ERROR IN

getting our treaties with England and
Panama put on a sensible, possible
ere just about to have our canal ready
to use, only to find that we have 80
tied ourselves up with other nations that
II Is about impossible to use It."
1nterpolating here some more ob5urga-
tions on the diplomacy of John Hay,
and expressing hearty admiration for
the British skill that had outwitted
Americas alleged diplomats" at all
points In the canal arrangements, the
speaker went on:
Some American interests have been
trying to organize company to build q
great fleet of steamships for the COM
coasts of this country. 1t has been ap-
parent that this kind of a company
must be kept independent OF railroad In
fluence. Recently, the word has gone
to interest any shpbullding companies
in constructing the craft II will require. :"
The names of two great shipbuilding
companies were mentioned at this point.
Would Prevent Development.
"I have not investigated all these mat
ters as yet. but the intimation comes to
us that transcontinental railway inter-
ests, determined to prevent the develop
ment Of traffic by the canal route, in
competition with their rails have
reached out to the powerful places in
finance, and made 1t impossible to get
money to build ships that will provide
competition.
THAT will all be investigated and
known about in due time. For myself,
| am prepared to support the policy Of
government construction of the ships for
this trade. The Panama Railway and
Steamship Company Is a magnificent OBJ
ject lesson in the. possibilities of that
plan. The government operation of
these steamships has doubled the busi-
ness, and reduced the New York-C Colon
rate from IS to $3.50 a ton, and there
the guards with California produce,
coming via the Panama railway. We
are going to have the canal work for
the public, II 1t becomes necessary to
build the ships and then operate them.
Why not? We need auxiliaries for the
navy. If we build them, we will have
them in case of war"

QUIT COFFEE AND TEA
What the Great German Specialist
says.

1t disappoints some people to be told
that coffee and tea cause disease. But
It Is best to look squarely at facts and
set the face towards health for that's
more fun than anything else anyhow. A
Cincinnati man consulted a Berlin ply
sician on nervous diseases and says:
-Four years ago l was an habitual
coffee drinker having used It for Is
years and being naturally of nervous
temperament l became almost a nerv-
GUS wreck. greatly suffering from in
somnia, almost constantly constipated
and weighing only 12s pounds.
II consulted physicians and took
medicine all the time but had no Ie-
lief. About three and a half years ago
I went abroad and while in Berlin
heard frequently of great physician,
Prof. Mendel, an authority on nervous
trouble, so 1 resolved to consult him.
prof Mendel surprised me very
much by asking at once If I was a cof-
fee drinker and on my telling him 1
used 1t two or three times a day he
said, 1T is poison After carefully ex-
amining me he told me there was moth
ing the matter with me whatever but
what could be entirely cured In 30 days
by letting coffee and other stimuants
alone and dieting.
II had a hard time following his ad-
vice. I did not know what to do Until
I came home and told my wife who got
some Postum. We tried 1t but at first
did not like it; then we went over the
directions on the package together and
found we had not boiled 1t long enough.
'rhat was the beginning of the end
of my trouble. for the Postum was de-
licious after that and / drank Il regu-
larly and it helped from the start.
I'm very short time I began 70 feel
much better and in the last three years
1 haven't been absent from business
one hour on account of Ill health, for
my health is fine now. l have a good
appetite, sleep well and weigh 175
pounds"
Any nervous person who drinks coffee
or tea will feel better from a 10 days'
change to Postum. Trial easily proves
this.

II This Medicine Does Not Benefit Y0u Pay
Nothing

A physician who made speciality of
stomach troubles, particularly dyspepsia
after years of study perfected the
formula from which Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspepsia
Tablets leads us to believe them to be
the greatest remedy known for the
relief of acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia. Their ingredients are sooth-
ing and healing to the inflamed mem.
branes of the stomach. They are rich
in pepsin, one of the greatest digestive
aids known to medicine. The relief
they afford is almost immediate. Their
use with persistency and regularity for
a short time brings about cessation Of
pains caused by stomach disorderl.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite aid digestion aud pro-
mote nutrition. AS evidence of our sim

warden's home town, voted for Mr..
Simpson on the first formal ballot,
while Judge Adams, of Kalamazoo,

Senator Gallinger of New
Hampshire will make another eff
fort to have the Rockefeller
Foundation of over one hundred
millions of dollars incorporated
under a government charter, and
a bill has been introduced in the
Senate by him for that purpose.
The incorporators named are
John D. Rockefeller, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., F. 7. Gates, S.
J. Murphy and C. O. Heidi. 1t
will be remembered that about a
year ago Mr.. Rockefeller made
an effort to donate this immense
sum for charitable education,
and other beneficent purposes,
but that there was objection by
some one in the Senate that such
an immense sum of money might
in time be used for purposes sub
versive to the government. Sen
ator Gallinger is of the opinion
that the language of the new bill
which reposes in Congress the
right to amend the charter at
any time will avoid the obj jections
formerly urged. The great sums
of money donated by Mr.. Rookie
feller, Mr.. Carnegie and other
multi-millionaires marks an ep.
och in the history of donations
There is nothing in former times
to compare with them, either ii
munifcence or in intelligent ben
efcence.
