FOUND A WAY
To Be Clear of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit, and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
ton that he was compelled to give up
a good position that he had held for.
years. He was too sick to work. H1s
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
i told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give it up.
1T was struggle, because of the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try It
and then 1t was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew legs
frequent, his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at kst

DIARY OF FATHER TIME

Hara-kiri, suicide by disembowel-
ing, formerly practiced in Japan by
diamios and members of the military
class, is looked upon by the rising
generation as a relic of barbarism.
The act was performed either volun-
tary, to avoid surviving some per-
sonal disgrace, or by instigation OF
the Mikado In the latter case the
hara-kiri took place in the presence
of witnesses. The moment the sui
eide had ripped open his abdomen,
his head was struck off by his kaish-
ku, or second, friend of his own
rank. Japanese gentlemen were
trained to look upon the hara-kiri as
an honorable expiation of crime.
1t was customary for the Mikado,
when hara-kiri had been had been
determined on, to send the culprit
jeweled sword wherewith to operate
upon himself. This custom was put
to severe test on one occasion when

the Mikado had been previously hurt
by he words of an old and valued
servant of the crown, whose crime
was objectionable. Next day, there
fore, an official brought him the fatal
sword, with a blade inlaid with gold
and handle incrusted with dia-
monds, together with a sympathetic
intimation that his early death would
be regarded as benefit to the en-
pire in general and to the Mikado in
particular.
The culprit received the sword with
all proper respect, but as soon as the
emissary had departed, he walked
down to the quay, went on board a
steamer bound for Havre and upon
reaching Paris incontinently sold the
sword for $4,000.

 Many Ambassadors

Washington, July 23-In spite of the inaminence of the passage of new tariff law and the existence of grave foreign questions 1t developed today that of the forty nations represented here only one ambassador and eight ministers have remained in the Cap itol. The others have surrendered to the washington heat and have slipped away by ones and twos to the noun tains and the seashore. The situation is considered out. .of the ordinary, for Congress is in session and the. Presi- dent of the United States remains &C., lively at work at the White House.
 Of the ambassadors the only one remaining in Washington is Viscount Chinda whose presence here is neces- sitated by reasons of the California. alien land law controversy. The eight ministers who are sticking to their posts are representatives, with the ex- ception of the Cuban> minister, of Gen. tra1 and South American countries.

PRESIDENT MELLEN NOT MILLIONAIRE His Personal Fortune Will Not Reach Perhaps Over
 $60O,OOO NEW HAVEN ROAD HOLDINGS Would Have Been Much Better Off Had He Stayed With
 Northern Pacific
NEW HAVEN ROAD HOLDINGS

It is only natural that MT Mellen' s retirement from the New England 1 Transportation field should have called 1 out a wide variety of comment re-
 specting the size of his personal for tune and his ability to make both 1 ends meet with the loss of his official
 salary. says the Boston News Bureau. There is a. certain class of Mellen critics, par ticularly New York crit i ics, who are never wear1ed with re- pea ting stories of the size of the Nell Ter fortune. Estimates run from $1,- O00000 to $4,O00,000 and perhaps some oVer-actiYe imagination may have stretched the figures beyond the latter amount ere this.
 The Boston News Bureau is able however, to state emphatically that MT MelIen leaves the New Haven presidency a poorer man than when he entered it. Had he stayed in the west with the Northern Pacific, he would in all human probability be richer man today by several hundred
 thousand dollars.
 i. MT. MaI1en was a. tremendous believ-
 CT in Northern Pacific and was a big
 purchaser of the stock at round SEQ
 per share, where 1t was selling when he assumed control Most of this he
 Iiquidated before coming to the New Haven and at prices averaging better
 than s120 per share.
 Mir Me1len stands on the New Ha- ven books-or did a few weeks ago.
 as the owner Of 10000 shares of New Haven stock. That would represent even at these depressed market lev
 les an estate of over $1, coo, 0O0 As
 matter Of fact but 1000 shares of
 the 10000 in his name are the per eonaI property of MT. Mellen- The balance of 5000 shares is stock of var fous New Haven subsidiaries taken in course of inter company transactions His trustee interests in these shares will of course pass with the relinqutsh- ment of his official position.
 MT Mel1en has a valuable country home at Stockbridge, Mass, which is assessed for over $120,Oo0 The 4.000 shares of New Haven are practically MT ATellen's only large income pro ducing investment He owns all the New Haven he ever did and has never sold even when he saw the approach ing end of the per cent dividend rate. It would be unsafe to place the Mellen fortune, which is of income producing power, at over $6o0,O00. The Stockbridge estate can be variously valued but those with experienced know that such estates are more apt to be a liability than an asset. MT. MeIIen will not have to emulate Will liam J. Bryan but he is far from the rich man some people have pro- fessed to believe.

Kid Williams, the Baltimore bantam weight, has a right now to get into the championship class and ask match tically the ~ bantam champion of France now, having defeated Charlie Ledoux, the recognized champion of Europe, in Is rounds of fast and fur ious fighting at the Vernon arena just outside of Los Angeles. According to all reports the little F'renchman put up a remarkably good fight and never flfnchcd in the hottest of nnix-ups. The only regret is that the bout should be awarded to the Baltimore boy on a questionable blow. Ledoux went down in the hftienth round from what appeared to the referee a. clean body punch, but the Frenchman claimed 1t was a foul blow, and as he did not re- spond to the call at the end of the 1O- second count, the decision was given to Williams. It proved that Ledoux is no false alarm and that another be demanded by the F'renchma IS. manager. First, however, Williams will meet Eddie Campi, the clever coast bantam, in a return match, for the fans there believe that Tim Mo Grath's protege can o1tpoint the hus- ky Baltimore boy in a 20-round bout Then the winner will have clear sail ing for a championship match with Johnny Coulon on Labor day, provid- ing, of course, that Johnny is we'll enough by that time and in proper shape

Petty Officer Curran of Eng land put up a, great fight with Bill Lang, who is back in the game. Cur ran wanted to go back to England but finally decided to remain for four more fights. I would like to have Porky Flynn here to meet him, and it is possible that Flynn will return. The stadium at Melbourne is comp1et-' ed and seats 10000 people. The one at Brisbane is smaller, but if all goes well I will have a larger one built la ter. Hughey Mehegan, the lightweight champion, is here and matched for some good contests. Johnny Sum mers is also doing well and I hope la ter on to match him with Ray Bron- son, the Indianapolis welter weight cham pion, for the worlds title also want Jimmy C1abby back here for a number of matches as I feel that Jimmy is pretty near the middle weight champion of the world. The regular season will soon open up again and look for busy one with some very interesting matches. A first class light weight will have a great chance hete.'
