GONE FIVE YEARS.
When Coffee Left the Troubles Dis
appeared.

It is hard to make people understand
that coffee really will do business for
them if they stick to it long enough. It
is almost a certainty that some little
symptoms of disease, stomach trouble,
or kidney or heart trouble, caused by
coffee drinking will ultimately develop
into some fixed organic disease unless
the cause of disturbance is removed.
An illustration may not be amiss.
A lady in Kearney, Neb., says: "I
used coffee a great many years. Grad
ually my health broke down. / had dys-
pensia and was extremely nervous.
passed many sleepless nights but, like
many others, did not know what was
the cause of my invalidism.
Finally the trouble entered into a
fatty tumor just ever the stomach and
in the region of the heart, causing acute
pain in the stomach and a spasmodic
action of the heart. A surgical opera
ton was deemed necessary, but after
all the preparations were made good,

off coffee and take Postum and some

NAVAL BILL PASSED
CARRIES AN APPROPRIATION OF
OVER $7S,OO0,OOo.
SIX VESSELS PROVIDED FOR.
MORE DISCUSSION OF IsTHMIAN
CANAL.

Senator Turner of Washington Urg-
es Advantages of Nicaragua
ROute-Panama Company Cannot
Pass Clear Title and 1t Has Too
Many Encumbrances Attached.
Construction of Canal Would Re-
heNe Pacific Coast of OnerOus and
Almost IntOIerabIe Burdens Placed
Upon 1t by TranscOntinentaI Rail-
roads.
Washington, June 10.-Another of the
big supply bills of the government was
disposed of by the Senate to-day the
naval bill carrying more than SIS, OO0,-
600 being passed. 1t includes provisions
for two first-class. battleships. two
first-class armored cruisers and two
gunboats, but strikes out the House
provision that one of each shall be
built at government yards.
Mr.. Perkins, member of the COM
mittee on Naval Affairs, argued that
some of the vessels Of the navy ought
to be constructed at government navy
yards and he urged that the admira-
bly, equipped government yards ought
to be utilized. This policy, he said, was
demanded by the labor unions.
An amendment offered by Mr.. NAL
lory of Florida appropriating 500 900
for a fire proof building at the Pen
sacola, Fla, navy yard, was agreed to-
When consideration of the isthmian
canal question was resumed Mr. Tur-
ner delivered an extended argument
in support of the Nicaragua route He
discussed particularly the legal diff
culties surrounding the acquisition by
the United States of the Panama Ca
nal Company's rights, franchises and
property. The new Panama company,
he declared, could not pass a clear title
to the property to the United States,
and If the government purchased it
it would be with all its encumbrances.
In answer to an inquiry of Mr.. Clay
Mr.. Turner said that under no system
of Jurisprudence of which he had any
knowledge could the rights and prop
erty of the old Panama Canal Com
pany be disposed of by the new COM
pany without the old company having
been made a party to the judicial pro-
ceedings.
Il should like to inquire of the SEN
ator," said Mr. Fairbanks, whether
there has been confirmation of the
order of sale?"
Not that I am. aware Of" replied
Mr.. Turner There has been no sale,
and there could be therefore, no con-
firmation of it,"
In conclusion Mr.. Turner strongly
urged the construction of the isthmian
canal, saying that it would at once
relieve the Pacific coast from the on
erous burdens placed upon it by the
trans-continental railroads, which had
become well-nigh intolerable.
Mr.. Morgan discussed the legal diff
fculties of acquiring the Panama Ca
nal Company property, and declared
that the United States could not buy
the property without acquiring the en-
| cumbrances with it.
The House bill providing protection
of the President was referred to the
Judiciary Committee, although Mr..
Hoar, chairman of that committee.
thought it would be impossible to get
action upon it at this session if the
committee had to consider it.

Girls and Allowed to Leave Town
Alive.
Columbia S. c., June 10.-J. c. Perry,
a merchant of Spartanburg, was run
out of the town last night. Why he
was allowed to escape with his life is
one of the mysteries of mob law.
At midnight about hundred men
surrounded Perry's house on Brawley
street, where he lived with wife and
children. He was called to his front
door. but slipped out of a window in
the rear and was caught in the garden.
The crowd took Perry to a wood three
miles from town, stripped and ued
him and proceeded to whip him with
leather strops. His screams guided
the rescuing party consisting of the
sheriff, chief of police and other Of
ficers. They took Perry by his house
for some clothing and then at his So
licitation, carried him to the depot and
guarded him till the arrival of train
on which he fed beyond the limits of
the state.
Perry is 40 years old and has a
daughter the age of the school children
he has been seducing. He has done an
extensive junk business, maintaining a
warehouse and an uptown office.
The frequent visits of girls between
10 and Is years of age to his Office
on their way to and from school
caused gossip. Then friends of the
families Of the children made investi-
CATION and soon satisfied themselves
that the children had been led astray.
Just how many victims there are will
probably never be known. The reve-
lation was a shock to Perry's business

were revealed party was formed to
whip him. A legal prosecution would
have exposed the shame of good fam
