Of Arizona
Statehood for Arizona is assured
within the very near future.
1t matters not whether Ralph Cam
eron is elected or Mark Smith is elect
ed Both great political parties have
declared for immediate statehood for
Arizona. The argument used to elect
Ralph Cameron to congress and gel
statehood is a cry which has been
raised in Arizona oy the campaign
managers without any authority from
the national republican party. The
question of statehood for Arizona al
the next session was threshed out al
the national republican convention al
Chicago. 1t was argued pro and con
and the final decision was reached tC
give Arizona its rights without AMI
further delay. Ralph Cameron's elec

and tho republican managers in Ari

TRIO STILL
ON GUARD DUTY.

Lisbon, Feb. 5.-The publication
OF list of all OF former Premier
Frances political prisoners still con-
fined in prison caused the greatest
rejoicing throughout the whole
country today. Hundreds have been
arrested within the past few months
without knowing why and have been
imprisoned without their friends
knowing where. They are being re-
leased two or three at a time to
avoid a popular demonstration. II
was resolved at a meeting OF the
new cabinet today TO continue the
governmental reforms instituted by
the fallen premier. but TO conduct
them by constitutional means.
Troops are still guarding all public
buildings, palaces and the new min
listers houses. but conditions other
wise are normal.

in the letter made public in Presi-

nothing to do with interstate COM

burn bill-in fact, since the passage
of the Elkins' bill-this company

the provisions of the law. My or
ders to all officers have been that
the law should be strictly observed

they have been technical and unin-

The cork oak, from the bark of

OLD SURGEON
Found Coffee Caused Hands to
Tremble.

The surgeons duties require clear
Judgment and a steady hand. Aslip
or an unnecessary incision may do ir
reparable damage to the patient.
When he found that coffee drinking
caused his hands to tremble, an Ills.
surgeon conscientiously gave it up and
this is his story.
"For years l was coffee drinker
until my nervous system was nearly
broken down, my hands trembled so
could hardly write, and insomnia tor
tured me at night.
Besides, how could I safely per-
form operations with unsteady hands,
using knives and instruments OF pre-
cision? When 1 saw plainly the bad
effects of coffee, / decided to stop 1t,
and three years ago l prepared some
Postum, of which l had received a
sample.
The first cupful surprised me. 1t
was mild, soothing, delicious. At this
time gave some Postum 10 a friend
who was in a similar condition to
mine, from the use of coffee.
"A few days after, I met him and
he was full of praise for Postum, de-
claring he would never return to cot
fee but stick to Postum. We then Or
dered full supply and within short
time my nervousness and consequent
trembling, as well as insomnia, disap'
peared, blood circulation became nor
NAL, no dizziness nor heat flashes.
my friend became Postum en-
thusiast, his whole family using 1t ex
clusively.
TT would be the fault of the one
who breweI the Postum, II it did moi
taste good when served.
THE best food may be spoiled II
not properly made. Postum should DC
boiled according to directions on the
pkg. Then it is all right, anyone car
rely On it. 1t ought to become the
national drink" There's a Reason

IDEA FOR TABLE DECORATION.
Floral Harmony Adds Greatly to the
General Effect.

When one is using special flower
for the decoration of the table at for
NAL luncheon or dinner it Is artistic to
have the same flowers used as a gar
nish for as many Of the dishes as pos
sible.
Thus, if one has daisies and ferns in
the center Of the table, have the lamp
shades of green paper, cut in narrow
frond-like pieces to represent ferns.
Serve the oysters in their shells
with wreath of ferns around the out
side and a lemon nesting in a bed of
daisies in the center.
Irvine the stems of sherbet glasses
in maidenhair, If it can be done just
before sending to the table, otherwise
1t will be too wilted.
II you have grape fruit served in
glasses have them standing in q
wreath of daisies, with ferns on the
stems. Or, If the half fruit is served,
let the edge of the plate be wreathed
with a mixed wreath of ferns and
daisies.
The ices should be nodded in the
form Of daisies, if you care to go to
the expense, and should have a touch
of pistache in them to represent the
green. Int.
If you do not use nodded ices, then
they will look we'll served in boxes in
the form Of paper daisies or covered
with real ferns.
The place cards can be painted
bunch of the flowers, cut out so they
can be slipped on the top of the COB
let.
The candy and small cakes should
/ be green and white, and If the dinner
is elaborate enough to give souvenirs
you might have the floral centerpieces
arranged in separate punches OF
daisies and ferns that can be given tt
each guest in the drawing room be
fore she leaves.
