DISAPPEARED
Coffee Ais Vanish Before Postum.

1t seems almost too good to be
true, the way headache, nervousness,
insomnia, and many other obscure
troubles vanish when coffee Is dis
missed and Postum used as the regu-
lar table beverage.
The reason is clear. Coffee con-
tains a poisonous drug-caffeine-
which causes the trouble, but Postum
contains only the food elements in

In order to secure a firm and en-

its duty to give the advice to the i'm
perjal German government to carry
out the following two propositions:
First, to withdraw Immediately
from Japanese and Chinese waters
German men OF war and armed YES
sells of all kinds and to disarm at once
those which can not be so withdrawn.
Second, to deliver on a date not
later than September Is to the i'm
perial Japanese government without
condition or compensation the entire
leased territory of Kiau Chau.
The imperial Japanese govern.
ment announces at the same time that
in the event OF it not receiving BY
noon on August %, 1914, an answer
from the im rial German govern
ment signify4ng its unconditional &C
ceptance of the above advice offered
by the imperial Japanese government.
Japan will be compelled to take such
action as she may deem necessary"
