LIGHT BREAKS IN. Thoughtful Farmer Learns About

! Many people exist in a more or less hay condition and it often takes years before they realize that coffee is the ! is a simple way to let the light break 1 in. A worthy farmer had such an xepe- rience and tells about it. in a letter. He says:
 For about forty years, I have had indigestion and stomach trouble in va rious forms. During the last 25 years of bilious VIC .Pb-hMokaqtonicTH would not more than get over one spell of bilious collie until another would be on me.
 "The best doctors could get and all the medicines I could buy. only gave me temporary relief.
 Change of climate was tried with out results. I could not sleep nights. had rheumatism and my heart would palpitate at times so that it seemed it would jump out of my body.
 T came to the conclusion that there was no relief for me and that I was about wound up, when I saw a Postum advertisement. l had always been a coffee drinker. and got an idea from the ad. that maybe coffee was the cause of my trouble.
 T began to drink Postum instead of coffee and in less than three weeks 1 felt like a new mas. The rheuma- tism left me and I have never had a spell cf bilious collie since.
 My appetite is good, my digestion never was better and l can do more work than before for 40 years. T haven't tasted coffee since I be- gan with Postum. My wife makes it according to directions and I relish it as well as ever did coffee. and was certainly a slave to coffee There's d Reason"

March 9.-Testimony was adduced today before the senate committee on naval affairs which Is Investigating the criticism of battle ship construction. showing that the To- cation of the armor belt on American battleships is too low. On the other hand q letter from Secretary Metcalf was read, declaring it to be the opin- ion of the board of construction. and Rear Admirals Evans and Brownson that the armor belt lines of the battle ships Deleware and North Dakota were right The secretary in his com munication took occasion to declare that the American battleships are su- peTiOr to- those of any other navy.
 The witnesses today were Lieuten- ant Commander Waite, associate in spector Of target practice, and Rear AdmiIals George C. Remey, and C. E. Goodrich. Interest was attached to Admiral Goodrich's testimony because after the pIbiica- lion of the Reuterdahl article he said in an interview that he had called attention years before to such defects as were alleged by Reu- terdahl. He asserted that he believed the American ships were good but that they would be made better. He was asked by Chairman Hale If he would subscribe to Reuterdahrs state ment that-if our ships went iEto action |, they would be no batter off than the Russian ships when they went into battle with the Jauanese.

THE DIRECTOR
 UNRELIABLE A Charge Against Census
 Figures
The Accusation Has to Do With rOducts of the Pa per Trust.

New York. March 9.-Charges of of iical dereliction were made against s. N D. North, directory of the census. in a letter sent totPresident Roosevelt by Herman Raider. president of the American Newspaper Publishers As sociation.
 Ridder charges in a letter written to Representative Dalzell that on the subject of news print paper prices for period of fifteen years Director North gave a series of false and mis- leading figures" He charges that the director failed to exercise diligence in seeking for information and that .he used worthless and secondary sources of information.
 That letter has been used on the floor of congress as an official publi- cation" says Ridder in his communi- cation to the president, ana it was de- clared by Chairman Payne Of the ways and means committee to be "as 'accu- rate as it can be-" He points out that in Director North's letter there was a lapse of three years for the per iod from January 1, 1897. to January 11,1900, when paper dropped to SS2> a ton or SIS less than the present asking price.
 Rioder says that in those three years thirty mills were merged Into the In ternational Paper company. The let ter says that the lowest price appear ing any where in the extraordinary compilation by the director of census is S6 per ton in excess of the lowest p'ice which paper has been sold in New York and that mo books Of any Urge paper manufacturer will show such prices as are credited by Director North"

 He was about to leave the stand when Senator Tilhnan called his s.ten- ton to the fact that Commander Simms a few days ago gave the name of Goodrich as enc of the men who would corroborate his declaration that the department would not accept of ficers criticisms. The admiral looked annoyed.
 I'll ave you made reports tu the de- partment crticising any matter of construction?" asked Mir. Tillman.

