years. had a breaking out on his face
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but 1t did not do
any good, He would scream and cry
and say 1t hurt. We hardly knew him,
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So l begged him to let mo

AS TO FAVOUR.
Found Her Favorite Again.

A bright young lady tells how she
came to be acutely sensitive as to the
taste of coffee:
MY health had been very poor for
several years." she says 81 loved
coffee and drank it for breakfast, but
only learned by accident, as it were,
that it was the cause of the constant,
dreadful headaches from which / suf-
fered every day, and of the nervous
ness that drove sleep from my pillow
and 80 deranged my stomach that
everything l ate gave me acute pain.
(Tea is just as injurious, because it
contains caffeine, the same drug found
in coffee)
MY condition finally got so serious
that was advised by my doctor to go
to hospital There they gave me
what l supposed was coffee, and |
thought it was the best ever drank,
but l have since learned it was
Postum. l gained rapidly and came
home in four weeks.
Somehow the coffee we used at
home didn't taste right when l got
back. / tried various kinds, but none
tasted as good as that | drank in the
hospital, and all brought back the
dreadful headaches and the 'sick-all-
over feeling.
One day ! got package of Postum,
and the first taste of it / took,
said that's the good coffee we had in
the hospital l have drank it ever
since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my
breakfast. l have no more headaches,
and feel better than have for years."

Julius Caesar.

The almost unanimous verdict of
ancient and modern times is to the eff
feet that julius Caesar was what
Shakespeare calls him: THE fore
most man of all this world" Never
before or since has any one exhibit
ed in SO high degree all the quail
tiles of born ruler of men. And
never had any man grander role to
play. To preside over the most inn
portant crisis in the history OF the
most important branch of the human
race was task that none by the
greatest OF men could successfully
perform. Caesar swept one obstacle
after another aside, and stood at last
where he meant to stand.

SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL

The Union Pacific System-Union
Pacific Railroad, Oregon Short Line
Railroad, Oregon Washington Rail-
road and Navigation Company-is
now reaping the benefits of years of
consistent effort to promote safety of
travel on it's lines.
Within period Of four years
the Union Pacific System fell
short Of q perfect record for safe
ty by only one accident resulting
In death.
During the past five years $4,000 900
have been expended in installing
Automatic Electric Block Signal pro-
lection on its lines and every mile OF
the way from Omaha to its western
terminals is under this protection.
To reduce to minimum the haz-
ard of accident, the Union Pacific
System during the past ten years has
been drilling its trainmen in the OBJ
servance of danger signals by sys-
tenn of surprise tests, the results OF
which have been very satisfactory, 80
per cent OF them being successful,
and those classed as failures" were
respected sufficiently to have averted
accident.
Every accident involving a hazard
OF human life is promptly investigat-
ed to determine the cause and to pre-
scribe, II possible. a remedy against
a recurrence.

certainly entitled to your first consid-
/ Grafton.
Taking the most favorable view
possible, | cannot convince myself that
there is necessity for so large sum
being appropriated for this purpose.
certainly hope that the appropriation
made for exposition purposes will not
exceed $500. 900"
Taking up the matter of logged off
lands, he said:
washington is one of the younger
states of the Union, has wonderful
natural advantages and resources, and
yet it is we'll to remember that it can
offer to the settler only high priced
lands that are ready for cultivation.
my opinion is that bonds issued for
clearing loggedtoff lands would not
find a ready market unless strength
ened by some guarantee on the part
of the state and this, l feel, would be
inadvisable. The only remedy then
left would be for the state to purchase
the bonds. If either plan were follow
ed the state would become an indirect
investor in the lands. If it is to be-
come an investor at all, would 1t not
be better to become a direct one, pay
ing outright what the lands are worth,
clearing them on a large scale, and
then disposing of them to actual set
tiers in small tracts at price that
would repay the state for its invest
ment?
Rather than make an apprOpria-
tion of 100000 for use at the two ex-
positions to be held in 1915, would not
the state derive greater benefit by ap-
propriating $15O,OOO or 100000 for
this purpose and use the difference in
undertaking work as outlined to pur-
chase and clear logged-off lands? = = "
! Every acre of land placed in cultiva-
ton adds to the taxable property of
the state. The development of these
lands Is one of the most important
! questions now confronting us and l
sincerely hope that your honorable
body will be able to devise some plan,
during the present session, for begin
ming work along these lines.
again returning to the matter of
appropriations, however" he said in
conclusion, II cannot refrain from
calling your attention to the fact that
the estimates in your hands calling for
appropriations far exceed the estimate
of revenues during the coming bien-
mum. l urge upon you the necessity
of holding down appropriations to the
lowest point consistent with proper
management. Would 1t not be advis-
able to prepare a general bill covering
appropriations for the departments
and institutions that must of necessity
be maintained, and after the amount
required for these purposes has been
determined, take up the consideration
of special appropriations requested?
I'm conclusion, desire to say 1t Is
my hope that the legislative and ex-
ecutive departments of the state may
be able to work in harmony during
this session of the legislature. I beg
to assure you that every possible as
sistance will be rendered by my de-
partments to the end that the Thir-
teenth legislature may have the record
of having enacted such legislation as
Is called for by the large majority of
the people and that 1t will result in
lasting benefit to the state"
