STONE MOVED BY THE SUN
Immense Mass of Granite in Ohio
Cemetery Undergoes Curious
Revolutions.

An interesting object is to be seen
in cemetery of Ohio-a large gran
ite stone weighing two tons, in the
shape of a ball, which is gradually
turning on its axis. During the last
five years, so it is said, this ball has
turned a fraction over 13 inches.
When the ball was placed in position
an unpublished spot six inches in diam
eter was purposely left in the socket
of the pedestal whereon 1t rested. A
little later it was noted with astonish-
ment that this spot was turning up
ward on the south side Of the monu-
ment. This curious revolution of the
polished ball, to lift which would re
quire a large derrick, is supposed to
be due to the suns action, in the fol
lowing manner: The solar rays heat
ing one side cause the ball to expand
to a certain degree whereas the north
side, which rests mostly in the shade,
does not expand to the same extent,
thus causing the ball gradually to
shift its position by turning.

Agreement Was Greatest Disap-
pointment of Sixty-Flrst Session
"Hods Up" D. r. Francis for $1,000.

Atlanta, Cain an address before
the Southern Commercial Congress Fri
day President Taft declared that the
failure to enact reciprocity with Cana
da was the greatest disappointment of
the Sixty-first congress, and that the
greatest achievement was the ratif1ca-
tion of the treaty with Japan.
He reached the convention hall short
ly before 12 o'clock and was given a
tremendous ovation.
The president wa introduced by for
mer Governor Francis of Missouri.
At the close of the speechmaking q
roll call of the states resulted in $27,-
900 being subscribed for the continua-
ton of the work of the Southern Com
mercial Congress. When the state of
Missouri was reached In the midst of
the roll call, President Taft seized the
gavel from the hands Of former Cover
charge of the convention, called on
Missouri for subscription. Mr.. Fran
els, caught unawares, responded that
he was not authorized to subscribe any
thing for his states commercial bodies.
I'VE are not from Missouri, but we
must be shown" replied the presi,

dustrial and commercial growth of the
south, President Taft referred to the
last congress as follows:
THE Sixty-first congress Just closed
has enacted more useful and progress
i've legislation in its three sessions
than any congress since the war.
One of the crying evils of the pres
ent day is the expense of litigation.
This congress has passed an act ma
king substantial reductions in the cost
Of appealing cases from the courts of
first instance to the courts of appeals" "
The president then enumerated sew
eral other laws that we're passed.
"A great disappointment of the ses-
feat of permanent tariff board
Finally, and the most important
thing which was done in the session
Just closed, was the ratification of the
treaty with Japan.
"Of course, the greatest disappoint-
ment of the session was the failure of
the senate to follow the lead of the
house in ratifying the reciprocity
agreement made with Canada.
when we entered upon the negotia,
tions l authorized the secretary of
state and his commissioners to offer
free trade in everything, but this Can
ada could not grant us.
Canada is at the parting of the
ways. If we now reject this opportun-
ity we shall throw away an opportun-
ity for mutual benefit not likely to re-
cur.
Under my promise to use my ut
most efforts to secure the ratification
of this agreement by congress | have
felt 1t my duty upon the failure Of the
senate to act to call an extra session
for the purpose of securing the ratif-
cation Of the agreement. l feel conf
dent that test of six months of this
agreement will so vindicate the wis
1om of adopting 1t as to remove it

OF The Rockford Morning Star.

About seven years ago 1 ceased

forms of indigestion and my stomach

My general health was bad. At close

OF course, when a mans health
shows he can stand coffee without
trouble, let him drink 1t, but most
highly organized brain-workers sim
ply cannot.
The drugs natural to the coffee ber-
ry affect the stomach and other organs
and thence to the complex nervous
system, throwing It out Of balance and
producing disorders in various parts
of the body. Keep up this daily pois-
oning and serious disease generally
supervenes. So when man or woman
finds that coffee is smooth but dead
ly enemy and health is of any value
at all, there is but one road-Quit.
1t is easy to find out If coffee be the
cause of the troubles, for If left off 10
days and Postum be used in its place
and the sick and diseased conditions
begin to disappear, the proof is un-
answerable.
Postum is not good IL made by short
boiling. 1t must be boiled full Is min
utes after boiling begins, when the
crisp flavor and the food elements are
brought out of the grains and the bev
erage is ready to fulfill its mission of
palatable comfort and renewing the
cells and nerve centers broken down
by coffee.
