SUBSTANTIAL REDUCTIONS.
Ordered by Interstate Commerce
Board on sixty-two Commodities.

Washington.-The interstate com
merce commission has issued an or
der granting substantial reductions in
rates on 62 important commodities
from Chicago and the Mississippi and
Missouri rivers to Denver. The re-
duced rates are to become effective
May /.
The petition on which these rate re-
ductions are based was filed by the
Colorado Manufacturers association,
now the traffic bureau of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce, considerably
more than year ago. Reductions
were asked originally in all class
rates between Chicago and the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers on the
one hand and the Colorado common
points on the other, and in rates on
1853 groups of commodities.
The commission ruled on the class
rates last June, but asked for a revi-
sion of the petition as to commodity
rates before passing upon it

NOT A MIRACLE
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
q man could suffer from coffee drink
ing SO severely as to cause spells of
unconsciousness. And to find relief in
changing from coffee to Postum is
well worth recording.
Il used to be great coffee drinker,
SO much so that 1t was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak l
hour at time.
Ny friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until /
could not leaye my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself. persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hesi-
tation concluded to try It, That was
eight months ago. Since then / have
had but few OF those spells, none for
