WIFE WON Husband Finally Convinced. Some men are wise enough to try new foods and beverages and then gen erous enough to give others the bene fit of their experience. A very "conservative" Ills, man, however, let his good wife find out for herself what a blessing Postum is to those who are distressed in many ways, by drinking coffee. The wife writes: "No slave in chains, it seemed to me, was moie helpless than I, a coffee captive. Yet there were innumerable warnings—waking from a troubled Bleep with a feeliug of suffocation, at times dizzy and cut of breath, at tacks of palpitation of the heart that frightened me. "Common sense, reason, and my better judgment told me that coffee drinking was the trouble. At last my nervous system was so disarranged that my physician ordered 'no more coffee.' "He knew he was right and he knew I knew it, too. I capitulated. Prior to this our family had tried Postum, but disliked it, because, as we learned later, it was not made right. "Determined this time to give Post um a fair trial, I prepared it accord ing to directions on the pkg.—that i% boiled it 15 minutes softer boiling com menced, obtaining a dark brown liquid with a rich snappy flavor similar to coffee. When cream and sugar were added, it was not only good but de licious. "Noting its beneficial effects in me the rest of the family adopted it —all except my husband, who would not ad mit that coffee hurt him. Several weeks elapsed during wfeich I drank Postum two or three times a day, when, to my surprise, my husband said: 'I have decided to drink Postum. Your improvement is so apparent—you have such fine color—that I propose to give credit where credit is due.' And now we are coffee-slaves no longer." Name given by Postum Co., Battle • Creek, Mich.

Every 50 working days the toilers who are digging the Panama canal are removing an amount of material eqyal to the great pyramid of Cheops, which consumed the labor of 100,000 men for 20 years in the building, and the services of the same number for ten years in constructing the road connecting the work with the quar ries. "Spread in any city of the union the earth which was taken from the canal during a single month would have buried ten solid city blocks un der 40 solid feet of earth," says the Philadelphia North American. Truly, the work accomplished since the army engineers took charge is stu pendous and awe-inspiring, but the forerunners who prepared the way under overwhelming obstacles and drove the mosquito and the yellow fe ver from the canal zone must not be forgotten. Because of their work the One Year's Excavation on Panama Canal Compared to Great Pyramid. whole force can now put Its shoulders to the wheel and defy the climate, which ten years ago was death to the white man. The high water mark was reached during February, when a daily aver age of 122,741 cubic yards of material was excavated. February had but 24 working days of eight hours each, but all records were broken by a total ex cavation of 2,945,880 cubic yards. For this work 64 steam shovels were used. Thirty-five more immense steam shovels are now being used, or are en route for the canal zone. In the month of January, 1908, there were ap proximately 43,000 employes on the rolls of the commission and of the Panama railroad, about 6,000 of whom were Americans. The real work of excavation began In 1906, and in the two years ended since then 21,600,565 cubic yards were removed. During 1907 the record went up in bounds from 815,270 cubic yards in March to 1,868,729 in October, but even the latter figure, which so amazed the American public when re ported, has been dwarfed to insignifi cance by the 2,709,290 cubic yards of January and the 2,945,880 cubic yards of February, 1908. With fully 80 per cent, of the entire plant needed for construction pur chased or contracted for, machine shops erected and organization per fected, this year will see every record almost doubly broken and completion near enough to determine with a fair amount of accuracy the date on which the great American fleet, if desired, could pass into the Pacific without such a cruise as has just been accom plished. The illustration shows the amount of material excavated from the Pan ama canal in a year, as compared with the amount of material in the pyramid of Cheops.

Much Depends on the Character of the Device. The right or wrong type of steering gear on an automobile may make all the difference between safety and dis aster at a critical moment, notes a writer in Motor Age. A slight error in steering will be increased by one type until it Is fatally wrong and the car Is in the ditch; another type will tend automatically to correct slight mistakes. The former the writer calls "dynamically unstable;" the latter, "dynamically stable." We read: "In one of the earliest types of steering-mechanism used on motor \\ If a wheel be handled by Its lower most point then It reaemble* a tiller and is dynamically unstable. vehicles the wheels were controlled by a lever pivoted at a point in front of the driver usually at or near the center of the dashboard, this type be ing commonly known as 'bath-chair,' or tiller, steering. It was in a vehicle so fitted that M. Levassor of the firm of Panhaid & Levassor lost his life In an early race." When the dangers of bath-chair steering were first realized, the pub« lie, we are told, rushed to the conclu sion that the general principle of lever or tiller-steering was at fault. This, the writer assures us, is far from the truth. It is the direction of the steer ing-motion in the bath-chair type that is dangerous. If the direction of the steering-effort be reversed, the forces that were previously a cause of danger If a wheel be handled by Its upper most point then it Is dynamically stable for steering at all times. become a sourec of security. If the lever be aranged to move in the same direction as that in which the car is to be steered, the difficulty vanishes, the forces called into play actually preventing oversteering. To quote further: "It is of interest to examine the gen erally adopted wheel-steering from the Grasping the wheel oppositely with both hands is dynamically safe for steering motor-cars on any road sur face. dynamical point of view; the matter la not altogether simple, owing to the fact that the manner in which the wheel is held and handled is an Im portant factor in the problem; we will, therefore, briefly discuss the matter on certain alternative bases. "Firstly, let us suppose that the wheel be handled only by Its lower most point, then its action resembles the bath-chair steering with a very short lever; it is dynamically unstable. If, conversely, we suppose the wheel handled only by its uppermost point, the motion is in the same direction as the car Is steered, and it is, therefore, dynamically stable. Neither of the above suppositions, however, exactly represents the facts as to how a wheel is manipulated. The usual method of holding the wheel—at any rate, at high speeds, when dynamical consid erations are of greatest importance— is to grasp It in both hands, one on each side, and, when steering, the wheel is turned in the direction that the body is leaned. Under these cir cumstances the steering is dynamical ly stable, but the motions concerned are rotative rather than translational, as in the previous case. "•if, as is actually the case, the sieering-wheel is inclined, there la still a component motion acting in the manner stated. It is interesting to re call how much more suitable the heavily raked steering-pillar appear# on a speed machine—in which the im portance of the dynamic forces is the greatest—than the more vertical pil lar; the latter always looks out of place except on a slow-moving vehicle. The mechanical instinct in this re spect seems to comprehend at once that which cold-blooded reason reaches only with some difficulty." Cleaning Old File*.

We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent, or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one ■'half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma jority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain mora or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H, Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood,to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. li, Dr. A. F.
