Walking for Nerves.

The nerves suffer from want Of pure
oxygen. They run like a network all
through the skin and when they are
overwrought the skin is apt to be dry
and colorless. Walking is an excellent
tonic for the nerves. 1t gives them
strength to control themselves.
II one has means or leisure, there
are plenty of other more enjoyable ex-
ercises. But few forms are so bene-
fetal as the regular daily jaunt of four
or five miles for obtaining a good com
plexion.

a Hold-Up
An Oppressive Trust.

Before the Coffee Roasters' Association, in ses-
sion at Chicago on Thursday, Thomas ]. Webb,
of Chicago, charged that there is in existence
coffee combine which is ''the most monstrous i'm
position in the history Of human commerce.
There is very slight exaggeration about this
statement. 1t comes very close to being literally
true. There is coffee combine in Brazil, from
which country comes the bulk of TIE coffee used
in the United States, which is backed by the gov
eminent of Brazil and financed by it, which COM.
pels American consumers, as Mr.. Webb said, 'to
pay famine prices for coffee when no famine
exists
The worst thing about this is that the consum-
ers of the United States have been compelled to
put up the money through which this combine,
to further cinch them, has been made effective.
There were formerly revenue duties imposed upon
all coffee entering the United States. Those taxes
were denounced as imposition upon the people;
as taxing the poor mans breakfast table, and the
like. The taxes were removed. Immediately
thereafter Brazil imposed an export duty uponj
coffee up to the full amount of the former customs
taxes in this country. The revenue which for
merly went into the treasury of the United States
was diverted to the treasury Of Brazil The poor
mans breakfast coffee continued to cost him the
same old price.
But this was only the commencement. The
s'valorization" plan was evolved in Brazil.
Through this plan the government, using the rev.
enues derived from the export duties for the pur-
poses, takes all of the surplus crop in season Of
large yields and holds it off the market, thus
keeping the supply down to the demands of the
market and permitting the planters to receive a
much higher price than they would otherwise
have done.
The United States consumes more Brazilian cof-
fee than does the rest of the world We are the
best customers of Brazil and Brazil buys little
from us. Now Brazil is promoting, financing and
maintaining trust designed, and working effect
lively for the purpose, to compel American con-
sumers to pay an exorbitant price for the coffee
they use. What is the remedy?-Seatle PostIa-

Standard statistics of the coffee trade
show falling off in sales during the last
two years of over two hundred million
pounds. Authenticated reports from the
Postum factories in this city show
tremendous increase in the sale of Postum
in a like period of time.
While the sales of Postum invariably
show marked increase year over year, the
extraordinary demand for that we'll
known breakfast beverage during 1911 is
very likely due TO public awakening to
the oppression of the coffee trust.
Such an awakening naturally disposes
the multitude who suffer from the i'll
effects of coffee drinking to be more re-
ceptive to knowledge Of harm which so
often comes as a result of the use of
the drug-beverage, coffee. Battle Greek

SUMMER HOTEL GONE,
MAN NEARLY KILLED
The Forest House at Lake st, Catherine
in Rutland County Destroyed by
Fire Last Evening

Poultney, May 27.-Fire early last
evening destroyed the Forest House at
Lake st. Catherine and but for the
prompt work Of W. n. Owens of Gran
Vile. n. Y, who had five year lease on
the building, nothing would have been
saved of the furnishing. Craft Weir,
who lives in the vicinity of the lake ami
was assisting in handing things out of
the windows, narrowly escaped death
when the roof fell in.
The hotel was owned by William Num-
son. who leased ii to Air Owen. Mr..
Owen with his helper, Daniel Smith, had
been at the hostelry all day, cleaning
up the grounds and the buildings, getting
in readiness for the opening next week
The men were preparing to leave about
s o'clock for home, when Mr. Smith no.
tced that the entire upper part of the
building was mass OF flames. There
had been fire in stove in the house
during the day. and it is supposed that
the blaze caught from an overheated
chimney.
The men could do nothing to save the
property and devoted their attention to
moving out the furniture The damage
will amount to over $4,000 beside about
81 900 worth of furniture. There was
very little insurance carried by the
owners.

POLE DIVIDED RUNAWAY PAIR
Slowing Them So That the Separated
Beasts Were Easily Caught.

The pair of horses attached to wagon
belonging to John Hall, who resides or
east hill, became frightened while stand
ing in the yard at Ayerill's mills and
started out of the yard and down Main
street this morning about $3.50 and
caused great eommotion among the pass
ersby along Main street. The wagon
was backed up to the door at the mills.
and Mr.. Hall was loading it with grain.
when the horses suddenly jumped; and
the owner, who was standing on the rear
Of the wagon, lost his balance. After
leaving the yard, they swept down Main
street at terrific clip.
When in front of b. w Hooker's store,
the horses slowed somewhat. They had
kept close to the curb and were making
for the sidewalk when pole blocked
them. The equines showed no signs of
supersttiousness and chose to pass on
opposite sides of the pole in front of the
Hooker store The blow enabled the
horses to free themselves from their har-
ness. One of the pair fell to the side
walk. but regained its feet readily, and
they kept ON running, one keeping on
the sidewalk until the Granite Savings
bank was reached The other headed
for Elm street. Both animals were
stopped before going far. The Wagon
was not damaged to as great an extent
as many thought that it would be, the
tongue being broken off short ways
from the end and the braces at the base
slinhtly bent. The harness was badly
torn, and the horses were taken to 3

United States Marines Sent
Hastily to Cuba
PRES. GOMEZ IS REASSURED
1t Is Made Plain to Him That Purpose
of United States Has No Sinister
Meaning-Commande of Marines
Given Discretionary Orders.

Washington, d. c., May 27.-Feeling
assured that President Gomez misunder-
stood the purpose of the American gov.
ernment in dispatching large naval
force, the state department, after hav-
ing instructed American Minister Beau
pre- at Havana to make plain to the
Cuban government the purpose OF the
government, left it to the discretion OF
Colonel Karmany, commanding the ma
rine force, the extent to which the
marine shall be employed. 1t is believed
made aware of the fact that there is
no sinister purpose behind the move
ments of the naval vessels, and that
their commanders will do nothing more
than use force to prevent injury to
American lives and property, he will no
longer object.
The Cuban government has expressed,
through Minister Beaupre, its gratitude
to the United States for sending the
Prairie to Guantanamo The thanks of
the island republic were conveyed in a
reply addressed to Minister Beaupre, ac-
knowledging his message notifying Cuba
of the dispatch of the Prairie.
The note received by Mr.. Beaupre, a
copy of which was transmitted to the
state department yesterday, says that
"the Cuban government at present needs
only sufficient time to crush, as it will
surely crush, the unjustifiable racial re-
volts breaking out in other provinces
where, although only four days have
elapsed, no armed parties are at large
but unarmed parties are at large and
confidence is reawakening and public
tranquility growing"
The governor forces sustained fire
from the inslrrectionsts in the Guam
tanamo district Saturday, according to
a dispatch from Consul Holiday at San
tiago, but the result is not known
The consul says the sentiment of the
Cuban people seems to be to assist to
the fullest in crushing the uprising, if
no concessions are made to the negroes
in revolt. Minister Beaupre also re-
ports that rumors were current Sat
urday that an engagement had taken |
place between the government and revo-
lutionary forces but that no definite in |
formation was available.
