AFTER MARRIAGE.

Different Living Affects Some People.
! II, never drank coffee until after I
was married" says lady from Adair-
vile, Ga.
my husband drank coffee and I
thought it was nice to drink with him,
and we enjoyed it together. After a
while l found that my digestive organs
were much disturbed, but not knowing
the cause, went on drinking coffee and
growing more wretched each day.
In due time, three little girls came to
what ought to have been a happy home,
but was nervous and unhappy myself
and could not make anyone else happy;
to my great CONSERVATION, two of my
little girls had spasms and , a nervous
wreck found it impossible to eat any,
thing that did not hurt my stomach
I finally concluded I had heart dis
ease, my heart panied me so much after
eating, and my head was so dizzy, I
often thought 1 would fall when trying
to walk across the room.
/ tried every medicine / heard of, and
had different doctors treat me, but with
no benefit I could not sleep half the
night, and never slept sound-I would
wake out of a frightful dream only to
doze and wake again.
Finally, l read of Postum Food Coffee
and my husband got package from
our grocer; 1 made some according to
directions I liked it's flavor very much
and the first cup seemed to help my
stomach. I used it every meal, some
times making a whole meal on Postum
and bit of bread.
improved so fast that could soon
eat anything I wanted. I began to look
so much better my friends were sur
prised and said l looked as we'll as
when I was first married. I could
sleep as sweetly as child. Of course
the children quit coffee and drank Pos
tum, and they all began to fatten and
the spasms stopped.
I wish I could impress it on every
weak, nervous person to abandon coffee
and use Postum Cereal. If every nerv-
Gus person could have seen me in my
nervous aff1iction from drinking coffee,
and could now see me and my little
ones around the table enjoying our
Postum, they surely would never in
dulge in coffee again. for there is no
more nervous prostration; no more
headaches; no more spasms, and am
able to do my own work and care for
my children" Name given by Postum
Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Position of Order.

Chicago. July 15.-John F. Finerty, pres
ident of the United Irish League of Am
erica gave to the press tonight the fol-
lowing signed statement:
Reports emanating from Denver would
make 1t appear that the United Irish
League is seeking the endorsement of
the national convention of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians. now convened in
that city l desire to state that while
holding the A. o. H. in the highest es-
TEEN, the United Irish League is not

indorsed by five-sixths of the Irish nation
at home and by vast majority of the
Irish race abroad, including most of the
rank and file of the Ancient Order of
Hibernians. The United Irish League is
not seeking fight with any other Irish
organization and recognizes as its enemy
the British government alone, and all
efforts made by designing persons to di-
vert It's energies into the cauldron of
faction will be rebuked by all friends of
Irish liberty.

A Thunder Storm Breaks Over Long

Oyster Bay, N Y, July 15.-While Mrs.
Roosevelt was entertaining the ladies of
the st. Hilda society on the Mayhower
this afternoon a terrific thunderstorm
broke over Long Island Sound, but as

MAY YET EXTRADITE
GAYNOR AND GREEN
ATTORNEYS FOR STATE OF GEoR-
GIA NOW FEEL CONFIDENT
THAT THE FUGITivEs CAN BE
BROUGHT BACK TO U. S.

Washington, July 15.-The officials here
who are seeking to secure the extradition
from Canada of Green and Garnor are
now feeling more confidence in the sue
cess of their efforts. The reason for
their optimism Is a change in the method
of procedure, they having framed their
application fer the extradition treaty.
This was done on the ground that the
language of the treaty relative to "receiv-
ing any money, valuable security or other
property knowing the same to have been
embezzled, stolen or fraudulently OBJ
tanned" actually fits the offense of which
the men are alleged to have been guilty.
1t is expected that the Canadian court
will be relieved of the necessity Of ruling
on the objection made by the defendants.
that the crime charged in the indictment
does not correspond with the treaty. I'm
der the new application the court simply
will be required to decide whether or not
a prima facie case of receiving stolen
moneys has been made out against Cay
nor and Green.
If the gentlemen are surrendered under
extradition proceedings the Georgia
courts will be obliged to decide the diff
ficult and delicate question whether Gay
nor and Green can be tried for con-
spiracy. as indicted, after having been
ordered from Canada on warrant which
does not charge that offense.

