Many of ihe horses wintered at the track, and most of them are about ready for racing. The track is said to be in good shape, having settled wel! and being, It fs est!- mated, three or four seconds faster than it was during the meeting last fall, This fall meeting was not only the most successful ever held by the club, but also one of the most successful, both from a racing and financial standpoint, ever given In this sec- tfon of the country. The coming meeting will, it is believed, be no less successful, and horsemen from the north, south and west are expected in great numbers. The sport “between the flags” will be of an unusually high class, the number of noted “timber toppers” ‘already at the track being very larze.

Osage Indians A delegation of Osage Indians who have been visiting the Capitol within a d two will be requested to remain away here- after. Inquiry into thelr status by the offi- cials has developed the fact that these Indians were off their reservation without leave, and that furthermore their reserva- tion is quarantined for smallpox. The Capitol officials notified the health authorities of the District. and the Indians will be watched while they remain in Washington. RECLAMATION OF LAND. Interest Manifested in the Subject of Irrigation. “No investigation by the census office h aroused a more active and sympathetic in- terest than that relating to land reclama- tion by irrigation," says Hydrographer Newell, in charge of irrigation in both the census office and. the geological survey. “The east is quite as much alive to the im- portance of the subject as the west. Its manufacturers and jobbers see in the grow- ing west a market of greater absorbing capacity and quicker returns than in that of the new insular acquisitions, and urge the government to go to the bottom of the entire problem. “The Canadians, sometimes regarded as slow, have set an example to the United States in the business-like way in which they have goné about the problem of the public domain. They also have vast tracts of arid land lying east of the Rocky moun- tains and north of Montana. In spite of a relatively low temperature, they have dem- onstrated the success of irrigation in a broad and practical manner. “Instead of allowing development to pro- ceed in a haphazard way, they drew a les- son from failures and mistakes on this side CAUSE UNKNOWN. FINALLY FOUND TO LIE IN THE COFFEE. “We have bad a curlous and unpleasant exper- fence with coffee drinking, husband and I. 1 have been a great sufferer for several years with Indi- gestion and heart trouble, and did not know the cause of it until T finally came to the conclusion that it was the use of coffee. 80 we abandoned the coffee and took up Postam Cereal Food Coffee, which J had seen advertised in the dally papers. “Since using it I have, to my great surprise, im- proved wonderfully. Husband has gained 11 pounds in two months since he left off coffee and began the use of Postum. He sleeps sonndly at night now, wich be does not remember having done for several ycass before on aeconut of nery- ousness. It it remarkable that people go on in Hl henith and do not discover the cause of the trouble. “You may depend upon it we know how to make Postum good, and that ix easy, If one will use a sufficient amount and boil it long enough.
