A year ago l was a wreck from coffee drinking and was on the point of giving up my position in the school room because of nervousness.
 T was telling friend about 1t and she said, We drink nothing at meal time but Postum, and it is such a comfort to have something we can enjoy drinking with the children.
 T was astonished that she would allow the children to drink any kind of coffee, but she said Postum was the most heaithful drink in the world Tor children as well as for older ones. and that the condition of both the children and adults showed that to be q fact.
 My first trial was failure. The cook boiled 1t four or five minutes and 1t tasted so fiat that l was in despair but determined to give it one more trial. This time We followed the direc. tons and boiled it fifteen minutes aft CT the boiling began.

WASHINGTON August 17.-Since
the death of Representative Cushman
of Washington there has been much
haggling among Senators and MEM
bers as to who now becomes the
"homeliest man in Congress-" While
Cushman lived there was none to
question his title. But now that he is
gone, there is a diversity of opinion,
just as there is a diversity of homeli-
ness. A great many people are inclin-
ed to accord the title to Senator j. L..
Bristow of Kansas That Bristow is
homely, there is no denying. He don't
deny it himself. And what is more,
his LONELINESS is decidedly of the
Cushman type. Perhaps this fact ac-
counts for a general inclination to ac-
cord him the title long held by Cush-
man. Bristow has a close competitor
in the person of Senator Johnson of
North Dakota. Johnson, like Bris-
tow, is new senator, and we're it not
for Bristow would readily be voted
the homeliest man in the Senate.
The House, however, has a few men
who are candidates for the distinction
of being the "homeliest man in Con-
gress." Hamilton Fish Of New Yorl;
stands well to the front; Representa-
tive Macon, the diminutive member
from Arkansas, whose. resemblance to
DR.. M. Walker is very striking, is al
SO a likely candidate, while Steiner
son of Minnesota, Bull Andrews OF
New Mexico and Bartlett of Georgia
are all strong when it comes to home

out the homeliest man in this assert.

ALCOHOL AND TUBERCULOSIS.

1t is already we'll known that alco-
holism creates a state of receptlYlty
particularly favorable to tho develop
ment of tuberculosis, says a writer IN
the Revue Scientifique paris, June
12). Mr.. Jacques Bertillon has pre-
sented their relations somewhat strik-
ingly in a set of maps embodying the
latest French statistics. Says the
writer cited above:
ION the map of France il may be
seen that the northern departments
drink, per inhabitant, more brandy
than the central and southern depart
'ments. The line of separation is rep
resented exactly by the limit of cul-
ture of the vine. In the wine-drinking
countries, the consumption CT brandy
is comparatively small; it is consider
able in the cider and beer regions. The
dwellers in the east of France drink
some brandy and much absinthe. The
second map presented by Mr.. Bertillon
shows that the frequency OF tubercu-
losis is much greater, with some ex-
ceptions, in the regions where most
alcohol is consumed. The phthisis
map may be superposed on the alco-
holism map. On the other hand, phth-
isis is more frequent among saloon
keepers than with other merchants
(579 deaths annually, in 100000 per-
sons, as compared with 245). 1t is
probably alcohol also that makes
phthisis twice as frequent in Paris,
among men than among women

TARIFF PATRONYMIC
.PUFFED WITH PRIDE
Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16-The Hon
orable Serene e. Payne, chairman of
the House Committee on Ways and
Means, is much pulled with pride these
days. He gloats great gloats over the
fact that tariff bill has been writ
ten upon the statute books that car
ries his name with it and places him
on the shelf in history occupied by Nc
Kinley, Wilson-Gorman, and Dingley.
Mr.. Payne takes great pride in talking
about the Payne bill" Never once
does he refer to it, as do all others, as
the Payne-Aldrich bill. Not for min
ute To his mind, it is purely and
simply the Payne bill, with no hyp-
henated Aldrich to it. All of which
leads up to he fact that the Hon. Sere-
no e. Payne entertains the belief that
he has earned promotion, and he is
willing to take it in eithe: of two
forms. He would prefer to succeed
Joseph Q. Cannon as Speaker of the
House of Representatives, but failing
in that, he would condescend to sue
coed Chauncey M. Depew in the United
States Senate. Nothing short of a
miracle would ever place Payne in
the Speakers chair, for he is heartily
disliked by members Of the House, re-
CARELESS of party, and men are seldom
elected Speaker who have nc friends.
He might land the senatorship, but
it is too far off to tell what the New
York legislature is likely to do when
it shelves Depew a year from next
winter Better men than Payne will
be candidates, but legislatures do not
always pick the best man for United
States Senator. Nevertheless and not
withstanding, Mr.! Payne thinks there
is reward in store for him, but he may
be disappointed,
According to reports that get back
to Washington, many of the Senators
who "insurged" against Aldrich, and
not few of the congressman who Elm
surged' against Cannon streng-
thened themselves with their consti-
tuents, even if they weakened them
selves with the powers that be in Con-
gress The great ovations rendered
Senator Beveridge in Indiana, and
Senator Cummins in Iowa are evil
dence that the people of those two
states are proud of their senators, and
thoroughly satisfied with their repub-
licanism. And yet Senator Aldrich, in
the late days of the session, in effect
declared that Beveridge and Cummins
and those who acted with them were
not republicans according to present
day standards.
The House members who rebelled
against Cannon did so, in most in
stances, because Cannonism is a live
issue in their districts. The fact that
the Speaker undertook to punish the
insurgents by deprivlng the older ones
of good committee places, and assign
ing all to positions of no Importance
seems to have placed those insurgents
in the attitude of martyrs-at least in
the eyes of their home people-some-
thing that Cannon probablySdid not
figure on when he dealt out bad medi-
cine. Instead of humiliating them be-
fore their constituents, the Speaker
has probably strengthened these mem
bers, and made it easier than ever for
them to return to Congress. Thus,
they will continue to plague the
Speaker, and continue their fight
against his dictation in the next Con-
gress, provided Mr. Cannon is again

This literature goes to railway read
