A WIDOWS LUCK
oui: the Thing That Was Slowly In
iuring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept hera
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, i did not
realize the gravity Of my condition till
I was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was so bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
l was widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that / wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened 10
read an advertisement containing
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that | was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flted by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
MY health began to improve lmme-
diately The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then / again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.

gan to use Postum and l am using it
still, and shall continue to do SO, as

TAFT THANKS HOUSE
PRESIDENT URGES SPEEDY RE-
CIPRocITY ACTION IN NEW
YORK SPEECH.
SAYS ANNEXATION TALK B0SH
Compact With Canada Must Be Taken
Up Now or Never Says Chief
Executive in Address Before
Newspaper Men.

New York-President Taft openly
thanked the Democratic house of
representatives for the stand it has
taken on the question Of Canadian
reciprocity when he spoke at the an
nual banquet Of the Associated Press
and the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association at the Waldorf
Astoria.
His address was the first of a
series in which he plans to evoke pub
lie sentiment in support of his poll
cies, and he appealed to the company
Of editors and newspaper owners,
gathered from the length and the
breadth Of the land, to impress on the
public mind that reciprocity should
stand alone and "ought not to be af-
fected in any regard by other amend
ments to the tariff law"
All talk Of annexation he character
lied as "bosh," and said that the
United States has all II can attend
to with the territory it is now gov
erning
He praised the house of representa-
tives for Its passage of the agree
ment; declared that 1t would not in
jure the farmer nor any special class,
answered in detail the objections
that have been raised to reciprocity
and begged for at least "a kind Of
test" to dispel the ghosts exhibited
to frighten the agricultural classes"
President Taft devoted the greater
part Of his address to the Canadian
reciprocity agreement.
| He said that the proposed agree
ment was not liked by some because
they say the farmers are not we'll
cared for in that meats and flour are
left out Of the agreement. The truth
about this Is, he said, that this coun-
try offered to put all commodities of
both countries on the free trade list,
but the Canadian commissioners
would not accept among other things
meats and -four for the simple rea-
son that they felt the American rails
ers of meats and -four would be able
to undersell the Canadian producers
in Canada This, he argued, shows
clearly that since Americans could
undersell Canadians in Canada, Cana
dians would not be able to affect the
American market in, such way as
to reduce the prices of these article
for American consumers. Consequent
ly, he pointed out, there was no rea-
son why Americans should want such
items on the free trade list.
President Taft objected vigorously
to the proposition that is being made
to gratuitously put these items on the
list and said that II we were not care
full, we might, under the favored ma
tion's clause in many of our interna-
tional agreements, find ourselves ma.
king free trade with the entire world
If we put them in the Canadian
treaty.
IF any objection" he said, "can
be made to the treaty on the ground
that any particular class derived less
profit from it than other classes, then
it is the manufacturer of the country
who ought to object, because the
treaty in its nature will not enlarge
his market as much as it will that of
| the farmer"

TILDEN IS ARRESTED
SENATE WARRANTS IN CON.
TEMPT CASE ARE SERVED ON
CHICAGO PACKER AND AIDS.
WRIT TO FREE THEM SECURED
Habeas Corpus Petition Attacking
Right to Demand Financial Rec
ords Then Is Filed Before Judge
and Order Issued.

Chicago.-Edward Tilden, the Chi.
cago packer, was arrested here for
contempt of the Illinois senate. The
contempt charge resulted from TIL
den's refusal to produce certain books
before the committee investigating
the election Of Senator Lorimer
The arrest of Mr.. Tilden, however,
did not take place until a writ OF
habeas corpus had already been grant.
ed by Judge Adelor J. Petit, which
was returned in court shortly after
Mr.. Tilden's arrest. The writ was
granted by Judge Petit about one-half
hour before Assistant Sergeant at
Arms Z. H. Hatfield of the state SEN
ate actually arrested Mr.. Tilden in the
offices Of the National Packing com
pany.
Immediately after he had served the
warrant on Mr.. Tilden, Hatfield him
self was served with the writ OF
habeas corpus by Deputy Sheritf
Lenke. Thereupon Hatfield took Mr.,
Tilden to Judge Petit's courtroom in
the county building. There he was re-
leased under bonds of $4,000, fur
nished by the United States Fidelity
and Guarantee company.
George M. Benedict, cashier Of the
Drovers' Deposit National bank, and
William c. Cummings, cashier OF the
Drovers' Trust and Savings bank
Jared exactly as did Mr.. Tilden. 1t
was announced that the ruling that
Judge Petit will make after hearing
arguments on the petition for the re-
lease of Mr.. Tilden will affect them
equally with the banker.
This ruling will decide whether Mr.
Tilden will be sustained in his refusal
to produce his books and those of his
banks before the Helm committee OF
the senate, which is investigating
charges that the election OF Lorimer
was obtained through bribery. II
Judge Petit orders his release the sen
ate will be obliged to abandon Its ef-
forts to find out whether the books
contain any entries which would
throw light upon the source OF the
Lorimer election fund. On the other
hand, II Judge Petit refuses to grant
the petition for Mr.. Tilden's release
1t means that he must appear before
the senate and either reconsider his
refusal to produce his books or be
punished for contempt, probably by
Imprisonment.
The petition for the habeas corpus
writ as filed gave several reasons for
the release of the three men. 1t al
legged that the subpoena duces tecum
with which they were served to pro-
duce their books before the senate
did not particularly describe the books
they were to produce, that 1t was not
supported by oath or affirmation and
that it was not signed by the presi-
dent of the senate. 1t is also alleged
that the powers of the Helm commit
tee are inadequate.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS : g s g s 9 g ss s 8 ;

Columbus, O.-The three men ar
rested on complaint of George b. Nye,
representative from Pike county, and
charged with bribery, out on bail, as
sert they are detectives in the employ
of William J. Burns, of San Francisco
graft and Los Angeles Times plot
fame, who were sent to Columbus to
investigate reports of wholesale cor
ruption and bribery in connection with
the enactment of laws by members of
the Ohio general assembly. They
claim that they have secured convinc-
ing evidence of legislative graft
against between fifteen and twenty
senators and representatives, which is
ready for presentation to the Frank
lin county grand jury. The arrests
are to be followed Immediately by a
sweeping inquiry into all the charges
of legislative bribery.
The state house was shaken to its
foundations by the arrests and the still
more sensational announcement that
the Burns men had been at work for a
month on members of the general as
sembly and that the hour was at hand
for the presentation to the grand jury
of the proof the sleuths had gathered.
Detectives Released.
Arrested at midnight Saturday on
warrants sworn out by Representative
Nye that he had been paid 5000 by
them and promised $4,000 as Jack
pot" to defeat the Green bill for a
nine-hour workday for women and to
secure the passage of the Whitemore
insurance bill, David H. Barry and A.
C. Bailey, of Chicago, and F. S. Harri-
son, of New York, known to Nye as
lobbyists, but themselves claiming to
be Burns detectives, were released
from the Columbus city prison on bail.
Barry, against whom there were two
warrants, gave $4,000 bond and the
others $4,000 each for their appear
ance.
1t is understood that continuance
will be h3Id to give the grand jury
the opportunity to make a full and
complete investigation of wholesale
bribery in the legislature.
May Land a Dozen.
Before we get through We expect
to land more than a dozen members
of the Ohio legislature. We've got
the goods on them now" That was
the calm statement of David F.. Barry.
The Burns men have been busy for
q month, they say. They have two
adjoining rooms in the Chirtenden
connected by door.
"Tthis is how we worked it," said
Barry, pointing to a couch. The con-
