LEARNING THINGS. We Are All in the Apprentice Class.

When a simple change of diet brings back health and happiness. the story T. briefly told. A lady of Springfield, H.. says:
 After being afflicted for years with nervousness and heart trouble, I re- ceived a shock four years ago that left mo in such condition that my life was despaired of.
 "I could get no relief from doctors nor from the numberless heart and nerve remedies I tTie l, because I didn't know that coffee was daily putting me back more than the dot tors could put me ahead
 Finally at the request of a friend, left off coffee and began the use of POstum, and, against my convictions. I gradually improved in health until for the past 6 or 8 months I have been entirely free from nervousness and those terrible sinking, weakening sreiis of heart trouble.
 My troubles all came from the use of coffee. which I had drunk from childhood, and yet they disappeared when I quit coffee and took up the use of Postum."
 MdHy people HdINel at lHe elIectS of leaving off coffee and drinking Postum, but there is nothing marvel ous about it-only common sense.
 Coffee is a estroyer-Postum is rebuilder. That's the reason. Look in plxgs. for tEe famous little book, "The Road to Melville"
 Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

HANS TRIAL JURY
 ALMOST COMPLETE
It Is Quite Certain That a Lunacy
 Commission Will Be Appointed.

Flushing, April 26.-With ten jurors in the box and peremptory challenges allowed by law to each side nearly ex- hausted. it is likely that another day will see the jury completed and the real battle begun for the life of Hains. Should a commission in lunacy to de- termine the defendants present mental condition be applied for, it will be or dered by the court either on applica- ton of District Attorney Dewitt or as soon as evidence of insanity is pre- sented by the defense.
 John E. Mcintyre, chief counsel for the defense, contends that his client is insane. but said today he was not in a position to ask for lunacy com mission. If the case is allowed to go to the jury, several alienists will be called as witnesses by each side.

The annual school boy rifle tour nament which was held in Washing ton Easter week, attracted much at tention. Through the courtesy of the national guard the boys were per mitted to practice at the armory Sat urday afternoons and a set of model rules was drawn up for their guild ance The members of each club were under the absolute control of the club captain or secretary. who divided the boys into squads of ten, saw that they were provided with number targets and that they kept in their squad and to their number. When the targets were ready they were suspended and the squads took their places with their rifles but without ammunition, which was then distributed by the club cap tain or secretary. who gave each boy ten cartridges. As the shooting was done with the U. s. 22 musket gal lery practice, the cartridges had to be loaded in a holder and two boys were detailed for this purpose for each squad. For each holder lost the club was fined 35 cents. Only the ten members of the squad shooting. the club secretary or captain, and the range officers were allowed beyord the ropes during the shooting. 4 list of "DOn'ts" was issued to the boys, containing the following:
 Don't point your gun anywhere but at the target.
 Don't load until you are ready to fire.
 Don't drop the rifle on the floor; it may bend the sights.
 Don't fire until you are sure of your aim.
 Don't fire if yoJ are unsteady. Take your rifle down and rest.
 Don't talk on the firing line while practice is going on. (
 Don't fail to try to make the best score you can.

AS TO building more boats / do not

alton has not been studied out
altogether as to what the policy is this

1.-The Wilhelmina is very large yes
sci, about two-thiTds as large as the
Korea and Siberia, and with cargo
capacity of six or seven thousand tons.
with room in the cold storage for about
400 tons. She has steerage accOmmo-
dationS for about one hundred. This
space is arranged SO that hunks can
be put in as the bookings require, and
movable partitions can be installed,
SO that if all the space IS not used by
passengers 1t can be used for freight.
In my opinion, If there happens TO be
any overplus Of cabin passengers single
men viii find that a dormitory fitted
up for them in this section viii be

She was launched without mishap
The builders notified Captain Matson
that she would be launched at eleven
clock on certain day in September.
At two minutes to eleven one of the
builders standing next to Wilhelmina
Tenney said ''Now!' and as the bot
tie of champagne struck the bow,
thrown by Wilhelmina, the boat start
ed down the ways easily and slid into
deep water exactly on time. 1t was
the first time [ ever saw such big boat
launched and it certainly was an inn
pessive sight.
''The builders will turn the boat over
to the owners about December l, al
though she was not due for this cere-
mony until about the 18th. l believe
she will develop trial speed of about
is knots. She should maintain a speed
of IA or Is knots on the regular run
between Honolulu and San Francisco.
If she leaves here on a Tuesday she
should arrive in San Francisco the fol-
lowing Monday and leaving San Fran
cisco on a Wednesday, for instance,
should arrive here the following Tues
day. At present our boats leaving here
Tuesday arrive at the Coast the fol
lowing Tuesday.

be arranged for the Wilhelmina. Owing
to her great cargo capacity and the
length of time required to load and
unload her she can not be put on a

 FOR SIMPLE FINE
Demand for a Jail Sentence in the Case of James Cox, Accused of Policy Gam bling.

Attorney J. E. Klein appeared for James Cox and John Moran in the city court this morning when they were arraigned on a. charge of selling policy slips. Attorney Klein demur- red and in a persuasive argument pleaded for a simple fine in both cases Judge Foster fined Moran $25 and costs. Prosecuting Attorney Delaney asked for a jail sentence in Cox's case as the slip in evidence had been pur- chased of him at 12 o'clock on March s, after Cox had been convicted in the Common Pleas court of the same of fenSe and at which time Prosecuting Attorney Elmore' $. Banks had made his famous declaration that policy men would hereafter be jailed as well as fined. MT. Delaney said, that the act coming only a few hours after Cox's conviction in the higher court showed an unusual contempt for the law. Judge Foster fined Cox S75 and costs and added a jail sentence of 30 days. Bonds were fixed at $50 on an appeal