State Offered to Drop the Case
If $5oo,ooo Were Paid-Pro-
test Against His Conduct.
ERWIN WOULD COMPROMISE

Quebec, July 15.-Messrs. Gaynor and
Green filed answers today to the motions
made by counsel for the United States to
quesh the wrlts of habeas corpus issued
by Judge caron on June 20 and 21. Should
the writs be set aside the extradition
proceedings will be heard on their merits.
Among the reasons set forth by counsel
for Green and Gaynor for denying the
motion to quash the writs were the fol-
lowing
The motions and all proceedings in
connection with the demand for their esc-
tradition were not authorized by the
United States Of America, which is an
entire stranger in the case.
That no power of attorney nor creden-
tials from the United States government
have been filed in the record by the sup
posed counsel for the United States, al
though frequently asked for.
That the present proceedings do not
in any manner conflict with those taken
before Judge Andrews, as previous to
the latter rendering his judgment the
accused had abandoned their writs of
habeas corpus then pending before Judge
Andrews
That when Marion Edwin made the
complaint upon which the demand for
extradition made before Commissioner
Lafontaine he rendered himself un-
worthy of continuing said proceedings in
his name, as he had offered the accused
to compromise by abandoning the de-
mand of extradition on their payment of
a sum of $500,0O0.
That Erwin, with the object of influence
ing public opinion in the United States,
transmitted to Attorney General Knox
a report of the proceedings In this case
very injurious to the administration and
judicial authority of Canada.
In conclusion the accused protested
against Mr.. Erwins conduct and reiter-
ated their accusation that he offered to
settle the present care for $500.000

in dead or alive. The sheriff organized

volley from his revolver.

MITCHELL TO RULE
THE CONVENTION
Anthracite Men Do Not Favor
a General Strike
FEW DELEGATES ARRIVING
Men Say If They Persuade BitumInous
Miners to Break Contracts Com
pany Would Naturally Expect
Them to Do Likewise.

Indianapolis. July 15-Not a sufficient
number of delegates to the miners ma
tional convention, which meets Thurs
day, have yet arrived to make 1t possible
to form anything approaching an accu-
rate forecast of the action to be taken.
President Mitchell is not expected be-
fore tomorrow morning and from the
talk of such delegates as have already
arrived it is evident that he will domi-
nate the convention completely There
is among the anthraee1 miners who have
arrived strong stntiment against a
strike of the bituminous miners They
claim they have one desire above all
others = to obtain from the anthracite
operators an agreement, and that the
strike of the soft coal miners would not
aid them in securing this.
What sort of place would we be In"
said an anthracite delegate from West
Virginia, IF we got the soft coal men
to violate contract they have already
made? What would the operators say to
us after that? They would simply tell us
that, inasmuch as we induced others to
break their contracts, we were men who
would not be likely to keep contracts or
cur own.
''The delegates from the anthracite re-
gions will not be so keen for a strike as
people seem to think they WILL
1t is said the miners from Illinois will
have a potent voice In determining the
action of the convention. Messages have
been published that the men from that
state were opposed to a strike with the
exception of one delegate, who will vote
for walk-out of the soft coal men. There
is but one delegate from Illinois now in
the city, and he is unInstructeo. Leon
Greenbaum. a member of the Socialist
PARTY, is here and report has been cur
rent that the socialists have sent him
for the purpose of inducing the men to
strike. He says he Is not here for any
such purpose, and that he has come solely
to aid the men by any means in the
power of the socialist party, financially
or otherwise. The delegates say 1t is the
desire of the socialist parry TO aid the
miners, with The hope that 1t will
strengthen the party at large In the next
elections.
