WHAT BAD ROADS COST.

Bad roads cost the people OF
America $3.50 "a head" each
year. That is the waste COM
puted from government statis-
tics. 1t represents the extra ex-
pense Of hauling foodstuffs to
market over bad roads contrast
ed with the expense of the Same
hauling over good roads. That
loss is much more in amount
than the total Of all the revenues
OF the nation and forty six
states for the same period

DIAz Will RESIGN
when PEACE COMES
President is Willing and Stand
is Expected to Satisfy
Rebel Leaders.

Mexico City.-General Porfrio D:az
Sunday issued a manifesto to the peo-
pie OF Mexico declaring his intention
of resigning the Presidency as soon
as peace is restored In this. man
ner the President has virtually &C.
coded to the demands of Francisco |.
Madero that he make announcement
OF such intention.
AS to when peace is actually re-
stored, General Diaz reserves the
right to be the judge In the words
OF the manifesto, it will be when,
according to the dictates of my con-
science. I am sure that my resigna-
ton will not be followed by anarchy"
The President made it clear that
he does not propose to abandon the
Presidency while his country is at
war and that he would not do so
at any time under compulsion.
The promise of the President is
made to the people of Mexico and it's
receipt by the revoiutionists will be
incidental.
Regarding the point upon which the
rupture of negotiations occurred, the
manifesto declared that compliance
with the demand for Diaz' resignation
could not be entertained because his
immediate resignation would doubt
less precipitate a condition of an
archy throughout the country.
FL Paso, Tex.-General Madero an
nounced that he would agree to an
other armistice during which peace
negotiations might be renewed.
After Madero had started the move
ment OF his army to the south with
the cry. ION to Mexico City" and
just as portion of his command had
trained its guns on Jaurez and was
preparing to make, a night attack upon
the city, the news of President Diaz'
announcement that he would retire
when peace was restored was given
to Madero.
Madero Immediately halted the
march of his army, the attack on
Jaurez was abandoned, and the rebels
rejoiced over what they expect will
bring about an end to the present
rebellion.
Earlier in the day, in a communica-
ton to his men, Madero announced
all plans for attacking Jaurez had
been reluctantly abandoned; that the
lnsurgent army would quit the neigh
bOrhOod of the International boundary
and strike for the south, with the OBJ
ject OF taking the capital of the re-
public.

THE TEA PENALTY.
a Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
the wife of an employe OF one OF the
great roads says:
my husband is q railroad man who
has been SO much benefited by the use
OF Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
It has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked IL
strong.
Tea has, OF late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first IL soothed him, but
only for an hour or so. then It began
TO affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work In the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew oon-
stantly worse. until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
II, and II somehow seemed TO do him
good. he added Il to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink Il for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
"His condition Is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he cosld not be hired to
give up Postum and go back TO tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep Is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this TO Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change In bis diet.
His brother. who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking. was persuaded
by US TO give MP the coffee and use
