600 bu of wheat from Northwestern farm
ers. compared with LOG, 100000 blu to the

On the basis of crop estimates, con-
sfirnaed by the government the total sup
ply in sight for the country for the COM
ling seven months cannot exceed $4,000, 600
bu a shortage of 1900, 900 bu. The de-
mand for wheat for shipment out of Duluth
and Minneapolis will exceed that of the
same seven months in 1904 and it.there-

The Chicago Strike.

IL was comparatively quiet in the
downtown streets of Chicago Satur-
day, despite the undated continuance
of the teamsters strike. There were
few scattered outbreaks, SOME
shooting. and some resultant injuries,
but there was a complete absence of
the marching crowds that for days fol
lowed the wagons of boycotted firms
through the streets and seized on
every opportunity 10 attack drivers
and wagon guards. Although there
have been 10 positive developments
as yet, there is a strong feeling, both
on the part of the employers and the
strikers, that the wCrst of the strike
has been passed, and that in a few
days the streets Of the city will be
cleared for traffic. Gov Deneen re-
ceived telegram Saturday asking lis
service as mediator, TO select one la
Dor representative and one representa-

NEWS OF
THE NATION
SEN. BURROWS THINKS
TAX ON BEER AND TO-
BACCO BEST THING.
THE CHICAGO STRIKE SEEMS TO
BE APPROACHING AN END.
THE MYSTERIOUS COMING AND
GOING OF ALLEGED kiDNAP-
Err PAT GROVE.
Mr.. Burrows, NisW.

Senator Burrows, in an interview
published here. advocates the adop-
ton OF maximum and minimum tariff
schedules TO meet changes in the tariff
schedules of foreign countries. Bur
rows also SAYS more revenue can he
realized by placing a duty On articles
now on the free list and reducing du-
ties on some other articles. and init
mates that a mistake was made in
reducing the internal revenue tax on
beer, which did not reduce the cost to
the consumer. Burrows said in part:
I'VE might raise additional revenue
by internal taxes, for instance on to-
bacco and beer. In reducing the tax on
beer after the Spanish war over $685.
100000 was cut off and $20,000,000
more was taken from tobacco. Beer IS
no cheaper TO the consumer because of
the reduced tax. A revision of the
tariff TO increase revenues must mean
the imposition of rates on dutiablo
goods. which would flood our market
and throw many OF our people out of
employment or lead TO a reduction in
wages. Some changes might perhaps
be made advantageously, but would it
pay TO disturb business for that pur
pose and could, for instance, the iron
and steel schedule be changed by re-
ducing rates without other schedules
having TO meet like fate?"
Does the nations foreign trade
show a need of reducing the rate?
do not think any Republican advocates
general revision Of the tariff. One
thing this country needs is a maximum
and minimum tariff for self-protec-
lion. In the nine months ended with
March, we exported $59.929, 943 in
value of goods TO France and imported
500, 933, 057 from that country We buy
from France over $20,000,00O more
than we sell to her, which is explained
on the ground that France imposed her
maximum rates on many of our pro
ducts. though other great nations get
the minimum rates without maximum
rates. We are without redress appar-
emily. We shall soon be suffering in
the same way from the maximum rate
of Germany. If we had maximum and
minimum rates we would not suffer
in that way"

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain in Some People.

A great many people go on suffer
inc from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent TO give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience as follows:
II became satisfied some months
ago that | owed the palpitation of the
heart, from which | suffered almost
daily. TO the use of coffee Q he'd been
a coffee drinker for 80 years., but
found ii very hard to give an the bev-
erage.
Il realized that | must give up the
harmful indulgence in coffee but
felt the necessity for a hot table
drink. and as tea is not to my liking,
was at loss for awhile what 10 do.
One day | ran across a very sen
sible and straightforward presenta-
ion Of the claims of Postum Food
Coffee, and was so impressed thereby
that | concluded to give it trial. My
experience with II was unsatisfactory
till | learned how ii ought TO be pre-
pared-by thorough boiling for not
less than 10 or 20 minutes. After
learned that lesson there was no
trouble. Postum Food Coffee proved
TO be most palatable and satisfac-
tory hot beverage, and | have used 1t
ever since.
The effect or my health has been
most salutary II has completely
cured the heart palpitation from which
| used to suffer so much, particularly
after breakfast, and never have a re-
turn of 1t except when dine or lunch
away from home and am compelled
to drink the old kind of coffee because
Postum is not served. find that Pos

ates while It produces no harmful
