THE FRIEND MAKER
Food-drink That Does That.

In the 9 years Postum Food Cone..
has been on the market 1t has made
many thousands of staunch friends but
apparently none better than the clerk
OF courts at Toledo, British Honduras,
who has sent a list of names Of people
in Central and South America who now
use Postum in place of coffee. explain
ing in detail their cases. He says:
Have much pleasure in writing you
this letter for the good Postum has
done myself and friends In this district.

ked from l to II were confirmed tea
drinkers and when 1 spoke TO them
about drinking Postum they laughed at
the idea Of giving up tea. But insisted
on their giving Postum a trial before
condemning it and went so far as TO
give some of them q package. They all
use Postum now and nothing else
From No. II to 10 were coffee fiends

suasion / got them to try it and now
they all use Postum.

HEPBURN BILL
HAS BEEN MODIFIED
Measure to Regulate Rates and Pre-
vent Rebates Will Be introduced
Tomorrow.

The Hepburn bill for the regulation
Of interstate commerce will be intro
duced in the House tomorrow. The bill
will provide additional facilities for the
prevention of rebates, for the fixing of
rates, and the enforcement Of the ex-
listing law.
1t is probable the bill has gons through
some changes since IL was first drafted
by Colonel Hepburn and his associates
of the Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. The protracted
hearings that have been had before the
committee. in which diverging views
from widely diverGing interests have
been submitted. could scarcely result
other than in modification
The fundamental idea Of the bill. how
ever. will be the creation of a new
court, TO which questions Of rates can
be submitted, and by which rates can
be fixed. The argument that the In
terstate Commerce Commission, with its
3nquisitorial and prosecuting powers. is
rates, has been vigorously urged by the
representatives of the railroads at the
hearings before the committee.
II has been contended. with q degree
of earnestness that has produced its
evident effect on the committee, that
champion of the shissperS and that its
activities are such that It cannot prop
erly maintain the judicial attitude
Colonel Hepburn was in favor of the
esta abliShment of q separate court IN the
FIRST instance, and the arguments ad-
yanced have servely only TO strengthen
MS original views on the subject The
plan. it is believed is TO have court
