WHAT WITCH 2"
A Husbapd,s Question.

When a man, from coffee drinking, gets
TO such a condition that he cannot eat
breakfast without throwing ! it up, it
seems time to quit, but there. are thou
sands of weak-minded people who have
not logical brains, enough to understand
that when an article OF food drink
produces such conditions as these, il
should be absolutely left off.
A little woman in Butte, Mont, Mrs.
Fltzmauricc. writes that she and her hus-
band are a different kind of people. They
knew enough 10 quit coffee when IT had
raped them hard. She says, My hus-
band was so badly affected that he ate
7 % breakfast for three or four years He
would often try to drink a few sips Of
coffee and invariably threw ii up. When
Postum Food Coffee was brought to my
attention / tried il without having any
faith in it, but when l found what a de-
liciOus beverage II was when prepared
according to directions, and from trying
il on myself found there were no bad ef-
feCts, / induced husband to take a cup
without telling him il was the Food CQf-
fee. He objected at first, saying that he
would be sure to throw it up, but when
l insisted upon his trying II, it agreed
with him.
Morning after morning gave him Post
um without telling him that ii was any
different from ordinary coffee. His stOm-
ach quickly recovered and he began to
eat breakfast He asked me one morning
as lie asked for "A second cup of the Post
um what witch had taught me to make
such delicious coffee, and where ! found
soue that woS1 agree with him?' Then
| told him foT the first time that he had
1T been drinking coffee but Postum.
which had SO strengthened his stomach
that he could now eat much break
fast as anyone.
NV two sisters were badly troubled with
stomach disorder, but after leaving on
coffee and taking Postezn they both re-
covered their appetites and took on CON
siderable flesh. / wish everyone could be
induced TO use the health giving, aromatic
Postum"

AN IRON BAR IN THE CAR SLOT.
Eleventh street Traffic Halted and a
hoy Held Responsible.


Cars Of the Eleventh Street line were
stopped for more than an hour yesterday
afternoon by a heavy iron bar said to
have been thrust into the slot used by
the plow of the motor cars by Draper +.
Horton. an eight-year-old boy. who was
arrested by Policeman Warren, Of the
First precinct station. and charged with
malicious mischief. Friends of the youth
deposited collateral for his appearance
this morning for trial. and he was re-
leased.
Traffic came to a sudden stop about 3
o'clock. near the corner of Eleventh and
II Streets northwest. For "A time nobody
knew what was the matter, but eIectri-
clans of the railroad company discovered
that the plow Of one OF the ears had been
caught and badly twisted in the slot by
contact with an iron bar. 1t required
some time TO remove the obstruction. and
cars lined up in a long line on Eleventh
Streets, while passengers in many in
stances were compelled TO get out and
walk. Superintendent Fuller of the rail-
road company was on hand. and after
much delay. the slot was cleared. and
traffic resumed.
Meanwhile the police were searching for
Z youth who is said to have put the bar
into the slot They came across young
Horton during the investigation, and ar
rested him. It was said the boy answered
the description Of a lad who was seen to
put the bar into the slot. Horton says he
is not guilty Of the charge Friends will
look after his case today.

The Cure of Consumption
and Asthma

Made possible by a German doctor by
means Of the Koch inhalation, which

these organs a vaporized oil, process
uhIlke any other, and introduced INTO
this city years ago by the physician of

the exclusive right to use the treatment
In Washington. All imitators of this

been cured, and yet hundreds of people
die every month ir Washington of lung
diseases, just because they either do
not know of this treatment or that their
family doctor prefers to do for them
with drugs which never can cure sim

The question raised by the petitioner is
a novel one and involves the right Of a

The circumstances which led to the ap-

premises 932 Pennsylvania Avenue, which
he rents from the 3. H. Warner Company.
On May % last the latter instituted
ejectment proceedings before Justice of
the Peace Church, and the trial was set
for June last. on that date James w.
Huntley appeared in person before the
justice of the peace and made an oral de-
murTer to the jurisdiction of the court in
the matter. In support Of his plea
Huntley filed an affiIavit stating the date
Of his birth. which showed that he is
not yet tweuty-One years of age. and So
in the eyes of the law, a minor.
After hearing HuHtley on the question
of the Jurisdiction of the court. Justice Of
the Peace Church announced his decision
sustaining the demurrer. Upon this be-
ing done. Huntley left the courtroom.
after his departure, however Justice
Church. being Of the opinion that he
had the authority TO name guardian
ad litcm. il is said offered to appoint
Francis Carroll Mattingly as guardian
ad Item for James w. Huntley. Mr.. Mat
tinglY, ii Is stated. refused to accept the
position, wherCupon 1t is stated that the
court named Blanche Neff. his clerk. as
guardian for Huntley. Counsel for the 3.
II Warner Company then prepared plea
which was signed by Blanche Neff aS

In her capacity, Blanche Neff. stated.
''The said defendant. by Blanche Neff.

FENCING MASTERS AT ODDS.
Signor LanziIli Wants Monsieui
DnricuInt TO Meet Him.

| Pietro Lanzilli fencing master, feels
| hurt that +. J. Darieulat, fencing mas
| ter, does not think more favorably OF the
Italian school of fencing. Signor LanZilh
! says that the remarks made by NJ. Da-
| rieuiat concerning the Italian school OF
| fencing We're more than uncOmplimen-
! tary, and he considers that the code Of
| honor requires that the difference of opin-
| ion should be settled with swords. So he
| has issued a challenge to NJ. Darieulat
for two bouts, one with the rapier and
| one with the broadsword, each bout to
| last thirty minutes.
| SIgnor l.aDzillI is travelling through the
United States giving exhibitions of his
ability with the rapier and broadsword. He

! When L met him and told him / would

| 1t. He said many things about the Italian
! method Of fencing that were uncompli-
mentary, and seemed to turn up his nose
| at II lie appears to think that 4 man

am ready to show him that Italians can

! bouts, one with rapieI and one with a
broaGsword, each bout to be thirty min
utes long.
Il am willing to put up half of tn
money for purse to go to the victor. Thr

time or any place that he may mention.
and to meet any amount that he may
I choose to put up for the purse. If he ac-
ccpts my challenge, then we can settle
the matter of the superiority of the
French or the Italian school"
Signor Lan2illi is a muscular man OF
medium build, and distinctly French phys
I ioGnomy. He is a writer on the art of
fencing and has published several books
in Italian and Spanish dealing with the
use of the rapier and broadsword, and
with the code duello, or code of honor
NJ DariCulat is well known in Washing
ton as the former fencing master of the
y. NJ. G. A. and teacher of the Wash
