ANOTHER COFFEE WRECK
What's the Use When There's an Easy
Way Out.

Along with the coffee habit has grown
the prevalent American Disease"-nery-
Gus prostTation.
The following letter shows the way
out Of the trouble:
Five years aso l was a great coffee
drinker and from its use l became so
nervous 1 could scarcely sleep at all
nights. My condition grew worse and
worse until finally the physician l con-
suited declared my troubles were all due
TO coffee.
But being so welded TO the beverage
l did not see how l could do without It,
especially at breakfast, as hat meal
seemed wholly incomplete without coffee.
ION a visit some friends deprived me
OF coffee to prove that IL was harmful
Al the end OF about eight days / was
less nervous but the craving Tor coffes
was intense, so l went back to the old
habit as soon as l got home and the old
sleepless nights came near making a

as I afterwards discovered, It was no.

age, IL was delicious.
II had a soothing effect on my nerves
and none Of the bad effects that COFFEE
had, so l bade fsreWell to coffee and hay,

WRIGHT CHANGES MS MACHINE
Reduce size Of Sprocket to Increase
Speed of Motor.

speed of Motor.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l2-Orville wright's
assistants. c. w. Taylor and C.. w. Bur-
ness. spent part Of today making a few
changes in the aeroplane which we're de-
cided upon by the aeroplanist after the
flight made yesterday for the purpose Of
determining the rate OF speed at which the
machine has been travelling. The sprocket
of the shaft now has ten teeth. The gear
ing will be reduced by substituting a
sprocket with nine teeth. This will result
in a greater number Of revolutions of the
sprocket in proportion to the propeller,
thereby increasing the power, but dimin-
ishing the speed. The latter will then be
increased by giving greater speed to the
motor.
In his flights so far Mr.. Wrigh has
used his motor at 1,2iO revolutions per
minute, but when the new sprocket is in
the place he intends to increase this to
1,450 revolutions. With this change. the
aviator expects to maintain an average
speed of at least forty-four miles per hour,
which would give him a bonus of 5000 IL
this speed were averaged in the official
speed trial. So far the motor has never
failed and during the longest flights has
neither become overheated nor shown any
indication OF skipping TO any serious ex-
tent. On one OF two flights after it had
been running for over an hour the motor
skipped one cylinder out Of the four in
every ten seconds or more. This made no
apparent difference in the speed OF the
aeroplane and Mr.. Wright considers II Of
no significance.
It has been suggested to Mr.. Wright by
several officers that he put a rim around
his propellers, thus securing a gyroscopic
effect. That would be a great disadvan-
tage," was Mr.. wright's comment. The
machine would then travel in a straight
line and that is just what we don't want"

tiOnal Act.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l2-The movement
for the enactment OF a national law TO pro-
vide against balloon ascensions by mex
perienced aeronauts has received the ap-
proval Of Allen r. Hawley, acting secre-
tary of the Aero Club of America; General
James Allen, chief signal officer OF the
army, and the aeronauts gathered at Fort
Myer. 1t is proposed to require an OPP
orator OF a dirigible balloon or the pilot
OF a spherical balloon to secure a license
from a recognized Aero club before being
permitted to make ascensions. As an al
tentative it is suggested that one Of the
government departments might be given
Jurisdiction In the matter, just as pilots
licenses are issued for the navlgators OF
the water.
That aeroplanes would be OF great value
to the life saving stations along the coast
has been suggested by the flights OF Or
Vile Wright at Fort Myer. After the
storm has subsidized 1t would be quite sim
pie for an aerUplane to reach a stranded
ship with a light line before it would be
possible for a boat TO leave the shore in

LINCOLN, Sept. 12.-CSpecialD-The re-
publican county committee met this after
noon and organized by the selection OF
Charles z. Matson as chairman and How
ard Schlegel as secretary. The chairman
was instructed TO appoint an executive
committee to assist during the campaign.
John NJ. Stewart was selected a delegate
TO the state convention and c. O. Wheedon
and +. c. severine were recommended for
members Of the state committee.
In accepting the charm nship Of the com
mittee Mr.. Matson said he would accept
the responsibility snly with the understand
ing that factional fighting cease with the
primaries and that each candidate and each
committeeman would go to work with the
perfect understanding that the principles
OF republicsnism were broader and more
important than any factional differences.
He then announced thta he intended to
sever his connection with the office of the
county attorney next Tuesday and remain
in the county headquarters until after
election, d~evoting his entire time to the
work Of the campaign.
Mr. Stewart has been looked upon here
as one OF the advocates Of county option.
but whether he will vote for that plank
in the state convention platform was not
discussed in the committee meeting and the
general presumption is that he believes
county option is purely a matter to be
dealt with by the county and therefore II
has no place in the state platform.
The meeting of the committee and can
dtdates was harmonious and enthusiastic
and most OF the committeeman were
present.
The color line will not be tightly drawn
in the fight in this county, because the
ticket is made up partially of Black, Brown
and Green, all Of whom Ned Brown said

Paris-Minister of Public Works
Barthou saw series of successful ex-
periments to prevent explosions in
mines. The tests we're conducted at

fatal Courrieres disaster by the col
liery owners of LEVIN. At theif con-
-clusion M. Barthou expressed the be-
lief that the danger from coal dust
CONGREGATIONS following explosions of
fredamp could be prevented.
The experiments demonstrated that
certain Glow temperature" or safety
explosives" do not set coal dust on
fire and that 40 per cent. of shist dust,
mixed with coal dust, renders the lat
ter free from the danger of explosion.
Deposits of schist dust at intervals in
a mine would make it possible to re
strict fires to a limited section of a
shaft or gallery.
Experiments were conducted with a
new respiratory apparatus in cham
hers filed with s,iIrhuric acid and the
ability of life savers equipped there
