For q Time.

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks Of his own expe'
rience:
'Thad used coffee for years and really
did not exactly believe it was injuring
me although had palpitation Of tho
heart every day. (Tea contains cat
feine-the same drug found in coffee
and is just as harmful a. cofee.)
FINALLY one day severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead. and
since that time I have had absolutely
40 heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when I tried small
quantity Of coffee, which caused severe
irritation and proved to me must lot

he CAN NOT TALK
Boy Hurt in Football Game
May Lose Speech.
Shutters and StammerS When
He Tries to Talk.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1S.-Kicked on
the head during football game at
Clearwater, James Burns. Junior at
Friends university, and p member of
the Scrub football squad, has been
unable to articulate distinctly for
nearly two days, and may lose his
speech.
Burns was injured during a game
between the second team of Friends
university and the Clearwater high
school. When a pile-up had been I'M
tangled after a hard mass play, Mr..
Burns was found to be irrational, and
apparently badly injured He insisted
upon going on with his work with the
team, and it took four men to drag
him off the field. He fought furiously,
and talked incoherently.
For several hours after his injury
Burns seemed unable to use any words
except football signals, composed of
combinations of numbes. As he lay
on the bed in his room at the hotel,
he repeated the signals in a loud
voice, and held his hands to the back
of his head, apparently the seat of
much pain.
Although he attended classes at the
university Thursday, Burns was un-
able to answer questions asked by the
professors, and seemed unable to re-
member anything. He shutters and
stammers in his speech, but has for
gotten all the football signals. He is
seldom able to finish sentence which
he begins, usually seeming to forget
what he was talking about.
James Burns has been a student at
Friends university for five or six
years, having started during the early
part of his academy course. He has
been a leader in the social life of the
school, and prominent in all kinds of
college activities. He is prominent in
Y NJ C. A. work. He never has
been troubled with any hesitancy in
speech, and has taken part in many
debates in the Davis lyceum, the col
lege mems literary society. His home
is in western Kansas.

SHIPPERS HELPING RAILROADS
Greater Cooperation This Year Than
Before, Saws WincheII.

New York, Nov. 1S.-B. L. Winchell,
president of the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad, who was in the city to-
day, said that the volume of business
in sight indicated a continuation of
the present prosperity for a long time
to come. He said that it would take
months to move the traffic now offered
to the railroads in the southwest. ASK
ed if he did not believe that there had
been greater cooperation this year
between the shippers and the rail-
roads, he said that he was strongly of
this opinion. But for the aid given by
the shippers in promptly loading and
unloading cars, there would have been
a very serious car congestion.
Traffic, said Mr.. Winchel, is being
moved better on all lines in the west
than in any other year of heavy bust
ness. The railroads were getting the
benefit of increased locomotive power,
larger terminals and greater track
facilities. which lead to larger train
and carload units and more miles per
car per day. The most serious phase
of the situation, according to the
Frisco president, is the abuse by the
smaller lines of the per diem car rem
tai, which seriously handicaps roads
originating large amount of traffic.

New Orleans and goes from there on
trip of inspection over the Frisco
lines in Texas. returning via st. Louis

Hard on Railroads.
Since the presidential election there have
been limitations that some of the man
ayers of the greater railway companies
have been saying cOnfidentially that the
business of these companies would nave
been larger in the two months Defore cleo
tion had there not been a disposition to
await the result of the campaign. Now
+la+ the djsposition of business men all
over the United States to accept without
any apprehension the result of the election
mas been made evident, the railway man
ayers look for much larger demand on
their facilities of transportation. Very
likely it was not an unmixed evil that dc
law or doubt did prevail to come extent
during the campaign, for If the fun mi
n1liea Of business had been felt at that
time it is very doubtful whether the rat4-
roads could have promptly handled all the
traffic offered.
At the time the crops were being gar
nered estimates were frequently male
that if the highest expectations or hopes
were realized then the actual money Nalue
al the farms of the crops including bot1
food and cotton, would be somewhere De-
tween nine billion and ten billion dollars.
some of the more conservative experts
estimate the money value of the crops al
a little over eight billions. The largest
estimate is now accepted as the correct
one The value at the farms of food anG
cotton products of the year will probably
amount approximately to ten billion dbl
lars
This is only two-thirds as large an
amount as the estimate made by James ].

value which the crops OF the United States
should produce. Mr.. Hill was confident
that with enlightened and thoroughly
and scientific methods, tie
farmers of the United States should re-
ceife each year as much as fifteen bill
lion dollars for their harvests.

\ Brakeman Invents Chock That Is
Successful in Test.

Harry w. Braun of Lemoyne, Pa,
a freight brakeman on the Philadel-
phia & Reading, has invented a car
check that has been declared a sue
cess wherever. up to date. it has been
tested The chock is an angle shaped
device that fits over the top of the
rail Connected with it is a friction
bar and a sand box. the latter con-
trolled by an automatic lever. The
chock weighs about 80 pounds and is
made of hard steel. The idea is to
have the invention placed at convent
ent places in railroad yards and near
grades and sidings When a car starts
of its own accord the chock is placed
on the rail directly in front of it and
when the wheel hits the chock the
sand and friction bar are let loose and
the car is stopped soon. The inven-
ton was tested recently in Reading,
Pa. the car being allowed to gain a
velocity of from 20 to 80 miles an
hour. The chock was placed on the
track and the car was stopped in two
car lengths.

BOYS BREAK PLEDGES.
High School Students, Belonging to
FratS, Suspended.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 1s.-Glenn
Dunno, Russell Frazier, freshmen and
Howard Young, a junior were sus-
pended from the Wichita high school
by I. NJ. Allen, principal for attending
the Pi Delta Kappa fraternity banquet
in the Hamilton hotel last week.
Their suspension is in force until
December 2, next regular meeting of
the board of education. The board
will then decide upon the expulsion of
the young men from the high school.
This action on the part of Principal
Allen is his second move in the war
on fraternities and sororities which
commenced at the opening of school.
All pupils then signed pledges that
they would not join secret organiza-
lions or participate in their functions.
Penalty for failure to keep the pledge
is expulsion.
Since the opening of school there
has been no mention of secret or
CARNATIONS. Pledge cards apparently
were taken at their face value and
as far as anyone knew high school
pupils were not participating in the
forbidden practice.
Tranquility disappeared with a rush
when he summoned several pupils who
formerly belong to secret societies
to his office. The delegation included
sorority sisters and fraternity brothers.
The meeting was held behind closed
