"Coffee has been used in our family of eleven —father, mother, five sons and four daughters—for thirty years. I am the eldest of the boys and have always been considered the runt of the , family and a coffee toper. "I continued to drink it for years un- \ til I grew to be a man, and then I : found 1 had stomach trouble, nervous j headaches, poor circulation, was un- ! able to do a full day's work, took medi- j cine for this, that and the other thing, i without the least benefit. In fact I ; only weighed 116 when I was 28. "Then 1 changed from coffee to Pos- j turn, being the first one in our family j to do so. 1 noticed, as did the rest of j the family, that I was surely gaining j strength and flesh. Shortly after I j was visiting my cousin who said, 'You j look so much better —you're getting j fat.' "At breakfast his wife passed me i a cup of coffee, as she knew I was al ways such a coffee drinker, but I said, "No, thank you.' "'What!' said my cousin, 'you quit coffee? What do you drink?" " 'Postum/ I said, 'or water, and I am well.' They did not know what | Postum was, but my cousin had stom ach trouble and could not sleep at night from drinking coffee three times a day. He was glad to learn about Postum, but said he never knew cof fee would hurt anyone." (Tea Is Just as injurious as coffee because it con tains caffeine, the same drug found In coffee.) "After understanding my condition and how 1 got well he knew what to do for himself. lie discovered that coffee was the cause of his trouble as he never used tobacco or anything elsa of the kind. You should see the change in him now. We both believe that if persons who suffer from coffee drink ing would stop and use Postum they could build back to health and happi ness."

MILLER HU6GINS AS BIG LEAGUE MANAGER 1 * * v 1 WW I ll 1 -. Veteran Second Baseman Huggins of Cardinals. ! Miller Huggins is playing his last | year with the Cardinals. That is, the | tiny second-sacker will depart if Man | ager Roger Bresnahan can put j through a deal this winter that will j strengthen the National league | troupe. Huggins is not. to he traded because i Bresnahan envies the brains of the "Rabbit," or because there is ilt-feel j ing between the boss and his tricky little assistant, but because Miller I M^jjf Manager Kling of Boston. ' Huggins has the managerial bee buzz j ing in his bonnet. There are not many mpre years of major league baseball left in Huggins. i Miller knows that, also Roger. But there is a head on tho shoulders of the pee-wee that contains a lot of ; smart baseball, and one that holds as much baseball knowledge, inside and outside, as almost any of the | present day managers. There is a standing order between | Bresnahan and Huggins now that if PLAYED IN VARIOUS LEAGUES Jack Graney Has Every Other Mem ber of Cleveland Team Beaten as to Experience. "Jack" Graney has every other mem ! ber of the Cleveland outfit outclassed ' and tied to the starting mark when it ' comes to variety of experiences. A ; year ago Jim McGuire led the field. | Though younger in years, "Jack" has j already performed In seven different I leagues with the fololwing clubs: Erie, ! Pa.; Fulton, N. Y.; Rochester; Wilkes* barre, Cleveland, Columbus, Portland, Cleveland. Beat It if you can. And he's still so yonug and frisky. Even Nap Lajoie, the vet in years of the squad, doesn't compare with "Jack." Larry has con fined his efforts to three clubs, Fall River, Athletics and Cleveland. "Tuck" Turner and Joe Birmingham, the other vets, also stand near the foot of the list. "Tuck's" record shows a trial with Pittsburg, subsequent develop ment at Columbus, and finally a trip to Cleveland. Joe Birmingham dis played his talent with tho A., J. and G. team of the N. Y. State league, before Cleveland grabbed him. Tria Speaker Best Player. Billy Murray, one of the best Judges of a ball player in the country and who is now acting as scout for the Pirates, awards the palm for being the best player to Tris Speaker. Says Billy: "You can praise Ty Cobb, Joe Jackson and the other great outfield ers iu the big leagues, but none of them is