AN OIL LAND DECISION.
Privileges Under the Forest Reserve
Lieu Land Law Denied.


Lieu Land Law Denied.
The Secretary Of the Interior yesterday
rendered a decision affecting claimants to
oil lands under the placer mining laws
and claimants holding the land under the
privileges OF forest reserve lieu land selec-
tion. The decision IS in favor of the
claimants under the placer mining laws.
The matter has been under discussion for
some time and many prominent attorneys
have been concerned in it. Many cases
involving the point have been contested
and It was agreed among the various
parties concerned that the two just de-
cided by the Secretary should be consid
cred test cases.
The parties in the cases are the Kern
on Company, the Gray Eagle Oil Com
panv. and W. c. Clarke. The land In con-
test lies I'm the Kern oil district, Califor-
MIA. Clarke claimed he had title TO the
land under dispute by virtue of the forest
reserve lieu land law passed by Congress
Juue 4 1897 The act provides that the
0Euers Of titled lands within a forest re-
serve may surrender such land to the
United States and select in its place an
e0ual quantity Of vacant public land open
to settlement Clarke located upon the
land IN dispute, having surrendered forest
land to which he claimed to have title
from the State Of California. Some time
later he made q second surrender Of lands
in favor of the same homestead selection
The decision Of the Secretary holds that
the forest reserve lieu land selector had
never perfected his selections and there
fore decides in favor of the oil claimants

TO attend such change.
Look carefully into the state Of health
of the individual who knows that coffee

to find some form Of physical all or func-

failure, kidney trouble, liver or bowel
disorders, or some form Of weakness that
shows plainly enough by the cry for re

WhV does the dismissal of Coffee and
ments in artificial digestion show clearly
to the scientific investigator that coffee
arrests digestion, and according to one
authority, allows only 81 per cent of the
food to be digested. That strikes at the
very keystone 10 the arch of health
Failure in digestion means lack OF good
blood, and, therefore, lack of food for
the nerve centres. AS the nerves control
the organs Of the entire body, one can
readily understand that a disorganiZed
nervous system may show effect in any
part Of the body; Therefore, Il removal
Of the cause will allow nature to right
herself. A powerful assistant 10 nature
is Postum Cereal Food Coffee, composed
of the albumen, phosphates, gluten, etc,
from which nature builds IN the delicate
tissues of the nerves.
Postum aids digestion without drug
eing, and furnishes a concentrated liquid
food as well as a most delicious morning
coffee.
If the reader has ever failed to make
Postum satisfactorily, II will be found
that TO allow it 10 boil fifteen minutes
after boiling commences, win solve tho
problem, as it must be so boiled TO extract
taste, color and food value. 1t is the
only original Food Coffee with pleasant
coffee flavor. Many limitations of Post
um are now upon the market. The only
palatabe ones thus far tested prove TO
be made of a low grade of coffee, and
loud claims that they are pure"

Ralston is said to be very popular and
