TAFT And BARNES
UNABLE TO AGREE
Old Guard Chairman Departs for
Rochester After Disappointing
Conference with Root.

New York, April 7.-President Taft and
Chairman william Barnes. jr.. of the
Republican State committee, apparently
were more at loggerheads than ever
about the New York State platform
when the "Old Guard chief departed
for the Rochester convention tonight.
The convention. at which four Repub-
lican delegates-at-large OF the national
convention will be elected, will be held
Tuesday.
Although the President dispatched SEN
ator Elihu Root and Secretary of War
Stimson here to-day with demands that
Barnes cease opposing ironclad instruc-
tions TO the New York delegates to Chi
cago to support Taft for denomination
and eliminate from the platform con-
demnation OF issues the New York chief
personally opposes, the State chairman
remained obdurate.
So pugnacious was Barnes over the
Taft-Root attempt to force him to
change the platform which he had nurs-
ed for months that II further provoked
he gave notice that he would assume
the chairmanship OF the committee on
resolutions himself and jam 1t through
the convention. The President has asked
that Senator Root head that committee.
Unless Root and Barnes compose their
differences before Tuesday the Taft
Roosevelt contest viii be a back numbsi-
in comparison with the quarrel between
supposed ardent advocates of the Presi-
dents denomination.
Hughes rs Dark Horse.
Meantime, the Hughes dark horse spec
ter constantly appears in, the Republican
camp. And there are those who continue
to suspect that Barnes ultimately will
throw Taft overheard and employ
Hughes as a means to at least prevent
instructions for the President.
The brief outline of the two platforms
shows the root Of the trouble:

Story Of an African Romance.

A romance born under unusual cir
cumstances eliminated at the altar, in
the marriage of Miss Olive Macleod
and Charles Lindsay Temple, chief
secretary of Northern Nigeria. 1t was
while returning from Wadai, in the
heart of Central Africa, whittier she
had journeyed to place a cross on the
grave of her former fiance, Lieut.. Boyd
Alexander, a noted explorer, who was
murdered at that place by natives in
1910. that she met and was successful
1y wooed by her future husband. Dur
ing this trip Miss Macleod covered
Yearly 1000 miles, through regions
where the natives although nominally
friendly, are uncertain in temper. Fol
four months she was in territory hith
erto unknown to British travellers, and
for six months In districts where q
white woman had never before been
seen. A woman friend and her hus
band were the only other white mem
bers Of the expedition. They we're in
almost constant danger lest the na
tives turn against them, and on one
occasion one of the wilder tribes
seriously debated the proposition Of
taking the women prisoners. The party
managed to escape while the parley
was going on.

Aviation and insurance

Aviation risks have been accepted
by certain German life and accident
insurance companies, but the results
have not been encouraging. The con
ditions attending such insurance have.
consequently, been made more re
strictive.
The rates for aeronauts who use
craft lighter than air have recently
been increased, while in the case OF
craft heavier than air insurance
against death seems to have been de
clined altogether.
A Swiss insurance company doing
accident business in Germany has re
Gently abandoned policies for airmen
and air craft altogether, for even after
raising it's original rates business was
found to be improbable. One company
which had early ventured into avia
ton assurance against death recently
paid a claim of nearly $4,000 in ad'
dition to a policy covering the aero
plane, which was destroyed.

Thirteen YEARS
fUnlucky Number for Dakota Woman.

The question whether the number
"13" is really more unlucky than any
other number has never been entirely
settled.
A So. OAK woman, after thirteen
years Of misery from drinking coffee.
found a way to break the "unlucky
spell" Tea is just as injurious as cof-
fee because it contains caffeine, the
drug in coffee. She writes:
For thirteen years I have been a
nervous wreck from drinking coffee.
My liver, stomach, heart-in fact, my
whole system being actually poisoned
by it.
Last year was confined to my bed
for six months. Finally 1t dawned on
me that coffee caused the trouble.
Then I began using Postum instead of
coffee, but with little faith, as my
mind was in such condition that l
hardly knew what to do next.
Extreme nervousness and failing
eyesight caused me to lose all courage.
In about two weeks after 1 quit coffee
and began to use Postum l was able
to read and my head felt clear. I am
improving all the time and I will be a
strong, well woman yet.
1 have fooled more than one person
with a delicious cup Of Postum. Mrs.
s. wanted to know where bought my
fine coffee. I told her my grocer had

her nerves are building up fine.

never had chance to put his ideas OF

ANCIENT ROME'S WINES

named after their color, as white,
dark, and red. The white were thought
to be the thinnest and least heating;
the dark colored and sweet the most
nourishing; the red the most heat

Certain wines named Myndian, Hall
carnassian, Rhodian and Coan, we're
made with salt water. They were con-
sidered not to be intoxicating. but
to promote digestion. Two wines,
Cnidian and Adrian, were also medi-

to wine newly made, or the fresh JUICE
Of the grape. Protopum was the Juice
which runs from the grapes, without

wine and honey. Sapa was mustum

mustum reduced to half and Carenum
was the same reduced to third.
Passum was a sweet wine, prepared
from grapes that had been dried in
the sun Passum creticum, also a
sweet wine, is believed to have been
the same as the wine which our fore

GUS history The Greeks had wine
of this kind which consisted of pure
wine perfumed with odorous sub
stances The Romans had wine
similarly named, which is supposed to
have been wine mingled with myrrh.
1t was administered to those who
were about to suffer torture in order
to intoxicate them, and to remove The
sense of suffering.
These ancient wines retained their
place probably to the end of the Mid.
die Ages, but there is no reliable evil
dence bearing upon this point. Very
slowly the names, rather than the
wines, changed generally. The an.

less charged with alcohol than the
wines Of the present day. Even Main.