in the class with Tris Speaker of the Red Sox. Speaker is the heat player on the diamond today. As a hitter, fielder, thrower and base run ner he has Cobb and the others beat en. I've seen all the stars of twenty- I five years, and tho P.oaneater is tlie 1 iang." i tlio second-sacker can arrange a trade j for liiinself that will strengthen the ! Cardinals it will go through. I.aat j winter it was thought that Htiggina j would become leader of the Cincin- | nati Reds, and when .Miller was in the j running for the job he was given per- | mission from Bresnahan to open ne- i gotiatiOns for a trade. When llnnk O'Day was appointed Huggins lost out. But he continues 1 to seek a position as general director j nnd if any bids are received he will j he allowed to depart, of course, pro- j viding Bresnahan is pleased with j what he is offered. If Huggins leaves the Cardinals after this year when Lee Magee will j become the second baseman. Magee is outclassed by Muggins in experi ence, but Lee Is speedier than Ills op ponent, is a better hitter and is go ing to become one of the best base j runners in the circuit. Then Bresnahan thinks that he has , the coming greatest second baseman in the game In Magee. lie is an ar dent admirer of the Cincinnati lad for I the simple reason that he has copied Roger's style perfectly—being full of vim and dash and wide awake all the time. For the present, and probably for j the r-'st of 1912 Magee will do left , field duty. Huggins probably would have gone to j Boston when the Cardinals were In j the east, but for John M. Ward and ! his co-worker, James Caffney, being j attacked with cold feet. The bosses j of the Braves and Johnny Kling. are j not working in harmony, and It has j been hinted often that Kling is not a shrewd or smart leader. The opening for Huggins is Boston, unless Garry Herrmann ousts Hank O'Day in Cincinnati. Both teams have material that could strengthen the Cardinals, and when Roger Bresna han gets ready to talk with his foes for Huggins, he is not going to put a i 10-20-30 tag on pee-wee Miller. Stovall is slowly, but surely, whip ping his Brownies into winning form. Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators has only one bad habit. He chews gum. If the Athletics have a SIO,OOO In field the Boston Red Sox have a sl,- 000,000 outfield. BUI Armour, the former Detroit-To ledo manager, ia scouting for the St. Louis Cardinals. Tho Washington fans still believe that the Senators will cop the Ameri can league bunting. Mike Simon, who was slated for the discards last fall, has proved a handy man for the Pirates. Rehg, whom the Pirates turned over to St. Paul, is hitting hard and stealing numerous bases. It has been rumored and denied that Hughey Jennings is to manage the Boston Braves next season. Detroit has bought a third baseman named Deal. Jokes are now in order. Deal kindly with the boy, however. Over In Philadelphia the fans are Ftill hoping that the Athletics will come through and win tho flag again. The Cubs and the Pirates are hav ing a merry little struggle between themselves in the National league peu uant race—for second place. Vincent Campbell, the Boston out fielder, has improved wonderfully In I his work in tho field. He covers an 1 immense amount of ground and is a ; sure catch of a fly bail. JOHNSON IS GREAT PITCHER! Has Added to His Terrific Speed Ex cellent Control, Slow Ball and Quick Breaking Curve. "Walter Johnson is today a per- j feet pitcher," said one of the veteran I umpires of the American league re- j centlv in discussing the Washington j marvel. "I? you could have a hurler | made to order you couldn't design one s who would be a bit more effective j than the big Swede, whose name is a i terror to tae best batsmen in the i country. "Johnson Isn't using his terrific | speed much nowadays. In fact, he sel- j dorn cuts one loose with all his might j unless he happens to bo in a tight j place and opposed to a hitter who is ! weak on the fast ones. He throws a j lot of fast balls with a break on them still, but they are not of the old ar mor-plerclng type that made him