hosts stood midway between the two
ables and argued about the merits Of
the rival feasts with all the magma
tive words picturings of a pair Of
press agents. After each had failed
to convince the other, Wiley suggest
ed a compromise. 1t was a compro-
mise characteristic of Wiley, who has
one Of those shaft-driven, internal ex-
banding appetites.
"Ill admit that YOU table is in the
best location" began the doctor, 80
we'll move my costly feast over to
your table, and we'll eat both din
ners!"
The guests who had brought only
appetite enough for one feast, looked
startled. but Wiley said it could be
done.
First they'd have Moore's soup
course, then Wiley's soup course, and
SO on, until everybody imagined he
looked like William H. Taft.
And when 1t was all over, Wiley
leaned back and expressed the hope
that double dinners would become
popular. He said it was the only way
to eat.

of gentlemen speaking about shoot,

An Irishman, who was one Of the
party, said: "Beforra, it's purity good,
but l believe I've seer better. When
l was in the army the major used to

A TROUBLE MAKER
Coffee Poison Breeds Variety Of Ills.

A California woman who didn't
know for twenty years what kept her
Ill, writes to tell how she won back her
health by quitting coffee:
q am 81 years DID," she says, have
used coffee all my life, and for 20
years suffered from indigestion and
insomnia. Life was a burden and a
drag to me all the time, and about
once a ear my ailments got such hold
upon me that I was regularly sick in
bed for several weeks each time.
Il was reluctant to conclude that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, but
l am thankful that l found out the
truth.
Then I determined to use Postum
exclusively-for a week at first-for 1
doubted my ability to do without cof-
fee for any length Of time. / made
the Postum carefully, as directed, and
before the week expired had my re-
ward in a ~perceptible increase in
strength and spirits.
Seeing the good that my short ex-
pertinent had accomplished, I resolved
to continue the use Of Postum, cutting
out the coffee entirely. This 1 did for
nine months, finding, daily, increased
cause for qualification at my steadily
improving health. My Indigestion grad
ually left me, my sleep returned, I
gained 26 pounds in weight, my color
changed from sallow to a fresh. rosy
hue and life became d blessing.
Then I thought 1 would try coffee
again, and did SO for a few weeks. The
punishment for deserving my good
friend, Postum. was a return OF my old
troubles.
THAT taught me wisdom, and l am
now and shall be all my Life hereafter

ing the benefits it brings me-" Name

COST OF GRAIN
GROWING IN
CENTRAL CANADA

A careful canvas made OF q num-
Der of men farming in a large way
indicates that even with the extreme
expense Of harvesting the crop, which
has been caused by the bad weather
and difficulty in threshing, wheat has
been produced and put on the market
for less than 55 cents a bushel. The
average freight rate is not over IS
cents per bushel. This would make
the cost Of production and freight 6S
cents n would leave the farmer an
actual margin on his low-grade wheat
Of 17h cents and for his high-grade
wheat of 1914 cents; and though this
is not as large a profit as the farmer
has every right to expect, 1t Is a profit
not to be despised, and which should
leave a very fair amount of money to
his credit when all the expenses OF
the yea have been paid, unless the
value Of low-grade wheat sinks very
much below it's present level. A mat
ter of importance to the prospective
settler is that of the cost of produc-
ton. The following table has been
prepared after careful investigation:
Interest on 800 acres, value
$50 per acre, 3 years at 6
per cent interest. ........ 81, 10000
Interest on horses, machin-
cry, wagons, ploughs, har-
rows, etc, to operate 800
acres-say $4,000 for 8
years $4,000
Getting 800 acres ready for
crop first year. doing ones
own work, with hired help,
about $3.50 per acre...... 10000
Getting $40 acres ready for
crop, second and third
year, about $1.25 per acre
per year., or $3.50 per acre
2 years ones own work and
hired help. 10000
Seed per year, wheat, per
acre $1.25, 3 years....... 100000
Seeding, 800 acres. 25 cents
pei acre, 3 years.......... $4,000
Irvine, 800 acres, 80 cents
per acre, 3 years .......... 288.00
Harvesting, 800 acres, 80
cents per acre, 3 years.. 2SS.0O

mate 20 bushels per acre
per year for 3 years, 3
cents per bushel, or 8 cents

20 bushels per acre per
year for 3 years, 6 cents

Four Teams Bowl.

The bowling matches at Cox's alleys
last night failed to change the percen-
tage of the leaders in the Hammond
Bowling League. and the Z. b. AS
and the Plantista's still remain in a tie
for first place. The leaders, not to be
outdone by the other, rolled with their
best ability and as result whitewash-
ed their opponents, each taking three
games apiece. Both teams got into
some tight places several times and by
clever pin work they managed to crawl
out of the hole
Its now up to the T. B. AS and
Plantistas to fight it out for the prize
money and first place, and when the
two teams are seen in action in the
near future some furious games are ex
pected. Each have their long list of
followers and a crowd is expected
which will pack the small gallery
BY some sensational pin work Dorsey
of the Z. B. AS captured the high in
dividua1 score with 253 pins Newell
formerly held that honor with score
of 261, but the rules state that the
high score will be given to the high
man rolling in Ntwo-thirds of the games

the county commissioners at Crown
Point today for conference relative
the Sheffield avenue pavement
The latest difficulty that is encoun-
tered in making Sheffield avenue a
county macadam thoroughfare, forty
foot wide. is with reference to pro-
vision in the law that a county pave
ment in the city shall be no wider than
in the country districts. Inasmuch as
only a twenty-foot pavement is provid-
ed for the country districts is provided
the question arises to how Hammond
is to so about 1t to get the necessary
forty-foot pavement. Should the COM
missioners decided that only a twenty
foot pavement can be permitted. the
abutting property owners and the
street car company would be assessed
for the balance.
