The transfer of all cabinet Offices to

TOBACCO PLAN HIT
INDEPENDENTS SAY ,TsW,LL NOT
RESTORE COMPETITION.
Attorney General Suggests Restrie-
lions by Court to Prevent Pos
"a sible Reformation OF Trust.

New York-Ths plan for reorgani-
zation Of the tobacco trust submitted
BY the American Tobacco company
and co-defendants to the government
antitrust suit was both praised and
condemned before the circuit court
judges OF the United States for the
southern district OF New York
After Attorney General Wickersham
had filed the governments answer to
the plan. Lewis Cass Ledyard, arguing
for the defendants. insisted that 1t was
an honest plan to comply with the
Supreme courts mandate for reor-
ganization that will restore colnpeti
ton in compliance with the terms Of
the Sherman antitrust law.
Representatives Of the preferred
stockholders and bondholders of the
companies urged approval Of the d..
vision of the trust into four segre-
gated companies. to be operated indie
pendent Of each other.
Independent manufacturers, dealers.
and producers OF tobacco unanimously
disapproved the plan on the ground
that 1t is a sham proposal to divide
the properties, control OF which still
would be retained ~ the group Of In
dividuals now dominating the indus
try. Louis D. Brand.,is of Boston made
the principal argument against the
proposal.
The answer OF the attorney general
did not express general opposition to
the dissolution plan, but contained for
the guidance OF the court many re-
strictions deemed necessary to as
sure restoration Of competition n the
tobacco industry. gs
Maintaining that it was impossible
for the court to determine in advance
whether a plan actually will accom-
Plish effective competition. the attor-
ney general requested that right be
reserved to the government to apply
to, the court at any time within Ave
years for other relief upon showing
that the plan did not result In . new
condition In harmony with the law.

THE TEA PENALTY.
a Strong Man'eS Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife of an employe of one of the
great roads says:
my husband is q 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
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work, and he
has no time to write himself
"He has been great tea drinkey
all his life and has always liked u
strong.
Tea has, OF late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. 1t first It soothed him. but
only for an hour or so. then 1t 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 tho
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 1t for his noon meal, and now
ihe will drink nothing else at table.
His condition Is so wonderfully Inn
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 10
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken No medicine ana made no
other en- ange 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
