town" and 'downtown''-a point
well worth remembering.
In the French Quarter are To-
Gated historical buildings and sites,
