LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink It?

A minister's wife had quite tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty, /
became addicted to coffee drinking. Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds. and it was quite natural that
I should want a good, hot cup of cof-
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and could keep awake better.
After three or four years of coffee
drinking became a nervous wreck
and thought that ] simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
/ was subject to frequent bilious at
tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
After being married, Husband
begged me to leave of coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, SO I resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum. and for
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant. but
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally I began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use of Postum I now feel IKE q
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since I left on coffee"

THE SENATE ACTIVE.

MORE RAPID WORK IN VIEW
insurgents" Said to ee Causing De.
lay, They Giving More Trouble
than the Democrats.

Washington. - Beginning Monday
the daily sittings of the senate will
commence at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing. The hour has been advanced in
the hope of expediting final action on
the tariff bill by more rapidly dispos-
ing of the long speeches as well as of
the detailed discussion of the various
disputed schedules. The 'considera-
ton of the measure has developed
greater opposition on the part Of a
dozen or SO of republican senators
than was expected, and the support
ers of the bill feel that every possible
effort must be made to exhaust their
criticism and bring the bill to vote.
So far, however. they have received
no encouragement from the 'insur-
gents" and the republican leaders are
quite in the dark as to when the end
may be reached. Indeed, they are
finiIng less difficulty on that point in
dealing with the independent republi-
cans and the opinion is freely ex-
pressed that but for this antagonism
a day might soon be set which would
decide the fate of the measure.
The discussion this week will deal
with the various paragraphs which
have been passed over, but there will
be few speeches on the general
tariff question. including one by Sen
ator Depew, which probably will be
delivered Monday. Senator Clay has
prepared and will deliver. probably on
Tuesday. an elaborate speech CRITICS.
ing the sugar schedule and undertak.
ing to show that it is in the interest
of the sugar combination. The razor
schedule will receive first attention
Monday and Senator Simmons will
continue his efforts to have the rate
lowered.
Senator Bailey will continue to
press his demand for a vote on the
income tax as feature of the tariff
bill. but it is an open secret in the
senate that he is not now nearly so
confident of a successful result of
such a vote as he was in the begin
ming Of the agitation. Indeed. he has
confided to some of his friends his
conviction that some of the advocates
of such tax have been picked of"
by the enemy. The general opinion
among the supporters of the income
tax policy is that the cause in the
senate has been materially weakened
by the decision of the president not
to press for the tax. At any event,
it is not probable that a vote on the
question will be reached this week.
In the house. an attempt will be
made to pass the Philippine tariff bill
on Monday and the Porto Rico bill on
Thursday. The latter measure will
be reported Monday. Both bills will
arouse discussion, but it is not be-
lieved there will be any stubborn op-
position to either, and the committee
having them in charge are confident
of disposing of each after a day of de-
bate.

T.4E RATE Is VALID.
s;s,=y Law .s uphs.i sy Rcferee oa'

S;si.x Law ts upheli by Referee cai,
l!va..
The % rcr cent reduction In express
rates made by the SitIey law is held
val;i by Referee John ]. Sullivan in q
-erort fled in TIE supreme court OF
Nebraska. This srstains the cOntcn-
ton of Attorney General Thompson on
behalf of the state. The referee finds
that re Siblcy act is. not oonfiscatcry
as applied to the business OF the
various express companies and as a
conclusion Of law recommends that
judgment be given for the state. The
referee is also master IN chancery for
the federal court at Omaha in suits
pending in that court and he will Tile
the same report with Judge w. H.
Munger.
II the supreme court adopts the re-
port 1t will mean a saving OF about
$4,000 year to the people OF Ne
braska and little or no reduction IN
the profits Of the express companies.
The five companies doing business in
this state last year collected from the
people of Nebraska $735.O00.
The Sib!ey act was passed by the
legislature of 1907. Attorney General
Thompson sought to enforce the law
and filed an application for an injunc-
ton to restrain the companies from
violating its provisions. The COM
panies took, the case to the federal
court and il was remanded by Judge
T. c. Munger on the ground that the
state was the sole party at interest
and therefore the federal court had
no Jurisdiction. The supreme court
granted temporary restraining Or
der against the companies April Is
and since that time the act has been
in force. The supreme court appointed
Judge John ]. Sullivan referee to take
testimony and report findings of fact
and conclusions of law. The referee
held hearings in Lincoln, Omaha and
New York City.
Attorney General Thompson will file
a motion in the supreme court for
judgment upon the referees report.
The companies will probably file ex-
ceptions to the report and the case
will then have to be argued before the
court or submitted on briefs. This
may occupy considerable time. In the
meantime if the federal court should
find for the companies the attorney
general will have a strong point in
reserve in the supreme court of the
United States. He will assail the
jurisdiction of the federal court on
the ground that. the state is the sole
party at interest and that therefore
the state court alone has jurisdiction.
There are five identical cases. in
volving the Adams. American. Wells
Fargo, Pacific and United States Ex-
press companies. The finding by Judge
Sullivan in all is the same. In the
Adams case his finding concludes:
My conclusions of law are as fol-
low:
"First-That the Sibley act. so far
as it affects the business of the Adams
Express company, is not confiscatory.
"Second-That a judgment on its
merits should be entered in favor of
the state and against the company"

BRIGHT IDEA.
Does the World Think?

Man Is evidently made for thought:
this is his whole dignity and his whole
merit; his whole duty is to think as
he ought. Now the order of thought
is to begin with self. and with its au-
thor and its end. Now of what thinks
the world? Never of these things. but
of dancing. playing the lutte. singing.
making verses. fitting at the ring. etc.
of fighting. making ourselves kings.
without thinking what it Is to be a
king or what to be a man.-Pascal.
