FRENCH HYPNOTISNf
The Doctor Advises Patients Regarding
the Use of Coffee

In Paris one of the many interesting
sights is the clinique of DR.. Berilon. on the
Rue StAndre- Arts, where hypnotism
is very largely employed in the cure of var
ious diseases. Some of the cures smack of
the miraculous and the ordinary observer
can comprehend nothing OF the why and
wherefore.
1T is noticeable however, that the doctor
instructs his patients to "leave off coffee
entirely" and to some who have had ex-
perience with the drug. that may account
in part at least for the cures.
1t is not generally understood, by non
professional people, how many curious dis
orders have their rise in coffee drinking.
Kidney troubles, constipation, heart dis
turbances, pains that are liable to attack
any part. and long list Of bodily all
come from coffee. and the following is
something of the pathological reason:
Certain alkaloids in coffee are directly
poisonous 10 many human systems; the
heart Is made to unnaturally increase
its beats the action OF the digestive ma
chinery is partially stopped, and a narcotic
and poisonous effect is produced on the
entire nervous system. Some like the effect
for a time like a morphine eater, but if
persisted in, even TO the extent of one cup
day, sure and unavoidable penalty is to
pay.
Some one or more of the vital organs are
likely to become diseased and broken down
i'll health and the horrors OF invalidism
is the result. 1t is easy to say nonsense.
when the truth is told about ones favorite
drug, but the hard facts of ill health come
just the same if we persist in misusing our
bodies with unnatural food or drink. Coffee
topers can readily shift to Postum Food
Coffee if they really care for the "exqui-
site fun of being perfectly WELL for Post
um, when thoroughly boiled 20 extract the
food value and delicious taste, is most
charming beverage.

FIGEL'S TRIAL
Much Testimony Taken-None of 1t
Important

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 1.-THE Figel
case reopened today before Judge Cook
and jury. Many witnesses were called for
the prosecution. but nothing of importance
was developed. In the morning general
evidence relating to the tragedy was
given but during the afternoon testimony
relating chiefly to embezzlement and for
gerry charges, for the purpose of showing
motive for the alleged murder Of Isaac
Hoffman. No new facts were elected
General Barnes offered TO expedite mat
ters by admitting that Figel received the
moneys charged and that he deposited
them to his own credit in the First Ma
tional bank. The charges of embezzle-
ment he would. of course, leave for proof.
This offer took exJudge Murphy by sur
prise, and he asked until tomorrow MORN
ing to consider 1t. Judge Cook favored the
offer of Barnes, thinking that at least a
week could thus be saved in the trial.

Allyn CaprOn's Funeral.

WASHINGTON, Sept H.-The President
is now considering the subject of mastering
out a number of general and staff officers
of the volunteer army proportionate to the
e.00a volunteers ordered mustered out. The
lists of officers in the volunteer service have
been prepared and carefully gone over by
the President and War Department Off
cials. Many officers, both general and staff,
have resigned, which tends to simplify the
mastering out as there is no desire to re-
tain officers who do not care to serve
longer The President is considering also
the matter of six or seven promotions that
are to be made for gallant and efficient
services in the Santiago and Porto Rican
campaigns. These promotions will be an
nounced in few days 1t is probable, how
eN er, that they will be honorary, and the
officers receiving them will be likely to be
mustered out soon after the promotions are
made. In mastering out general and staff
officers some Of the regular army officers
who have been promoted in the volunteer
service will be mustered out as volunteers
and returned to their regiments and former
rank. Most of these to be mustered out,
however, will be from the number appoint
ed from civil life, as the regular army Off
GERS will be needed in the garrison duty yet
to be done by the troops.
An order was issued at the War Depart
ment to-day designed to facilitate the mus
tering out of detached soldiers and to save
them as much annoyance as possible. Enes
order states: by direction of the secretary
Of war, when volunteer soldiers, whose reg
faF-e Ists As.ve oecn ordered to be or have
been mustered out of the service, report at
military posts or stations from furlough or
ether absence from their commands, except
desertion, the commanding officers thereof
will notify the adjutant general of the
army. giving all possible information OBJ
tainable from the men covering the period
of absence, to what date and where last
paid, etc. Descriptive lists of such men
will be furnished from this office, on receipt
OF which commanding officers will cause the
men tc be examined by medical officer.
Con manding officers will act as mastering
officers in such cases unless there is a mus
tering officer present. If the station of the
nearest paymaster is at a distance from the
place of muster out, the discharge certifi-
Gates will be sent with the rolls and the
paymaster will make payment by check
through the commanding officer. Quarters
and subsistence will be furnished the men
until final payment is made

The Colonel Omitted His Title When
He Registered His Name.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Col William
Jennings Bryan, Third Nebraska Volunteers

as immaculate as if he had just stepped
from his taior's establishment.
Colonel Bryan, Jacksonville dispatches

mission was suggested to him.
Really, / cannot discuss that matter
now" he replied.
do you expect to meet Governor Hol-
comb of Nebraska, here?'
II do, yes" he replied. do you know
whether he has arrived yet?"
This question was answered at the Metro
politan Hotel, to which Colonel Bryan went
directly. There he found awaiting him a
telegram from Governor Holcomb informing
him that he would be here tonight or to-
morrow morning.
Colonel Bryan was asked whether it was
the intention Of himself and the Governor
to make an effort to have the Third Ne
braska mustered out of the service, but he
declined to say what his mission here was
He intimated that he might have something
to say before he returned to Jacksonville.
In the corridors of the Metropolitan Hotel
Colonel Bryan was recognized by several ac-
quaintances and given cordial greeting.
He registered simply Nv. j. Bryan, Lincoln,
Neb."
1t is known that an effort will be made
to induce the War Department to muster out
the Third Nebraska, and the appeal may be
made directly to the President 1t is the
expectation of Colonel Bryan that he and
Governor Holcomb will make their applica-
ton tomorrow. In the event of its not be-
that Colonel Bryan may resign his commits

Control of Surgeons.

CINCINNATI, o., Sept. 21.-The Times
Stars special from Lexington, KY, says
General Breckenridge, who is in command
of Camp Hamilton here, and Surgeon Gen
eral Sternberg had long conference just
before the surgeon general left here with
Secretary Alger. General Breckenridge
wanted to know just who had the right to
command the hospital surgeons He said
that at Chickamauga these individuals were
a sort of 'do-as-you-please' fellows, under
nobodys command. General Wilson had re-
quested certain things to be done in the
hospitals at Chickamauga and no attention
bad been given his demands. Investigation,
General Breckenridge said. showed that the
surgeons considered themselves subject only
to the orders of General Sternberg. Cen
eral Breckenridge said he found the same
trouble at Camp Hamilton and he wanted to
have distinct understanding regarding the
matter. General Sternberg said the sur
geons at Chickamauga were subject to the
orders of General Wilson, and that the gem
eral should have found this out. If he saw
his orders were not obeyed, he should have
found the reason for such disobedience and
had the matter settled at once General
Breckenridge said the same was the case
right here and he wanted General Stern
berg to inform General Sanger that he was
the proper person to command the sur
geons."

"Our naval victories surprised everybody
abroad. They expected Spain to put up
