FAMILY RUNT
Kansas Man Says Coffee Made Him
That.
"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." Name given by Postum Co.,

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.

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

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. Cities and towns are the result of
Uniforms and Diplomacy.
The gazettes have announced that
the emperor of Germany has deigned I
to name Mon. de Kiderlen-Waechter I
major of the Seventy first Thuringtan j
infantrV. To please his august master. I
the minister sometimes wears his unt- 1
form, but in It he gives uo illusion of j
elegance. The other day, to console :
himself, he said: "I believe my col- j
league, M. Poincare (the French am- j
bassador) would appear more ridtcu
lotis than I do if he were obliged to
iress as an artillerist."
Prince von Buelow, who is colonel of
lussars, rode in the grand review nt
'■e head of his regiment. 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.
