follows: "Whenever I was obliged to go
without coffeo for breakfast a dull, dis

'VAt evening dinner I had been taught by
fipcrJenco that I must refrain from coffoe
cr pass a sleepless night. In the summer
tt 1900, while visiting a physician and his
wife, I was served with a most excellent
coffee at their dainty and elegant table
nnd upon Inquiry discovered that this
charming beverage "was Poslum ' Food
Coffee and that the family had been greatly

Post urn. .
"I was so In lovo with tt nnd so pleased
With the glimpse of freedom from my ono

began tho use of Posttint Food Coffee and
have continued It 'ever slnco, now moro

"I don't know- what sick headacho Is now

not only refrain from taking out any copies
of tho two Imported purveyors of throbbing

uncomfortable for uny Irregular boys who
attempt to relieve the situation. Tho

Woman's Work in Club
The threatened encroachment of the
philanthropic department of tho Woman's
club upon tho work ot the extension branch
of tho Young, Women's Christian association
In the vicinity of lowor William street has
occasioned considerable feeling ot late. For
over a year tho latter organization has been
carrying on a most effectual work there In
tho Interest ot womeu and girls. It has
well organized sowing classes and mothers'
moctlngs, a most successful literary club
and gymnasium class, and, best of all, has
secured a feeling of unity among the young
women that Is chiefly responsible for tha
success. Tho branch work Includes the
women nnd girls for blocks around Graco
chnpol, at Sixth nnd William streets, whero
all the mcotlngs aro held, extending as
far cast as tho tracks. It was the original
Intention of tho philanthropic department
to reach the girls and women of the First
ward, and upon investigation tho field about
tho old Chapel of the Carpenter, down on
tho bottoms, at Second and William,
seemed tho most In need of such work. This
neighborhood Includes a llttlo settlement
ot squatters, most of whom are Bohemians,
who make up a llttlo colony of their own,
having little to do with those about them.
Accordingly, tho sewing classes were opened
In Soptcmbor, those formerly Interested in
tho work there relinquishing all tn favor
of tho club women. From tho very start
there has been difficulty tn gottlng tho
women to go down to assist with tho class
work, tho neighborhood being very Inacces
sible, and sb a result the work has fallen
almost entirely upon flvo women, who have
been compelled to restrict tho privileges
and entirely exclude tho smaller girls.
Ileccntly tho members of the committee
havo decided that their field does not admit
ot sufficient scopo and are looking about for
a station further west, and In so doing
have croated tho feeling among the Young
Women's Christian association branch
workers. Those experienced In the. work of
the neighborhood aro of the opinion that It
tho philanthropic committee gives up tho
work at tho Chapel of tho Carpenter It will
cntlroly sacrlflco Its usefulness In that part
of town, for the girls and women of tho
bottoms can nover bo Interested out of
their own colony and would drop out en
tirely, and ns tho branch work covers all
the necessity of Its own district tho com
mltteo's work there would be entirely su
perfluous. A yet no new location has been se
cured.
TO AMEND BANKRUPTCY LAW

