SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Experience Of q Southern Man.

please allow me to thank the origi.
nator Of Postum, which in my case.
speaks for ITSELF" writes a Fla. man.
II formerly drank SO much coffee
that my nervous system was almost q
wreck" (Tea is just as injurious be-
cause 1t contains caffeine, the drug
found in coffee.) my physician told
me to quit drinking It but had to
have something, SO tried Postum.
ITO my great surprise / saw quite
a change in my nerves in about 10
days. That was year ago and now
my nerves are steady and don't have
those bilious sick headaches which /
regularly had while drinking coffee.
Postum seems to have body-build-
ing properties and leaves the head
clear. And do not have the bad
taste in my mouth when get up morn
ings. When Postum is boiled good
and strong, 1t is far better in taste
than coffee My advice to coffee drink
ers is to try Postum and be con-
vinced."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the
little book, THE Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well
boiled.
instant Postum is soluble powder.

cup of hot water and. with cream and
sugar, makes delicious beverage
Instantly. Grocers sell both kinds,

Gold Discovery In Australia.

A rich gold discovery by boy ia
reported from Turnkey, township In
the western district of New South
Wales, Australia. A parcel of fifty
tons of ore taken from the newly dis
covered mine is expected to give $50
ounces of pure gold, or three ounces
to the ton. All available land near
1.-THE mine has been hastily taken up.
The owner of the mine, Mr.. d. Nc
Kellar. owes his good fortune to his
twelve-year-old son. The boy was out
trapping rabbits, and seeing an out
crop of ore--he has been brought up
in gold-bearing country--he washed a
dishful of the ore, and obtained, to use
his own words, "a tail of gold about
the length of two of mothers needles"

MILLION IS RAISED
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
TRUSTEES OF COLLEGE SUCCEED
IN RAISING THEIR SHARE.
Endowment Of $s,25O,0oo for School for
Teachers, As Starter, Insures
Nashville q Great Educational
Institution

Nashville.-The task of raising ST.
100000 for George Peabody School for
Teachers has been done. The Peabody
Trust, handling the George Peabody
funds, agreed to give 100000 in addi-
ton to the $1,ooo,ooO already turned
over to the college if the Peabody board
of trustees would raise $1,O0o,000 by
Nov. l, 1913. That million was raised
and Peabody College is on firm fouD-
dation. Peabody College will have to
start with an endowment of $3,250,000.
That it will have more is certain, but
that is enough to insure for Nashville a
great educational institution that had
its beginning here, and will have its tri-
umph here.

know whom you remind me Of? Well,
you remind me of the elder Dumas
Dumas pere. Dumas pere wasn't in
the habit of counting his money. One
day, however, in leaving his money on
the mantel, he counted it-nine louis
and went into the bathroom to
shave. On his return, quarter of
an hour later, his servant was dust

pile of gold on the mantel only seven
louis remained. "A loss of two louis,

OIR LOCAL BAND.

We have been asked recently, by
many, what's the matter with the
Grand Rapids band? Why don't we
have our open air concerts? What il
the trouble? Is it the lack Of lead
er, or has the city refused to cOntr1-
butte to the support of a leader? The
only reason that we can find for a
lack of interest in the re-organiza-
ton of our local band, first is the
want of a leader, and secondly, is
because they have lost three of their
excellent members. For instance,
Robert Morse, G. F. Bandelin and F..
C. Brockhausen. These three member.
have gone from the city and leaves
them without two of their best claTi-
net players. While this is true, we
believe the citizens of Grand Rapids
would like to see the band reorganl-
zed, secure a new leader and with
what material there us still within
reach in our city, get together and
do the best they can There is some
thing about band music, open air con
certs, and all these means of enter
tainments, more or less, of a public
nature that are greatly appreciated
by the people as a whole.
We would like to see some ener-
getic member of the old organiza
ton take up the matter Of re-organiz
ton, find a leader, and take steps
towards reestabishing under most ia
vorabIe circumstances all Of the mus
cal talent in our city that would be
public spirited enough to take
hand i'm this matter. Is there amy
good reason why it can not be done:
If mot who will move in the matter
Let us all boost and continue oul
local band and band concerts.
