HONEST DOCTOR.
Speaks of Coffee Drinking.

About coffee drinking. DR.. Hewet says:
Il have the best of reasons for naming
| coffee as among the most dangerous OF
slow poisons. My own personal expert
ence outside of the general experience
gained by my practice has taught the
truth.
AT about sixteen | became member
of young peoples society whose pledge
barred the use of all intoxicaats. to-
bacco. tea and coffee, until the age OF
twenty-one. ! kept my pledge and early
temperate habits were formed. Up to
about my thirtieth year | was an ath-
lete: no one had better health or spirits.
"A short time after passing thirty
began the rsc of coffee at breakfast.
with an occasional cup at evening par
ties. The first symptoms of i'll health /
remember came soon. and later sore
mouth and stomach trouble Finally.
well marked dyspepsia supervened. Ny
bowels sympathized. Of course. also my
nervous system became impaired Dir
zincss attacked me, and tremulant hands
rendered writing exceedingly difficult.
My diet had to be restricted Expert
enced medical advisers forbade all
fruits
Several attacks of gastritis troubled
me, and bowel complaint became quite
frequent. The shadow Of meiancholia
menaccd me and caused me to wonder
why man OF my lineage. strength and
endurance and temperate habits should
be thus afflicted.
Eminent specialists named it 'miasm.
others as noted said microbes. | row
say coffee arahica.' Why? Because for
the first thirty years | did not drink cof-
fee and enjoyed good health, the second
thirty years coffee drinking became a
habit and Illness more than kept pace
with the indulgence.
Il am now past sixty years of age.
About eighteen months ago | saw a
written statement Of Postum
Cereal Coffee. ! gave it careful reading
and thought and as an experiment sub
stituted Postum for Java and Mocha
For the first three days of the change
| felt keenly the loss of the stimulant:
after that the nutrient quality OF the
drink mere than compensated the depri-
walton, and an astonishing change came
in recurring hunger three times daily:

thirty years.

vous tone. and my strength il increas-

Zee to Postum | have made no change in

LAST SAD RITES FOR
LORD PAUNCEFOTE
OBJECTION TO ROUTE
OF STREET RAILWAY
Citizens Protest Against Tracks Being
Laid on North Carolina Avenue
and Eighth Street.

a petition signcl by 225 citizens,
proportyholders. teachers, and patrons
of the puSllc schools Of The southeast
section of the city" earnestly protest
Ing against the bill cut,,o-izinG the
construction Of 4 railroad on North
Carolina Avenue and Eighth Street was
yesterday received by Chairman Bab-
cock. of the House District Committee.
The petitioners base their objection
to the till on the following grounds:
North Carolina Avenue is one of the
most beautiful residential streets and
driveways OF East Washington. and a
street railroad thereon would greatly
injure said avenue for either purpose.
Three important public school build
incs are situated on the squares facing
Eighth Street southeast. the Eastern
High School. the Wallach and the Tow
ers. The Wallach and Towers both
have entrances for girls on Eighth
Street. These two buildings have a
daily attendance Of about 1000 child
ren, some coo OF whom are not over
eight years Of age. There is also an
other school building on the same square
facing Eighth Street. whose only en-
trance Is on that street. This is St
AIMS parochial school. with an at
tendance OF about $50 pupils.
The operation of street railroad
on Eighth Street. as proposed. would
be a great annoyance to the teachers
and the pupils. and also eniaRger the
lives of more than 1000 children attend
ing said schools
sir Rabcock's committee is respect
fully urged to amend the bill by chang
ing the route to some other street
where the same objections do not OBJ
tain.

