From a beautiful farm down in Tex as , where gushing springs unite to form babbling brooks that wind their sparkling way through flowery meads , comes a note of gratitude for delivery from the coffee habit. "When my baby boy came to me five years ago , I began to drink Postum , having a feeling that it would be better for him and me than the old kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not disappointed in it , for it enabled me , a small , delicate woman , to nurse a bouncing , healthy baby 14 months. "I have since continued the use of Postum for I have grown fond of it , and have discovered to my joy that it has entirely relieved me of a bilious habit which used to prostrate me two or three times a year , causing much discomfort to my family and suffering to myself. "My brother-in-law was cured of chronic constipation by leaving off coffee and using Postum. He has be come even more fond of it than he was of the old coffee. "In fact , the entire family , from the latest arrival ( a 2-year-old who always calls for his 'potie' first thing in the morning ) , up to the head of the house , think there is no drink so good or so wholesome as Postum. " Xanie given by Postum Co. , Battle Creek , Mich. Read the little book , "The Road to Wellvillc , " in pkgs. "There's a reason" Ever read llic afiov letter ?

The state board of public lands and buildings will be considered a depart ment of the state university for the next several months , insofar as the university authorities are concerned in the approval of vouchers required by the board of expenditures in erect ing the plant of the new state agricul tural school at Curtis. Chancellor Avery signed the first voucher pre sented by the board and it now awaits the approval of President Allen of the board of regents. The university takes the position that the legislature has practically made the board of public lands and buildings a division of the university for the purposes of this particular act. Price on Cadet Uniforms Reduced. While the general cost of living for a number of years past has been mounting with great rapidity , the price of one big item for the univer sity cadet has been just as rapidly tumbling downward. The price of ca det uniforms for this year has been cut again , and the amateur soldier can now fully equip himself for $11.20. Five years ago his cadetship had to dole out seventeen dollars for his uni form. This was cut to $14.50 , then $13.50 , next $11.50 , and this year it comes down to $11.20. Is the Governor a Philatelist ? A bunch of envelopes bearing can celed stamps from several different countries , and with them a collection of souvenir postcards from different cities of the United States , was re ceived at the office of Governor Aldrich - drich from some unknown person , who sent them with the compliments but did not sign his name. Stamps from Manila , Yucatan , Peru and Cuba were included in the collection , along with pictures of the Indiana and Iowa state capitals and the battleship Wisconsin Worms Injure Fail Wheat.

Requests for hog cholera serum have shown an increase of 50 per cent over the record of last year , ac cording to Dr. Gain of the state uni versity college of agriculture. Wheth er this is indicative of a correspond ing increase of cholera or merely tea a more general understanding of the work of the agricultural college is a question. Dr. Gain believes that both influences figure in the advance. Is Not Amenable.

"Fainting Bertha" who has put to route the officials of several state penitentiaries and asylums is now as meek as a lamb in her present retreat at the asylum at Hastings. Since her transfer to the asylum she has be come docile and now spends her time doing fancy needlework. She sits quietly in her room and leaves it only occasionally to take exercise. Prior to her transfer she made life a bur den to the matron and women con victs at the state penitentiary. While Governor Aldrich was con ferring at St. Louis with Governors Hadley of Missouri and Harmon of Ohio on the preparation of a brief to present to the supreme court of the United States , protesting against the interference of federal courts with state officials , restarining orders were brought to this city to be served on him and other state officials.

ALL OVER NEBRASKA. Rampant Bull in School House. Richardson County. Miss Sailors and her pupils of Fairview , a country school about turee miles south of Verdon , had an experience that will be remembered a life time when a 2- year-old steer rushed madly into the school room. The animal was with a herd of cat tle which Carey Higgins had bought from Graham Jones , and when placed oa the scales for weighing had be come greatly frightened. Mr. Higgins and" three men were driving the cattle to his home about nine miles north of Verdon , and had only proceeded a short distance until they reached the school , where teacher and pupils were requested to leave the yard and enter the building. Miss Sailors left the door open and the angry and. excited steer rushed into the school room. Miss Sailors and her pupils made their escape through the other door. The animal worked havoc with the furnishings. To Check Deadly Anthrax. Douglas County.

The loads enter ed the abdomen and the lad fell over dead. Large Acreage In Winter Wheat. Dougas County. Favorable weather and soil conditions on the Nebraska division of the Burlington have result ed in a large acreage of winter grain , and the work of plowing and seeding is well advanced.

Five years ago what is now Walthill was an unbroken but beautiful prairie. To- fc.y 11e population is nearly 1,300. EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH ? They Are as Good fop the Soul , Holmes Says , as Water for the Body. One must be educated , no doubt , to understand the more complex and dif ficult kinds of musical composition. Go to the concerts where you know that the music is good , and that you ought to like it whether you do or not. Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons , and you will find that It Is to the soul what the water bath is to the body. I wouldn't trouble myself about the affectations of people who go to this or that series of concerts chiefly because it is fashionable. Some of these people whom we think so silly will perhaps find , sooner or later , that they have a dormant faculty which is at last waking up , and that they who came because others came , and began by staring at the audience , are listening to a newly found de light. Everyone of us has a harp un der the bodice or waistcoat , and if it can only once get properly strung and tuned it will respond to all outside harmonies. Oliver Wendell Holmes. PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS "I was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only part affected , but it caused great disfigure ment , also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red , hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. "I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help , but something told me to try the Cuti- cura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read care fully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved in a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for wash ing my face , and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a few weeks and was cured completely. I can truthfully say that the Cuticura Rem edies are not only all , but more than they claim to be. " ( Signed ) G. Bau- mel , 1015 W. 20th Place , Chicago , 111. , May 28 , 1911.

Hillocks of Vegetation. At this time of the year farmers are busy making miniature mountains on their holdings , mountains that will be scattered over the countryside before the winter is over. The mountains in question are those Termed of vegetable produce that must be kept for several months , and sold as occasion requires. Potatoes , beet root , carrots and turnips are raised from the ground -September and stored. The farmer calls his hillock of vege tables a "clamp. " He makes it on a piece of high ground near the home stead , so that it may not be flooded , and many a big grower has clamps a quarter of a mile long. First , a shallow ditch is dug on the piece of land selected. The base of this is lined with straw , and upon the straw the roots are heaped up firmly and carefully , till they resemble an elon gated cone. Over the sides of the cone more straw is laid , and on that again earth or , better still , tufts , with their grassy sides inwards. Bricks will not keep out frost , but straw will , and a well- made clamp is frost proof , and also damp proof. The Universal Franchise. A small number of men sympathiz ers took part in the suffragist parade in New York city , among them several members of the faculty of Teachers' college. One of these professors had the honor of leading the male contin gent and of carrying a banenr.

Than His Stomach A strong man is strong all over. No man can be strong who is suffering from weak stomach with its consequent indigestion , or from some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs , which im pairs digestion and nutrition. For when the stomach is weak or diseased there is a loss of the nutrition contained in food , which is the source of all physical strength. When a man "doesn't feel just right , " when he doesn't sleep well , has an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach after eating , is languid , nervous , irritable and despond * ent , he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man should use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cares diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It enriches the blood , invigorates the liver , strengthens the kidneys , nourishes the nerves , and so GIVES HEALTH 3XD STRENGTH TO THE WHOLE BODY.
