HEREDITY
Can BE Overcome in Cases.

The influence of heredity cannot, of
course. be successfully disputed, but it
can ee minimized or entirely overcome
in some cases by correct food and drink.
A Conn. lady says:
For years while 1 was coffce drink
er I suffered from bilious attacks of
great severity, from which I used to
emerge as white as ghost and very
weak. Our family physician gave me
various prescriptions for improving the
digestion and stimulating the liver,
which I tried faithfully but without per-
ceptible result.
He was acquainted with my family
history for several generations back, and
once when I visited him he said: IF you
have inherited one of those torpid livers
you may always suffer more or less from
its inactiun. We can't dodge our inheri-
tance, you know
Il was not so strong believer in
heredity as he was, however, and, be-
ginning to think for myself, 1 concluded
to stop drinking coffee, and see what eff
feet that would have. I feared 1t would
be a severe trial TO give it up, but when
I took Postum and had it we'll made, it
completely filed my need for hot bev-
81 have used Postum for three years,
using no medicine. During all that time
l have had absolutely none of the bill
ious attacks that | used to suffer from,
and I have been entirely free from the
pain and debilitating effects that used to
result from them.
"The change is surely very great, and
am compelled to give Postum the
exclusive credit for It," Name given by
Postum Co., Battle Greek, Mich.

Ever read the above letter: A new

are genuine, true, and full of human
interest.

ADVISE WITH TAFT ON
LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Senators Martin and Cullom
Agree in Plan to Have Art
Commission Report.

Senators Martin and Cullom today
conferred with the President concern
ing a revision of the plans for the Lin
coin memorial to be erected in this city.
1t was proposed by Senator Martin
that his idea for a great memorial and
ornamental bridge across the Potomac
river be merged with that Of Senator
Cullom, who has fathered the idea of
a great national memorial in Washing
ton to commemorate the services to the
country of President Lincoln.
The President was very much inter-
ested in the suggestion made by the
Senator from Virginia. He said that it
seemed to him that while the Lincoln
memorial was being considered, the
bridge idea might be taken up, too, and
If possible the two might be coupled.
Ask Design for Memorial
Senator Cullom has for years favored
an appropriation from the Government
Of a sum sufficient to build a memorial
in Washington commensurate with the
Importance in American history of the
public services of the martyred Presi-
dent. He has already secured favorable
action on his bill in the Senate.
II was ueClueu at the conference this
morning to refer the whole matter to
the Art Commission, with a request for
a report and a design for a Joint me
mortal. Nothing further will be done
until the commission has considered the
matter.
The Rev. James L. White. a coIored
minister OF this city, called upon the
President today and asked him to SUD-
port the McMorran bill to reimburse
depositors In the Freedman's Savings
ana trust Company. He told the Presi-
dent that only the rules of the House
prevented the passage of the bill He
said that IL had been favOrably reported
out of the committees, and asked the
Executive TO aid him in getting immedi-
ate action.
Merchant Marine Conference.
Representative Hobson of Alabama to-
day conferred with the President about
the merchant marine bill which he in
troduced in the House, and which was
reported out of the committee yesterday.
He wanted the support of the Admins
tration on his bill. but he did not indi-
cate whether or not this was promised.
Two hundred young women students
of the West Chester, Pa, Normal School
today passed in line, and were received
by the President. They first called at
the Treasury, where they saw Secretary
MacVeagh. and later called at the Navy
Department, where they were received
by Secretary Meyer and Admiral Dewey.

TAFT HOPING FOR
RECIPROCITY VOTE
Southern Democratic Senator
Promises Aid to Avoid
Extra Session.