Mr.. Shattuc asked Mr.. Landis why he
confined his. sol.citude to the immigrant
Why d.d he n1t introduce a resolution
to sto1 the sale Of liquor in the
Capitol?
Ready to Vote for Prohibition.
Mr.. Lands assured Mr. Shattuc that
he was ready to vote for that on the in
slant [applarscl. and would offer an
amendment to effect that result.
Mr. Shattuc's amendment was re-
iected-25 to 10.
He then offered an amendment for
bidding the sale of liquor in any United
States building. hut this was ruled out
Of order on a point made by Mr.. Mann
eoid ba ~
in favor of Mysteries in legislation. and
the proposed amendment was certainly
hysteria.
Mr.. Cochran Dem, MOI alluded to
the inconsistency of the great majority
of the House in this liquor question.
They were in favcr OF prohibition out
side the Capitol hut not within. II
there was anything over which the
House had control. it was the police
regulations Of the Capitol. and yet lay
after day. and month after month. the
bar down stairs was kent open for the
qualifications of the great majority Of
members. II they wanted it abolished,
it certainly would be done.
Mr. Bowersock's amendment forbid
ding the sale of beer at Ellis Island
was agreed to. SO to is.
Mr.. Lands moved his proposed amend
mcnt to forbid the sale OF liquor in the
Capitol building. To this Mr.. Wheeler
Dem. KyD offered an amendment di-
recting collectors of internal revenue to
refuse to issue Government license to
sell liquor at retail in counties or other
districts in which the people have voted
to forbid its sale.
II was notorious, Mr.. Wheeler said,
that because of the issue OF such licenses
by the Federal officers. violations OF the
liquor Law In prohibition districts ex-
listed in blind tigers and other de-
vices
The Wheeler amendment was ruled
out on a point of order. and on appeal
the Chair was sustained-i02 to 16. Mr..
Lands amendment was then agreed to

vote was received with applause.
Mr.. Coombs rep. CALI moved an
declaring that nothing in
the act should be construed to repeal
any provision OF the Chinese exclusion
act, nor should 1t relate TO the iTnmigra-
tion Of Chinese persons. and ii was
agreed to.
This completed the consideration of
the bill in committee. 1t was reported to
the House, the amendments adopted. and
the bill passed.

Mr.. Bailey renewed his original sug
gestion, but Mr.. Burrows, on behalf OF
Mr.. Hanna. objected to fixing time for
a vote on the isthmian canal bill.
The colloquy was continued for a con-
siderable time. developing some exhibit
ticns OF temper on the part OF the SEN
ators, but not tending to harmony OF
action, so no time was fixed for takin g
the vote.

The amendment was lost.
Sale of Liquor at Ellis Island.
Mr.. Bowersock tRcp.. Kan.) moved an
amendment forbiddirg the sale of liquor
at the Ellis Island station.
In this connection Mr. Shattuc had
read letter from Commissioner Will
liams to Secretary Shaw, relating to the
sale of beer on the island. He said that
n the short time he had been in Office
he had not been able to observe whether
CT not the sale Of beer had resulted in
intoxication about the station. but he
had been Informed that 1t had not. He
would not. as at present advised recon-

Ar. Shattuc said that it would be n
hardship to prevent the immigrants.
most Of whom we're accustomed to its
use in their native countries from
drinking beer. 1t was no more wrong
for the immigrants to drink their beer
at Ellis Island than It was for the mem

Mr.. Landis tRep.. Ind docs the gen.

approved?
Mr. Shattuc offered a substitute TO
Bowersock's amendment permitting the
sale Of beer on the island.
Mr.. Littlefeld tRep.. MaincN said the
question presented was very plain. II
members believed that the United States
should engage in the sale of beer. they
would vote for Mr.. Shattuc's substitute:
IL they believed that the United States
should not directly or Indirectly engage
in such sale. they would vote for Mr.
Bowersock's amendment. He was ready
to go en- record in favor of the latter

en- the resolution. and
Third. That the majority OF the COM
rittec was opposed to the resolution as
amended.
The verbal report was greeted by
laughter and a spirited colloquy was
precipitated over the question as to
whether the report was n formal one

Mr.. Foraker said a mistake had been
made. The chairman of the committee
