Three Christmases have come and gone since I took your treatment, and not one time in the three years have I eyer wanted to taste a drop of strong drink, although have had many temptations, 1t IS no trouble now for me to resist The treatment destroyed all thirst. I know that ner- vousness as 1t exists with drinking men is disease and requires treat ment like other diseases. After a course of treatment at your Sanator- ium, no one need fear falling if they will only shun old and bad associ- ates. Of course anyone can reculti- vate the same desire again. and in that way create the same disease ten thousand thanks to the James Sanatorium. Your true friend.

AFfER BURlETTS SCALP
COHGREsSMAN SAID TO FAVOR lHEPnuRN BILls.
uIs Frsehds Declare There May De Liquor h Homes, But He
 Would Keep ft Out of

Birmfngham, Nov. z7-( (Speciai) - Report reached anti-amendment head quarters today that former Congress- man M ". Howard. of pcKAfb. in his speeches In the Seventh District. 10 making the charge that congress- man John L. Burnett who. is touring that territory in favor of the amend Ynent is committed to vote for the Hepburn bil1 which would prohibit the shipment of liquors from wet state to any dry state or any terri tory in another state.
 Mr. Howard 1t Is said. does not make the charge but declares that Congressinan Burnett is not conceal ing his attitude in this matter. but has openly said in his recent utter ances that he favors the Hepburn bill.
 When Mir Howard makes such statements he follows them with the declaration that he is not speaking against the amendment for political reasons and denies that he will be a candidate for the office of Seventh District Congressman or any other of flee.
 To the vast audience which greeted him at Centre. in answer to the re- peated demands of his hearers that he year. Mir. Howard made 1t clearly understood that he would not be a candidate to succeed Mir. Burnett.
 To the representative of The Adver-7 tfser Mir. Howard declared this week that he has no more congressional aspirations. He held the office for two terms.
 The situation presented by Con- gressman Burnett's reputed committal to the Hepburn bill is interesting. The anti-amenders here look on 1t as proof of their frequent charge that the same forces who are fighting for the amendment have in mind the ulti- mate and complete prohibition of not only the sale but the importation and use of strong drinks.
 The Defenders aIIege that the Con- gressmen of this and every other state are always under pressure of the Anti Saloon League to announce their stand on the Hepburn bill. And the anti-amenders wonder at the late-hour protests of the Amenders that they would not for the world try to keep liquor out of mans home.
 If, as the Defenders argue, Con- gressman commits himself to the act of Congress that would prevent the shipment of liquors to man in dry state and Alabama Is now dry, the only legal means of that man procur- ing liquor for home or any other use
 
 stretch of the imagination but justi- liable conclusion that the amendment forces actually intend by section of the amendment to pass laws prevent ing a person keeping" liquors in his own home.
 It is said that Congressman Burnett now realizes seriously the split among his following in the Seventh District by his opposition to the amendment Feeling runs high throughout the rural precincts as well as the towns and cities on this amendment ques- ton, and previous close friends of Mir. Burnett are criticising him for his support of the amendment And these do not hesitate to call out for a man to Ego after Johns scalp"
 Anyway, it is not very likely that MT. Burnetts case will be overlooked and the gossip is that he will have strong opposition next year before he is returned to Congress.

(By Associated Press. }

Los Angeles, March 3.-The will
of Lucky" Baldwin, the turfman
and plunger, disposing of property
valued at about s25 100000, was
file din the court today. All the near
relatives were recipients of large be-
quests. 1t is understood the DISPOSE
ton is satisfactory to all the rela-
tives and there will be no contest
on their part.
Baldwin's daughters are well pro-
vided for The widow shares in the
San Francisco property valued at half
a million, her share of the estate be-
ing less than 100000. E. A. I'm
rub, business manager for Baldwin,
is made executor of the will and is
the beneficiary to the extent of 100
acres valued in excess of $25, A
clause in the will provides against
a possible contest. In addition to
containing a forfeiture clause in con-
nection with all requests, the docu-
ment says: when I declare that l
have no issue now living other than
my said three children hereinbefore
named and that there are no chill
dren living of any deceased child of
mine, another provision is that any
person who establishes legitimate
claim shall receive ten dollars and
such person shall take no other or
further share in my estate"

4, 1908.

