Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Jan. 5.-The probable
location of the new postofiice site now
that it has been decided to transfer
the original site TO Delaware College
is causing much speculation among
citizens The government appro-
priated $4,000 for the purchase Of a
site several years ago The property
on the northeast corner OF Delaware
avenue and Depot Road was pur-
chased for this amount Later the
college bought all the other property
on that side OF Depot Road from Main
street TO the Women's College. 1t
was then decided that under the cir
cumstances II would not be feasible
to erect the Office on that site As
the college desired this property TO
complete plans mapped out for pro-
posed new buildings 10 be erected in
the future IL was agreed TO transfer
the property TO the trustees with the
understanding that they pay for an
other site that will he suitable for the
postohlce and at the same time salts
/ factory to the government officials
and the town.
Tho prospects are that this OK
change Of properties will prove eN-
nensive to the college as the indica-
tions are that another suitable prop
orty can not be secured for less than
$4,000 to $4,000.

EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things Of Value.

Where II has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving Off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences Of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
MY wife was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
1--WE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take it's place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful. Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou.
BILE relieved, appetite improved and,
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration,

Postum was undoubtedly strengthen

work is due to drinking Postum in

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING INF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

If you wake up with a bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; if your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom.
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, sallow and can't get feeling
Just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, a
glass Of real hot water with a tea
spoonful Of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, sweeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning TO wash out of the
system all the previous days poison
Gus waste, gases and sour bile before
putting mor food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood, nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost t%asteless, except for a
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as.
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.-Adv.

Ell Paso. Tex. April 29.-Gen. Alvaro
Oregon, minister OF war of the de
,acto government, is in Juarez today
awaiting to confer with Major General
Scott and General Funston on the mill
tary questions that are involved in
the American punitive expedition into
Mexico. General Obregon, accompa-
MED by Ger. Jacinto Trevino, military
governor of Chihuahua; Gen. Samuel
6. Santon, Governor E%nriquez, of
Chihuahua. and President Jose De
Luz Herrera, OF Parral, reached Juarez
On a special train this morning.
Generals Scott and Funston are due
to reach here tonight when it is eN-
pected that arrangements will be made
for the first conference to be held IN
JuareZ tomorrow.
Has Pienary Powers.
General Obregon anticipated a sat
isfactory conference, and While he did
not say so, it was indicated he was
| vested with plenary powers by first
| Chief Carranza to affect an adjustment
of the military situation that now oh
tains along the Mexican border.
The Mexican minister of wal held
| several conferences today with the mill
itary and civil authorities of the de-
facto government at Chihuahua. n
which every phase Of the situation was
discussed so that the clearest presen-
tation of the Mexican proposals could
be made to Generals Scott and Funs-
ton.
General Obregon made it clear today
that the Carranza government believes
it is in a position thoroughly to police
northern Chihuahua, and that the
American troops having fulfilled thel'
announced purpose of reaklng up n
Villista bands, should withdraw to the
United States.
Has 10000 Troops.
Some 4O.0 o Carranza troops, stretch
ing from northern Sonora to eastern
Chihuahua, was General Obregon's
most potent argument that he could
meet the situation without aid from the
4 United States.
Preceding the special train of Cen
eral Obregon by an hour, was a troop
train sent in advance to protect Cen
eral Obregon's party from a possible
surprise attack from rowing bands of
Nillistas.
All Juarez turned out to make Gen
eral Obregon and his party welcome.
Under orders from General Gavira, mil
itary commander in Juarez, troops lined
both sides of CALI Concrete, from the
railroad station to the customs house,
where Obregon and his party We're es-
corted. The Juarez military band
aided in the welcome at the railroad
station, playing it's liveliest airs at the
station where scores of MeXicans gath
cred to greet the minister of war.
Given an Ovation.
Gen. Gabriel Gavira. with his staff
dressed in field uniforms, with Andres
Garcia, Mexican consul at e. Paso, Of
ficially welcomed General Obregon al
the station.
The band blew a fanfare when the
section bearing General Obregon drew
in, n the minister of war stepped
down upon the platform where the of.

him. The wal minister wore his fiel6
