inches. My heart became SO weak
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at time.
MY friends, and even the doctor,
told me 1t was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. l would not be-
lieve it, and still drank coffee until
could not leave my room.
Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself. persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation I concluded to try 1t. That was
eight months ago. Since then ] have
had but few of those spells. none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. / now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee.
and as am seventy years Of age all
my friends think the Improvement

Attacks State Aid Plan.

st. Paul.-Investigation under d.
:ection of the state educational COM
mission show that many school dis
tricts OBTAIN more than a half of their
incomes from the state through spe-
cial aid and the per capita appor-
tiouments. 1t is the conclusion of
Raymond A. Kent, secretary of the
commission, after study of records Of
fourteen counties that the present sys-
tenn of state aid results in a reduction
of the local taxation only without in
creasing efficiency of schools. He says
this is not the object of legislation
giving such aid. Some districts levy
less than a mill for school purposes
and others up to II mills or more.

company. The latter structure COL
lapsed and 6 score of persons were
buried.
Death List Speculative.
Three persons at least were killed,
ten were injured, and from ten to
fourteen are unaccounted for. Some of
the latter are supposed to have es-
capped and gone home without giving
their names, but several are believed
to be still in the ruins.
The fatal accident was sequel to
the disastrous fire of March 9, when
thirty persons met death and the Ath-
letic club building was destroyed. The
west wall was known to be weakened,
but Building Commissioner McKelvey
had expressed the opinion that it
would stand unless high wind came
up.
Sudden Wind Does Damage.
When, therefore, a 35-mile wind
veered suddenly to the northwest,
Commissioner McKelvey, who was di-
recting the work of about ITO laborers
in exploring the ruins, Immediately
ordered his force out of the debris. A
few minutes later the wall crumbled
and dropped upon the roof of the seed
company's building. The wall and roof
of the latter structure were weakened
as the result of the fire, and the upper
two stories gave way, the whole mass
Of brick and other building material
piling upon the occupants of the build
ing.

wilson, laborer; c. r. Gryder, carpen-
ter; unidentified, laborer.

averted and the man was taken to the
