THE HUSBAND WAS "TOUCHY."

1T is great wonder to me that
ordinary social forms are not taught
in the schools" said man from the
east yesterday Il had occasion to
write a business letter to a married
lady in Walla Walla county a few
days ago and addressed it in the most
formal manner, viz: MY Dear
Madam" This phrase is set down in
books on social matters as thoroughly
business like to people with whom
only slightly. And yet her husband
got mad because he said l wrote to
his wife lin tone of familiarity"
OF course ne showed his ignorance
and like all ignoramuses stuck to his
contention. | had further occasion
to write to his wife in answer to her
letter of inquiry about seeds and to
placate her husband addressed her
as Dear Madam term that is set
down in books of good form to be ap-
piled to close acquaintance. Her
husband showed his ignorance again
by thinking that this form of address
was more formal and acceptable, yet
he was not quite pleased. My next
letter was addressed to the lady as
Madam. a term that is almost in
sulting in it's brevity and one which
is only used in letters OF anger
Strange to say, the husband Of the
lady thought this form of address to
his wife was exactly the proper thing
and thereby he again showed his Ia
mentable ignorance.
ITO sum it ell up, Dear Sir or
Dear Madam are very friendly terms
of address and denote long acquaint-
ance; My Dear Sir or My Dear
Madam denote slight acquaintance
or no acquaintance at all and are
used in correct business correspond
ence; while Sir or Madam are used
practically in correspondence when
people are enemies or desire to end
acquaintance"

DEMOCRATS ON CUBAN BILL.
Ma Jority OF Ways and Means Committee
Members Favor Its PASSAGE.

WARRINGTON, Nov. l6.-The Democrats Of
the Ways and Means Committee this morn
ing filed two minority reports or the Cuban
Reciprocity bill, one signed by Representa-
tivss Williams, Mcclellan, Swanson and
Clark, and the other by Representative
Cooper Of Texas. Representative Robert
son OF Louisiana signed neither report.
The Williams report protests against the
fve year clause Of the bill on the ground
that one Congress- hak no right to bind sue
ceeding Congresses, as 10 attempted In the
case of the importation Of Cuban sugar, and
protests also against the propositi ion to fix
unalterably for definite period the duties
upon articles imported from any other
foreign country. 1t also contends for the
abolition Of the diGerential on refined sugar,
The report then adds that II the amend
ment proposed by the minority to abolish
the dfrerential be not adopted. ave still
recommend the passage of the bill, because
we think that the good to be done by it's
passage will far overbalance the evil which
will result from failure to take advanta &C
Of an opportunity to diminish the power

from the bad precedent in proposing

Earding the Course TO Pursue.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-A caucus OF
Democratic Senator's was held this after
noon immediately after adjournment Of the
Senate to reach an agreement, if possible,
on the Panama canal question.
There was great diversity of opinion

DALEY, Carmack and Stone, favored a
resolution offered by Mr.. Carnack, declar-

treaty WAS rejected by Colombia, and that

POSTUM CEREAL.
AN OLD TIMER
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum Food
Coffee since it came upon the market Q
years ago knows from experience the
necessity Of using Postum in place Of
coffee II one values health and a steady
brain.
She says: AT the time Postum was
first put on the market I was suffering
from nervous dyspepsia and my phys-
tea or coffee. Finally l decided to take
his advice and try Postum and got sample
and had it carefully prepared, finding it
delicious to the taste. So l continued
its use and very soon its beneficial effects
convinced me Of its value for I got we'll
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking coffee
all his life until it had affected his nerves
terribly. l persuaded him to shift to
Postum and it was easy to get him to make
the change for the Postum is so delicious
1t certainly worked wonders for him.
"We soon learned that Postum does not
exhilarate or depress and does not stimu-
late but steadily and honestly strengthens
the nerves and the stomach. To make q
long story short our entire family have now
used Postum for eight years with COM
pletely satisfying results as shown in our
finc condition Of health and VIC have
noticed rather unexpected improvement
in brain and nerve power Name given
by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power always
follow the use oi Postum in place of coffee,
sometimes in n very marked manner.