would be some compensation for it,
but the whole thing is a gigantic
scheme on the part of the New York
syndicate to make $60,000.000 out
of the people.
There was almost a war once in
this country when tax on tea and
coffee was proposed, and / believe
that when this is understood there
will be such a public clamor that it
will be dropped. The scheme has
been exposed. The people have been
mulcted enough by the big financiers.
They are the ones who will profit by
this. The ordinary importers, like
ourselves, are not in a position to
stand the extra tax, and they will
increase the cost OF the article, and
in the final analysis the people will
nav. 1t is one of the worst forms
of tax. as it strikes at what Is prac-
tically a necessity, and a necessity
used largely by the workers of the
country. The tax of Is cents pound
on tea is bad enough, but, tea is not
so generally drunk as coffee, and the
increase in price from 25 cents to
80 cents a pound for coffee will add
materially to the cost of living, and
that is one Of the things we are try
ing in this country to prevent"

MILE. JEANNE GERvILLE-REAcHE AS DE-
LILAH.
1t has been so from the beginning of
things in the world of music, so Mary
Garden was only following presidents
when she started hostilities because
Impresario Oscar Hammerstein pro-
posed to put Nile. Lima Cavalieri on at
the Manhattan Opera House in the
role Of That's, which Mary Garden
claims to have created. 1t was bad
enough for Mr.. Hammerstein to have
war with a woman on his hands;
but, to make matters worse, he CHANGED
about the same time to offend some
newspaper men. who took it upon
themselves to square accounts with
the opera manager in the way that
men sometimes adopted in times gone
by before courts were instituted for

sons Jared somewhat more badly at

Another war that Impresario Ham

was with Mile. Jeanne Gerville-Reache,
who has been very much the vogue In

the artistic temperament highly devel

that her temper is easily excited. In
connection with launching his Phila-

merstein had occasion to refer in

experiences with musical artists, who.
he said, were the bane of his exist

TARIFF ON COFFEE
To Be OPPOSED
SCHEME ON PART OF NEW YORK
SYNDICATE TO MAKE $50, OOO,-
900 BY A CONTROL OF THE
MARKET.
(By Associated Press. }

San Francisco, March 3.-The pro-
posed tariff on coffee and tea to meet
the national deficit is arousing a
storm of protest throughout the
country, a portion of which finds it's
expression through the importers Of
San Francisco, who supply the Pa
cific coast The bill is now before
the ways and means committee of
the lower house of congress, and if it
shows any signs of passing the pres
ent protest will swell into a national
cry against a tax on the national
drink.
If the bill were backed by the SEN
timent of the country, the importers
say, they would not object, but they
point out the fact that it has been
fostered by a small coterie of finan-
ciers in New York who will profit to
the extent of $60,000,000 within a
few months on the strength of the
coffee tariff
This small coterie, composed of
two New York coffee importers and
some New York bankers, have sup
piled Brazil, the largest coffee cOun-
try, with money, which, in turn, was
advanced to planters, to prevent
them Cutting the market and knock
ing the bottom out of it. This has
given the Gotham bankers control of
from nine to twelve million bags.
All Of this they can have in this
country before the tariff goes into
effect, and being sold, will bring in
a profit from the increased price on
account of the tariff alone of about
$6O,000,oO0.
This enormous sum would come
from the great mass of the people
and the amount of coffee thrown on
the market would probably prevent
the usual importations for two or
three years, thereby defeating the
purpose of passing the bill.
The grounds on which the tariff is
urged is that Porto Rico and the
Hawaiian islands want it. AS a
matter Of fact, these two coffee Sec
tions only produce about tenth OF
the coffee consumed in this country,
and under the most rigorous tilling
could not meet the demand within
twenty years. This country con-
sumes in one year 900,0O0,O0O
pounds of coffee Very little Porto
Rican is used here, most of it going
abroad On the Pacific coast Guate-
mala and Costa RIGA coffee is used.
The Hawaiian yield is only 100000
pounds year.
The importers realize that the
passage of the bill will spell ruin for
some of them, but most Of them can
weather it, as the burden of the tax
will fall on the great body of the
people, especially the working class.
Webster Jones, of the Jones-Pad-
don company, one of the big import
ing houses of San Francisco, said
this morning:
eve can stand it, because the peo-
pie are the ones who will pay the
tax. 1t will merely mean an increase
