QUITE A ROW.
Trouble in Quitting the Coffee Habit.

For more than twenty years I used
coffee and tea If missed coffee for
breakfast, had a violent headache.
When I learned this, I tried to give it
up. but found that tea had the same
effect. I was a slave to both, and
would become so nervous that hardly
knew what to do with myself if I tried
20 give them up.
Il often heard people say that tea
made them nervous. and wondered
how it could do this, when it acted
the reverse with me. for my nervous
headache would disappear at once after
drank tea It was plain that it was
hurting me. but that I had got so I
could not do without it.
Finally I thought would try Pos
tum Food Coffee, and after buying a
package and preparing it carefully, was
much surprised to find I liked it very
much. but after an hour was suffering
with a dreadful nervous headache.
which lasted all day. In the evening I
gave up and made a cup of tea. which
relieved the headache.
This proved to me that I was a
slave to a stimuIant habit, so I re-
solved would give it up at once and
drink Postum, even If I did have a
neAQacne Tor a DAY or two in break
ing over the line. I stuck to the Pos
Sum and my headaches entirely disap-
peared. I began to feel fresher and
brighter than had for ten years. Now
crave neither coffee nor tea, but like
Postum better than ever did either of
the old drinks. This pleases me greatly
FOR I am better satisfied with the new
drink than / was with the others and
yet am gaining steadily in health
and strength. I always used the best
grades OF tea and coffee, which are far
more expensive than Postum. This is
another advantage in the change I
would not go back to the old slavery
and bad feelings for anything on earth.
Please do not publish my name"
The name Of this lady can be had by
application to the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd. Battle Creek, Mich.

OAKLAND ENTHUSIASM.
Republican Caucus Adopts Resolu-
tics With No Uncertain Sound.

At the Republican caucus at Oakland
Tuesday evening the following resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved. That we, the Republicans of
Oakland precinct in caucus, make the fol-
lowing declaration as to our political
views:
"First-The results of the present ma
tional administration have been such as
to receive the endorsement of all reason
able men. The smoke is once more seen
ascending to the skies from our factories
and furnaces, commerce has received re-
newed life and general prosperity is on
every hand. The problems Of our new
possessions have been, and will be, met
with a broad craftsmanship worthy of the
record Of our great party, which has been
the principal factor the last forty years
IN the building of our great nation.
''Second-We believe in the capabilities
of the Republican party to cope with the
trust problem, which we believe is the
coming question for solution in our gov
ernmentai affairs We believe that trusts
are an evil and should be met by our
national and state government in a str1n-
gent manner so as to overcome this vast
power and to show that the government
Is superior over all combinations
''Third-Oakland presents as a candidate
for nomination for the office Of represent
alive from the Thirty-eighth district Of
this county, a man whom we all know to
be thoroughly competent and whose in
tegrity can not be questioned, to whom
we most heartily pledge our enthqs1astlc
support. A J. DODGE.

Champ Clark Tells. What Would
Save President M,Kinley.

Trenton, N. J., April 5.-About 1000
persons We're present last night at Tay-
lor opera house at mass meeting held
to express sympathy for the Beers. The
speakers were George ". Van Siclen,
secretary and treasurer of the National
Boer Relief association and Congress
man Champ Clark, of Missouri.
Champ Clark's speech was full of
sharp thrusts at the English govern
ment, Joseph Chamberlain and the ma
tional administration at Washington.
Mr.. Clark said it was the business of
the United States to interfere and help
every republic to maintain its freedom.
He expressed the opinion that Mr. Nc
Kinley would be all right if some one
would only take Mr.. Hanna out and
shoot him. He never had much use for
Grover Cleveland, but by one act Mr..
Cleveland had made himself hero.
That was in his vigorous assertion of
the Monroe doctrine in the Venezuela
case

The law reform commission has decided
to adopt trial by jury in minor criminal
cases, involving penalties of from one
to six months imprisonment with view
to securing final decisions and thus pre-
venting the higher courts from being
clOgged with numerous appeals. 1t is
proposed that five shall constitute a jury
As to whether a decision shall be reached
unanimously or by a majority the COM
mission has yet to determine At first
it was proposed that minor criminal ca ses
should not be tried by one judge, but that
the judge should have a. member Of the
municipality and the chief of police sit
with him. As an alternative to this trial
by jury was adopted.
The system has thus far been unknown
in Cuba, but it is thought the the people
will in time become educated up to it. and
that the principle can then be applied to
crimes of a higher degree.
The presidents of the committees of the
National party of Havana have agreed to
General Maxine Gomez, because of the
that autonomists should not be allowed to
take part in the politics of Cuba until the
independence of the island has been es-
