In some parts OF China the natives

Of dreadful disasters are predicted

other suparstitions. this one has u
slight foundation. The fact Is that
the bamboo only flowers once and

The reason Of this Is that the indi.

CAN DRINK TROUBLE.
That's one way to ae. Il.

Although they won't admit It many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ails get them straight from
the coffee they drink and 1t Is easily
proved II they'e not afraid to leave 1t
to a test as in the case OF n lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
anyone who has ever had bad sick
headache knows what suffered.
Sometimes three days in the week
would have to remain in bed. at other
times couldn't lie down the pain
would be so great. My life was tor
ture and II went away from home for
day I always came back more dead
than alive.
"One day was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew
that it was probably coffee caused it.
She said she had been cured by stop
ping coffee and using Postum. Food
Coffee and urged me to try this food
drink.
That's how came to send out and
ret some Postum and from that time
I've never been without 1t for 1t suits
my taste and has entirely cured all
of my old troubles. All did was to
leave OFF the coffee and tea and drink
well-made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
Our house was like drug store
for my husband bought everything he
heard Of to help me without doing any
good, but when | began on the Pos
tum my headaches ceased and the
other troubles quickly disappeared. I
have a friend who had an experience
just like mine and Postum cured her
just as 1t did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches, but my general health has been
improved, and am much stronger
than before. l now enjoy delicious
Postum more than ever did coffee"

BULGARIAN Embroidery.

The popular Bulgarian embroidery"
originated in Constantinople. During
the Bulgarian atrocities" and the
Russo-Turkish war many thousands Of
Bulgarian women were torn from
their homes and made prisoners in the
harems of Constantinople. They were
clever embroiderers, but they knew
nothing of drawnwork until the Turk
ish women taught them. Then they
combined the two arts, making a
drawnwork foundation for their en-
broidery and thus obtaining much bet.

SUMMARY OF HAYS REPLY

Argument for Uncle sam.

Argument for Uncle Sam.
Secretary Hay replied to this note
under date of Jan. >. He says that
the government has carefully conSid-
cred the grave complaints made. and
assures General Reyes of our most
friendly sentiments for the government
ard people of Colombia. The questions
submitted. he says. can he considered
only in the light of accomplished facts,
of which one is that the republic Of
Panama has become member of the
family of nations. The department
mas read with SURPRISE Hay COM
mCntS. your repetition of gross i'm
putations upon the conduct and mo-
tivPS of this government. which are
said to have appeared in reputable
American newspapers" Hay reviews
in detail. first. the necessity of Il
waterway connecting the two oceans,
and secondly. all the Legislative and
diplomatic procedure which has taken
place to secure that end.
Secretary Hay says the United States
had faithfully borne during the long
period since the treaty of 1916 was
completed the full burden of its re-
SponSibilitieS. 'Meanwhile." he con-
tinueS the great design of the treaty
of 1916 remained unfulfilled. and in
the end il became apparent, as has
heretofore been shown. that it could
be fulfilled only by the construction
of canal by the government of the
United States.
by reason of the action of the gov
eminent at BOgOta in rCpudiating the
Hay-Herran convention. and of the
views and intentions disclosed in con-
ncctiOn with that reputation. the gov
eminent was confronted when the rev.
Olution ut Panama took place with the
alternative Of either abandoning the
chief benefit which II expected and
was entitled to derive from the treaty
Of 1916. or of resOrting to measures
the necessity of which it could con-
template only with regret.
The rights and interests of the Unit
ed States and the whole civilized world
were ut stake - Colombian opposing
those rights and interests and Panama
standing for them. ''Compelled 10
choose between these twoalternatives.
says Hay. the government of the
United States. i'm no wise responsible
for the situation that had arisen. did
not hesitate 1t recognized the indie
pondence Of the republic of Panama,
and upon its judgment and action in
the emergency the powers of the world