fa mous. "At one time he had to depend al most entirely on the velocity of his ball and his control to make him for midable, but now he has acquired a good curve and a nice change of pace. For some time he haa been experi- j mentlng with a slow ball, and now he 1 has got command of it. Think of the j deadly efficiency of a slow one coming | after a ball that has been turned through a mile a minute. "Walter's curve Is not the widest in the world, but it is a quick one, and I the break plenty large enough to ac- I Walter Johnson. I compllsh the desired purpose. His con | trol, which always has been good, j seems to be Improving. "On top of this he has a splendid i disposition for a pitcher. Nothing j seems to rattle him. Some pitchers j ! get up in the air if they think an utn- j | plre has missed a strike in a pinch, i | but Walter Just smiles, knowing that ; ■ he can lay the next one over if he has ! to. He is by all odds the greatest pitcher in the game today and to my i mind thpi'e never lived one who was i any better. As near as any human be- j ing can hope to achieve In any line of j endeavor Johnson has achieved it as j a pitchar." MODERN BASE3ALL IS FASTER ' I Nothing to 3e Accomplished by Wordy Controversy on Merits of Old and Young Players. There may be some good accom- ! plished from a wordy controversy j | whether or not baseball is faster than j It used to be, but just exactly how this is to effect the cost of living is not so perfectly apparent, says the ! Milwaukee Sentinel. The old fellows who have had their I day and who are continually looking j backward, seem to think that they played faster and better in the olden j time, but the young men who are now engaged in making baseball history j are dead sure the old timers were truck horses in comparison with j them. There is no reason why the old- ! timers could not hit a ball Just exact- i ly as hard; run just as fast and field just as accurately. It may be that i owing to the development of pitching 1 they would not have an opportunity i to hit and run as often, and inside ! baseball may be developed more than ; It was in the olden times, but grant , all this and what's the answer? It pleases us who remember some of the old-timers to think they were just a3 good as the best, but it may be that we are mistaken. At that, it Is pretty hard to see what is going to be accomplished by the disillusion ment. If the men of today are much better than they used to be, let it go at that. Nothing can be accomplish ed by arguing thi3 question any more than can be by indulging in a con troversy over politics or religion. Boston Landa Western Player.

Canada Has Sufficient Coal for 6000 Years It Has Enough Agricultural Land for the Set tling of Millions. A report dealing with the coal re sources of Canada ha 3 been issued by the Dominion Department of Mines, j The estimates given are only based on what is known. In the western and northern regions, which have been little explored, there may be vast de posits of which nothing whatever is known at present. The officials of the department estimate that of bitu minous coal there is in Canada 73 5 /fe billion tons; of anthracite 461 mil lion tons; sub-bituminous and lignite over 100 billion tons. The quantity of coal now annually mined in Canada is about 12 million tons. With an es timated quantity of unmixed good coal, of 74 billion tons, it would, require 3,165 years to exhaust the supply. If the inferior grades were included, sup ply would last for 14,575 years. Of course the coal demands of Canada will keep on increasing, but it will be a good many years before the quantity of Canadian coal mined will equal present output of the United States mines. Their annual output is about 500,000,000 tons. At that rate it would take only 145 years to exhaust the estimated Canadian supply of good coal, and about 350 years to get to the end of the total supply. And with the increasing population, made up of about four hundred thousand per sons a year (and it looks now as if this number would be reached this year), one hundred and seventy-five thousand •' i_.

