his medicine. After a somewhat pro

him, his mother at last set the glass

A moment passed, and the tender

Without removing her hands from
her eyes, she replied 'T'm grieved

A lady tells of bad case of coffee

pie and straightforward that literary
skill could not improve it.

years. she says, land suffered untold
agony When I first began to have
them 1 weighed 140 pounds, but they

to many doctors and they gave me
only temporary relief. So l suffered
on, till one day a woman doctor told
me to use Postum. She said looked
like was coffee poisoned.

gained Is pounds in the first few
weeks and continued to gain, but not
so fast as at first My headaches be-
gan to leave me after l 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 | used Postum

Drops Plan TO Buy 'Phone Line.

The efforts of the Wisconsin Tele-
the Citizens Telephone Company, an
independent concern operating at
Racine, were blocked when attorneys
representing the company offered to
drop all further proceedings to get
the necessary stock, and Judge Hast
ings ordered the treasurer of the Citi-
zens' Company, Charles r. Carpenter,
TO return all stock in his possession
as trustee to the original holders.
The decision of the Wisconsin Tele-
phone Company to drop its efforts at
merger came as a great surprise, but
as a result additional capital will be
furnished to put the independent
company on paying basis.
Some time ago when the Bell inter-
ests sought to acquire the local con-
Germ Joseph w. Mickulczky secured
an injunction restraining the Wiscon-
sin company in it's plan. Judge
Belden called in Judge Hastings to
hear arguments on the petition. After
counsel which included eminent attor-
neys on both sides, the independent
companies of the country being, it IS
believed, behind the litigation, had
made their arguments representatives
of the Wisconsin Telephone Company
stated in court that it had been found
impossible to get all of the stock of
the Citizens Company and they asked
that the case might be dismissed, q
settlement being made out of court.
After conference the attorneys of
the petitioning stakeholder accepted
the proposition of the Bell interests
and Charles r. Carpenter, treasurer
of the Citizens, was ordered to return
all stock held in trust by him, thus
establishing the status quo.

Fancy Poultry Exhibit.

Probably 1900 birds, including the
best fancy poultry in the northwest,
are to be on exhibition in the live
stock pavilion at the university Janu-
airy 25 to 81 This will be the initial
poultry show in Madison. 1t is being
managed jointly by the newly-estab~
lished poultry department of the uni
versity and the Wisconsin Poultry as
sOciatiOn. The association is COM
posed of about 100 of the breeders in
this section of the state. Manage
ment thus by combination of fancy
and utility poultry breeders naturally
puts this affair in a class by itself.
Not only will the leading breeders
of the state exhibit, but many from
adjoining states are expected, thus
making an array of fancy birds which
must prove decidedly interesting, even
to people who are not familiar with
poultry. Awards are to be placed by
j. A. Tucker, one of the best judges
in the middle west.
This event is the beginning of a
series of poultry exhibitions, which it
is hoped will make it the leading
showing of it's kind in the northwest.
