SOUND SLEEP
Can Easily Be Secured.

''Up to 2 years ago" a woman writes,
II was in the habit of using both tea
and coffee regularly.
Il found that my health was begin
ming to fail, strange nervous attacks
would come suddenly upon me, making
me tremble SO excessively that l could
not do my work while they lasted; my
sleep left me and passed long nights
in restless discomfort. l was filled
with a nervous dread as to the future.
"a friend suggested that possibly
tea and coffee were to blame, and 1
decided to give them up, and in cast
ing about for a hot table beverage,
which felt was an absolute necessity,
l was led by good fortune to try Post

For more than a year I have used
1t three times a day and expect, so
much good has it done me, to con-
tinue its use during the rest Of my
life.
soon after beginning the use of
Postum, l found, to my surprise, that,
instead of tossing on sleepless bod
through the long, dreary plight, l
dropped into a sound, dreamless sleep
the moment my head touched the pill
low.
Then l suddenly realized that all
my nervousness had left me, and my
appetite, which had fallen off before,
had all at once been restored SO that
l ate my food with keen relish.
"All the nervous dread has gone. I
walk a mile and half each way to
my work every day and enjoy it. l

goes on about me that makes life q

BRITISH COURTESY.

Politics "as she is played in Eng.
land" is not the same game as in
THE States" To every section in the
English rulebook is added a provision
for courtesy. And this difference in
politics is but one instance of the
larger courtesy which permeates all
English life.
A good instance of English political
courtesy is in the introduction in Par
lament of the Veto Bill, a measure of
the administration to take away from
the House of Lords it's veto power
The day Premier Asquith was to have
introduced the bill, Lord Balfour, lead
er of the opposition, received a call
to attend the funeral of his brother.
This necessitated Balfour's absence
from Parliament several days. Pre-
mier Asquith learned of the circum-
stances and notified Balfour the bill
would not be introduced until his re-
turn.
Fairer play could hardly be i'm
agined. Such consideration for op.
ponents does not always obtain in
this country. Here politicians are con-
stantly on the line of scrimmage, the
signal for action is intended to be
meaningless and confusing to the op-
position. and there is no allowing
opponents time for organized defense.
As the golfer shouts fore" to warn
all on the field that he intends to
drive, Premier Asquith comes into the
open and states clearly his intention
and then waits for others to make
whatever moves they care.
The gentlemanly, sportsmanlike
Englishman is no less a gentleman or
sportsman in politics.

conveniently accessible. The trouble
lies n the fact that this is the best
that Columbia has. The two rail.
roads have a strangie hold on the
town. One is just as good as the
other and there is nothing for their
patrons to gain by giving either the
preference. If these roads choose to
make their passengers ride in coaches
built in 1850. without heat and lights.
the passengers must ride in them or
stay at home. II the railroads take
their time in delivering freight, there
is nothing for their customers to do
but keep their patience.
However, these miserable transpor-
tation facilities serve some good pur-
poses. They show how badly Colum-
bia needs better service and keep the
fact continually before the public
They also stimulate the citizens of Co
lumbia and those outside who are in
terested in the welfare of the Univer-
sity to do something to better those
conditions. In the end they will prove
the undoing of the two branch rail-
roads. And that end is not far off, for
il is probable that the cross-state elec-
trio line will be a reality before long.
Hard work and perseverance on the
part of Columbia and all the territory
to be covered by the road will make
it a reality.
Columbia's eagerness to see the
work begun on the electric road is not
the result of a selfish motive. This
town is the home of three colleges
and it's isolated condition. not loc:-
ton, is an inconvenience to these col
leges, the state and to the town itself.
therefore, has right to
ask for outside help in its endeavor
to put itself within easy reach of the
rest of the world.

FOR ALL COLUMBIA.

The Commercial Club banquet last
night was a recognition of the need
for unity in Columbia, a need that is
more apparent now than at any time
except perhaps when the University
burned in 1893. There was a united
Columbia then: there is a united Co.
lumbia now. The dinner was managed
by the Commercial Club. But it was
not the clubs affair. 1t was Column
bias.
The city was united in 1893, because
the interests of the whole city were
vitality affected. Through the efforts
of all Columbia the University was
rebuilt here. This lesson in the
strength of unity has not been forgot
ten. Improvement has been contnu-
Gus through the maintenance of this
unity.
With Columbia so far advanced, a
big problem now to be solved is rail-
road facilities-how to get in and ont
Of this progressive city. The best So
luton of this demands unity.
The best method of transacting the
city's business has become perplexing.
Commission form of government has
been suggested by many. The con-
duct Of the city's business, too, de-
mands consideration of benefits to the
many instead of to the few.
The interest in the dinner last night
shows conclusively that Columbia IS
not divided against itself. The spirit
of "all together for Columbia" is
shared by all. And such gatherings
as the one last night help this spirit

FOR MORE RAILROADS,

To say that Columbia is isolated is
not putting Il too strongly. For any
town that is not to be reached by a
direct rail line is isolated. Come
thirty miles or a thousand, ride in
the best trains in the country, no mat
ter who you are, whence you come,
il you don't live in Boone county, you
are bound to change cars before you
get to Columbia. II Centralia doesn't
get you McBaine will. -
To come from Fulton either by the
Katy or by the Wabash requires two
changes of cars. Fulton is less than
thirty miles overland. No town more
than twenty miles from Columbia is
