The Best Proof
That Coffee Hurts
TALES THAT ARE TOLD

Il was one of the kind who wouldn't
believe that coffee was hurting me-,
says a ~. Y. woman. You just couldn't
convince me its use was connected
with the heart and stomach trouble
suffered from most all Of the time
TEA contains CAFE ne-tbe same drug
found in coffee, and is just as harmfuD.
My trouble finally got so bad I had
to live On milk and toast almost en-
tirely for three or four years. Still
] loved the coffee and wouldn't believe
it could do such damage.
What | needed was to quit coffee
and take nourfshment in such form my
stomach could digest. / had read much
about Postum, but never thought il
would fit my case until one day / de-
cided to quit coffee and give it a trial
and make sure about II. So I got a
package and carefully followed the di-
rections.
soon l began to get better and was
able to eat carefully selected foods
without the aid of pepsin or other di-
gests and it was not long before ] was
really a new physically.
Now I am healthy, hearty and
sound, can eat anything and every
thing that comes along, and I know
this wonderful change is all due to mS
having quit coffee and got the nourish.

tive bureau. The latter at first re-
fused to pay his fare and the con-
ductor refused to move the a until
Fohs got off. After a wait of several
minutes several of the passengers be-
came impatient and pleaded with the
conductor to start. Their appeals,
however, had no effect. The conductor
explained tha. he was acting under
orders. Fohs paid his fare under pro-
test, saying that he did not wish to
cause the other passengers inconve-
nience. This was at Eighteenth avenue
and Bergen street.
Unless the orders are rescinded by
the officials of the trolley company
there are likely to be frequent delays
through the city. as the detectives and
plainclothesmen insist that they have
every right to ride free under the new
law. This law, however, is said to be
unconstitutional by the legal depart
ment of the Public Service, and until
the matter is decided by the court
they will refuse free passage to police
ment not in uniform.
Lieutenant James Meehan, of the
detective bureau. who is chairman of
the committee of detectives having this
matter in charge, said today that it
was not the purpose of the plain
clothesmen of the department to cause
any inconvenience or annoyance to
other passengers.
1.-The Public Service Corporation is
taking an unfair advantage" he con-
tinued, lin making other trolley pass
engers suffer by long delays by hold
ing UP cars. The only means by which
we can force he trolley company to
abide by this law is to board the cars
and refuse to pay fare. This we WILL
continue to do. irrespective of any
further orders that might be issued by
the trolley company"

Crew Criticised.
There was some criticism among the
survivors here today Of the Titanic

"The crew of the Titanic was a new
! one, of course" declares Mrs. George
N. Stone, of Cincinnati, and had
never been through a lifeboat drill or
any training in the rudiments of
launching, manning and equipping the
boats. Scores of lives were thus ruth
lessly wasted, a sacrifice to inefficiency
Had there peer any sea running in

admitted that there had been no boat
drills and that the lifeboats were poorly

of the crew realized at the start Of the
trouble that we were unorganized. and,
although every man did his best. we
were hindered in getting the best re
suits because we couldn't pull together.
There had not been a single boat drill
on the Titanic. The only time we were
brought together was when we were
mustered for roll-call about 8 O'Clock on
the morning we sailed. From Wednes-
day noon until Sunday nearly five days
passed, but there was no boat drill"

PARIS, July cit has been given to
quite a number of distinguished men to
read obituary notices OF themselves aft
er their supposed death. but compare
lively few people can boast that they
have attended their own funerals.
The story Of how one man accom-
plished this remarkable feat a week or
two ago when an clubhouse on Maitre
Roberts farm was burned down at
Courmont. near Caen, is being told. Five
appeared, and his dog. Ravissante,
howled without stopping for the most
part Of "a hours IL interested Cour-
mont, for this was the third recent
outrage on Maitre Roberts land. Maitre
Robert was unpopular. for he was a
rich man. He had quarreled with Pierre
Rotin some time ago about the price OF
some iron. Rotin was not very bright
and was the butt If COurmOnt. The
Courmontais had a kindly feeling for
him all the same. and IL they had be-
lieved Pierre ROtin had burned the
farmers clubhouse down they would
have punished him themselves instead
OF laying information.
The Courtmontais. however, did not
believe that Pierre had burned the OUT
house. and that was why IL seemed the
best Of jokes TO some Of the younger
men to pretend to Pierre that they were
sure he had done IL. Pierre used to lull
his wits even more with eau-de-die de
cidre, which is a very potent BRAIN
killer. and for some hours after Maitre
Roberts misfortune the young men or
Courmont piled him with IL to an alarm
ing extent
Something happened to that idiot or

Ravissante howled all night and refused
her food all day. and Pierre no longer

GERMANY is BUILDING
WORLDS LARGEST NAVY

BERLIN. July 1S.-The effect Of
Russias gigantic new naval program
(S6S0, 100000 is to be spent in five
years. on German naval policy is at
tracing widespread attention in the
German press.
Count Reventlow in the Deutsche
Tageszeitung says: From a military
standpoint the rise of such a colossal
naval power in the Baltic cannot, OF
course be overlooked. From the Ger
man standpoint, however, it must be
remembered that relations between the
German and Russian empires have been
continuously good. and appear to be
based on mutual confidence. IT is, in
deed, within the range of possibility
that they will take a still more posi-
tive form in the future. The Russian
fleet is only in the first stages OF It's
restoration. When it is completed the
international situation may be such
that a Russia strong at sea will be
useful and desirable for Germany. NO
matter what the future may bring
forth, we shall. as before, allow anx-
iety over foreign naval expansion to be
the traditional speciality Of the Eng
lish.'

MANIAC CHAINED TO
DECK THREATENS CREW

PENSACOLA, Fla, July 13.-When
the British steamer August Belmont en-
tered port here today, one of the crew
chained to the deck. a raving maniac,
was the first sight that greeted the Gus
tom officers as they boarded the vessel.
The man is violently insane, and his
mania is to kill the captain and many
OF the crew. He became insane on his
voyage over. He was handcuffed, but
broke them.
A Yale had no better effect, for he
picked that lock, and then ii became
necessary 70 chain him to the deck,
both hands and feet The captain wants
to send the man ashore and have him
sent TO the insane asylum, but the state
authorities have thus far refused to
act, although the papers of the ship
show that he signed as an American
citizen.
