Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio who was at
the head of the anti civil service move

FIR l2 years he had seen this annually re-
curing motion made and each year 1t had
been met with the argument advanced
by Mr.. Moody that this was not the time,
place nor manner in which the law should
be as ,ailed. He admitted there was some
virtue In the argument. But no one
could deny the civil service law had over
reached itself. IL had throttled on the ap-

referred to that committee
MIR Hoar objected to such q reference
of the resolution.
Mr. Davis said: II hope the motion

Mr.. Hoar said the information asked

resolution was in the ordinary form Of
such requests.

MIR Davis stated that he had no
objection to the adoption of the resolu-

necessary. He believed the President
would furnish all the information that

A COFFEE EXP1RIM MT.
Not Likely to b Re ca ei.

THE work OF a newspaper correspondent
involves constant thought and study. with CON
sequent brain and nerve weartneSs 1t may
interest you 10 know OF my experience with
coffee.
Some years aga was compelled to give 10
up and after few years ahst inence started
its use again, at breakfast only. within few
weeks was compelled to abandon it, aB bS-
came nearly paray2en.
During the forenoon Of each day my arms
and wrists were so benumbcd that | could use
them with difficulty. Alarming symptoms be-
gan to develop which my physician informed
me we're the forerunncrs Of apoplexy. Coffee
was therefore foresworn, MIX. OF which was
very fond, made me intolerabIy drowsy and
stupid.
About two years ago my attention was called
to Postum Cereal Food Coffee. and u trial was
made believing that il it proved half as valu-.
able as claimed. 1t would be Of great advantage
TO me. On the first trial it tasted rather insipid
to our strong -cofTee-ovuG family. but little
ircer use OF Postum and longer boiling pro-
duced = delicious drink. and within a short
time the members OF the family, one and all,
had become ardent advocates OF Postum Food
Coffee. -
In my own case it has worked wonders. I
work more constantly than ever. hut my gem
eral health is better than at any time in my
life, and the symptoms OF nervous trouble have
wholly disappeared. About eight months ago
made one more trial OF coffee. reducing 1t
with nearly half milk. The experiment lasted
four or five days. and it is not likely to be re-
peated, The nervous suffering hat followed
was indcscribnble. aud did not recover from
its effects for nearly two weeks
