WOULD DISCIPLINE
 INSURANCE COMPANIES

Albany, N. Y., March Ex-Governor Hughes tonight sent to the Legislature the first special message of the pres ent session. in which he recommends amendments to the so-called Armstrong insurance law. so as to give to the State Superintendent of Insurance power to take possession of the prop erty and affairs of insurance companies when necessary to conserve the inter ests of policyholders.
 Fills carrying the Governors recom- mendations were introduced tonight by Senator Grattan and Assemblyman Hamm.
 Governor Hughes. in his message. says:
 "The serious delays and enormous waste connected with receiverships. both of banking and of insurance cor porations has directed attention to the advisability of providing suitable means for enocomical and speedy H. quidation through the agency of the respective State departments. Last year the banking laws was amended so as to provide for liquidation of banking corporations by business. like method. and the wisdom of the provision has already been demon. strated by experience.
 Similar exigencies arise in connec- tion with insurance corporations and should be dealt with In a similar way"

THE VIEWS OF ROOSEVELT
 ', ON HAYTIEN REPUBLIC

New York, Mch. S-what purports to be the views of Theodore Roosevelt. of the attitude of the United states concerning Hayti, ss. expressed during his incumbency on December { last' is contained today in a special ca ble despatch to the Herald from Kingstowp, Jamaica. quoting a letter which MT. Roosevelt wrote to Sir Har- ry H. Johnson. the British traveller and scientist and student of the ne- gro question.
 In the letter Colonel Roosevelt. the then president is quoted in part as follows, with reference to the recent trouble in the black republic:
 "I do not. think we shall intervene in Hayti. Of course we ought to, but this people of ours simply do not un. derstand how things are outside our own boundaries.
 "of course do not desire to act un- less I can get the bulk of our people to understand the situation and 10 back up the action; and to do that have to get the facts wildly before them and clearly before them. "In Panama, Cuba, Santo Domingo and Puerto Rico, 1t needed months or years of preparation before we could get our people to see things straight and tho worst of 1t is that the educa- ted northeasterners are not merely blinded. but often inadvertently blind to what goes on.
 We ought to have interfered i'll Venezuela again and again during the last seven years. We ought t. have interfered in Central America and Hayti. In all three places w. ought now to do something of tn" same kind that we are doing in Gu ba, santo Domingo or Panama. accord ing to the exigencies of the case. "But the Americans simply were not alive to the situation"

 Moore caused the inspectors embar- rassment and the spectators much amusement by his refusal to answer questions.

 Inspector-Moore. were you at Dal- ton. Ga. the night of January 3. 1s0ST"
 Moore-You just ought to see that Florida strawberry crop. Finest you ever saw.
 Inspector-Look here. Moore. ws want to know if it's true that you have been in Birmingham for the past six weeks.
 Moore-Those strawberries down there are simply great. man could make a fortune with a mighty little"
 Inspector-Oh. cut that out. How long have you been here?
 Moore-As I was saying. those ber- ries down there are immense. You ought to go down and try them.
 So 1t went for two hours, the inspec- tors making little or no progress. They declared later, however. that patching up his description and fhe few crumbs of information they were able to gath CT that they are reasonably certain that Moore is the man wanted They ad- init he Is one of the smoothest men they ever tackled.

HABITS CHAIN
Certain Habits UncOnsciously Formed
 and Hard to Break

An ingenious philosopher estima tes that the amount of will power neces- sary to break a lifelong habit would if 1t could be transformed lift a weight of many tons
 IL sometimes requires a higher de- gree of heroism to break the chains of d pernicious habit than to lead a for lorn hope in a bloody battle. A lady writes from an Indiana town:
 From my earliest childhood I was a lover of coffee. Before l was out of my teens I was a miserable dyspeptIe. suffering terribly at times with my stomach.
 "I was convinced that 1t was coffee that was causing the trouble and yet I could not deny myself a cup for breakfast At the age of 36 I was In very poor health, indeed. My sister told me I was in danger of becoming a coffee drunkard.
 But I never could give up drinking coffee for breakfast although 1t kept me constantly H. until 1 tried POstum. l learned to make 1t properly according g 10 directions. and now We can hardly do without Postum for breakfast, and care nothing al all for coffee,
 T am no longer troubled with dys- pepsia, do not have spells of suffering with my stomach that used to trouble me so when I drank coffee" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek.
