Whether dreams are the result of things we have thought about the day previous, or to something we have eat en Is sometimes a question hard to an- f Penna. woman haa noticed that horrible dreamt came from Qte excea. elve use of coffee. She writes: 'For 20 years I've been drinking cot fee and have been troubled mrfre or less with nervous headaches, shortness of breath, horrible dreams and palpi tation of the heart. The doctor said I would have to give up coffee—said I had what Is call ed ‘cofree heart.’ I would try to stop It, only to begin again worse than ever. •'One day I read an advertisement about Postum and decided to try tt. The effect was simply jronderfut. I quit coffee and each day I drank Pos tum and In a week 1 began t* grow stronger anil leas nervous. This kept on until now I feel like an entirely different woman. To my friends who ask me what has brought about such a change In so short a time, I say ’It s 'have now been UBlng Postum for two and a half months and have not the least desire for coffee.

Hi said It was better to trust the DeinO' cratlc principles to the Democratic par ty than to trust them to one man whose party denounces him for following them. Used Damooratlo Platform. He praised Mr. Roosevelt for bring ing peace between Russia and Japan, and said he applauded the president for settling the coal strike, which, he- said, had cost employers, employees and the public $99,000,000. “But,” continued Mr. Bryan, “where did he get the doctrine? In the Re publican platform? No. He got It from the Democratic platform and I wrote the plank myself. If he could gain popularity by settling one strike, that cost 899,000,000, why ought not our party have some credit for pro posing a plan which. If put Into a law, would have made the strike unneces sary? Why hasn't the Republican par ty followed It up by making a national law that will make It unnecessary for a man to starve his wife and children In order to get Justice? As to the Railroads. "If the president pan become the only popular man In the Republican party because he does something spas modically along Democratic lines, what should be the popularity of the man who does something and has always been a Democrat? Where did Mr. Roosevelt find hjs mandate for his ac tion regarding the rate bill? He had to go to the Democratic platform. The most Important part of the Elkins bill Is the penitentiary sentence for Its vio lation. ••The railroads have been the most corrupting Influence In politics In the past twenty years. By the use of passes they have packed conventions, This law was suggested by tho Demo cratic party. I shall soon have occa sion to talk on railroads again, but I want to Impress It upon you that the railroad question solution was th* product of the Democratic party. "The president has now been In of fice almost five years. How many trust magnates are In the penitentiary? We have a great many trusts In this coun try violating the law. My friends. I ask you to figure out on the basts of the number of trust magnates Im prisoned during the past five years, how many generations will It take to solve the trust question?” Senator Stone to Speak. Before Mr. Bryan left for Louisville It was announced that Colonel Henry Watterson will speak, then Senator Carmack, and then Mr. Bryan will be Introduced by. Senator Stone. This causes much comment, as the ar rangement was regarded In the light of a reprimand for Colonel Watterson for his criticisms of Bryan. When this view of the matter reached the ears of those who had had a hand in the plans for the Louisville reception, It was explained that Sena tor Joe Bailey had been selected as the third speaker, but. as he found It Impossible to attend, Senator Stone DEMOCRATS OF DELAWARE DECLARE FOR W. J. BRYAN Dover, Sept. 12.—The Democratic state convention adopted a plat form which denounces the power of the trusts In ltz control of the Re publican organization, and declares that the paramount question before the people of Delaware toqay Is pure elections.
