down. so ! quit coffee and began using
Postum Coffee.
Now l sleep well and consequently
feel refreshed, and am much strngth-
ened. Palpitation Of the heart has
ceased and altogether life seems worth
living.
Some Of our family like little coffee
mixed in with the Postum; that, OF
course. is much healthier than the old
fashioned ccffee alone"
L is true that very strong coffee of

mating taste to some palates than pure
Postum. On the other hand, there are
thousands OF people that prefer The
favor OF Postum. pure and simple. II
coffee agrees perfectly. and people are

reason why coffee should be discontinued

the Army Appropriation
Bill Discussed.
THE PEACE COMMISSION
Mr.. Spooner Objects to Mr.. Foraker's
Strictures-Asks to Be Relieved From
Committee and Later That 1t Be Dis
charged.

The difficulty between the Senate and
the House over the army Appropriation
bill was the subject of discussion again
Yesterday before the Senate, and caused
talt an hour of as breezy debate as
the Senate has heard for some time.
Mr.. spooner, who has been the chair
man of the peace commission be-
tween the two houses, became sarcastic
at the expense of Mr.. Foraker at some
thing which he seemed to believe re-
hected on the work of the committee.
He also objected to statements made 10y
other Senators and finally requested
emphatically that he be relieved from
the committee and that Mr.. Foraker be
appointed in his stead.
Asks That Committee Be Dismissed.
Later he asked that the committee
be dismissed, but withheld formal mo-
tion until today.
The matter came up on motion OF
Mr.. Proctor, chairman of the Commit
tee on Military Affairs, that the Senate
insist upon its amendments to the army
appropriation bill, ard ask for a full and
free conference on the disagreeing votes.
Mr.. Bailey asked whether that was the
bill on which 1.-The peace commission
had been appointed.
Mr.. Proctor replied in the affirmative.
Mr.. Bailey asked whether the peace
commission had performed its arties.
Mr.. Proctor replied that the commit
tee had had one formal and several in
formal meetings, and had arrived at nc
agreement.
A coIloquy resulted, in the course OF
which Mr.. Allison gave it as his opin-
ion that the adoption of Mr.. Proctor's
motion would only complicate affairs
and Mr.. Foraker gave it as his that il
was utterly impossible to make the sit
uation any worse than it was. 1t was
this remark that Mr.. Spooner objected
TO.
A Thankless Task.
He asked TO be excused from further
service on the peace commission, as i
was q thankless task and he was sici
of it.
Mr.. Frye. in the chair-The Senator
from Wisconsin moves that he be re
Iieved from further duty as peace com
missioner.
Finally Mr.. Proctor's motion wa
agreed to, and Senators Proctor. For
aker, and Cockrell were appointed Sen
ate conferees.
Senator Spooner then renewed his mo
conciliation with the House, and at th'
suggestion of Mr.. Teller. another mem
her of the committee, finally he aske'
that the committee be discharged.
The motion went over.

The House District Committee yes
terday spent two hours in executive
session, considering the Senate union
station BILL with the result that the
committee decided to recommend that
the union station be erected just north
OF C Street. with its front vestibule be-
tween North Capitol and First Streets
east.
This is the site for the Baltimore and
Ohio road authorized by the last Con-
gress.
This change recommended by the Dis
trict Committee, it is estimated. will
save 81 800, 600 to the District and the
General Government, as 1t will
do away with the proposed
plaza in front of the station
at the Massachusetts, Avenue site, and
also render unnecessary the work OF
grading of streets, and eliminate dam
ages to property and also the cost OF
purchasing property.
Tunnel Plan Unchanged.
No change will be made in the tun-
mel with the exception that it viii enter
the depot about cne thousand feet nearer
the Capitol. And in many other ways ii

That was a matter OF policy, OF con-
