IT'S A MISTAKE
Vm Attribute Coffee Ills to Poor Grades of
Coffee
Many people lay all the blame for
the diseases caused by coffee upon the
poorer grades of coffee, but this is an
error as tho following proves: "I
have used every kind of the best
grade of tea and coffee that can bo
got from a first class grocer, but nev
er found one that would not upset my
nervous system and It was notNuntil
I began to drink Postum Food XJoffee
in place of coffee and tea that I had
relief from the terrific attacks of ner
vous sick headache from which I had
suffered for 30 years.
"I had tried all kinds of medicines,
but none helped me.
"Soon after I stored drinking cof
fee and began to drink Postum the
headaches grew less and it was not
long until I was entirely cured and I
haye never had a return of this dis
tressing trouble for nowadays I never
drink coffee but stick to Postum.
"As soon as my wife saw what Pos
tum had done for me she gave up cof
fee which she had drank all her life.
This was six weeks ago and she is a
changed woman for her nervousness
has all disappeared, her face has be
come smooth and her cheeks have a
good rosy red color. She sleeps well,
too, something she could never do
while she "drank coffee. We consider
Postum a household necessity in my
house and have induced many friends
to try this wonderful food drink in
place of coffee." Name given by Pos
tum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A Northern Railway,
Tho bureau of statistics of tho de
partment of commerce and labor has
oompiled, tho following Information
from various trade publications rec
garding tho most northerly railroad
in tho world:
July 14 will see a railroad opened
that is destined to do much for Scan
dinavian and English commerce and
manufactures. Because tho Baltic
treezes, England's capitalists wanting
a supply of Swedish iron all the year
round, havo built a railroad from the
mines, or iron ore deposits, near Gel
livare to Ofoten, on the coast of Nor
way, lung Oscar of Sweden has con
sented to be present at tho opening.
For some time ore has been carried
on a branch of the road to the Nor
wegian fjord from the mines or hills
of Kirunavara and Narwlk.
Gellivare is an inland town of Swe
den, nearly fifty miles north of the
Arctic Circle. It is the center of vast
forests and iron-filled hills. It to much
nearer to Lulea, a port on tho Gulf of.
Bothnia, whither, were it not for the
long winters, its wood and Iron ,would
naturally go; but tho Gulf of Bothnia,
a bay of the Baltic, is ciosea to navi
gation for four or five months of each
year. Russia's tireless efforts to get
a better seaport than St Petersburg
are due to a similar cause.
That city is on the Gulf of Fin
land, another army of the Baltic that
is closed with ice for five months in
each year. English enterprise and
English capital have done and are
destined to do much in the develop
ment of Scandinavia's resources par
ticularly those helpful to English in
dustries. Tho long and severe win
tors of the Arctic are being conquered
and the Baltic defied. Even the tour
ist is to be taken, in summer time at
least, into tho wild regions over which
the road passes. It is singular that
somewhat similar conditions confront
England in her Labrador iron regions,
and that a proposition has been made
to overcome them in the same way, by
building a road to the mines. It is
thought it might be made to pay In
mnrA wavs than one: for Labrador
(parts of it, at least), like vast regions
in Scandinavia, is covered with pri
moval forests woods rich In the very
test kind of building material. With
tho prlco of wood rapidly rising, it
may pay Labrador to put railroads far
into hor forests. Washington Star.
