CONE 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 symptom of disease, stomach trouble. or kidney or heart trouble, caus ad by coffee drinking will ultimately develop into some fixed organic disease unless the cause of the disturbance is removed An illustration may not be amiss.
 A lady in Kearney. Neb.. says. "I used coffee a great many years. Gradually my health broke down. l had dyspepsia and was extremely nervous. I passed many sleepless nights. but like many others, did not know what was the cause of my invalidsm.
 Finally the trouble centered into a fat ty tumor just over the stomach and in the region of the heart. causing acute pain in the stomach and a spasmodic &C., ton of the heart. surgical operation was deemed necessary, but after all the preparations were made a good, old, hon. est doctor suggested that take treatment a little longer and leave off coffee and take Postum and some Grape-Nuts Breakfast Food.
 I began on Postum and had it made properly by long boiling and found it de- licious and drank two cups the first morning. After two weeks l discovered a marked change for the better. Tn five months my supposed tumOr had disap- peared. my headaches were gone and di- gestion wholly restored. My heart only gave me trouble few times That was five years ago. I have been steady user of Postum ever since and am new creature today. Am in strong and vigor- ous health and know exactly how to ac- count for it.
 The ignorance of people on the subject of coffee is a constant wonder to me. all though, at one time. of course. l was just as much in the dark as any one could be. going along year after year putting into my body the poison that was killing me and never knowing it." Name given by Postum Co.,, Battl- Creek, Mich.

ANrrEs HAVE A LUNCH.
Opponents of Expansion Guests of
 Shepard.

SACRaAo
 New York, June 13-Edward M. Shep- herd has given luncheon at University Club at which the guests were Senator Edward Carmack of Tennessee and Sem ator Frederick T. Dubois of Idaho, Dem- ocratic members of the Senate Philip nine Committee; Carl Schurz, Horace White. editor of The Evening Post: Nor field Story of Boston. Congressman Griggs of Georgia and Congressman John Wil- Hams of Mississippi.
 The significance of the meeting of so many prominent anti-expansionists seems to be this:
 The luncheon was arranged to make impc ssbIe in the future any dissenslon among the leaders of the opposition to the Governments Philippine policy. They met to discuss every phase of the East crn situation and they left the table feel- ing that they understood one another. Several members of the party were ask ed if any immediate step will be taken by the leaders present. One Of the Sena- tors replied:
 "We came up from Washington to meet the anti-imperialist leaders of New York and Boston. Mir. Shepherd kindly invited ,s to the University Club. There we found that every man endorsed the action of the minority. which recently offered A bill in the He use asking for complete independence for the Philippines. The majority has passed bill in the Senate giving the Republicans notion of rules in those islands. We presented a sub stitute bill which was defeated. The ms~ iority bill is now in the hands of the House committee. The important point in this conference was the unmistakable support which we received to the substi- tute bill which, though defeated. brought out the existence of thorough harmony between the Democrats of both Houses of Congress"

 Chairman Brown today replied to Col. Estilrs letter requesting a recount. ex- plainins neither he nor the committee as he understood the situation had authority on which to order recount. The letter
The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-06-14

is practically the same as declination on the part of the State Committee. and it is now up to Colonel Estill to show precendcnt by which the committee can be guided. or some law under which they can proceed.
 The following is the letter which has been sent to Col. Estill by Chairman Brown:
 Atlanta. Ga. June F, 19o2 Hen. J. H. Estili. Savannah, Ga.
 Dear Sir:-Your communication dated yesterday, June i1th. was received last night between and o'clock. and take the first opportunity to reply
 note the following in your communi- cation:
 T am quite well aware of the fact that the convention will be the exclusive judge of the election returns and qualifications of its own members. and am not asking you. or the committee, to decide this question"
 I fully concur with you in the fore going. The only request you make is as fol- lows: "All I ask Is that a recount be ordered in the counties l have named. so that the convention will have before 1t evi- dence upon which to act in case or contest over the seat of any county delegation"
 Tn regard to this. beg to say that I know of no law, or party precedent. which would authorize or permit the State Executive Committee. or me. as its chairman, to order recount as requested by you.
 However, If you present me with any law, or party precedent. or submit any sound reasons which would seem to indi- cate that the State Executive Committee, or its chairman, has any authority. 1t will afford me pleasure to take the sense of the entire committee upon the ques- tion. Yours very truly,
 E. T. Brown, Chairman State Democratic Executive
 Committee.
 Colonel Estills formal protest was re- ceived by Chairman Brown Tuesday afternoon. It was in the shape of letter and set forth several counties in which there had been irregularities during the primary. It was on this account that the recount was requested by Colonel Estill The latter of Chairman Brown Is final unless something further is heard from Colonel Estill.
