It is difficult to make people believe
that coffee is an absolute poison to at
least one person out of every three,
but people are slowly finding it out,
although thousands Of them suffer ter
ribly. before they discover the fact:
A New York hotel man says: Each
time after drinking coffee I became
restless, nervous and excited, SO that
I was unable to sit five minutes in one
place, was also inclined to vomit and
suffered from loss Of sleep, which got
worse and worse. ~..--e
q A lady said that perhaps coffee was
the cause of my trouble, and suggested
that I try Postum Food Coffee. I
laughed at the thought that coffee hurt
me, but she insisted so hard that I
finally had some Postum made. I have
been using it in place of coffee ever
since, for | noticed that all my former
nervousness and irritations disappeared.
I began to sleep perfectly, and the Pos
tum tasted as good or better than the
old coffee, so what was the use of stick.

Senator McCumber secured an impor-

is probable that the families of every

It is not the desire of the senate, OF
of the house, I am reliably Informed

ALLISON AMENDMENT PASSES
Compromise Clause, with 'Fairly Re-
munerative'' Out, Is Adopted.

Washington. May 11.-Consideration
Of the railroad rate bill was resumed in
the senate this afternoon. Senator
Allison presented the first Of his com
promise amendments striking out the
words "fairly remunerative' from the
fourth section Of the bill as descriptive
of the rates which the interstate COM
merce commission may prescribe. The
amendment was adopted without de-
bate Or division.
Senator La Toilette made objection to
the second amendment limiting to two
years the continuance Of the commits
sion 8 orders. He moved to strike out
the limitation and spoke in support Of
his motion, saying he could see no ;rea-
son for the provision.
In response to this objection Senator
Knox said that the interstate commerce
commission had recommended limita-
tion to one year because of the rapid
ly changing situation in this country.
Developments indicate clearly that
Senator La Toilette is in perfect accord
with the plan Of the democrats to make
all the political capital possible out Of

The Kansas City Journal Saws

1t is long time since a play has
come to Kansas City as elevating in
it's tone and as prettily staged and
costumed as Harry Shannon's "The
Bankers Child" which was given
as matinee at the Grand yesterday,
and again last evening. The same
play will be presented all the week,
and there is no doubt but that it
will draw crowded houses. The
elegant costumes worn are seldom
equaled on the stage and height
ened the effect of a very pretty play
which has enough of the tragedy in
it to make it immensely interesting.
The drawing room scene in the
second act in which Little Hazel
Shannon as "Stella," wins the heart
of her criminal father unknown to
herself, and saves him from further
crime, cannot be too highly praised.
All who attend the show will be we'll
repaid for coming out, and will see
a very pretty and interesting pro-
duction. The specialties are also
very charming.
