THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug-cGfe ine-which is
especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when / was child in my moth
er's arms and first began to nibble
things at the table, mother used to
give me sips Of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water
"And so l contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t In the coffee-mill, as a sub
stitute for coffee.
But it did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard
Of I continued to use coffee until /
was 27, and when / got into ONCE
work, began to have nervous spells.
Especially after breakfast 1 was SO
nervous / could scarcely attend to my
correspondence.
AT night, after having coffee for
supper, could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
"a friend persuaded me to try
Postum. My wife and did not like
it at first, but later when boiled good
and strong it was fine Now we would
not give UP Postum for the best coffee
we ever tasted.
Il can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. l

ers."

QUITS TURKISH EMBASSY
OSCAR sTRAUs WISHES TO RE-
TIRE AS AMBASSADOR.
President Taft and Secretary Knox
Declared Anxious to Retain Him
in Diplomatic Service.

Washington. - Oscar s. Straus Of
New York, ambassador to Turkey,
has informally submitted his res
ignation to President Taft. Mr..
Straus has been the American diplo-
matte representative at Constantine
pie since May II, 1909. He is tired
of the diplomatic service, it is said,
and wishes to resume his residence
in this country. He is now in this
country on leave of absence.
Mr. Straus was secretary of COM
merce and labor in President Roose-
velts administration. The president
and Secretary Knox, however, have
not accepted the resignation, and it is
still held in allegiance. The diplomatic
post at COnstantinople is important at
the present time, notably on account
of the fact that an application for a
s50,000,000 railroad project in Asia
Minor has been filed by the Ottoman
American Development company, an
American concern. The granting of
the concession was opposed by the
German ambassador at Constantinople
on the ground that the proposed rail-
road would iniure German railroad en-
terprises in that region.
In spite of the opposition of Ger
many, however the Ottoman minister
Of public works and council of the
ministers has approved the proposed
concession, and it is now pending be-
fore the Turkish parliament.
Several other important questions
are pending in the Orient, in which
Secretary Knox Is interested. Both
President Taft and Mr.. Knox are anx-
ious to retain Ambassador Straus in
the diplomatic service on account of
his long diplomatic service there and
they may persuade him to remain in
the service and return to the post.

northern Canada, Messrs. Hawley
and Post, the Unsuitable aeronauts,
who, according to available data,

afternoon, October 10. 1900 feet on
the surface of an unnamed mountain,
which, as nearly as they could reckon,
lies about So miles north of Chicou-
timi and about eight miles north of
Lake Tschistigama.
Storm Forced Them to Land.
They had been involved Ir a snow
storm, which was ACCOMPANIED by a
change in the wind to more north
cr!v direction from that which. up till
then, bade fair to carry them to the
Labrador coast. The adverse condi-
tons compelled them to land, much
against their wishes. Landing was
effected easily and the balloon was
left in good condition,
Sanguinely they started to ge to

uncommonly near the end of their
provisions, but recounting the story OF
