Without sleep the nervous
system soon becomes a wreck,
and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
bodybuilding sleep accompanies
the use of DR.. Miles Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken few days

restless sufferer will find sleep
natural and healthful. Get a

it all according to directions, and

mittee yesterday report spread
that the committee would recon-
mend to the house thatSthat portion
of the annual message referring to
the secret service be expunged from
the record. Another report was that
the recent message In reply to the
request OF the house for more in
formation on the subject would be
returned to the chief executive,
neither report could beconfirmed,
as the members OF the committee
refused 10 discuss the probable ac-
tion.
A report probably will be agreed
upon by the committee at meet
ing today. 1t IL believed that the
house will be called upon to take ac-
ton Thursday or by the end OF the
week at the latest.
One OF the most interesting de-
bates of tho session Is expected
when the report OF the committee Is
brought into the house. Friends OF
the president will resist any drastic
action that may be recommended.
On the other hand Representatives
Tawney, Smith, Sherley and Fitz-
gerald are preparing to defend
themselves against the references to
them in the message. Their remarks,
however, Will not be a personal de-
fense as they maintain that they
should not be parties to any attempt
to divert attention from the contro-
versy, hich is between congress
and the president and not between
themselves and the president.
1t was for these reasons that none
OF the representatives referred to
would talk regarding the matter for
publication.

itics. He was the first prominent
public man to declare for Roose-
yelt's nomination, when, having
come into the presidency only by yir-
tue of McKinley's death, republican
opinion was halting upon its decis-
ion whether he was worthy of
nomination of his own account, That
was In 1903, when Mark Hanna.
with his hand upon the machinery
of the party was believed by many
to aspire for presidential honors. 1t
was Foraker who won an endorse
ment for Roosevelt from the Ohio
republican convention, early in
1904, when Hanna desired that no
such endorsement be given. Foraker
stood high at the White House then.
He had got less than his share of pa
tronage from Mckinley and he was
eager, therefore, to collect his dues
from Roosevelt. Their first trouble
occurred over patronage, that fruit
full source of disaster to so many
public men. Roosevelt had purposes
of his own to accomplish, and was
not 50 prompt in recognizing his OBJ
legation as Foraker thought he
should be, 1t Is said, and their inti-
macy gradually resolved into ordln-
airy friendship, and later developed
into positive and unforgiving en-
nifty There are those who believe
that, had 1t been possible to weld
two sbch temperaments together,
Foraker, rather than Taft, might
have been heir to the Roosevelt sue
cession In the White House. And had
Ii not been for the publication OF the
stolen Standard OIL correspondence
by VIM. r. Hearst, during the cam
paign, It IS prabable that Foraker
might have won reelection to the
senate at this time. Close relations
seemed to have been established
with Judge Taft, and Foraker was
lust about TO take the stump for the
national ticket, when the appearance
OF the Archibold letters caused his
withdrawal from the list of cam
paign speakers.

Harry LADDERS Bluff.

A pretty piece of bluff is attri'
buted to Harry Lauder, the variety
entertainer. During his first play in
New York he was accused of stingi-
ness. He heard that one journalist had
severely commented on the manner in
which he drew the purse strings. Not
long afterward this man asked him
for an interview. Lauder gave him an
address and told him to come at 10
o'clock the following night. In the
meantime the comedian rented a
wretched room in the slum quarter
of the city. When the call came he
was ushered into this garnet. There
sat Lauder, blue with cold, by the
light of a single candle. Are we goin
to put down what l say?" Lauder
asked. The reporter assured him with
pride that he never made notes dur
ing an interview. my memory is ex
cellent," he boosted. "Weel. then,
said Lauder, we'll aye save the
light" And he blew out the candle.

| was taken up by nearly all the dele
gates present.
DR.. Veranus A. Moore, dean of the

| the bride to the horse" he said. But
| if could have every dog in the United
States muzzled for ninety days |
would guarantee that the country
would be free from rabies for a cen
fury"
Dr.. De Vine in his address said that
| rabies existed in seventeen counties
| of the state, and that guarantees
were maintained in six villages, ten
cities and siXty-one townships. The
disease is confined mainly to four
sections Of the state: Jefferson coun-
| ty, Albany county and vicinity,
Broome county and vicinity, and Onon-
daga, Cayuga and Seneca counties. DR..
De Vine said in part:
During the years 1908 and 1909 to
date our records show eighty-nine per-
sons bitten by rabid animals, of whom
| five have died; eight horses bitten,
of which three have died; forty cattle
bitten, of which twenty-six died; fifty
two sheep bitten, OF which thirty-siX
have died, and eight swine bitten, of
| which seven have died. This does not
| include the hundreds of dogs that
have died of rabies or have been killed
because they showed symptoms Of the
| disease, as well as the number that
have been exposed and might have
developed the disease had they not
been destroyed as matter of pre-
| caution. Records from the Department
of Health of New York City show a
| list of deaths on account of rabies
| which includes the names of forty
six persons varying in age from three
| to seventy-two years.
Since rabies is almost always caused
by stray dogs which suddenly appear
in community. biting dogs and other
animals and sometimes persons, there
| by forming a nucleus for an outbreak,
! develop rabies later, the only method
of merit known today to prevent the
disease is confinement and seclusion,
or by huzzling. 1t has been positively
proved that dogs are the greatest
carriers of rabies, and by controlling
the dogs we control the disease.

The injurious action Of Coffee on
the heart of many persons is we'll

caffeine. This is drug found by
chemists in coffee and tea.
A woman suffered long time with
severe heart trouble and finally her
doctor told her she must give up
coffee, as that was the principal cause
of the trouble. She writes:
my heart was so weak it could
not do its work properly. Ny hus-
band would sometimes have to carry
me from the table, and it would seem
that / would never breathe again.
1.-THE doctor told me that coffee
was causing the weakness Of my
heart. He said l must stop it, but
1t seemed l could not give it up until
/ was down in bed with nervous
prostration.
For eleven weeks l lay there and
suffered. Finally Husband brought
home some Postum and I quit coffee
and started new and right. Slowly l
got we'll. Now I do not have any
headaches, nor those spells with weak
heart. We know it is Postum that
helped me. The DR.. said the other
day, I never thought you would be
