no trace Of the foot, and the wooden
core had nearly crumbled away. The

Why Pay
the Penalty OF
Lying Awake?

MANY people spend hours at
N1 night, restlessly tossing from
side to side, waiting for sleep. All
because they drink coffee with their
evening meal.
If the caffeine in coffee irritates
your nervous system and keeps you
awake when you should be asleep,
recuperating your energies, why not
stop coffee and drink Postum?
Postum is pure cereal beverage,
absolutely free from caffeine or any
thing that can disturb health and COM
fort. Many prefer Postum for its de-
ightful aroma and flavor.
1t you want to know the truth,
change TO Postum for a month or SO.
and see how much better you will
sleep and feel.

Mexican claims convention was rati-
fed by the Mexican senate yesterday
after a compromise between the ma
jority and minority blocs. The mi
nority had refused persistently to form a
quorum and permit the matter to be

In the final compromise the minor
ity's objections were reduced consid-
erably, and the foreign relations COM
mission in return made certain con-
cessions, amending its report to make
it acceptable to the minority.
In the final draft the report pro-
vides that neither article nor any
other of the general claims conven-
tion signed by the United States and
the general constitution, nor espe-
cially to article 81 (the agrarian law
of Mexico). And, bearing in mind

sured the continuance of It's agrarian
