BAVARIAN Regent
D|ES;;9l YEARS OLD
Strong in Personality, Simple
in Tastes, Refused Title
of King.

MUNICH, Bavaria, Dec. 12.-Luit
pold, prince regent of Bavaria, dice
here today. He was 81 years old.
The prince regent had been in fail
ing health for several months ant
his death was not unexpected.
The immediate cause of Prince Luit
pold's death was bronchial catarrh
which was aggravated by the feeble
ness of old age. He passed away be

could reach his side from his estate.
in Hungary, whence he had departed
on December for Munich, when he
heard of his fathers critical con
dition.
Prince Luitpold had been compelled
to cancel all public engagements fol
some time, but he insisted until the
last moment on receiving the Bavar-
ian cabinet ministers and his personal
suite.
The death of the aged prince
has caused deep and sincere grief
throughout Europe.
Prince Luitpold was the Oldest
ruling prince in Europe in point of
years, having been born on March u,
1921. He was nine years older than
The Emperor Francis Joseph, of AUS
tria, who was born on August Is,
1880. The latter, however, has al
ready occupied the throne for sixty
four years, as he became ruler at
the age of IS. while Prince Luitpold
had been regent since June 10, 1886.
Luitpold was 65 years of age and
had lived a long and useful life as
a great German military leader, when
he was called upon in 1886 to take
the throne of Bavaria, the second
largest state in the German empire.
His call to the regency was the re-
suit of the insanity of King Ludwig
IL. and his brother, King Otto.
Like his friend, the Emperor Francis
Joseph, Luitpold cared not a fig for
The frumperies of his high position.
His mode of life was plain and
simple.
His days program was always the
same. At he devoted an hour to
business and then took a long drive
and paid calls, which were in most
cases unannounced. Returning to the
castle at II he received the state
secretaries. afterwards taking a
second and generally very hearty
breakfast. Supper almost invariably
consisted of sausage, cheese and beer,
followed by the inevitable pipe, an
animated chat, and bed by IL. The
prince always indulged in a stout
Havana cigar in bed before sleeping.
Luitpold avoided attendance at eve
ming festivities and the theatre. He
frequently explained with a smile
that he did not care to deprive him
self of his pipe during the time such
functions occupied.
Hunting was a passion with the
prince He gave 1t every hour of his
spare time, journeying all over his
Kingdom in search of various kinds
of game. The hunt that pleased him
most. however, was that of the
chamois in the Berchtesgaden noun
tains.
Even when he was in his nineties
he rarely allowed himself the luxury
of a hunting cart or a pony. During
these excursions he always gave up
his Sundays to religious observance,
holding mass in the open air amid the

SECRET WORKER
The Plan Upon Which Coffee Works.

Coffee is such a secret worker that
sickness or disease, but there is a
very sure way to find out the truth.
A lady in Memphis gives an inter-
esting experience her husband had
with coffee. 1t seems that he had
been using it for some time and was
an invalid
The physician in charge shrewdly
suspected that coffee was the worm
at the root of the tree" and ordered
it discontinued, with instructions to
use Postum regularly in it's place.
The wife says: I'VE found that was
the true remedy for his stomach and
heart trouble, and we would have
gladly paid a hundred times the
amount of the Doctors charge when
We found how wise his judgment
was.
THE use of Postum instead of cof-
fee was begun about year ago, and
It, has made my husband a strong,
well man. He has gained thirty-five
pounds in that time and his stomach
and heart trouble have all disap-
peared.
I'VE never tire of telling our friends
of the benefit we have received from
leaving off coffee and using Postum
