ON THE BABY
Coffee Even the Babies Thrive On.

The little daughter of College Presi-
dent was saved by the use of Postum
Food Coffee at a time when she could
not take any solid food.
Baby's aunt says: My sister and her
husband (who is President of a College
in Georgia) visited me last Christmas
and their little baby two months old
was very sick I thought it was not
properly nourished so I began feeding
it on Postum which have used in nv
own home for years with such grand
results.
You would be surprised to know
how that little thing improved. Sister
had been feeding it on artificial food
that did not agree with it. The baby
continued to get stronger all the time
we were feeding her on Postum and
when sister left here she took Postum
with her for she feels certain that with
Postum to feed the baby on she is sure
pf good healthy nourishing food drink. -
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum is made of the purest cereals
with absolutely no medication what
ever and when boiled according to di-
rections It is heavy with food value
and great nourisher and rebuilder as
well as a delicious drink It is also a
specific for all OF the dozens of diff
ferent diseases caused by coffee. Trial
proves this.

A Question Often Asked by Those
Afflicted With Piles.

Is strained joint durable? Is local
Inflammation durable? OF course, if
properly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with
piles and ask some old chronic who
has always persisted in the wrong
treatment, and naturally he discourages
them by telling them that their case is
hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case
be cured by careful and skillful hand
ling is allowed to sap the energy, of
thousands who might free themselves
of the trouble in few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most
aggravated case of hemorrhoids in an
astonishingly short time. 1t relieves the
congested parts, reduces the tumors in
stantly no matter how large, allays the
inflammation and stops the aching or
itching at once.
Thousands who had resorted to ex-
pensive surgical treatment have been
cured by the Pyramid Pile Cure-in a
number of instances persons who had
spent months in a. hospital under pile
specialist.
It is a remedy that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated,
swollen and infianaed hemorrhoidal
If you are AFFLICTED with this stubborn
disease you can master 1t and master it
quickly.
This remedy is no longer an expert
ment, but medical certainty, and is
sold by druggists everywhere for fifty
cents package.

A LETTER FROM ROOT.
Secretary of War Writes Concerning
the Wood Case.

Washington, Dec. ia letter having
special bearing on the Wood case,
now under investigation by the senate
committee on military affairs was to-
day addressed by Secretary Root to
Chairman Platt, of the senate commit
tee on relations with Cuba. The sec
rotary calls attention to the itemized
accounts of receipts and expenditures
of the military government of Cuba
which were submitted to congress and
which congress failed to have printed.
In requesting that concurrent resolu-
ton be passed for this purpose Secre-
tary Root says:
81 beg that you will secure the re-
passage of this resolution by the SEN
ate. In my letters to you last January
urged the printing of these accounts
upon the ground that this was the only
way to meet charges which were sure
to be made, that the military govern
ment of Cuba lad not properly ac-
counted for the revenues of the island.
Since the time my anticipation has
been justified by false statements of
this description to which wide cur
rency has been given"

of Cheyenne, Wyoming, which has a
capital of $100, 900, and the Kansas City
and Chautauqua County Coal and Gas
company of Kansas City, which has a
capital of $34, 260.
The board refused admission to the
Denver Bond company on the ground
that it is too much like the home CO.
operative concerns which tried to do
business in Kansas, except that it pro-
poses to give bonds instead of homes.
The board decided that while the com
pany may be a good one, there is no
law in Kansas for its control, and it
was therefore refused admission.

state where sand is plenty and paving
brick are manufactured in the vicinity,
in my opinion the two courses of brick
on sand is preferable, as the cost is
considerably less, as well as the noise
occasioned by traffic, and the pavement
is easily and cheaply taken up and re-
placed in case of repairs, or alterations
being needed as to water, gas or sewer
pipes. Topeka has experimental with
five different kinds of pavement Brick
and sandstone blocks have been a sue
cess; asphalt, while very favorable to
travel and easily kept clean has been
very expensive to maintain, and red
cedar blocks and native blue limestone
blocks have been a failure. Taking
everything into consideration I believe
the pavement for Kansas towns where
the traffic is not extremely heavy, is
brick. 1t is cheap, the cost of main
tenance is light, it is easily kept clean,
consequently it's sanitary qualities are
excellent and its ease of traction and
favorableness to travel are fair"

PEACE. WOODRUFF AND DADY.
That Is the Prescription to BE Adminis-
tered Touching This Years Primaries.

For some time there hay been serious re-
port to the effect that Col. Michael j. Dadys
Republican friends would attempt to
unseat Timothy l.. Woodruf's Republican
friends at the primaries in the City OF
Churches in September next. All sorts
of statements have been made about bitter
feeling between Col. Dady and his CO.
horts and Mr. Woodruff and his friends.
The statements have had q substa ntial
foundation.
1t was learned yesterday, though, that
powerful Brooklyn Republicans like Robert
A. Sharkey and William Berri will endeavor
to prevent a contest at the primaries. The
Republicans who made this report said
no step must be taken which could in any
way give heart or hope to the Tammany-
Mclaughlin forces in the Mayoralty battle,
that too much was at stake, and that the
fight bet ween the Dadyites and the Wood
ruftites must he post poned until next spring,
when delegates are to be elected to the
Republican State Convention, which is to
elect deegat es-at- Large to the Republican
National Convention.
-You see." said the Dadyte and the
Woodruf'ite who jointly told the story.

let the fur fly at the primaries and no harm
will result at the polls. In fact, a scrap be-
tween the factions would without doubt
bring out a larger vote for the Presidential
and Gubernatorial tickets, But with a
local elect ion at hand. a local fight for SUI
premacy between the two factions might
be carried so far that injury might come
to the local ticket on election day. See2
so, no matter how intense the feeling may
be between Col. Dady and his friends and
Mr.. Woodruff and his friends, we believe
that there are peacemakers enough around
to patch up the peace until the spring of

passengers and large cargo, sailed on

the loss of all her propeller blades.
The Monroe is the crack vessel OF the

thirty of her passengers were in the first
cabin About O'Clock Saturday night
when she was somewhat to the south OF
Atlantic City, with Absecom light still in
sight she was shaken by a violent jar

animation showed that every one Of the
three blades on the screw had been stripped
of, presumably by collision with submerged
wreckage
