The wise move is to quit coffee and use POSTUM Made of wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses, this famous pure food-drink has a rich, snappy flavor much like mild Java coffee, yet harmful element.

The mechanical and eleotric levers do the same work in the mat- ter of locking, the device and locks be- ing the same and operatea the same, but the working of the signais differs. The locking of levers are premeditated order is the same in all towers. In the distant signal. which is electrically controlled, the motor is at the signal. The same system of unlocking prevails in all towers of the system, anq is electrical. There are diferent cabi- nets but the operation is practically the same and with the same results. He was in charge of that tower u to April 1, the present vear, and fo 2 year and a half previous. When he in charge of instalation, before Mr. Morrison came in charge, there was no change ir small gravity boxes, and ones were installed. The mechanism and construction of gravity boxes were the same in every respect, except the size. The Sheron (Mass.), tower was under the supervision ‘of , witness it was a me- chanical lock -and-block with Union cabinet, and all signals were mechani- cal, but there were gravity boxes there, the same as at Bradford, and are of the small size, the old style. Bradford is fully equipped, more so than at some other towers, but the system is the same in all essential de- tails. Can a gravity be “kicked” and secure an unlock? asked Mr. Fitzger- ald. The witness said he saw one “kicked,” but he discharged a tower- man at Canton Junction for doing the trick. He could not recall the name of the man and did not know gvhether he was now employed by the Tailroad company. Will you take a look at the gravity boxes in the Bradford and Wood River towers, examine the stylé, and report in court Friday morning? asked Mr. Fitzgerald, and the witness replied: “Yes, 1f necessary.” Will you do it?* “Yes" With distant at clear and whole foute elear, the second home sighal eouild not be put at danger until first home was put at danger.

TROLLEY CARS AND BRIDGE ; Two persons were killed and more than thirty are in hospitals as the result of a collision between two street cars on the West Third street bridge, Cleveland, O., causing the structure to collapse and precipitate the cars thirty feet to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad tracks below, where they al- most rolled into the Cuyahoga river. The dead are Mrs. Clara Dille, a pas- senger, and Otto Borshert, motorman. The accident occurred when a south- bound Scranton road car, carrying a Ready formation. is offered as a prize by the Ever-Ready Company. crowd of women shoppers home at the evening rush hour, broke away from the motorman on an incline ap- proaching the bridze and tore down upon the north approach to the struc- ture just as a northbound car reach- ed the same point. The runaway car jumped the track and struck the northbound car. The combined weight of the two cars and the shock of the collision was too much for the wooden bridge, which sagged and then gave way. Edna Waddington, a telephone op- erator, employed by the Erie Raiiroad company, saw the accident from where she sat at her switchboard and turned in a call for ambulances, doctors and the fire department. The portion of the bridge which fell is just north of the river. It is 25 years old. The main part of the structure was washed away In the 1912 flood and was replaced the same year by another wooden bridge bought in Detroit and brought to Cleveland. EVER-READY?
