Reason !?

TN thousands Of homes where one or more Of
J. the family are nervous and irritable, the
cause may be hdden-hard to understand.
But usually, There's Reason"
Doctors and dietitians are very generally
agreed that people who are nervous or suffer
with digestive disturbances should not drink
coffee or tea because these beverages contain
drug, caffeine, and their use tends to increase
nervous irritability.
Many Of us just drift into wrong habits Of
eating and drinking, though we usually know
better. So if there are nervous ones in your
family, suppose you make ehange-serve
Postum for thirty days.
Postum is a pure cereal beverage. 1t furnishes
all the pleasure Of hot drink-cheery warmth
and good flavor. Postum is refreshing, satisfy
ing healthful; and there's nothing in all the
world quite SO effective as heath to overcome
nervousness and make life worth while.

MRS. HARDING LEADING LIFE
OF RECLUSE IN WASHINGTON

Dupont had the place arranged for
himself in. the expectation that he
was to serve another term in the
senate. The contrary political winds
of 1922, however left him stranded
on the shoals of defeat and since
then he has been but seldom in
Washington.
Much of Mrs. Harding's CORE
spondence has to do with the Har-
ding memorial association which
was organized in. Marion and has
spread to the entire nation. Mrs.
Harding naturally is interested in
the contamination OF plans which
represent a rather prOdigious under
taking.
Seeing so few persons and talking
mostly with old friends, Mrs. Har-
ding seldom enters into any discus
sion of the current phases of Wash
ington life. Yet as the wife of the
president she took the keenest and
livelest interest in all public af-
fairs. It often was said of her that
she was better politician in many
ways than was her husband. Dur
ing the campaign she was always
at Senator Harding side and though
her health always has been more
or less frail, no part Of the cleo
pioneering was too strenuous or too
fatiguing for her.
What Mrs. Harding has lacked In
physical strength she has more than
made up in will power. 1t is this will
which is enabling her now to carry
on" in the most secluded life her
active brain has ever known.

Many EIjgibIes Suggested to
Coolidge = Geographical
Consideration Held to Be
of Importance

WASHINGTON, March 30.-Turn-
ing to the consideration of a sue.
cessor to Harry NJ. Dau9herty as
attorney general, President Coolidge
Saturday set about determining the
type of man he Will seek to fill the
second cabinet vacancy of his ad-
ministration.
This question first will be settled
by the president, and it almost sole
ly was considered by the chief execu-
tive today in his thought of a sue
cessor to MI. Daugherty.
The president expects to have this
worked out in his mind by Monday
and then he will turn to the list of
those he has noted down mentally
since it became evident to him that
the portfolio would have to be filled
sooner or later.
The general requirements that Mr..
Coolidge will demand are that the
man be one in whom the country
will have confidence and that he
have an unquestioned knowledge of
law and capacity for administra-
ton.
In working toward detailed quail
fications, he consulted today some
OF his closest advisers, and Judge
Frederick E. Crane, OF the New
York court of appeals.
Long List Considered
The list of those to which the
president probably will go in seek
ing a new attorney general to meet
the requirements determined upon,
is large. White House officials re-
fused to give any inkling as to those
on the list but from many sources it
was learned that it includes Score
tary Hughes, Senator Borah, of
Idaho; Harlan f. Stone, of New
York; Chief Justice Arthur P. Rugg,
of the Massachusetts supreme jul
dicial court; Judge William S. Ken
yon, of Iowa; Governor Alexander
r. Groesbeck, Of Michigan, and SEN
ator Pepper. of Pennsylvania.
There was indication that. from
such lengthy list as even this the
president would not be able to find
a man who would accept the place
or meet exa city the requirements he
is laying down. Geographical con-
sidera tons, while not considered OF
primary importance by the president,

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, March 29.-The
cotton market was quite active Tor
the short session of Saturday and
although there was selling pressure
at times. the general trend was up
ward. The high points of the day
were made near the opening with
Nav trading up to $500, July at
$50 and October at 23.71, or 5O to
Sc points above the previous close.
Later profit-taking and some short
selling forced May down to 27.6l,
July to 1851 and October to 1889,
or 20 to 80 points off from the high,
hui the close showed net gains for
the day o. 80 to 80 points on old
crop months and 10 to % points on
crop positions.
The start was extremely buoyant
IN sympathy with good cables and
stimulated by a very untaVorable
weather map. Storms were reported
from Oklahoma. Arkansas and
northern Mississippi and the wealth
Ell map showed quite general rains
in the western portion of the belt
and in the northern half of the CEN
trail belt Liverpool reported heavy
trade calling and shorts covering and
the early firmness Of the market
was auueu to by decidedly more ID
Vorable dry goods reports. Worth
Street traders wired that they be-
lieced that the turn for the better
had come in the goods market and
there was broader buying at the re-
cent cut i'll prices and exports for
the week of piecegoods had been
rather liberal.
Profit taking and evening up for
over the weekend were responsible
for the reaction from the early adj
vance and some selling was also due
to the forecast for clearer weather
In the western half of the belt. There
was also short covering, it being
reported that a good sized short line
was covered :, the local market.
Good trade buying described the eff
ferings promptly and although prices
did not rally much from the lows,
net results showed substantial gains
for the day.
Private advices indicated a grow
ing demand for spots and the Jap

a good amount to be taken out of

marked for considerable reductions
