SCHOOL TEACHERS.
Also Have Things to Learn.

For many years 1 had used coffee
and refused to be convinced of its bad
effect upon the human system" writes
a veteran school teacher
Ten years ago l was obliged to
give up my much-loved work in the
public schools after years of continu-
Gus labor. L had developed a we'll de-
lined case of chronic coffee poisoning.
The troubles were constipation,
flutterings of the heart, a humping
in the top of my head, and various
parts of my body, twitching of my
limbs, shaking of my head and, at
times after exertion, a general gone"
feeling, with a toper's desire for very
strong coffee. / was a nervous wreck
for years.
"A short time ago friends came to
visit US and they brought package
of Postum with them, and urged me
to try it. l was prejudiced because
some years back | had drunk a cup of
weak, tasteless stuff called Postum
which 1 did not like at all.
This time, however my friends
made the Postum according to direc-
lions on the package. and it won me.
Soon 1 found myself improving in a
most decided fashion.
The odor of boiling coffee no long
er tempts me. / am SO greatly bene-
flied by Postum that if 1 continue to
improve as 1 am now, III begin to
think 1 have found the Fountain of

Postum now comes in two forms:

REQUEST FOR $1,125,0O0,0OO
AND A MILLION SOLDIERS

London, Nov IL. 9,oS p. M.-The
meeting of the House of Comons to-
day was entirely devoted to war meas
ures and without partisan politics.
Premier Asquith requested a vote for
225, 100000 pounds Isl ,00O,000 and
another million soldiers, both of which
the House granted without a dissent
ing vote The condition and morals of
the soldiers, the inevitable spy sys-
tenn and the press censorship were
discussed freely.
The prime minister characterized
the crisis the greatest emergency in
which the country has ever been
placed He said there were already I'M
der arms ,2000 900 men: that the war
was costing nearly 100000 per day
and that the government proposed to
lend Belgium $50, 000,0 and Servia s4,-
O0. 600, without interest at the end of
the war.
Timothy Healy, the Irish National
list, said that the money should be
given to them.

Lancashire, endorsed the proposal with
the suggestion: Later on We can coll
lect it from the German Emperor

ANY VIEW TO interference

Bryan issued a statement today de-
claring that the United States in MAX
ing inquiries of it's ministers in Ecua-
dor and Colombia for information re-
garding alleged violation of neutrality
had not thought of interfering in the
remotest way with the governments of
the Latin AInerican countries"
Also Mr.. Bryan gave out, in behalf
of the Colombian delegation state
ment reeiting the efforts of the Co.
lombian government to censor wireless
stations. The first statement said;
mo request for interference has
been made by either Great Britain or
France. 1t would seem as if at a time
like this the newspapers of this coun-
try would endeavor to assist the gov
eminent instead of attempting to en-
barrass it by misinterpretation and
inexcusable misconstruction of what
it does
The second statement said:

en- to the state department the fol-
lowing information with permission to
make ii public:

PLANNING FOR
WIDER FIELD
or RESERVE
OPERATIONS

Washington, Nov. 16.-Although the
business today, the Federal Reserve
Board already has before it plans for
widening their field OF operations and
increasing their store of cash.
kilograms began to reach the treas
ury department shortly after Secre-
tary McAdoo issued his formal an
to the banks to open their
doors They continued to arrive all
day long, Governors and Federal Re-
serve agents of all the banks tele-
graphing their congratulations and
their promises of cooperation in maxi
ing the system a success. No definite
data of the business done was avail
able tonight, but Secretary Willis
telegraphed each bank for an account
of its re-dscount business for the day
and expected to be able to lay re-
port before the board tomorrow
The board may not be willing to
draw any definite plans from one
days business, but the first week may
have a material effect and may result
in augmenting the cash of the banks
by more than $150,000, 900.
The board has under consideration
the deposit of a large part of the
loose cash now in the treasury and
the transfer of most of the govern
ment funds now deposited in national
banks Secretary McAdoo has power
to make these changes. but so far
has not reached a decision. If the first
weeks re-discount business shows
that the reserve banks can use more
cash, however, the board probably will
suggest the adoption of the plan. 1t
has been reported to the board that
there is about $100,000,000 in the treas
ury available for this purpose and that
about s64 900, 900 of the $79,000,000 now
in banks on deposit for the govern
ment could be transferred.
The postoffice department has sent
notice to all postmasters that no post
al savings funds shall be deposited in
banks which are not members of the
federal reserve system and instruct
ing them to discontinue deposits in
such non-member banks at once.

PROTEST
GERMAN ACTS

London, Nov. 16.-G.49 a. MA
Times dispatch from Copenhagen
says:
'Advices from Posen indicate that
there is much disaffection among the
Poles in the eastern provinces of Ger
many. The Poles complain that the
Germans are neglecting the frontier
because most of the inhabitants are
Slavs. They declare that the Germans
themselves are laying waste the from
tier, in order to delay the Russians.
They protest that Poles are put in
the front of the battle line as cannon
fodder. The Germans on the other
hand accuse the Poles of helping the
Russians by espionage.
The Germans are concentrating
great armies at Thorn, Posen and
Breslau, and plan to fight desperately
to prevent the Russian occupation of
the important parts of Silesia and
Posen. Only the utmost need will per-
suade the Germans to send any troops
back to the western front at present.

with full rights of inspection and CEN
sorship in case of war.
Complaints having been made by
tie British legation that the office
was not in the hands of a characteriz-
ed expert, the station was closed. Aft
erward the Colombian government
employed professional expert and
opened the station.
Further complaint having been
made against the employment of
aliens all foreign employees were dis
missed and since that time it has been
handled by the government expert.
Later, a complaint has been made on
the ground that plain words and
phrases may be used with a conven-
tional and secret meaning, but the CO.
lombian government has not felt that
this was a sufficient reason for clos
ing the station to commercial use.
Upon information received from the
British legation that it feared that
the Germans might be hidden in Uraba
and using occult stations, the govern
ment made Investigations and found
an abandoned ship with wireless appa-
ratus out of use. A special official was
sent to bring back the apparatus and
the British government rendered It's
