ACTION OF U. S.
Is WITH OUT
PRECEDENT

(By United Press Leased Wire. }
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 2.
80 far as has been ascertained
today the orders issued by the
war department relating to send
ing troops to Nicaragua and the
language employed by Secretary
Knox in his letter to Rodriguez In
denouncing Zelaya as personally
responsible for the killing of Can
non and Groce are without prece-
dent.
1t is believed that secret un-
derstanding has been reached be-
tween the state department and
senior Castrillo looking toward CO.
operation with President Estrada,
whom Castrillo represents, or even
of an invasion of Nicaragua by the
United States.

RUMORED THAT
Rates WILL Be
REDUCED

With Mantle Park voting two to
one for annexation and the date set
for the balloting in the big district
for the Greater Tacoma movement,
the street railway may be expected
10 take some steps to try to stop
the contamination of the plan by
which Tacoma will have 10000 peo-
pie at the census In April.
Already persistent rumor is
afloat that the company intends to
cut the rates again and probably
put In Is cent rate to puyallup on
khe short line. 1t will probably be
done In the next few weeks in time
to try to influence voters against
annexation.
The. effect of making a rate cut
now, however. just before the elec-
tion. will probably really have the
opposite effect from that intended.
II will simply accentuate the fact
that the street railway wants the
annexation plan killed aud IL the
people get that Thoroughly INTO
their heads they will come pretty
near making 1t unanimous for the
Greater Tacoma plan.

that will hit the billboards in a

is to be remodeled, and instead of
simply licensing billboard men
to post bills, the new ordinance
will levy a license on all boards
according to the square foot area.
BY this plan the billbcards can b'
taxed high enough to make tn

of Mr.. Cranes connection with the

of Mr. Cranes connection with the
diplomatic service.
Minister Crane arrived in Washing
ton from his hurried journey across
the continent, reiterated his declara-
ton of ignorance as to the occasion
for his rather dramatic recall from
the waters edge of the Pacific and
declined to discuss the matter in any
of it's aspects, beyond saying that
while he expected to be here several
days. he had reserved new accommo-
dations for the TranS-Pacific voyage
on the steamer sailing from San Fran
cisco on October 20. a week from
next Wednesday.
The state department has in hand, 1t
is said, what it regards as more or less
convincing evidence that Minister
Crane on the eve of his departure for
the far east became responsible for the
publication in a Chicago newspaper OF
what the department views as most
indiscreet discussion of the attitude OF
the United States toward the two
treaties recently negotiated between
China and Japan. This the department
holds to have been the more serious be-
cause that attitude is still under con-
fidential consideration, no decision haV-
ing been arrived at.
While the speeches delivered by
Crane before the American Asiatic as
ISOLATION at a dinner given in his hon
or, at Chicago, are viewed at the state
department as having been at best I'M
wise and undiplomatic, they had been
carefully considered after their dehv-
erv and before Mr.. Crane started for
San Francisco and although deprecated
were not regarded as justifying any
change in his plans. The Chicago pub
LEGATION, however, in the eyes of the de-
partment is in a category very differ
ent and far more serious.

the use of coffee or die.
Everything I ate distressed me,

frequently woke up in the night with
the feeling that I was almost gone
my heart seemed so smothered and
weak in it's action that L feared it
would stop beating. My breath grew
short and the least exertion set me to
painting. I slept but little and suffer-

coffee and began to use Postum, and
from the very first began to inn
prove. It worked a miracle. Now 1
can eat anything and digest it with

my heart beats full, strong and easily.
My breathing has become steady and
normal, and my rheumatism has left
me. I feel like another person, and
it is all due to quitting coffee and US

medicine and none would have done
any good as long as 1 kept drugging
