ATTHE NATIONAL CAPITAL
what Postum Did There

well-known figure at the national
capital is that of an attorney-at-law and
solicitor Of patents, who has been prac-
ticing before the courts and the depart
ment of the interior at washington for
more than twenty-five years. The ex-
perience of this gentleman with coffee is
unusually interesting, for it proves that
although the i'll results from coffee are
slow they are sure. He says: Il have
consumed coffee at my meals for many
years, but of late years have been an
noyed by deranged stomach and sleep
lessness pains in my head, nervousness
and confusion Of the mind. About eigh-
teen months ago I quit coffee and COM
menced to use Postum Food Coffee and
have experienced the most pleasing and
beneficial results therefrom.
a'sIt has aided my digestion, increased
my appetite for healthy food, appeased
my stomach invigorated my brain, cleared
and uuieted nerves and mind, and en-
abled me to sleep soundly eight hours out
of the twenty-four. It has impaired
buoyancy and cheerfulness to my daily
life and caused me to look on the bright
side Of things in general. It has fitted
mo to do more brain work than ever be-
fore, and would consider it calamity
to be deprived Of its use.
st look on Postum as an absolute cure
for the ills that coffee causes. 1t not only
cures the ravages Of coffee but slim

MOVE TO CHANGE RULES
Dissatisfaction With Present Eligi.
bility Code Is Growing Among
American Colleges.

II IS an encouraging sign to see repre-
sentatlVes OF Harvard, Princeton, Brown
Cornell, Columbia and Pennsylvania, all
the leading eastern universities in fact.
from an athletic point of view, except
Yale, agree that the present eligibility
rules are cumbersome, ambiguous and in
need OF reform. The delegates at the
conference at Cambridge a fortnight ago
agreed that many men had been ruled out
who were to all intents and purposes anna
teurs and should be allowed to compete.
1t is still more encouraging to note that
definite action toward reform is Quite
probable. ...
1t would be even more ground for joy
could the western intercollegiate confer
ence be brought to revise, it's eligibility
rules for if the present code had been
framed with a view to barring as many
true amateurs as possible. and keeping
out as few as possible men who were
professionals in spirit and deed, it could
not have been much more of a success.
L n e o al has previously quoted
men prominent in western college ath-
letics to the effect that a simple code,
merely requiring a satisfactory standing
in scholarship, and forbiddfng payment of
salaries to college athletes, would be much
more effective than the present code. In
this connection an extract from a speech
made by Fred T. Hayner of Lake Forest
at the Gridiron Dinner given by the Chi
cago Press club Nov. %, may be interest
ing. Hayner said:
Il can imagine nothing more terrible
than to be killed on the football field. For
Il can see in my mind, how I would lie
there cold and still, how the game would
be stopped, and the trainers and doctors
work over me. in vain. And then car
imagine that some one Of stern visage
and rough speech would come to where
lay, and in an awful voice say, Wake up
| there, or. I'll put you on the rules com
mittee.'" a.-s
Mr.. xHayner's remarks were vigorously
applauded by all save, the delegates to the
| big nine conference.

LET THE SOUTH ALONE
How Rev. James I. Vance Would
Settle the Race Prob
% lem.

Newark, N. j., Feb. 23.--Rev. James T..
Vance, pastor Of the North Reformed
church, who recently came here from
Nashville, Tenn, referred in his sermon
last night to the race question. He said:
President Mckinley with a large
craftsmanship tina made him the repre-
sentative of the entire country and with
a diplomacy that was more than ingeni-
GUS, succeeded in obliteratings sectional
lines, but within a year Of his untimely
death, through a series of unfortunate in
cidents the old pealousies are flaming
forth.
"The race question in this country in
so far as is negro question. is a south
ern question. The southern people are
trying to settle it In the face of difficulties
which would stagger a people less brave
and hopeful I believe they, will settle ii
to the ultimate satisfaction Of both whites
and blacks if misguided fanatics and med
dlesome politicians can be kept quiet
There are preiudices in the south and
there are prejudices In the north. east and
west. If we know better each other AND
each others conditions we should be more
tolerant of honest differences"

women were present. Approximately 1000
delegates and alternates from all the states

warm contests, the principal one being
over the office of president general
Mrs Charles w. Fairbanks is can
didate to succeed herself for the second
time. She already has served one term
as president general and one term before
that as vice-president general. and the
opponents to her reelection claim that
her tenure in both offices operates as two
continuous terms in the meaning of an
amendment to the constitution, inhibit-
ing the officers from serving more than
two continuous terms. The advocates OF
her reelection contend that the amend

delivered her address in which she re-
ferred to the influx of Italians, Bohemians,
Poles and Russians in Greater New York

relating to limitations on the length Of
service Of officers and to change the date
of the annual meeting to either the week
in which April 10th falls, or to the first
Monday in May and recited the arguments

MAN TO BEAT TITUS
New Orleans oarsman Is After the Scalp
~ %ha

OF the Champion.
If G. S. Titus, the oarsman, Is ever
beaten in a single scull race nothing
could be done which will ever be more
pleasing to the members of the Young
Mems Gymnastic Club Of New Orleans,
which first brought the champion into
prominence.
The club has long been trying to get a
man to beat him. Its members claim that
after sending Titus all over the country
to take part in regattas he threw them
down.
That is the reason for their avowed de-
termination to get even.
In Ferdinand Demourelle the club be-
1ieves it has the man who will lower
Titus colors this year, and If the cham
pion takes part in races Demourelle will
be on hand to row against him.
The clubs new champion is training
hard under the eye of James Ten Eyck,
the old champion oarsman, in preparation
for the coming season, and it is said that
II he meets Titus he will surely defeat
him.
DemourelIe was sent to the national re-
gatta two years ago to row, but fell i'll
day before the race and had to with
draw. Titus won. -..~
Then last year he was sent to the Far
lem regatta, but was only to row if Titus
did 1t was not until the last minute
that the champion entered, and Demour-
ellie, not knowing anything about it. did
not have time to get ready for the race.

The OHIO River Again Becomes a
Great Inland
Sea.

Evansville, Ind, Feb. 2s.-Floods from
tributary streams have converted the
Ohio river into sea. In some places
between here and Paducah, KY, the river
is fifteen miles wide and one cannot see
from shore to shore. Thousands Of acres
Of wheat are under water and the crops
will be destroyed. On the Indiana side
opposite Owensboro, KY, the land is
covered for a distance Of seven miles.
The river was at forty feet at 10 O. clock
this morning and rising slowly.
Steamboats, cannot land at any points
along the river because Of the high water
and this causes hardships in communities
where they depend on the boats for
transportation and mails. -
