Because of the disposal of some of the larger stables and the dietribution of blue ribbon winners throughout the country there will be quite a number of new exhibitors this year who will show in strings of two or three instead of that many dozen as formerly. The entry list, however, has riot suffered from this distribution and far exceeds Camso Is^ EimselJ Again (Plerrett R. Key, In the New York World.) Enrico Caruso Is his former vocal self again. The most distinguished of operatic tenors, whose throat trou- blea prevented him from singing here after last February, made his first re-appearance at the Metropolitan Opera house last night, when the twenty-sixth season was begun with Verdi’s “Aida.” Caruso’s singing popularity proved itself with the rising of the curtain and-before he took breath to deliver his initial phrase. Catching a first glimpse of the long-absent Italian the audience swept him a w61come through the medium of gloved palms. Away up in the topmost balcony enthusiastic countrymen of the illus trious tenor, exultant orer his re turn. called out a greying In their common tongue. The tenseness ordi narily felt on an opening night seem ed heightened on this occasion, which meant so much to the swarthy, heavy set man on the far side of the foot lights and the people whose eyes seemed .as glued to him.. The main floor seats, usually scant ily filled when the hour of a Metro politan operatic performance arrives, held the bulk of its smartly garbed humanity when Conductor Toscanini entered the orchestra pit and rals ed his stick to signal for the introduc tory measures from his orchestra. »ren a tew boxholders had fore gone the luxury of leisurely and tar dy arrival to be on hand for tl^e aria, "Celeste« Aida,” sung by Ra- dames 10 minutes after the opera goes on. that of previous shows.

Postum is known to be free from any drug whatever, and is rich in the vital elements which make for sturdy vigor. “ThereV a Reason’^ QUIT COFFEE AND TEA , What the Great German Specialist Says. It disappoints some people to be told that coffee and tea cause disease. But it is best to look squarely at facts and set the face towards health for that’s more fun than anything else anyhow. A Cincinnati man consulted a Berlin physician on nervous dis eases and say^: “Four years ago I was an habitual coffee drinker having used it for 25 years and being naturally of a nervous temperament I became almost a ner vous wreck, greatly suffering from insomnia, almost constantly consti pated and weighing only 128 pounds. *r consulted physicians and took emdicine all the time but had no re lief. About three and a half years ago I went abroad and while in eBrlin heard frequently of a great physician, Prof. Mendel, an authority on nervous trouble, so I reselved to consult him. “Prof. Mendel surprised me very much by asking at once if was a cof fee drinker and on my telling him I used it two or three times a day he said, ‘It Is poison.’ After carefully examining me he told me there was nothing the matter with me whatever but what could be entirely cured In 30 days by letting coffee and other stim ulants alontf and dieting. “I had a hard time following his ad vice. I did not know what to do un til I came home and tx^d my wife who got some Postum. We tried it but at first did not like it; then we went over the directions on the package to gether and found *^®t boiled It long enough. “That was the beginning of the end of my trouble, for the Postum was de licious after that and I drank it regu larly and it helped from the start. “In a very short time I began to feel much better and in the last three years I haven’t been absent from business one hour on account of ill health, for my health is fine now. I have a good appetite, sleep well and weigh 175 pounds.” t. # Any nervwis person who drinks coi- fee or tea will feel better from a 10 days’ change-to Postum. Trial easily proves this. “Look in pkgs, for a copy of the fa mous little book, “The Road to Well- vllle.” (Greenville Daily News.) . i That the management of the South ern Railway is optiiiiistic as to indus trial conditions throughout the coun try, is admirably borne out in the an nouncement made yesterday, through the local office of the company, that this railway contracted for some 2,- 450 new freight cars. These addi tions to the freight equipment of the Southern Railway company are all in addition ,to the purchase just consum mated of 7 Mikado engines, 665 new freight cars for the Virginia & South western Railway company. ' The contract just let by the South ern Railway company provides for 1,- 700 all-steel, fifty-ton, double drop bot tom gondola coal cars; 500 steel un derframe, thirty-ton ventilated box cars and 250 all-steel, fifty-ton flat cars. That the Southern Railway has made wonderful Improvements within the past few years, both as to equip ment and maintaining published sched ules, none will deny. A remarkable record for main taining published schedules is shown by the performance of ten of the Southern Railways’ trains, consider ed tnost important on account of the heavy travel over them as well as on account of rapidity of schedule and the distance traversed, the “Cai*olina Special,” considered for the two hun dred days from April 1st to October 17th, and the “Memphis Special,” the Birmingham Special,” the “New York, Atlanta and New Orleans Limited” (Nos. 37 and 38.) and the “United States Fast Mail,” (Nos. 35 and 36); considered for the six months ending October 16 Postum Corral Cotnpany» Limitodi Battle Creek* Michigsm surrounding the park.