The feeling prevails at the White
House todayy that perhaps there will
be vote on reciprocity after all. The
visitors who called told the President
that the case was not hopeless, yet 1t
was far from encouraging.
Democrats in the Senate were visitors
to the Executive offices Some of them
came to introduce friends, but others
called in to say that they would assist
the Executive all they could in getting
vote. Among these was Senator
Smith of South Carolina.
This SOutherner said that the members
of his party wanted a vote and did not
want an extra session. He said that,
in the first place, the Canadian agree
ment was good democracy, and that it
should be supported by all members of
the party on that account.
Don't Want Extra Session.
Then, he added, the Democrats should
do what they could to prevent an extra
session. He said that farmers did not
want Congress brought back, the busi-
ness men did not want it, and no rea-
sonable excuse could be found why
Congress should again convene and re-
open the tariff.
This view. Senator Smith said, is held
by manw Democrats in Congress. He
said they know of no demand for legts-
lation, that is, legislation which mas
any show to get through Congress and
escape the Presidents veto.
Then Republicans came along. Ihey
were not certain about the. outcome
Most of them agreed that reciprocity
could not possibility reach veto. They
say that Senator Hale, who opposes it,
will consume practically the remainder
of the time of the Senate in the con-
sideration of appropriation bills. They
say that he cannot be prevented from
bringing forward his bills and demand
ing their consideration.
This is the view of Senator Flint or
California. He could not see anyway
of getting a vote unless all opposition
a bated and an agreement reached that
the measure would stand upon its
merits.
Massachusetts, Senators Call.
Senator Lodge was another White
House caller today who failed to see
how an extra session was going to be
avoided His colleague, Senator Crane,
was also there and while he did not
express himself to the reporters, he is
to hae told the President
that there was a remote possibility OF
getting vote. ,
The story reached the mite mouse
today that Senator AldriCh was on his
way to Washington to take hand in
the fight for reciprocity. hits. how
ever. could not be confirmed from any
sources. In TACT, ~ Is
doubted bv those at the White House
most likely to know the facts.
The President is much pleased over
the passage in the Senate Yesterday of
the Japanese treaty and today thank
I'd Senator Lodge for his good work
IN supporting this important measure. |

Men Dressed as Women and Women as
Men--Clyde Fitch's Cousin and Miss
Lepomme Among the List-BIiss Con-
ger Explains Her Sudden Disappear
ance From New York.

San Francisco.-When the liner Per-
STA arrived here from the Orient the
passengers were still talking about the
grand ball given in midocean in the
grand saloon of the ship. To a casual
observer it looked like brilliant So
cial affair, but to close students it was
revealed that something unusual was
taking place. There were pair of
merry widows dressed in costumes a
counterpart, it is said, even in brevity,
to those seen in the production of the
popular musical comedy. Mrs. Fitch
Conger and Miss Irma Lepomme Gre
ated sensation that was the hit of the
occasion.
Mrs. Conger is the wife of Roy u
Conger, son of the late e. II. Conger
minister to China. She is also a cousin
of the late Clyde Fitch and sister to
Miss Vera Fitch, who attempted sui
eide recently.
Miss Lepomme is a popular actress
She married Count Fortune Lepommt
about 10 years ago, divorcing him short
ly afterward.
The men passengers were doing theil
best to appear as charming women
They had on wigs and powder and paint
and were coy and hirtatious,
The women, on the other hand, die
their part toward making pleasant
evening by appearing as men, dressed
in the latest fashion, full dress an(
tuxedo.
More than score of women partici
pated, it is said, and the event wal
voted success far surprising the re
cent baseball game on the 10-year-olt
Maru, when the women wore hobbl'
skirts and the men played in haren
skirts.
Mrs. Conger made her debut on tn,
stage in New York about a year ag,
and mysteriously disappeared from tn
city last September, following the at
tempted suicide of her sister.
''The terrible stories printed and cir
culated about me denying Relationship
with my sister, after she attempted t.
end her life, caused me to leave 70
the Orient, especially as they charge
me with trying to thwart the police i
their attempt to clear up the so-calle
mystery of my sisters act, said Mr.
Cohger.