I ; t - ■ ■ '' The Dairy Helps the Farmer in Western Canada. j being an estimate of the immigration i | from the United States for 1912, the ; consumption of coal will naturally in ■ crease. 'The agricultural districts of Canada have now become so well known j throughout the world, and the vacant j area of splendid land is still so great j ihat it may be expected that the num- j 1 bers mentioned will Increase from : j year to year, and it will not be many , ; years before the Immigration figures ; i will reach the million mark. It may be asked what 13 there to i warrant this large immigration? With ■ millions of acres of land, capable of I : producing twenty-five to forty bushels i of wheat to the acre; or, if in oats, j ! from forty to ninety, and even as high i as a hundred bushels per acre, or the same splendid yields of flax or b.ir ! ley, there is ample inducement to at- j j tract these hundreds of thousands who i i are filling the present agricultural set- j I tlements and pushing forward into the i newer settlements year by year, and j leave room stiii for the hundreds of ■ : thousands who will follow. There re- j | mains not only the agricultural wealth \ i of the country, but there are also the ! ; social advantages, the home-making | privileges, apart altogether from the ! j financial opportunities, there Is the life i ! and the energy born from the knowl-j ; edge that the settler is more than a I I unit in the upbuilding, in the making I lof a country that will soon rank i amongst the first In the nations of j the world. There is no desire on the 5 part of the writer to dwell upon the 1 J success that has followed the Ameri can settler in the Provinces of Mani j toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta and | the coast Province of British Coluis-! | bia, or to speak of the thousands of In dividuals whose hundreds of dollars | have made them thousands, but atten [ tion must be paid to the fact that these | people have done well. They are fol- j j lowed by their families and their i friends, who also are doing well, j Where, a few years ago, seemingly 1 only months ago, there was nothing | but the open prairie, or if we speak of i the more central portions of these j provinces, the park districts, there are j today well tilled and cultivated farms, | large farms, too, and the herds of cat ! tie.

Some years TO, at Strasburg, the emperor remark- J some squadrons that were movuifc I tho opening up of this rich field of ag- I riculture, and It is a high class of ag ! riculture, carried on by the use of brains, and, where energy has not been endowed. It has become in that splendid air a case of Inoculated en ergy. Tho rapid advancement of railways makes the situation easy. Today one may be located thirty miles from one of the many branches of the different systems. A year from now, the whis tle of the locomotive and the long train of cars may pass the farm, tha elevator is but a short drive from the home, a splendid market la established, and all the advantages of an old set tled community are at hand. The prospects this year from an ag ricultural standpoint are exceedingly bright, and, relieved of untoward con ditions, the farmer is already counting his bank roll, planning for more ex tensive operations for next year, and figuring on paying out for his farm. He is calculating what the increased value of his holdings, as a result of a successful crop, will add to his assets. Already some fields of wheat have been harvested, barley has been cut, and the yield is above his expectation. In fact, the feeling at the time of writing ' is that never in the history of any country on the continent has there i been such a prospect of a large aver age crop, ail over the three central provinces of Canada, as will be harvest- led this year. The railroads are add ing to their already large mileage and have got ready for handling the crop thousands of box cars. The govern ' ment agents and the railways are mak ing arrangements for from fifty to six | ty thousand extra farm hands in order j that the crop may be successfully and i quickly harvested, business men are ! laying in larger stocks than usual, real ! estate men are active, preparing for ; the rush of business that Is sure to j follow, and everywhere there is the ] note of optimism, which seems to be perfectly justifiable. There is, as has been said, a vast area of the country still open for set- I '.lenient and homesteading lying in the I center north. Speaking of this part a writer, who made the trip when th« i crop was in its green stage, said: j "Just now, the whole country is a beautiful sight, as it presents itself in j full dress of living green, varied in ; shade, many places elegantly fringed j and interspersed with pleatings of shrubbery and patches of sweet scent ed flowers in rose, yellow, white, pink, ! scarlet, cardinal and purple. In trav eling over the virgin soil, I have seen j some of the moat charming roiling ' prairies, sloping hills, deep ravines, | mirrored lakes, artistic flower fields, j and natural parks that one could wish to behold, and all placed there without 'she aid of man. The land in general is heavily matted with grass, mixed with vetches and pea vines, nearly up |to the knee, and many millions of acres of which are going to waste while beef, pork and mutton are soar ing at prices heretofore unknown. Th© ! comparatively small acreago under cul i tivatlon reminds one of a few small garden patches. "When we consider the estimated crop of 300,000,000 bushels of wheat for 19!2, to be produced on these wesf lern prairies from these garden patches, some faint idea can be formed by an imaginative mind as to the Immense possibilities and rich heritage of a glo rious western Canada." The estimate of the wheat crop, as made by the writer quoted, is exces sive, but with even 250 million bushels, there will be a great deal of satisfao i tion on the part of the settlers. | in zigzags across the field in a man j ner scarcely correct.
