BUILT A MONUMENT The Eest Sort in the World. •'A monument built by and from Postum. is the way an Illinois maa describes himself He says: "For years I was a coffee drinker until at last 1 became a terrible suf- ' ferer from dyspepsia, constipation, headaches and indigestion. "The different kinds of medicine I tri'-d did not cure me. and finally some ; one 'old me to leave off coffee and ikae up Postum. I was fortunate In having the Postum made strictly ac c. ruing to directions on the pkg.. so that from the start 1 liked iL "Gradually my condition changed. !

"I am really a monument built bT Posium. for I was a physical wreck, distressed in body and mind, and am now a strong, healthy man. I know exactly what made the change; it was leaving off coffee and using Postum." Name given by Postum Co.. Battle ( reek. Mich. Read "The Road to Well v ille." in pkgs.

Lincoln.—A good roads proclamation issued by Governor Morehead readr, ! as follows, in part: "Realizing the excessive rains in Nebraska and lateness of the season, j I have delayed asking the commercial j clubs and other organizations to co- ■ operate with me in devoting two days to the making of good roads in Ne braska • The travel by auto to the Pacific | exposition through Nebraska is great and i am desirous of having the peo ph who pass through our state, credit us with being progressive in the way of good roads as well as in legisla tion. And our roads are in sonstant use by all the people of Nebraska "i have designated Thursday and Friday, Julj 2i< and SO, as "Good Roads Days.' Traveling as I by, by automobile, it has been a sur prise to me to find our roads in as good condition as they are. consider ing the wet weather we have had. If j each person would spend a few days j on the roads near their home the re suit would be good dirt roads in Ne- ! braska. "i ask all the farmers, business men. commercial clubs and other or ganizations to co-operate in this mat ter and I feel that every man should dor. !u's overalls and give at least ij;e j length of time stated, to putting our i roads in good rendition. "It is just as essential to have good roads as it is to have good houses and barns and the people of the city use them as much in going to the country as the farmers do in coming to the j city We can all join in boosting and ' w. irking for good roads as ail are in- ! teresied "It is my earnest desire that all may take an interest in this important i movement."

Sixty p< r cent of the babies of Xt • liraska are bottle-fed as nearly as the state authorities can gather tbe information. The figures are given I to show the necessity of pasteurizing milk and as Retiring State Veteri narian Kigin says: “There's greater net d of combating the diseases that ^ thrive in the milk we give our babies than fighting against the things that lead to war—for the mortality is greater in our peace pursuits, through nur carelessness, than on the battle fields through our indiscretions" Says Warehouse Law Defective. Tbe public warehouse law. passed by the last legislature, in the opinion of Attorney General Reed, cannot be enforced by the State Raliwav com mission. He gives as his reasons that the rai'wav commission was created for the purpose of supervising rail road rates and that it has no author ity to take over any other matters Dot set out in the law which created tbe commission.

Ti e apple crop of Nebraska will be an immense one and the quality of the apples will be tiie best for many years, according to Ernest M. Pollard, president of the Apple Grow ers' association, who was in Lin coln recently. Bank Stock Increases. An increase of $5,625,000 in the ac tual valuation of bank stock is appar ent on the state assessment roll this year, according to the returns gather ed from eighty-three counties. This is due directly to the Osterman bill, which forbids banks from deducting the value of real estate mortgages troiu tlieir capital stock for purposes of taxation. The increase means pay ment of something like $50,000 more in taxes than could have been gath ered under the law allowing banks to make deductions. NOTE IS FINAL WORD KAISER TOLD AMERICAN RIGHTS WILL EE UPHELD. MILLING TO ACT AS MEDIATOR United States Government Rejects Proposals in Recent German Note. No Course is Outlined. Washington.—The new note to Ger many is a warning that the repeti tion of a disaster such as that vis ited upon the Lusitania, or any vio lation of American rights on the high seas, resulting in loss of Amer ican lives, will be regarded as "un friendly." The note is in the nature of a final statement by the United Siatts of the interpretation that will be placed by this government on future transgres sions of American rights and repeats that the American government will leave nothing undone to stand by the posit iou it nas previously declared. Chief Points in Nots. 1—Tiie assumption by the United Stales that Germany, by declaring its submarine warfare to be a retaliatory measure against the alleged unlawful acts of its enemies, has admitted that the destruction of unresisting mer i chant men without warning is illegal j “—German submarine commanders already have proven that they can save the passengers and crews of ves sels and can act in conformity with the laws of humanity in making war on enemy ships. " —The United States cannot allow tiie relations between the belliger ents to operate in any way gs an ah breviation of the rights of neutrals and therefore any violation of tin principles, for which the American government contends, resulting in a hiss of American lives will be viewed as “unfriendly ” 4— The renresmtations which the American government lias made in previous notes for disavowal of the intention to sink the Lusitania with Americans aboard and the request for reparation are reiterated with re newed insistence Willing to Mediate. 5— Tiie American government rea lizes the unusual and ahnornial con ditions which the present conflict has, created in the conduct of maritime war and is willing to act as an inter mediary between tiie belligerents to arrange a modus vivendi or any other temporary arrangements which do not involve a surrender by the United States of its rights 6— The proposals made by Germany to give immunity to American ships not carrying contraband and to four liellig.-rent ships under the American dag are rejected with the emphatic assertion that to accept such sugges tions would lie to admit Germany's right to set aside tiie American con tention based on fundamental prtn ciples in international law—that neu tra’s may travel anywhere on tiie high i seas on unresisting ships of any na ; tlonaliij even if carrying contraband, j While nowhere iu it is there an> i direct intimation of the course which I the United States will pursue in the j event of another disaster similar tc j the Lusitania tragedy, there are em- ' uliatic statements throughout the! communication pointing out that the discussion of the principles involved las been virtually concluded and that future conduct of German submarine commanders will determine the re sponsibility for the friendly relations between the two countries. Must Pay for Aid. Washington—Suits are about io be brought by the government against American citizens who. though ap patently able to do so, refuse to re pay money expended for their relief when they were stranded in Europe at the outbreak of the war. Many of those aided have reimbursed the gov eminent, but Secretary McAdoo said there had been a number of refusals and that he would ask the Depart ment of Justice to institute suits. Treasury officials say that so far no exact accounting had been made of the amount expended in relief work. Cong: ess appropriated $2,750,000. and it is believed that more than $2,000. 000 w s used. Many Married Men in Army. London.—Speaking for the govern ment in the House of Lords, Lord Newton said that the number of mar ried men at present in the British army was approximately 843.000.

RETURN TO STEEL HELMETS The French infantry are being equipped with light steel helmets that to a certain extent protect the head against projectiles. The helmets are painted blue to match the uniform. Rich Man’s Fad. "Speaking of starting things and not finishing them,” said a New TTork busi ness man. "See that old fellow over there?” pointing to a gray-haired, stal wart-looking man, "that's Colonel Blank, whose fortune runs in the seven figures. He has a curious habit of carrying a memorandum bock around with him and whenever he spends any money he jots down the figures. One day I got talking to him about it and he pulled the book out of his pocket to show me. What was my amaze ment on looking at It to discover that not one of the pages was totaled up. I asked him, naturally, whether he never added the columns to find how much he « as spending. He told me that he did not and never had; the practice w as too discouraging. A sense of duty impelled him to put down the items, but there he stopped. An inter esting man, although a trifle eccen tric.” She Baked a Million Piet.
