"It Is, indeed, easier to make than to destroy them. "In the past men built their great temples and cathedrals with no thought of acoustics. Hence, when the preacher preached, echoes rolled freely amid the groinlngs of the root, town the rows of sculptured columns and round and round the nave. "With wires strung here and with tapestries spread there many of the echoes of the old world buildings have -been obliterated. There are echo ex pertsbuilders, acquainted with the science of acoustics, whose specialty is echoes' destruction. Sometimes their tasks are bard. "To-day an architect takes thought of the echo. Ills building .s construct ed so as to exclude this Intruder. And knowing how to exclude it bo knows how to welcome It also. I have fre quently, In landscape work, put up r;siner houses and arranged rocks so as to create an echo there." sBNi PS A mmmmi flewYork.

Confidence in the future i remarkably bright, and the outlook would be far better than ever before at this season if the fuel uncertainty were removed. Manufacturing plants operate close to maximum capacity in the lead ing industries, and it is nil evidence ol no little significance that many mills cannot undertake deliveries before 1007. While those are extreme eases, it is a common thing to find production engaged for several months in advance. One of the best features of the iron ami steel industry is the steady demand for steel rails.

The published ttateinents of n num ber of coffee Importers und roHSters In dicate a "waspy" feeling towards tis, for daring to say that codec Is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the sub ject is quite agreeable to us and can certainty do no harm; 011 the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question ore spread before tho people they ran tbereupou decide aud act In telligently. ;ive the people plain facts snd thev will fake rare of themselves. We demand facts In this coffee dis cussion nnd propose to see that the farts nru brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee importers snd roasters hare joined n movement to boom coffee and slop the use of I'os turn Food Coffee and in their news paper statements undertake to deceive by falsa assertions. Their first Is that coffee Is not harm ful. We assert that one In every three coffee users has some form of incipient or chronic disease: realize for one mo ment what a terrible menace to a na tion of civilized people, when one kind of beverage cripples the energies snd health of one-third the people who use It. We make the assertion advisedly nnd suKgest that the reader secure his owu proof by peikoiiul inquiry among coffee user. Ask your coffee drinking trlends U they keep free from any sort of aches and alls. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to place the cause of disorder 00 some thing aside from coffee, whether food, luheiited tendencies or something else. Go deeper In your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neu ralgia, rheumatism, heart weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney com plaint, weak eyes, or approaching ner vous prostration Induce him or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days sud using I'ostum Food Coffee, and observe the result.

There are only a few Australians distributed throughout tho United States, and their number le so small that in most of the official bulletins they come under the head of "un- i classified. There are In New York city less I than 500 Australians and the major- I lty of these are such "in name onlv ' having been born In Australia during the temporary residence of their par ents. One such case Is that of Mme. Melba, the prima donna, who was born in Melbourne. Australia, in 1886, though her home Is In England. The only city In the country In which there Is any considerable num ber of Australians Is San Francisco, In which there are about a thousand. Chicago has some 300, and Oakland, a suburb of San Francisco, 250. Once every year the Australians in New York city assemble for fraternal meet ing, and It is found usually that the larger number of those present are traveling Australians. Advice Discounted. Senator Burrows was asked for ad rice recently by a newspaper corre ipondent. He gave the advice, but ifterward, smiling and shaking his lead, he said. "Advice is a thing I am always :hary about extending. It Is, you Know, so cheap, so easv. "A boy, the other day, was pushing t heavy pushcart up a hill. The hill was steep, the boy thin. He bent for ward at the work till he was almost horizontal. "'HI, boy,' called an old man, 'push Ihe cart up the bill zigzag, from side to side, and you'll find it will go eas ier.' The boy snarled back: "'Not so much o' yer darn advice 3ive us a shove.' " says "I csu't quit" you will have dis covered one of the slaves of the coffee Importer. Treat such kindly, for they teem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature lias n way of destroylnc a part of the people to make room for the stronger. It Is the old law of "the sur vival of the fittest" at work, and the victims are iimuy. We repeat the assertion that coffee does lui mi many people, not nil, lint uu army laru enmiiili to appall the inves tlgator and leurc-ber for fuels. The next prevarication of tho coffee Importers and roasters Is their state ment that I'ostum Food Coffee Is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, und mixed with a low grade of coffee and that It contains no nourishment. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their state ments are absolutely false. They luive not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of yS.VOOO.W to Huy ronster or Importer of old fMshloneil coffee who will accept that wager. Free Inspection of our factories end methods is made by tbousamls of peo ple each month and the coffee Impor ters themielves are cordially invited. Both I'ostum and Grape-Nnu are ab solutely pure and made exactly as statod. The formula of Postutn and the an alysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston lias been printed on every package for many years and Is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum. It contains the parts of the wheat berry which carry the elemental salts such as lime, Irou, potash, silica, etc.. etc., used by the life forces to rebuild tho cellular tissue, and this Is particularly true of the phosphate of potash, also found In Grape-Nuts, which combines In the human body with albumen aud this combination, together with wator, rebuilds the worn out gray matter la the delicate nerve centres all over the body, and throughout the brain and so lar plex,us.
