COLOMBIA DESPERATE.
Thinks of Sending Army Against Pan
anna to Save Herself.

Panama. Jan. 29.-News has reached
here from BOgota that insomuch as
Generals Reyes and Cavallero have
assured Colombia that the United
States will only object TO her landing
forces 'in-tfIc- c;rral zone, the Colombian
government intends to organize and
send an expedition against Panama.
Tho only explanation of this news
from Colombia is that the government
of Colombia is compelled to take some
steps to prevent its downfall. This is
said to be imminent. rs President Mar
roquin has lost all the prestige he ever
had. There is much speculation in
Bogota as to the outcome of this move
should it be put through.
People arriving here from Colombia
declare the situation in that country
is growing worse every day.

CHILD CULTURE
q Pupil OF Froebei's Says Things.

\ we'll known woman physician Of
Chicago, who was in her youth 4 pupil
of Froebcl the originator of the kinder
garten, and herself a famous authority
or the mind and body culture Of
children says of Postum Food Coffee:
Il am an advocate of natural foods
for the building up and developing of
the body and brain and for this reason
have introduced Postum into hum
dreds of families. Much Of my life has
been spent i'll giving lectures to
mothers how to bring their children
above disease by instructinG them
what to eat and drink.
Il have two of the healthiest. strong
est sons in America to prove my
theories correct. We live perfectly and
are able to demonstrate the fact that
true knowledge Of food opens the gates
of sunshine in our home.
Postum Food Coffee given to
children enhances their ability to
greater achievements in this world OF
connection. Thousands Of constitu-
lions are enfeebled in youth by drink
ing coffee where otherwise they could
have had health and strength.
ooh the foolish mother and father to
encourage in their children perverted
appctites by indulging the palate for
these things which enslave them in
after life. cultivating an appetite for
still grosser habits of intemperance.
Postum is Natures wholesome
LIQUID food and drink and when the
taste is cultivated for this food drink
the individuals path is safe and free
from sour and unhealthy stomach ac-
ton and perverted heart pulse.
There is no doubt coffee causes
thousands to suffer all forms OF
dyspepsia. and heart, brain or nerve
troubles and countless other ails, de-
priving them of money, home and COM
forts of life by the ceaseless outlay OF
doctors bills and inability to be useful
or conduct the ordinary duties of bust
ness.
Advocating Postum Cereal Coffee to
insure good health to my patients l
have never been disappointed. My

having done my duty" Name given

All the men were armed with bows

patterns aid other weapons. Their
faces were besmeared with paint.
There was no doubt that their inten-

lltt|ehe|d Of Maine Opposes Payment

Tho Senate Still on Panama and Co.
Iombian Matters.

Washington, Jan. 29.-The House,
today, considered whether members OF
Congress are entitled TO be paid mile
age Il second time. The controversy
arose on an item in the urgent de-
hclency bill providing for two pay
menus OF mileage fer senators and
members OF the House on account Of
the extra session which merged into
the regular session. a point of order
was raised by Maddox, DEM, Ga,
against the payment of mileage a sec
Ond time, and he was supported bv
Littletield. Rep, Maine, who contended
that there had been on interregnu1n
and consequently but one session of
Congress and therefore 10 authority
of law for a second appropriation for
mileage.
The interest manifested in the ques-
ton was shown by the fact that there
were few empty seats on either side CT
the chamber when the mileage item
was reached. Littlc6cld received close
attention and WAS Piled with numerous
questions as to his Interpretation OF the
law and the constitution.
An adjournment was taken before a
conclusion was reached.

called attention to the increased VOL
ume of business. Robinson, Dem,

was not due to fraudulent entries.
Mondcll replied that he had no
knowledge to that effect and said he
believed the reports of frauds to have
been greatly exaggerated by persons in
whose interest it is to have such re-
ports circulated.
The provision in the urgent def

states Of Flo Webster, the vaudeville
favorite, from a successful engagement

adjectives. Scores OF young actresses
read the graphic accounts of Webster's

danced to audiences of rough millionaire
miners on the rude stage in the cold

picturesque life, and illustrated Sunday
specials, pictured her wonderful dog
teams, the fastest in the Klondyke, and
her sleds laden with costly furs.

For all the simmer of silks, the jung

undoubtedly possessed had succumbed
to powder and paint, peroxide and cham
payne; but there was an expression in
her face Of indomitable courage and
strength. and a hint of womanly possibil-
titles in her wide eyes.
She thought of her heralded success,
and smiled bitterly. The old happy days
before her adventurous journey were
constantly before her. She had gained
