Speaking Of coffee, nurse in Pa,
writes: II used to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly from
headaches and indigestion.
while on a, visit to my brothers /
had a good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether In place of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
/ found was much benefited and
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally l have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left of and Postum used.
81 observe a curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. It
greatly helps the flow Of milk in cases
where coffee Is inclined tC dry 1t

II find trouble in getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when
IL ia prepared according to directions

Niles.-A formal order placing all
but four northern townships of Berrien
county under quarantine, along with
six western townships of Cass county
for foot and mouth disease in cattle,
hogs, goats and sheep, was issued here
Saturday by the state livestock and
sanitary commission.
All members of the state commits
sion were here and signed the order
which prevents the movement OF any
cloven-hoofed animals dead or alive or
any hides, hay, straw or similar fod-
der from the quarantined territory.
The governor will be asked to take up
the matter of the division of the eX-
pense of the quarantine with the gen.
eral government. In previous epidem-
les the general government has borne
two-thirds Of the expense and the state
one-third, but later ruling places half
the expense on the state.
This epidemic extends over the line
into Indiana and that fact will be inn
pressed on the authorities at Wash
ington in the endeavor to induce
them to restore the old basis of APP
portioning the expense so that the
state may get off with one-third of it,
it cost 100000 to stamp out the first
outbreak OF this disease in the New
England states in 1902.
A Gordon of deputies will be thrown
around the infected territory and
every animal in the territory will be
examined and those found diseased
will be killed. Large orders for quick
lime and other disinfectants have been
placed and the slaughter of diseased
COWS has begun.

Ancient Gateway.

In days when cities were walled
about for purposes OF defense against
an enemy, most OF the masters of the
people being marauders and brigands,
there were real gates, by which is
meant tremendous doors of solid oak
built within stone walls which were
indestructible by any weapons OF those
times. The ancient gates were built
in the walls of cities at those points
where the chief highways centered
and on which an enemy would surely
try to make his attack.

Duke of Commerce, sent along the ap-

be present for conference with the king

ever
Perhaps you are not used to snow
storms here" he said. Little towns of

their streets Of snow quickly. but it has
been three days since the snow started

oeen done to improve conditions.
IN many of the towns snow pIows are
used to make it possible for vehicles to
move about. but l suppose there are so
few SHOWS here that such provision is
not made
Vice President Marshall was told that
Congress has heretofore appropriated
money for the purpose of having the
snow hauled from the streets. He
thought that was u good idea, he stated,
and said he would suggest to some mem
Der of Congress that such action be taken
at this time.
Discussing conditions resulting from the
storm, Vice President Marshall said he
had found the sidewalks cleaned and in
splendid condition for pedestrians. TIE
sidewalks are good, he said. and the road
