THE FRUITS
Of Coffee Drinking.

1.-THE fruits or results. in my case, of
coffee drinking. were salIow complexion,
almost total loss of appetite, as well as
sleeplessness and sluggish circulation.
It was also very bilious and consti-
pated most of the time for eight years,
and became so nervous that I was I'M
able to do any mental labor and was
fast approaching a condition where
there would have been no help for me.
Il am convinced that if I had con-
tinued using coffee much longer the re-
suit would have been a total mental
and physical wreck
Il sometimes think the a1l-wfse PROV
idence looks after US in trouble; at any
rate, when I was in despair a friend
urged me to give up coffee entirely and
use Postum. giving the reasons why. It
was hard for me to believe that so com
mon beverage as coffee was the cause
of my trouble. but I made the change,
and from the first trial experienced a
benefit and Improvement My COM
plexion has improved. the nervousness
gone as well as the bilious trouble and
sIeeplessnesss and am completely
cured of sluggish circulation In fact,
I am well. and the return TO health
has been directly traced to leaving on
coffee and using Postum Food CofTee.
I recommend Postum to all coffet
wrecks without a single reservation. =

committee had framed their amendment
on different lines or in different terms.
Great Britain could have said that we
had departed from the treaty of Con-
stantinople and introduced new princi-
pies She would not have been correct
in saying SO, but she would have said it.
My own object was to hold her as close

The letter concludes as follows.
THE possessions of the United States,
as to Texas, are less distant and as to
California, not much further distant,
from the ports of access of the Nicac-
aqua canal than are the possessions OF
Turkey at the lower end of the Red Sea
from the port of egress from the Suez
Canal The idea that the two situations
are not identical in principle so far as
the necessity of defense is concerned il

to the 1ay-Pauncefote treaty Mr. III. TT.
Kohlsaat, editor Of the Times-Herald,

received from the late Senator Cushman
K. Davis The letter bears date Com
1nittee on foreign relations, United States
senate, Washington, D. c., March Il,
1900 and is in part, as follows:
The amendment has this especial adj
vantage that it was phrased as nearly
as possible in the language of the tenth
, article Of the treaty Of Constantinopla.
Therefore the amendment so adjusted to
the treaty of ConstantinOple, puts the
British government in the position where
1t must either accept the principle of the
treaty of Constantinople which Great
Britain herself presented, or that the
lines Of that treaty which are of advan-
tage to Great Britain shall stand in our
treaty and that the lines of that treaty
which are to our advantage and may be
disadvantageous to Great Britain shall
