COFFEE DOES 1T.
Facts not Generally Believed.

1t is curious to watch a coffee topper
and observe how he or she will resist
all suggestions as to coffee being the
cauSe of their various ailments.
They will charge the coated tongue
and bilious condition to something they
have eaten. likewise the wretched con-
ditiOn of the bowels and the palpitation
of the heart. The salow complexion
is generally attributed to naturally
bilious temperament.
But once in a while a person wakes
UP and throws off coffee entirely, then
the truth begins to appear, and it is an
easy job to make this change if
Postum Food Coffee is taken in place of
coffee.
A man in West Plains, Mo-, writes,
"As the coffee habit grew on me my
health declined in the same ratio.
was subject to nervousness, constipa-
ton, dyspepsia, and a general weak
feeling which made me unfit for busi-
ness, and finally l became so nervous
and thoroughly broken down that I
could not attend to business and
turned everything over to my assistant
and went to the mountains in
Colorado hoping to find health in a
change of climate, but after six months
sojourn l came back in worse condi-
ton than l left.
"a friend insisted that I quit coffee
and try Postum and although 1 did not
believe it was the cause of my ill
health, I consented to try the new
coffee. / bought a package and Wife
prepared it strictly according to direc-
lions and I was wonderfully pleased to
find it so delicious and refreshing: the
quitting of coffee was a pleasure rather
than task.
Il have now been drinking Postum
for over a year and my health has
steadily improved; the nervousness and
dyspepsia have entirely Disappeared. I
have gained 25 pounds in weight and

MANY of my friends have quit
coffee and are using Postum and I do
not know of a single one who has not
been benefited. Some of these did not
like Postum at first. but in every case

Prince Henry's Arrival.

New York, Feb. 12-The imperial
German yacht HohenZollern arrived
today, from Kiel. She was not expect
led. for she came by the southern circle
and it was calculated that the run
would take at least one day more than
it did. 1t had also been thought that
she would touch at Bermuda and that
place had reported her as two days
overdue. The weather she encountered
was unfavorable for call at Bermuda
and at sea Admiral Count Won Baudis-
sin shaped his course for New York.
The yacht had some heavy weather
in Southern waters, but for the most
part it was fair and when it was at it's
best she logged Is knots an hour. She
hove in sight off Sandy Hook a few
minutes before noon and an hour later
got the courtesy of the port and came
on into North river. Passing craft gave
her noisy welcome and the man at
her jackstaff was kept busy dipping
her big naval flag, with it's field Of
white, black Prussian eagle and black
cross.
The North German Lloyd pier at Ho-
boken was not ready for her reception
and she dropped her anchors in mid
stream until fleet of tugs cleared
berth for her. At o'clock she was
carefully warped into the pier.
Admiral Won Baudissin was formally
welcomed to New York by a civic COM
mittee. a representative of Mayor Low
and an officer of the United States
navy. The civic committee was headed
by Capt. A. T. Mahan, U. S. N, retired.
anu his associates We're Emil S. Boas,
Gustav H. Schwab, Capt. Jacob S. Mil
Ter, VIM. H. Baldwin, Jr., George H.

the city. Wallace Downey, builder of
the yacht for the German Emperor. for
the launching of which Prince Henry is
coming to the United States, also called.
The officers of the Hohenzollern said
pc Aw0ul6- De fnnpossfnfe for them to ac-

in their private and individual capacity,
but when they come ashore it will be

FIVE CASES AT SHILOH.
Two More Isolated, Wednesday-All
Patients Doing Nicely.

