He writes interestingly of how his
freedom from heart trouble was gained
by leaving off coffee and using Postum
in it's place. 81 drank coffee in the
ordinary form for many years; ner-
vous trouble involving disturbance OF
the hearts action resulted.
On coming to Texas 1 fell into the
habit of drinking coffee after hard,
cold rides in my practice or when in
camp or on the trail. My heart trou-
bic soon became exceedingly aggravat-

The doctor further refers to the wide
spread prevalence OF heart trouble
from the use OF coffee and tobacco,
and speaks OF the advantage gained
by patients when they leave off coffee
and take Postum.
IL must also be added that the pois-

o.n members of the House of Repre-
.ontatives met in conference tonight
N consider the question of Cuban reci-
r~ocity. the Republican members of
The Ways and Means Committee having
reached an agreement to grant recip-
vocal concessions of about 20 per cent.
There was an unusually large attend
ance about 125 Republicans being pres
ent.
Chairman Payne of the Ways and
Means Committee, presented a bill on
the lines agreed upon by the Republi-
can members of the committee, author
izIng the President to negotiate COM
/
toned on the enactment by Cuba OF
our immigration and exclusion laws,
in which agreement reciprocal tariff
concessions of at least 20 per cent. ad
valorem may be secured to the United
States and Cuba.
Mr.. Payne spoke for more than an
hour in support OF this plan. He was
Tad int n6
from Representative William A.Smith,
Gardner, Weeks and Hamilton,
and Lessler. Mr.. Smiths question con-
tained the statement that relying upon
the R. publican assurance of protection,
about $100, 900, 900 had been invested in
the beet sugar industry in Michigan
and this would be imperiled if the pro-
posed concession was made.
Mr. Payne replied that in his judg-
ment there would be ample protection
TO the American industry after the 20
per cent. concession was allowed, as
the remaining protection would amount
to about 81 per cent. ad valorem. He
referred also to the Presidents recon-
mendation of reciprocity.
Representative Tawney of Minnesota.
a member of the Ways and Means
Committee, proposed q substitute pro-
Vlding that in return for tariff con-
cessions granted by Cuba the United
States shall pay to the Cuban govern
ment twenty per cent. of the duties
collected by this government on i'm
ports from Cuba and that so much OF
said sum as shall be equivalent to 20
per cent. of the sugar duties shall be
distributed to Cuban sugar planters.
Mr.. Tawney spoke in support of his
substitute. 1t was now after Ii p. M,
and as it was clear no final results
could be secured, an adjournment was
taken until p. m. next Monday.
