Wants House to Go squarely on

plired the Troops, But Did
Not Punish Them.

WASHINGTON, January 26.-Reprcsen-
House to get sauarely on record in favor
OF tho President for his action In dis
missing three companies of the Twenty
NTH Infantry from the military service
OF the United States. He said to-day In
the lower branch OF Congress that by n
unanimous vote of the Tennessee Legis.
lature tho Presidents course was en-
dorsed, and he had therefore Introduced
Joint resolution, commencing the Presi-
dent in his position. He said the resolu-
ton had been referred to the Military
Affairs Committee, which he believed
would act upon the resolution. II 1t
should not he would ask that the COM
mittee be discharged. and he would bring
the whole matter before the House for
discussion.
I'm another body OF Congress-" Mr..
Sing asserted, IAN ambiguous resolution
has passed which challenged the propriety.
II not tho authority, OF the President TO
take the action he did. In the debates his
constitutional authority had been chal-
lcnged."
II tho President had exceeded his con-
stitutional authority, said Mr.. Sims, he
was subject TO impeachment. and such
proceedings must be commenced In the
House OF Representatives.
In view OF the resolution passed by the
Senate, neither admitting nor denying the
Pres!denta authority, but simply provid-
ing for an investigation OF the facts. Mr..
Sing thought 1t proper that tho House
should express itself.
1t VAS not his purpose. Mr.. Sims as
serted, to discuss the punishment of the
discharged soldiers; that question should
not be considered In connection with the
matter. The action Of the President was
was not TAKEN" asserted Mr.. Sims, "as
matter of punishment, but as a matter
OF discipline"

SOME PEOPLE KNOW
The Facts About Conec.

Perhaps you know coffee contains the
same kind OF drug as cocaine, NOR
phine, strychnine--an alkalold?
Perhaps you know tea contains the
same thing, and that neither coffee nor
tea nro foods?
Foods are necessary to do two things:
Repair tissue waste from day to day and
furnish the individual vital heat and
energy. Tea and coffee do not do the
first, and only make believe they do the
lasr.
A n. Y. lady found out the cause OF
her and her husbands trouble. She
writes:
Using tea and coffee from childhood
up it was a hard thing to give them
up but my doctor told me they were
killing me. OF late years / had trouble
With my head, my memory was poor and
my nervous system entirely upset. AT
last | was forced to keep my bed.
My husband, also, had to give up
coffee-he was a nervous wreck from
drinking it.
POSTUM was then brought into our
household ana while on my sick bed
drank it. surprising it was merely a
substitute for coffee. / drank 1t for
breakfast ana supper and slowly but
surely began to regain my health,
II soon found out 1t was Postum that
was doing the good. Now am well
and my nerves arc stronger than eve,
dared hope. Ny husband found Postum
was a great benefit to him. He Is now a
strong man.
IF people knew that the dreadful dis
eases some of them suffer from could
easily be prevented by banlshing that
poisonous thing named coffee, and use in
its stead a pure, heulthfu drink like
Postum, l am sure there would he fewer
sick and miserable creatures" Name

Plea of Defense.
Opium. the poisoning and brain-wreck
ing fumes OF which he constantly in
hailed, was the excuse offered by MAILER
for mis- tlultifarious stealing. He pleaded
guilty, through his counsel. Mr.. Harry
Glenn, to all the charges. and the argu-
ment OF the attorney was that the man
was mentally a wreck, and was not
responsible for his actions when he stole
, the goods. The woman was his subject,
his slave, and while she might have been
oosnizant of the theits, she was power
less to prevent them.
Mr.. Glenn spoke eloquently for tho
woman. He said that she was innocent;
that she was the dupe perhaps OF the
man, and that her punishment had al
ready been sufficient.
Replying to the argument of the at
torney for the defense, Mr.. Minetree
Folkes, CONFERENCE.-The Attorney. paren-
thetically referred to the Burton case
where the women had been dismissed and
the man had been punished.
1.-THE punishment OF this woman he
declared, SHOULD be commensurate with
her crime. The merchants OF Richmond
have been imposed upon by this clever
pair Of swindlers and shoplifters, and
however much we Of tho South revere
womanhood and regret to see any woman
In trouble, We must not deviate from the
law, which is made for both man ana
woman alike This woman is a frail
creature. and do not want to see her
punished too severely but I do say that
it is the duty OF this court to convict her
of two offenses. 1t has been clearly
proven that she stole from two places,
and she should suffer for her crimes"
Appearance of Mailer.

was speaking sat the man and woman.
The latter was weeping, and all eyes
were turned in her direction. Mailer.
sitting close by her side, kept his head
in his hands and wore a troubled look. Z
He never once looked away from the
face of the judge, but he WINGED when
Mr.. Folkes spoke of him as being an ac-

should not be allowed his freedom.
OF the nineteen charges against the
man and woman only one was lost by
tile Commonwealth. This was the charge
of stealing "a pair Of shoes from the Dab
ney-J ohnson Company. 1t was not clearly
proven that the shoes had been stolen,
and for this reason tho doubt was given
to the prisoners. Nineteen charges were