Shiloh, Me-, Feb. 12.-(SpeciaU.-D
A. G. Young, Augusta, and DR.. c. d.
Smith of Portland, of the State Board
of Health, were here today, and decid-
ed that the case of the little child,
whose case looked suspicious, yester-
day, has a well defined case of small
poX, and also found a young woman
suffering from the disease. They were
removed to the house where the other
cases are being cared for.
DR.. Young said to a Journal man. af-
ter his return TO Augusta, Wednesday
evening:
when 1 was at Shiloh, Tuesday, l
found that the people there were per-
fectly willing and anxious to obey all
the instructions of both the local and
State boards of health, and l think that
something of an injustice has been
done them by some of the reports that
have been sent out. 49,
About four weeks ago, a case de-
veloped, which was pronounced by a
Lisbon Falls doctor who was called in
to be chicken pox. The patient was
isolated from the others, had
"a special room and every precau-
ton taken. About two weeks
ago, two other cases made their APP
pearance and the same precaution was
taken with them, although no doctor
was scaled. No new cases appeared
till that of Mckenzie, taken the other
day at Portland.
child, 9 or 3 years old, with an erup-
ton just starting, not developed enough
to positively call it smallpox. But,
Wednesday, the case was well defined
and the child was sent to the hospital.
\ young woman was also found,
Wednesday, to be suffering from the
same disease and she also joined the
patients in isola ton.
These make a total of five cases at
Shiloh, for we positively diagnosed the
first cases, which had been called chick
enpox. as smallpox. Beckett, the man
who has been in Portland with McKen-
zie, is in quarantine, but has as yet
shown no signs of coming down with
the disease.
THE Shiloh people are to be COM
mended for the good judgment shown
in isolating the cases and their will
ingness to abide by the health officials
orders. They are all in strict quaran-
tine, of course, and there is not the
least disposition to break it. All mail
sent out from there will be thoroughly
disinfected and every precaution taken
to prevent n spread of the disease.

18th CONGRESS.
0|eomargarine Bill Passed
Without Division by House.
First Bill to Pay American Citizens
Spanish War Claims.
Patterson Calls Philippine Investigation
"Star Chamber Deal"

Washington, Feb. 12.-The House, to-
day, passed the oleomargaine bill.
There was no division on the final pas
sage, the real test of strength having
been made on a motion to recommit,
which was defeated by a majority of
A. The provision to require the in
spection and branding of renovated
butter, which was adopted in commit
tee of the whole, yesterday, was re-
tanned today, by an aye and no vote.
The bill makes olebmargarine or i'm
itation butter or cheese transported in
to any state or territory for use, sale or
consumption therein, subject to the
laws of such states or territory, not
withstanding that it may be introduced
in original packages, and imposes a tax
of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine
made in imitation Of butter of any
shade of yellow" When not made in
such imitation the tax is reduced to
one-fourth of one cent per pound.
The second section is intended to pre-
vent dealers, hotel proprietors, restau-
rant and boarding house keepers from
cOloring the uncolored article. Penal
ties are fine of not less than $50 nor
more than $500, and Imprisonment for
not less than 80 days nor more than
| six months. The new section relating
to the inspection and branding of reno
waited butter is as follows:
THAT the secretary of agriculture is
| hereby authorized and required to
cause a rigid sanitary inspection to be
made from time to time, and at such
| times as he may deem necessary, of all
| factories and storehouses where but
ter is renovated and all butter renovat-
ed at such places shall be carefully in
| spected in the same manner and to the
same extent and purpose that meat
products are now inspected. The
quantity and quality of butter reno
waited shall be designed as such by
| marks, brands and labels, and the
words renovated butter shall be
printed on all packages thereof, in such
manner as may be prescribed by the
secretary of agriculture and shall be
! sold only as renovated butter. No
renovated hutter shall be shipped or
transported from one state to another,
or to foreign countries, unless inspected
as provided in this section"
The day was made notable by the
passage of the first bill for the pay
mentS of claims of United States citi-
Zens arising out of the Spanish war. 1t
carried something over $50, 900 for the
payment of 2O2 claims.
An omnibus bill carrying claims ag-
grefating s2,114,552 for stores and sup
plies taken from loyal citizens during
the Civil War also was passed. The
bill was identical with one passed by
the House at the last session. Two
other bills, which have been before
Congress for % years, to refer certain
claims for additional compensation by
the builders of certain monitors dur
ing the Civil War to the court of claims
were passed.
