TRANSFORMATIONS
CURIOUS RESULTS WHEN COFFEE DRINKING
is ABANDONED.

1t Is almost hard for old coffee topper tn
quit the Of coffee It is for whlskey or
tobacco iend TO break or except that the coffee
user can quit coffee and take up Postum without
any feeling OF a loss OF the morning beverage for
when Postum is well boiled and served with cream
1t is really better in point Of flavor than most OF
the coffee served nowadays. and to the taste Of
the cunnoisseur II is like the flavor OF fine. mid
Java.
4 great transformation takes place in the body
within ten days two weeks after coffee Is lefe
OF and Postum used, for the reason that tho
poison to the nerves -caffene-has been d!scon-
tinued, and in its place is taken a liquid food
that contains the most powerful elements Of nour-
ishment.
II is easy TO make this test and prove these
statements by changing from coffee To Postum.

More Favoritism in the Armv.

From the Washington Herald
The appointments which are made to the
grade of general officers as a result of the
retirement of Maj. Gen. William S. Nc
Caskey VIII be received with only partial
favor. The advancement Of Brig. Gen w
T. DuVaH, the ASSISTANT to the chief of
staff of the army. to be major general
will be appreciated in the military service
as recognition of that officers ability. He
has been on duty in Washington at various
times, and has lately been. in the absence
of Gen. Bell, acting as chief of staff. He is
the sort of officer whose promotion is cor
daily Endorsed by his associates.
Not nearly so much may be said in regard
to the appointment as brigader general OF
Lieut. Col. William w. Wotherspoon 10Th
Infantry, who is also member of the gem
eral staff. being chief of what is known as
the third division. which serves to make
him also the president of the Army War
College. For a time. since he has been on
the general staff, this officer was chief of
staff at the headquarters of the Army of
Cuban Pacifcaton, and it is stated that his
connection with the military occupation of
Cuba and his subsequent intimacy with the
President have combined to attract the IA
vorabe notice of Mr. Roosevelt This NAV
be well understood, perhaps. by those who
realize that Col. Wotherspoon is a good Of
ficer. but he is not better, surely than all
of the III colonies and 80 lieutenant COL
onels whom he jumps in becoming a briga-
der general. This is another example of
the exercise of favoritism from which the
army has suffered periodically There has
been. since last January in the appoint
ments made to the grade of brigader gem
eral. a welcome relief from the promotion
o. Mr.. Roosevelts personal friends He
has now returned to the demoralizing prin-
ciple of ignoring seniority and of elevating
to high place over the heads of worthy
senior officers one who may be regarded as
a junior and who, neither by service nor
rank, is entitled to the great favor which
is now shown him. 1t appears to be Mr.
Roosevelt's habit to do something for his
personal friends in the military establish
ment; those with whom he comes in con-
tact. 1t is a practice which places a dis
couragement upon honest effort and sug-
gests to the ambitious officers the employ
ment of person al and political pull.

I'VE are going to make pies with these
apples" was the answer, it is alleged,

who was standing at the door talking to
Lieut.. Hartley, declared that the apples
belonged to him. The prisoners deposited
SO collateral but when the cases were

Horses Should Be Properly Secured.

. Drivers of vehicles about the city are en-.
joined each time they leave their horses
standing at the curb to have the animals
secured with weight attached to the
bride by leather strap of regulation
length This point was brought out In
the Police Court today when George b.
Dennison forfeited So in preference to fac
ing Judge Kimball upon charge that he
did not secure his horse. which he left
standing at the curb on 10th street north
west yesterday. 1t is alleged that Police
man Mellin of the first precinct station
came along shortly after the horse and
vehicle were left, and discovered that the
animal had not been properly secured,
with the result that the owner had to post
the money as collateral to insure his ap-
pearance in court today.

Juries Save $S,226,

The sum of S,226 was saved to the Dis
trict by the submission of cases to a iury.
Inc saving of this amount of money. Mr..
smear explained, was due in a large
measure to the fact that the commission
was not authorized in making its appraise-
ments to take into consideration the bene-
nus lnur1ng to the property of the claim
anus Dy reason or the elimination of grade
crossings, and the jury was SO empowered
IN ADDITION TO representing the munich
patty before the grade-damage commits
SION Mr. Sinclair had charge of the mat
from Wood,ey road to Baltimore street
The act providing for this extension re-
qulred the jury to assess as benefits the
ehtife amount OF the damages awarded for
ana IN respect of the land to be condemned
Tor the extension plus the expenses of the
condemnation proceedings against adjacent
property He reviewed the case, stating 1t
has called for much discussion since IT was
begun. He said the jury awarded yerd;cts
making the damages $24151.9l and the
sum of S15.436 as benefits to the abutting
property owners: that objections have been
nled TO the verdict, and the court asked to
set aside the verdict because the Jury failed
10 assess the entire amount of the damages
as provided in the act.
Reasons Given.
Mr.. Sinclair explained that the failure of
the jury to assess the entire amount of the
damages awarded and the expenses of the
condemnation proceedings was due to an
instruction given by the court. based upon
an opinion of the Supreme Court of the
tnlted States in the recent case of Bran
denburg agt District of Columbia. He
SAID that it will be necessary as a result
of the courts ruling to procure further
legislation which will meet the objection
made TO the present act.

porat'on Counsel Smith in the conduct of
