SEEN DOCS NEW BOATi

DR.. Boone Phillips gave a striking
demonstration of the practicableness
Of the motorcycle Sunday when, not
withstanding the ice and slush, he
carried Haucke and Davis of the local
motorcycle club, to the top of the hill
on the Lexington pike in his new side
car. The hill is ia rfrom being a mo-
torist's dream under such weather con-
ditions, and among those who saw the
start, predictions that he'd never make
it we're rife. But the sturdy red
devil" did it without so much as long
breath. Local wheelmen who have
had a ride in the new carrier are so
pleased with It that rumor has it that
several orders will soon be on the way.
For with the side-car the girl may go,
and she'll be as safe and snug as bug
in rug.

POSTMASTER SNUFF
OF Cincinnati Resigned To Take a
Splendid Position With the
Union Central Life In
surance Company.

Mondays Times-Star contained tho
following article of a gentleman who
is as we'll known and liked in Mays
willie as in Cincinnati:
Postmaster John Layton Shuff sent
his resignation to President Wilson
and Postmaster General Burleson
Monday to become effective with the
appointment of his successor. Mr..
Shuts resignation followed immedi-
ately the action of the board Of direc-
tors of the Union Central Life Insur-
lance Company, appointing him man
ager of the Home Office General
agency. The latter appointment was
announced by President Jesse r..
Clark of the insurance company and
within a few minutes the kilograms
carrying the resignation were on their
way to Washington. The name of Mr..
Shuts successor at the head of the
Cincinnati postofiice has not been mem
toned, as no word of the proposed res
ignation leaked out prior to the Of
fetal announcement.
The new position to be assumed by
Mr.. Shut is one of the most RESPONSE
BILE in the life insurance field in Am
erica. He will have control of all
insurance written by his company in
this territory and, with the location of
the home Office here, this means tre-
mendous volume of business. The
omoluments of the position are said to
be very large. The late +. w. Jewell,
who passed away last August, was
Cincinnati agent for many years and
it is the position occupied by him that
will be filled by Mr.. Shut
John L. Shut was postmaster just
one year. He assumed the office on
January Z, 1915. succeeding Elias r..
Monfort A striking feature of his ap-
pointment, disclosing his wonderful
acquaintance, was that following the
confirmation of his appointment by the
Senate he stood in the lobby of the
Capitol and twenty-one Senators came
along and called him Jack"

for a number of years and complained
Of that 'weak-all-over' feeling and sictK'

Some time ago l was making o
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one Of the mer-
chants Of the place. noticed a some
what unusual flavor Of the coffee
and asked him concerning it. He re-
piled that it was Postum.
Il was SO pleased with 1t that l
bought a package to carry home with
me. and had wife prepare some for
the next meal. The whole family
liked it so well that we discontinued
coffee and used Postum entirely.
Il had been very anxious concern
ing my mothers condition, but we
noticed that after using Postum for
a short time she felt much better, had
little trouble with her heart. and no
sick stomach; that the headaches
were not so frequent, and herl general
condition much improved. This con-
tinued until she was well and hearty.