 Pressed for a more definite reply the witness said that he thought the ar nor belt was too low. It was sug- gested by MT. Hale that chances have to be taken as to conditions at the time a ship went into action.
 The whole naval life. senator, is a chance" the witnessed remarked. Tillman returned to the charge that officers had been discouraged from making suggestions or criticisms. and demanded Goodrich's experiences.
 'I made several suggestions which

 ' The decision practically nullifies Ruefs plea of guilty to the same charge. and invalidates the remaining four extortion indictments against the two. It will enable Schmitz to gain his liberty on bail after eight months of confinement in the county jail.
 Counsel for SchmitZ announced to- night that immediate steps would be taken tomorrow for the former may or's release.

 T want something tangible" replied MT. Tillman.
 Goodrich said that in 1902 he rec commended the abolition of the mili- tary masts with fighting tops. As ships are now being designed. the ad- miral said. they do not have these fighting tops.
 Then this recommendation did not fall on barren ground" said Mir. Tillman.
 'l cannot flatter myself that my let ter had anything to do with the deci- sion to do away with this feature. g said the admiral.

One Of the most interesting state
ments made recently concerning the
much discussed Cooper theory, that
has spread over the country during the
past year, is made by E. H. Lambert,
a retired business man, whose home Is
at 115 Francis Street, Everett, Mass.
Mr.. Lambert has this to say in con-
nection with Cooper and his medi-
cines: "Some time ago read an ar
ticle about this man Cooper, in which
he claimed that stomach trouble was
directly responsible for most Ill health.
He went on to say that, although his
medicine did nothing but get the stom-
ach in sound condition, 1t wonld, in
many cases, remove kidney and liver
trouble and various other ailments.
He argued from this that the stomach
was the main cause of sickness, and
stated that the success he has had
with his medicines was due entirely
TO this fact.
II am now fully convinced that this
theory Is correct, and believe Cooper
has a really remarkable medicine,
judging from my own experience.
II have been a sick man for FIVE

PLAN TO FIGHT DISEASE.
Druggists VIII Battle Stomach Trou'
BILE In Pendleton.

The increase of stomach troubles in
Pendleton has led Tallman & Co. to
take effective measures to combat the
disease. They have the local agency
for Mi-o-na stomach tablets, and in
order to induce people suffering with
weak stomach or indigestion to use
the remedy, offer to supply 1t with the
distinct understanding that money
will be refunded in every case where
It does not cure.
Mi-o-na is not mere digestive, but
an absolute strengthener and builder
up Of the whole digestive tract. II
you suffer with headaches, giddiness,
palpitation, bad taste in the mouth,
nervousness coated tongue. distress
after eating, use Mi-o-na and see how
quickly these symptoms of a weak
stomach will disappear.
The remedy strengthens the mus
cular walls Of the stomach and in
creases the flow Of gastric juices so
that nourishment is extracted from
the food and the refuse is expelled
without the aid of purgative or lax
atlve medicines.
Remember that Tallman & Co. give
guarantee to refund the money un-
less it cures. They take all the risk.
and there is no danger Of your losing
anything except indigestion when you
buy a 50-cent box of Mi-o-na.

YAKIMA MAN LOSES STOMACH.
Delicate Surgical Operation Perform
ed in North Yakima.

One of the most critical and proba-
bly, the most difficult surgical opera
tions ever performed in this part Of
the state was that by which Jacob
Seiber's stomach was partially re-
moved at the Sanitarium yesterday
the surgeon finding it necessary to
cut away more than half Of that or
gan in the removal Of cancer, says
the Yakima Republic.
The operation is apparently sue
cessful in every detail, the patient
having been in good condition.
Mr. Seiber who is So years old, a
man Of family, residing on the School
section, has been complaining for
some time of a peculiar stomach trou-
BILE. A thorough diagnosis Of his case
by his physician revealed the cause
and the operation was recommended,
for to leave the cancer In the stom-
ach meant untold misery during only
a brief life at best while to remove
the affected organ might mean pro-
longed life of comparative freedom
from suffering. The patient told the
surgeon to cut 1t out.
The operation was performed yes
terday forenoon about 10 o'clock.
About two-thirds of the stomach was
removed successfully. The patient
rallied in due time and is reported to-
day as in excellent condition, consld-
ering the nature of the ordeal through
which he has just passed
