friend OF President TAFT, It is declared
the west and Taft the middle west
with assertions hat the republicans
should win the congressional elections
the two men will be found in accord,
standing shoulder to shoulder.
Roosevelt, who is recognized as the
greatest political gcnius this country
has cNer known, has gone TAFT one
better in the use OF the smile that
is childlike and bland. He has made
Taft no promises, He has promised
the Insurgents only that he stands for
what he stood for in the past. He
has made up his mind to hold the
republican party together until fall
and thus save it from defeat.
In one way this sounds like an ideal
dream, but on closer inspection 1t
takes On the aspect of one OF the
deepest political games of recent
times-a plan that would do credit to
the sagacitY of Roosevelt himself. So
il does, declare the Taft adherents,
ana for this aso the colonel is
glad enough to let the fact remain

If Roosevelt came out f~lat-footedly

if the grand hurrah and hlowoff

publican eampaigners more good than
If it were sprung at this early date.
All of these things are what the
friends qf Taft say. They add that,
for the present, both the president
and Roosevelt are o than willing
to let the country conjecture as to
what the final result will he because
in the end they will make a polluted
coup that will carry the elections for
the republicans. Undoubtedly, the
plan MS outlined by Tart S friends is
a great game, Whether it will be play
ed rests with the colonel.

Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving OF Coffee.

Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform. day

Postum instead OF ordinary coffee. An
Illinois woman writes:

y years. and finally had what the

from the change from coffee to Postum

and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.

There was time when all dogs

wolves were different from other dogs
only as collie now is different from
a Newfoundland. for instance. From

TELL OF AMERICAN GOLFERS
Horace Hutchinson, Once British Anna
teur Champion, Says Young
sters Drive Accurately.

Horace Hutchinson, who years ago
won the British amateur champion
ship and who is regarded as one of
the best players and an authority on
the game, recently made a visit to
America, practicihg on several of the
best eastern courses.
He writes In the London Daily Tele-
graph of American golf as follows:
Speaking generally, there is no
doubt whatever that golf in America
Is on the up grade. 1t is improving in
its standard of efficiency-that stand
ard is set very high now among the
amateurs, especially among the anna
teurs OF the west-and 1t is also in
creasing In favor. The interest taken
in 1t Is great, and the entry list of
PA for the amateur championship just
decided is far and away the largest
that has ever been seen on that side,
and even beats us over here. The
number Of young and athletic golfers
has greatly multiplied. and these
young golfers, besides having the long
driving power which Is the natural gift
of their youth and strength, have a
faculty of straight driving, which few
of the gifted youth of our land seem to
bother about.
'The reason is not far to seek. Most
of the courses on the other side are
cut out Of primeval forest. They go
between woodland on this side and
on that, even as the British golfer of
the old school and of the old links
used to have to go between thickset
whin bushes. Therefore OF painful
necessity they have learned to keep
the ball straight, while our own young
Jehus. on the broad roads which now
stretch where the whins have been all
worn away, drive with a furious
crookedness that brings them to quick
destruction as soon as they find them
selves on a course that Is at all mar
row That is the point In which the
| best of the American amateurs seem
to me to excel the best of our younger
players--the straightness of their long
game-and 1t is an excellence which
win tell its tale when the two are
brought TO trial"
