sistant Attorney General Fowler Is said
to be Independent of the suggestions
made by Mr.. Perkins
The Department of Justice, however,
is expected to proceed with their case
against the harvester combine unless
the company reorganizes in strict con-
formity to the views of the department.
Department officials are not inclined
to make concessions, Ii is said, AMI
propositions Of this sort probably will

in official circles that the department
has worked out its case against the
harvester company, and that 1t Is ready
for presentation to a Federal court at
any time. and the only reorganization
the department is inclined to sanction
is one that will bring the company
within the exact letter and spirit Of
the Sherman law.
, In other words, II is expected the de-
partment will insist that the agreement
with the harvester company shall be
submitted to a Federal court, so that
1t will take final shape somewhat in
the form of a decree which may not
thereafter be violated.

SPANISH REBELS
MARCHING FORWARD
TO SEIZE VALENCIA
Aope to Take City and Di-
rect Campaign From
That Point.

MADRID. Sept. N.-The center Of the
uprising against the government today
was in the neighborhood of Valencia.
Reports received by Premier CanaIejas
stated that $500 well-armed and equip
ped revolutionists, led by former army
officer, were marching on that city.
They hope to take advantage of the
industrial conditions there, gain possess
sion Of the city. and from there direct
a campaign against the present govern
ment.
Additional troops are being rushed to
battle will be fought in the vicinity OF
Valencia If the revolutioDists are as
strong and as we'll armed as reported.
The telegraph lines leading into Va
lencia have been destroyed by the revolu-
tionists, and the nearest point of COM
munication is seventy-five miles from
the city. Because of this fact, details of
what is happening are meager.
The latest reports from the city proper
SAID that the police and cavalry, by
series Of desperate charges, managed
TO dispense the mass of rioters who
throughout the night held possession Of
the Plaza del Mercedes. There were
casualties on both sides.
AL Points Guarded.
Troops now hold the approaches to the
Alameda and the botanical gardens, es
the rioters had threatened to destroy
both. Guards are also posted about the
University of Valencia, many of whose
students are known to hold revolution
airy beliefs.
The torpedo boats have been sent to
Villa Neuva del Grao, the seaport of
Valencia, and they will prevent revolu-
tionists doing damage to the harbor
there. The latest reports received from
Saragossa state that the situation there
continues grave. There was much street
hghting during the night and 1t was
finally necessary for the cavalry to
charge the crowd to clear the main
streets.
The narrow thoroughrares on the out
skirts of the city are still held by strik-
ers and their sympathIzers, and the
guards about the municipal buildings
have been greatly increased.

RABY's TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when / removed his
shirt.
We tried a great many remedies.

ization of the governors of the South
ern and cotton growing States dur
ing the conference. The entire Texas
delegation stands with him in this
matter, and as a result the gentlemen
who have already arrived from other

quirements Of the cotton producer"

that it should be formed and its mem

Its duty. 1 take it, should be to
take action ON such matters as affect |
the interests of the cotton producers |
and to be of mutual benefit to the !
people of our Southern States.
Cooperation between the govern
ors of these Southern States will, l |
believe, help the cotton industry more
than anything else"

the conference that is to begin this
week. 1....
Il have decided that nothing shall
come from us regarding this confer
ence until the governors have met"
he said. What l have to say more
should be said before them"

by another gentleman, however, it is
the consensus of opinion that the

THE TEA PENALTY.
a Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
the wife OF an employe of one of the
great roads says:
my husband is railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
it has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked it
strong.
Tea has, of late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or so, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would 60 to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
"At first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste Of
it, and it somehow seemed to do him
good. he added it to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better, he began to
drink it for his noon meal. and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
"His brother, who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking, was persuaded
by US to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by
