GUESTS OF THE PRESIDENT
Maj.-Gcn. Leonard Wood and Mrs.
Wood the Guests of the ROose-
velts at Sycamore Hill.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 24.-Gen. and
Mrs. Leonard Wood, who arrived here
from Washington, are guests of Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt.
The president had not seen Gen.
Wood since his arrival in this country
from the Philippines, where he is the
commander of the American forces in
the Moro archipelago. His return was
induced by the necessity of undergoing
surgical operation. An operation was
performed in Boston, and Gen. Wood
practically has recovered from its eff
fects. He expects to return to the Phil
ippines as soon as he shall have COM
pletely regained his normal condition.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacar
in the way coffee sometimes wreaks its
fendish malice on those who use it.
A lady writing from Calf. says
"My husband and ], both lovers Of
coffee, suffered for some time from
very annoying form of nervousness, ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some SORT of af-
lection of the nerves leading from the
spine TO the head.
81 was unable 10 hold my head up
straight, the tension of the nerves drew
it to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine, and were puzzled as to what
caused the trouble, till friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee we
drank had something to~>do with it,
and advised that we quit it and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice, and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and in
very short time both of us were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
,teady once more. the headache ceased,
The muscles in the back of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up, and
the dreadful pain that had so punished
me while / used the old kind of coffee
vanished.
1--WE have never resumed the use of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as well as we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to find
that we can give it freely to our chill
dren, also, something we never dared
to do with the old kind of coffee"
Name given By Postum Co.. Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug poi
son.
There's reason.

UNIVERSAL PEACE UNION
Suggests That Nothing is to De
Gained by n Continuance of the
War in the Far East.


Mystic, Conn, Aug 25.-The text of
the document sent by the Universal
Peace Union, in session here to the
Russian and japanese plenipotentiaries,
has been made public. 1t follows:
I'VE are convinced: AS regards Rus
STA and Japan, that the sending Of
eminent and conscientious ENJOYS
thousands of miles from monarchial
surroundings to our republic at great
expense to formulate some plan to close
the appalling war in the far east must
not fail. inasmuch as nothing is to be
gained by continuance of the war. and
as both belligerents desire peace
"lf indemnity be in the way, call it
recompense for caring for 100000 pris-
oners and adjust the amount. Peace
will soon reimburse; war never will.
IF Sakhalin be in the way, give it
as a peace Offering to the inhabitants
thereof and ask representation therein,
and the trade there will be worth more
than any conflict.
"If limitation of naval power be in
the way, refer to the ears rescript
and his recommendations, and then
mutually agree upon limitations.
"If interned vessels be in the way
agree to release them if they will be
turned into merchantmen and so pa
rolled that they never will be used fol
war purposes.
IF this will not accomplish the de.
sired result, submit the points at vari
arce to The Hague tribunal, the crea
ton itself of Russia, and the result vii
be her victory of peace with honor an(
dignity"

AN IMPORTANT PROJECT.
A Canal to Connect Lake Superior
With Lake Michigan to be Dug
by Syndicate.

Detroit, Mich, Aug. 23.-The Detroit
Journal says:
Nelson Thomasson, a well-known yes
sci man of Chicago, is authority for the
statement that syndicate is to be
formed to dig canal from Au Train,
on Lake Superior, to Gladstone or Es-
canada, on Lake Michigan. By using
the Whitefish river, it is declared only
16 miles of the total distance of 40
miles between Lake Superior and
Michigan would have to be dredged.
Such canal would shorten the route
between Duluth and Chicago by 265
miles, and would save upwards of 200
miles on the route between Duluth and
Buffalo. Moreover, the dangerous St.
Mary's river would be avoided.

The cynical Labouchere, writing in
London Truth, asserts that "the Amer
leans, in spite of their reputed shrewd-
ness, are the most easily gulled Of any
people on earth by those who know
how to get at them" Is this merely a
railing accusation without foundation
or has it a modicum of truth? asks the
Baltimore Sun. Verify, there have
been times when it seemed that GER
tain elements in our population were
easily shared. Get-rich-Quick schemes
promising 100 per cent. profit every
year have found no lack of patrons.
But this is only vulgar finance. 1t is
in the realm of high finance and pro-
noting that the lambs are shorn with
neatness and dispatch. Still, Ameri-
cans are not more guliible than their
cousins across the Atlantic. Hundreds
of frauds and impostors ply their trade
in England and gather in rich spoils.

The man who defined public opinion

The man who defined public opinion
as "the stupidity of one multiplied by
the stupidity of many preferred cpl
gram to truth, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal. 1t is sometimes
formed hastily, it is true, and it is
sometimes the outgrowth of an i'm
pulsive Jumping at conclusions" But
public opinion is fundamentally hon
est, and when it jumps at conclusions
it is usually found condemning some
thing which, at the time, has the ap-
pearance of evil. The man who is
scrupulous in his business dealings
and who evinces fine sense of moral
ity in the conduct of public office need
never fear public opinion This has
the power to help along public moral
sly by demanding a closer adherence
to high ideals than the law can posi-
bly, prescribe.
