Commission Will Present It's Cancellations
90 Congress Very Soon.
Washington, December &c.
Admiral Walker, Chairman Of
Nicaragusp Canal Commission,
when questioned today as to the
time when the report OF the com
mission would be sent to Con-
gress, said that the time could not
be stated definitely as the report
had not been signed nor entirely
completed. He presumed, how
ever, that it would be ready within
very few days. In answer to
further inquiries the Admiral said
that there was no difference of
opinion among the members of
the commission except possibly
on the question of cost, and that
difference might be adjusted so
that the report would be unani-
nous on al points. Owing to the
illness of Mr.. Haines during the
last ten days, practically nothing
has been done, but now that the
commission was together again, a
conclusion on this andS other
points might b. expected.

A GIRLS COMPLEXION


Whenever l failed to get my coffee

me curious thing that a naturally
healthy girl should have sick spells OF

right. and inasmuch as was in very
nervous condition anyhow. / went TO
the doctor for 4 nerve tonic.
He told me would have to quit

Use Postum Food Coffee" Well. I
tried 1t twice. and gave it up because 1t
tasted SO fiat.
One day | was up to DR.. Ruggles' In

that the doctor had told me that must
leave off coffee and wanted me to use
this new tangled stuff called Postum

She said. MY dear, you never had a
good cup of Postum, evidently" /
said. NO, I never have have only
tried It twice" "Weli,-' she said. you

you will observe that the directions in

instead Of ordinary coffee. ! have in

with heart and some kind OF stomach
complaint. He was a habitual coffee
drinker. but when he got down.
DR.. Rugg!es took his coffee away and
guve him Postum Food Coffee. He Is
almost well now. and says that he be-
