Everything wo put into his stomach would como up in less than three minutes. After tho third day of this kind of work I con cluded to give him some Postum Cof fee. He dranlc it and relished it and retained it, and for four weeks ho lived on Postum and nothing else to speak of. You can depend upon it that Pos tum gained some good friends, for liusband would have died if it had not T)oen for the nourishment afforded by Postum Coffee.".

Associated press dispatch from Wilkesbarro, Pa., undor date of June l, says: Tho eve of what is regarded a most important week In tho progress of tho anthracite coal minors' strike, finds tho entire region in an approhen sivo mood. At 7 o'clock tomorrow morning tho order of tho United Mine Workers of America calling out all tho stationary engineers, firemen and pumpmon unless the companies grant them an eight-hour work day at pres ent wages, will go into effect and no one can foretell tho outcome of the now move. Victory for either side will be of immense advantage and both parties to tho controversy are striv ing with all tho power at their com mand to win. If tho union succeeds In shutting down the companies the mine properties will suffer damage that may reach into millions of dol lars, and if the employers should bo able to keep the water out of their works without the aid of organized la bor it means that tho power of the union in the mining region has reached its limit and that all help in the effort to force the mine owners to grant the demands for the army of 147,000 men must come from some outside source.

A New York World cablegram from London, under date of June 1, says: London burst into wild rejoicing this evening when tho signing of the terms of peace became public. They were rejoicings of relief, not of triumph, but soon the Mafeking spirit began tc assert itself and within half an hour after the announcement union jacks fluttered from street cars and house windows and noisy gangs of young men and women paraded the streets, blowing penny trumpets, yelling pa triotic songs and otherwise liberating their long pentup feelings. But for a sudden deluge of rain which acted as a damper, the orgy of Mafeking night would certainly have been repeated. Even as it was, when the rain cleared, tho streets again became thronged with rowdy demonstrators, and the In fection of their enthusiasm spread to tho clubs and restaurants where tho conclusion of peace was generally toasted and manifestations alike un dignified and absurd wero freely in dulged in.

The terms aro expected, probably in the form of a message from the king, who desires credit for forcing the settlement.
