A part of rural route l, leading
north from Benton City, carried
by George Russell, was discon-
tinued by order of the Govern
ment this week for the reason, we
understand, of a bad piece of
road on the route If the road Is
fixed within 30 days the route will
be worked again, otherwise that
portion Of the route will be per
manently discontinued. The
Government ever since the
establishment of the rural
route services has demanded
good roads, and other rural routes
in the county might well look out
if the road conditions are bad, OF
they may lose their mail carrier
service also. Fix the county roads
Complain to the road oversesri
the county engineer the county
court-if You think your roa Is
are not what they might be OF
should be.

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee was Do
 ing the Mischief.

4 lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in d way so sim pie and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it.
 T had neuralgia headaches for 12 years" she says, and suffered un- told agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds. but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on. till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said l looked like was coffee poisoned.
 ''So I began to drink Postum and T gained 15 pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but not so fast as at first. My headaches began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks-long enough to get the coffee poison out of my system.
 since I began to use Postum I can gladly say that I never know what a neuralgia headache is like any more and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum I never went out alone: l would get bewildered and would not know which way to turn. Now I go alone and my head is as clear as bell. My brain and nerves are stronger than they have been for years
