WILL BE I'M EXHIBIT.
That of Mississippi at the Land Show
Will Equal ANY.

Jacksonville management of the ex-
hibit being arranged for the Chicago
land show reports that it will have the
finest collection of grains, fruits and
other products of Mississippi ever got
ten together at n time. There, of
course, have been larger exhibits, but
none so carefully selected with a view
toward showing the productiveness of
each section of the state and the crops
for which those particular sections are
adapted. Secretary Davis states that
the Mississippi exhibit will be equally
as good as those for which some of the
states have spent thousands of dollars
at the land show. Most of the Missis-
sipp specimens have been contributed
by patriotic people who are interested
in seeing the state make a good show

Then the article proceeds to de-
nounce Postum and works into a
fine frenzy. because we have pub
lished facts regarding the effect of
coffee on some people.
The narrowing tale goes on.
Where a few years ago every
body drank coffee, several cups q
day, now we find in every walk In
life people who imagine they can
not drink 1t. (The underscoring Is
ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpGn-
tiers, laborers and athletes have dis
continued or cut down the use Of
coffee; as there Is not a person
who reads this and will not be able
to find the same conditions existing
among his own circle Of acquaint-
ances, Is 1t not well for the Brazil
ians to sit up and take n~otice?"

whiskey are harmful. or daily slugs

feline in coffee clog the liver, de-
press the heart, and steadily tear
down the nervous system, bringing

types Of diseases which follow
broken-down nervous systems,

But It remained for the man who
has coffee, morphine or whiskey
to sell, to have the supreme nerve
to say: "You only imagine your
disorders. Keep on buying from
me-"

This is one OF the highest COM

who cut of about two hundred mill

Some people haven't the charac-

Mr.. Rollins Seeks Aid.
Frank B. Rollins appeared before
the council and asked donation of
SIS to aid him in procuring a cork
brace for his leg which was injured
some time ago, in an accident with
the city fire wagons. At that time
both legs were broken, but one IS
two inches shorter than the other,
and after consultation with the doc
tors, it was found that if cork
brace were procured, both legs would
be just as long.
Mr.. Rollins stated that he needed
S25 to get the brace, but that if the
city would help him out with SIS
he would collect the other $40 from
friends. At the time of the accident,
he did not bring suit against the
city, but was paid the necessary ex-
penses which amounted to 5000.

AS soon as Sister Boniface Of
Marshfield, Wis.,, comes to Mankato,
plans will be made for a large ad-
dition to St. Joseph's hospital. The
matter is under advisement now,
and Sister Boniface is expected to
come to this city early next month
to look over the ground and see
what appropriations are to be made
toward building an addition to the
hospital as well as a new chapel.
When this is decided an architect
will be engaged to make the neces-
sary plans and work will begin as
soon as the weather permits next
spring. The material for the new
addition will be hauled to the spot
this winter, so that everything will
be in readiness when the real work
begins.
Permission Is Granted.
Permission has already been
granted from Rome and it now re-
mains to get the second permission
quarters at Marshfield Sister Vir-
ginia, who has been at work here
all summer, and who comes from
Kansas City and Marshfield, said to-
day that the best site would prob
ably be to the rear of the hospital, on
the corner of Sixth street and
Washington, but that if this site
did not afford enough room, the
addition would probably be built to
the north of the hospital.
Size Not Yet Known.
Just how large this addition and
chapel will be is not known, but it
is believed that nothing small will
be attempted, as the hospital is now
crowded and has been for some
time. Especially in the winter are
the wards full, and many have been
turned away for lack of room. At
present all but two rooms are &C.
cupied.
All additions, as well as the
chapel will be connected with the
main hospital. This addition will
have nothing to do, however, with
the mother house, although the SUI
perior Sister who comes from
Marshfield, comes from the mother
house there. But these improve
ments will be for the hospital only.
The mother house in Mankato is
more of an academy and has the
teaching sisters.

see that those taking part in the
parade are familiar with the route
and will know just what to do when

After accommodating a board and
laundry bill amounting to $26, a
young man staying at the st. Paul
hotel, corner of Fourth street and
Washington, yesterday tried to get
away without paying the same. He
had two suit cases at the hotel, some
containing underwear and the other
a new suit and overcoat. He told
the landlady he had not money
enough to pay the bill, but would
leave his suit case containing the
new clothes and would then pay the
bill when he reached his home in
Indiana.
He went out for the afternoon
and when he returned took the suit
case with the new clothes and left
without notice. The police were no.
titled and the man was found in the
railroad yards. He was brought
back, and compelled to leave the
clothes. He was then released and
allowed to return to his parents. He
stated he would pay the bill when
he reached his parents and would
then expect the clothes to be sent to
him. The young man has been en-
ployed as laborer on the streets
but the recent inclement weather
has put him out of work.
