A Poisonous Drug Still Freely Used.

Many people are brought up to believe
that coffee is a necessity of life. and the
strong hold that the drug has on the
system makes it hard to loosen its grip
even whom one realizes its injurious ef-
fects.
A lady in Baraboo writes: Il had
used coffee for years; it seemed one Of
the necessities Of life. \ few months
ago my health, which had been slowly
failing. became more impaired, and |
knew that unless relief came from some
source ! would socn be physical wreck.
/ was weak and nervous; had such sick
headaches, no ambition. and felt tired
of life. My husband was also losing his
health. He was troubled so much with
Indigestion that at times he could eat
only a few mouthiuls of dry bread.
I'VE concluded that coffee was slowly
poisoning us and stopped it and used hot
water. We felt somewhat better, but il
wasn't satisfactory. Finally, we saw

of his rank should so openly declare
himself as n candidate for an office
which. II has been believed, would un-
questionably be given some of the corps,
and assert that if he depends solely
upon his services in the Philippines for
preference he will meet with signal de-
feat Major Waller is. however, more
confident and insists that the Presidents S
action upon the case CT Gen. Jacob II.
Smith will materially enhance his repu-
taticn as an officer and man of probijy.
The majcr's friends claim that the
court martial proceedings of the Smith
case will show that Major Waller was
justified in interpreting the generals s
orders as he did. and that the fact that
he (Waller) was court -nartialed will
not operate to his disadvantage as d
candidate fer the commandantshiD.
Seniors of Waller.
The colonels now senior to Waller are
James Forney, Perclvai c. Pope. Rob
ert L. Meade, Henry c. Coohrane. and
Francis H. Harrington. and the lieuten-
ant colonels Mancil c. Goodrell. George
f. Elliott. and Allan c. Kelton. Prob
ably every one OF these officers will re-

and the majority are likely to be active
candidates. The list however. will prob
ably not be limited to the line colonels
ard may include besides Col George c.
Reid adjutant and inspector and now
on duty at headquarters.
The contest. in all events, will un-
uuestionably resolve itself into a fight
between the staff and the line. in which
Colonel Reid will be put forward a. the
candidate Of the staff.
Behind this, it is understood, are pol
.tics and manipulation by staff officers
designed with purpose OF securing the
, commandantship for ths staff against the
line, and of which Major Waller is
aware.
The court-martial Of Col. Robert L.
Meade, of New York Navy Yard. last
autumn. brought forth some testimony
which. in the opinion of several officers.
seemed to indicate conspiracy to defeat
any aspirations a colonel might have TO

not rebound to the credit of some staff
officers said to be involved in the
scheme. Secretary Long was thorough

Anxious to Become Head
of the United States
Marine Corps.
SUPERIO2S WILL OPPOSE Him
Wants a Major Generalship - Long
Time May Elapse Before Any Selec-
ton Can Be Made - Soldier Sailor
Starts Early in Fight.

Major Littleton W. 7. Waller, the
commanding officer Of the marine de-
tachment in its memorable march across
Samar, has come cut as an avoweG can
didate to succeed Maj. Gen. Charles Hey
wood upon the latter's retirement 1o'
age one year hence, and has given no
tice to his friends that he will contest
the claims of any other aspirants as
vigorously as he conducted campaign
against the Filipinos.
Mayor Waller has been here for she
past few days, and has made known his
ambition to become head of the Marine
Corps. He is now only a major. bi.t in
the ordinary routine of promotion may
be lieutenant colonel within the next
year, which would give him a better
chance, of preference for the position.
At present he is outranked By five col
onels and three lieutenant coloneis. all
of whom would seriously resent his be-
ing promoted over their heads.
Precedent in Crozier Case.
The selection Of Capt. William CTozier
to be army chief of ordnance over tNen-
ty-nine seniors of his department. how
ever, establishes precedent which
Major Walters friends claim NAV be
followed by jumping him over every
officer above him in the Marine Corps
TO the grade of commandant. TOW carry
ing with 1t the rank of major general
under recent Congressional action.
The fact that Major Waller proposes
entering the field will not be regarded
with favor by his superiors. who Will
unquestionably wage active campaign
against him and probably combine on
some senior fer the ofiice. 1t is yet a
long while before any selection can be
made. but Major Waller believes in an
ticipating the candidacy OF others by
being first to enter the race and will
largely depend upon his war record in
Samar to secure him the coveted billet.
Those who have learned of the major s
aspirations are astonished that an officer

SECRETARY HAY
APPEALS TO ENGLAND
Applies for Extradition of
Greene and Gaynor.
Erwin Charges Not Laid Before British
Government, But Action Satisfac-
tory to Department of Justice.

Although Secretary H2y has not
granted the request OF the Departm ant
OF Justice to bring to the attention If
the British government the charges OF
Marion Erwin against the minister Of
justice and other high Canadian officials
in the Greene Gaynor case. he has ap-
piled to the british government for the
extradition of Greene and GayEor.
This is the direct result OF Marion
Erwin's charges. and although the pubi-
cation OF them was regarded as very
undiplomatic by the State Department
it had an effect of exposing the strang
doing of the Canadians. who were at
cnce officers of the government and
counsel fer Greene and Gaynor
Although the Acting Attorney Cen
eral explicitly requested Secretary Hay
to bring the matter CT Erwin's charges
TO the attention Of the British govern
ment. the Secretary regarded this as
impclitic. This threatened to make
friction between the two departments
and Secretary Hays action in askir /;
the extradition OF Greene ard Gayno-
has apparently satisfied the Department
of Justice.
Secretary Fay has made the charges
upon which he asks the extradtion OF
! Greene and Gaynor as broad as possible
but the case against them is not as clear
as could be desired, and it is expected
that unless public opinion in Canada be-
comes more pronounced against the OFF,
cials of whom Erwin complains. that
they will continue 20 use their influence
to obstruct the proceedings. and that the
extradition may finally be refused or

Experiments Conducted by Signal Corps

The officers OF the United States Sig

the telautograph. They have removed
the instruments to Fort Myer and pur-
chased a large supply for the purpose
of perfecting the apparatus for use in
the army.
The officers say that these instru-
ments will be useful for the coast ar
tiiIery. as written messages as well as
Cravings can be sent over the wires.
1t is not believed that the new device
will be feasible for field maneuyers. as
a very heavy voltage is necessary in