thnt Aro Unfair.
Tho Omaha Association of Credit Men
has propoccd an amendmont to tho national
bankruptcy law, which Is Intended to make
It more difficult for debtors to cscapo tho
payment of their obligations by going Into
bankruptcy. The question has received
moro or less attention at the hands of credit
men over the coantry since the enactment
of tho present Inw and tho Omaha asso
ciation early noticed points which were
considered dofcctlve. In tho fedcrnl court
at Omaha few, If any, cases havo been pre
sented whero thcro was a, suspicion of fraud
under tho law, but In moro than ono tho
facts surrounding tho caso were such as to
permit tho debtors to retain tho Income
from property, whllo creditors wero ren
dered Impotent tn collect bills for goods
which were sold tn good faith.
A commlttco consisting of V. I), Caldwell,
E. B. llruco, F. E. Pcarce, F. II. Hochstot-
lor and J. D. Taylor wns appointed to Inves
tigate the matter. They devoted consider
able tlmo to tho Investigation, taking re
ports of cases beforo tho courts of the
country nnd adding to tt their personal
cxporlcnco whero cases camo under their
observation.
Some ClinnKen Desired.
The result was tho forming of a report
which was endorsed by the association, as
follows:
Whereon. Tho vnlue nnd lenefH of a uni
form system of bankruptcy throughout, the
United States has been fully demonstrated:
and,
wherca. in tho administration of tho
present law thoro has developed tho un
doubted need of certain amendments;
therefore, bo It
Hesolved. Thnt the Omnha Association
of Credit Men expresses Itself In hearty
uccoru witn tno etiorta now ueing put
forth to amend tho law. nnd most earn
estly sinorests and urges tho consideration
of tho following recommendations:
i- irst That section OTg De clearly denned
nnd stnte In tinmlstnkabln languago that
any nnd all payments ,mado In good faith
and In tho ordlnnry course of trado shall
not bo considered preferences.
oecona inai tno law no so amended ns
to vest In the United Stntes courts com-
ploto, absolute and exclusive Jurisdiction In
all matters pertaining to bankruptcy.
Third That a discharge bo denied or re

tho law now provides; or (2) failed to keep
or refused to furnish books of accounts,
recorus or sucn otner inrormation neces

tion; or (3) his estate shall not have paid
a dividend of at leant 25 per cent; or (t)

tile a correct or complete schedule of his
assets; or (9) failed to attend ono or tho
first meeting of his creditors; or (10) be
come Insolvent through gambling, dissipa

Fourth That tho law provide for uni
form exemptions.
Fifth That a bankrupt's .wlfo be a com
petent witness and subject to examination.
Sixth That tho bankrupt bo required to
attend for examination without expense to
tho estate At least ono meeting of creditors:
Sovonth That nny person shnll bo re
quired to attend as a witness beforo a
referee regardless of tho distance of his
place of resldonce.
Work tn Well Supported.

tion In Decembor and noon thereafter copies
wore eent to all members of the associa
tion, to tho senators and congressmen of

to tho committee who "had charge of the
work. The persons roplytng pledgo their
support to tho movement and promlso that
thoy will use their efforts In securing the

CHICAGO. Jan. 18. Tho Itccord-Hcrald
tomorrow will say:
Tho Illinois Central railroad will, within
the courso of a short while, hnvo all of the
principal stations aloDg Its line completely
equipped with telephono wires for the use
of officials nnd employes In transmitting
orders and messages of tho company.
Thoso who hnvo experimented with the
system claim for It many great advantages
over tho old telegraph system. They assert
that by means of tho telephonic system the
servlco will be practically revolutionized.
They say that with slight Improvements
which aro lnovltablo tho telephono will
furnish greater safety for train orders, that
the cost of train operation will be de
creased nnd tho results maintained vastly
better, and, no less Important, Is tho con
stant personal contact between officials and
employes which tho promoters say Is cer
tain to result In a higher grade of servlco.
The chnngo on tho Illinois Central will
bo gradual. Tho Installation of tho now
system will cost about 1100 per mile, or
approximately $510,000 to equip tho entire
road, Including its main branch and tho
Yazoo & Mississippi Valley road. Chicago
will probably bo tho stnrtlng place. Al
most simultaneously, however, work will
bo commenced at New Orleans and St.
Louis. From these threo centers a two
wire line will bo extended to the principal
points until every station In tho entlro
system Is Included.
An Attnck of Pneumonia Warded OS.
"Some time ago my daughter caught a
severe cold. Sho complained ot pains in her
chest and bad a bad cough. I gave hor
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy according to
directions and In two days alio was well and
ablo to go to school. I havo used this
remedy In my family for tho past seven
years and havo never known It to fall,"
says James Prcndergast, merchant, Annato
Day, Jamaica, West India Islands. The
pains In tho chest Indicated an approaching
attack of pneumonia, which tn thU lnstanco
wns undoubtedly warded off by Chamber
Iain's Cough Ilemcdy. It counteracts any
tendency of a cold toward pneumonia. For
