Only an actual test will open their
eyes to what they throw away when
they cast aside the richness ana power
of health for a cup of coffee now and

This in brief has been my ex-

Among my friends l have seen many
other wonderful instances of the power

relief from kidney trouble, neuralgia

using Postum and I have even known
it to ease rheumatic pains in limbs.
II readily believe these statements

ST. PETERSBURG HOPEFUL.
Conservative Opinion Holds That Pros
pect of Peace Is Better.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 15.-The Japan
csc minister, M. Kurimo. today, de-
ivcred the Japanese reply to the
foreign office here. The reply is now
under consideration.
The Russian foreign Office says the
present stage of the negotiations is an
advance on previous stages in GER
tain aspects. The two governments
had approached an understanding on
some points but not on others.
Hopefulness reigned, today, in many
quarters where pessimism had hitherto
prevailed. Conservative opinion hold
that while the prospect OF peace is bet
ter than ever the end cannot be pre-
dicted with certainty, particularly the
matter in which settlement can be
secured.
The diplomats here regard favorably
The suggestion to transfer the Russo
Japanese negotiations to st. Peters,
burg. They do not think it is intended
to delay matters as interpreted abroad,
but. believe it would remove the nego-
tiations from the hands of the war
party represented by Admiral Alexieff,
the Russian viceroy in the Far East,
and enable the Car and Foreign Min
lister Lamsdorff to more closely control
them.

STRUCK BY TRAIN.
Thirty-four People Injured at
Detroit, Mich.
Grand Trunk Train Crashes Into
Heavily Loaded Electric Car.
Some of Injured in Serious Condition
and May Die.

Detroit, Mich. Jan. 15.-An east
bound Michigan Line car carrying a
heavy load of passengers hurrying
home at the close of the day was
struck by Il Grand Trunk passenger
train. this evening. at Gratiot avenue
and De Quindre street. More than "a
people We're injured, the heavy double
truck car being carried so feet down
the track from the point of collision
and being almost demolished.
The train just arrived in the city
from Port Huron was slowing down to
stop at the Gratiot avenue station. The
engine OF the train struck the trolley
car i'll the middle. 1t pushed the car
along the track, bending the car frame
into Il crescent shape and tearing big
hole in the side that was struck. Those
of tho panic stricken passengers who
were not seriously hurt. issued from
the end doors of the car or from the
broken windows as they saw their OPP
portunity.
Every ambulance in the city was
hurried to the scene. Seven of tile in
jured were conveyed to the hospitals
and 81 were taken to their homes.

NOT VERY EAGER.
Russia Continues Keeping Up
a Splendid Bluff
But Is Expected to Grant Most Of
Japan's Demands.
Japan's Outside Support Responsible
for This Conclusion.

Berlin, Jan. 15.-That Russia has
applied to Turkey for permission to
send her Black Sea fleet through the
Dardanelles, is confirmed authorita-
lively here, and it is also asserted that
Russia will renew the application and
press for Turkish consent.
Germany's attitude is one of uncon-
Germ. The British government is be-
lieved here to have identified itself
more fully week by week with the Jap
anese position, until now Great Britain
is almost as deeply committed as
Japan. The position in which Great
Britain now stands has impressed and
is impressing the Russian statesmen.
The readiness with which the United
States associated herself with Japan
in pressing for the signature of the
commercial treaties with China is an
other fact contributory to the feeling
in st. Petersburg that this is not the
moment to fight. The decision for war
or peace now rests with the Car 5
advisors and symptoms are visible he:e
that the decision will be peace, by
largely admitting Japan's demands.
The views of the British editors, par
jtially derived from the foreign office
in London, are looked upon here not
only as Significant but as also being
part OF Il great diplomatic game against
Russia, and in that sense are somewhat
discounted. The skill Japan has shown
throughout the negotiations eXcites ad-
miration at the German foreign office.

moved to ST. Vincent's hospital in To-

ooh! knew it," she cried, and sank
sobbfng on sofa. This sudden out
burst awoke little two-year- old baby
boy, and he started to cry. Mrs. Spre-
vim carried the baby into the home Of
his grandparents, who live in the front
part of the cottage, and took the next
train to Toledo. Sprevin had passed
away a few minutes before his wife ar
rived.

Caesar-have been dug up here from
ground where Roman legions, Ger
