SCHOOL TEACHERS.

For many years / had used coffee
and refused to be convinced of it's bad
effect upon the human system" writes
a veteran school teacher.
Ten years ago | was obliged TO
give up my much-loved work in the
public schools after years of continu-
Gus labor. l had developed a we'll de-
fined case of chronic coffee poisoning.
The troubles were constipation,
flutterings of the heart, a humping
in the top of my head, and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, a general gone
feeling, with a toper's desire for very
strong coffee. was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package
OF Postum with them, and urged me
to try it. was prejudiced because
some years back had drunk a cup Of
weak, tasteless stuff called Postum
which l did not like at all.
This time, however, my friends
made the Postum according to direc-
tions on the package, and it won me.
Soon found myself improving in a
most decided fashion.
The odor of boiling coffee no long

mission the Michigan State objected
to the railroad commission granting
the authority for the independent
line TO build the toll line on the
ground that il already had facilities
installed sufficient to meet the de-
mands for telephone communication
to or from Manistee. In his opinion
in the case which grants the United
Home authority TO construct the line,
Chairman Hemans of the commission
says that the telephone statute OF the
state contains provisions designed to
promote the physical connection OF
the lines of contiguous telephone sys-
TENS. He says that it would be futile
to require that companies should con-
newt their circuits and then leave each
free TO parallel the lines of the other
but inasmuch as the Michigan state
refused to give the independent COM
pany physical connection and toll SER
vice the commission can do nothing
more than grant the request OF the
Independent company. The new line
will also be used by the Postal Tele-
graph company.
Had the Michigan state offered ply
steal connection and toll service, the
commission says it would be logical
TO object to the duplication OF its toll
facilities by the independent COM
pany.
This settles long drawn out fight
between the two companies in that
section OF the state.

Following a conference held recent
ly it was decided that in the event
the interstate commerce commission
orders further suspension of the pro
posed increase of five per cent in
freight rates, that the proposed in
fcreases as applied to intra-state rates
shall also be suspended. The action
was taken following conference be-
tween the members of the state rail
road commission, attorneys for the
principal railroads, representatives OF
the shippers and boards of trade
throughout the state.
1t is expected that the interstate
commerce commission will make a de-
cision of some sort March II, and If a
further suspension is not ordered, in
creases of interstate tariffs are to be
suspended 30 days more so that the
state railroad commission can hold

Cleopatra was not the only person
who swallowed dissolved pearl. IN
til comparatively recent times they
were used incidentally in Europe and

thority, pearl after being treated
with pumice stone and honeycomb,
mixed with the gall of a serpent,
might be drawn out to the length OF
three or four feet. Make it into pills

is not that the patient would be TN
