HARD TO DROP
But Many Drop It.

A young Calf. wife talks about
coffee:
1T was hard to drop Mocha and
Java and give Postum a trial. but my
nerves were 80 shattered that I was
a nervous wreck and Of course that
means all kinds Of ills.
AT first 1 thought bicycle riding
caused it and l gave it up, but my con-
dition remained unchanged. l did not
want to acknowledge coffee caused the
trouble for l was very fond Of 1t.
About that time a friend came to
live with us, and / noticed that after
he had been with US a week he would
not drink his coffee any more. I asked
him the reason. He replied. I have
not had a headache since 1 left of
drinking coffee, some months ago, TILL
last week, when I began again, here at
your table. 1 don't see how anyone
can like coffee, anyway, after drink
ing Postum! .r.
81 said nothing, but at m ordered
a package Of Postum. That was five
months ago, and we have drank nc
coffee since, except on two occasions
when we had company. and the result
each time was that my husband could
not sleep, but lay awake and tossed
and talked half the night. We were
convinced that coffee caused his suf-
fering, so we returned to Postum, con-
WINGED that the coffee vas an enemy,
instead of a friend, and he is troubled
no more by insomnia.
81, myself, have gained 8 pounds in
weight, and my nerves have ceased to
culver. 1t seems so easy now to quit
the old coffee that caused our aches
and ills and take up Postum" Name

Roads and BRIDGES Damaged.

Greenville.-Roads and bridges in
Greenville county were damaged by
the heavy rain of recent date to the
extent of $4,000. This is a conserva-
tive estimate made by County Super
visor Goodwin. UP until Saturday the
supervisor had received no reports of
damage to bridges and roads in either
the extreme lower or upper portions OF
the county. When these remote Sec
tons are heard from, it is entirely
probable that the losses will be much
create than the estimate that is quot
ed above.

light followed the movements OF his
three men as they drew together. Ma
thaniel Letton was at his Offices In the
Mutual-S olander Building. Next arrived
Guggenhammer. Dowsett was still In
his own offices. But at eleven came
the word that he also had arrived. and
several minutes later Daylight was
in a hired motor-car and speeding for
the Mutual-Solander Building.

REPAIR THE DAMAGE

OFF.
RUNNING ON SCHEDULE TIME
Only a Few Sections of Coast Line
and Southern Roadbeds Remain
Out Of commlssion-Many Trains
Including Carolina Special Detoured

Charleston.-With the subsiding of
the heavy floods, which have swept
during the past few days the Piedmont
and Pee Dee sections Of this state and
Georgia, the railroads are beginning to
resume Their lost connections and to
get their trains running again on
something approaching schedule time.
While the sections of the roads which
have been damaged by the floods have
not been entirely repaired, and while
there are still some missing links, re-
ports in Charleston indicated a much
more encouraging situation than has
obtained since the floods began. With
the exception Of only a few sections OF
their roadbeds in this state, both At
lantic Coast Line and Southern Rail
way put trains through to a number
of points which had been for several
days inaccessible.
Trains leaving Columbia on both the
Southern and Atlantic Coast Line
roads, went into the passenger station
at Augusta, and it is now understood
that this connection, which has been
suspended for several days past, is
now in working order again.
Reports from the local Offices Of the
Southern Railway were to the effect
that all trains on the Charleston divis-
ion Of that road had resumed their
regulat schedules. Information has
also been received at the local ticket
Offices of the Southern regarding the
connections above. Columbia. Accord
