Greatly Improved by Leaving Off Coffe«
The manager of an extensive cream- ]
ery in Wis. states that while a regu ]
lar coffee drinker, he found it injuri- !
ous to his health and a hindrance to j
the performance of his business du- j
ties.
"It impaired my digestion, gave ms
a distressing sense of fullness in the
region of the stomach, causing a most
painful and disquieting palpitation ol
the heart, and what is worse, it mud
dled my mental faculties so as to seri
ously injure my business efficiency.
"I finally concluded that something j
■would have to be done. 1 quit the use
of coffee, short off, and began to drink '
Postum. The cook didn't make it
right at first. She didn’t boll it long
enough, and I did not find it palatable j
and quit using it and went back to cof- |
fee and to the stomach trouble again. :
"Then my wife took the matter in
hand, and by following the directions
on the box, faithfully, she had me
drinking Postum for several days be
for I knew it.
“When I happened to remark that
I was feeling much better than I had
for a long time, she told me that I
had been drinking Postum, and that
accounted for it. Now we have no
coffee on our table.
“My digestion has been restored,
and with this improvement has come
relief from the oppressive sense of
fullness and palpitation of the heart
that used to bother me so. I note such
a gain in mental strength and acute
ness that I can attend to my office
work with ease and pleasure and with
out making the mistakes that were so
annoying to me while I was using
coffee.

MEETS 111 ATLANTA

ADOPTS RESOLUTION FAVOR
ING TAFT’S PEACE POLICY.
SENATOR BURTON SPEAKS
Jhio Statesman Delivered a Striking
Address to the Southern Peace
Congress.
Atlanta. —Universal peace among the
nations of the world is only a ques
tion of time.
War is a relic of barbarism: it is
no longer essential either to repel in
vasion, to achieve liberty or to fur
ther conquests.
In the light of a greater and nobler
civilization arbitration is the only ac
ceptable method for settling disputes
that inav arise in future between the
nations of the world.
Such, in brief, was tile substance ol
u striking address delivered in this
city by Senator Theodore Burton of
Ohio, chairman of the American Peace
Society, and one of the most ardent
supporter.-- ot the world-wide move
ment to secure the abolition of war
THEODORE E. BURTON.
United States Senator from Ohio.
and the substitution of arbitration in
the settlement of all differences that
may arise in future between the pow
ers of tlie earth.
It was a most unique and signifi
cant occasion when over 4,000 citi
zens of Atlanta arose with one ac
tord, following the speech of Senator
Bnrton, and unanimously adopted .i
resolution endorsing the stand which
President Taft has taken In the in
terest of arbitration, and thus put the

peace as opposed to conflict and blood
shed.

tlie auspices of the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce and the Georgia Peace
Society, it was held primarily to en
dorse the stand taken by President
Taft in promulgating a treaty of peace
between the United States, England
and France, and to lend the influence
and moral support of this city to the
general movement which has lor its

Amusement Park, Destroyed.
New York.—-Coney Island, the play
ground of New York, suffered the
w- rst fire disaster of its history.
Dreamland, the largest of the amuse
ment parks, was wiped out. and about
four blocks adjoining covered with
booths, restaurants, hotels, moving pic
ti re theaters and resorts of varied
types were destroyed.
The loss will amount to between $2,-

Rebels Attack Diaz and Party.
Vera Cruz.—General Diaz himself
took command of the Federal soldiers
who repulsed a large force of rebels,
wliUe the former president of Mex
ico was on his way from Mexico Cty
to Vera Cruz. General Diaz ordered
Uis special car to proceeded nearer
to the scene of the engagement, and
as it drew up he alighted, and with
pistol in hand ran forward to aid his
defenders. The Federal's quick ac
tion with the rapid-filers, however, had
taken the rebels by surprise and they
soon were in full retreat.
Plot to Overthrow Madero.
Eta Faso, Texas. —What is looked
on by Francisco 1 Madero as a well
laid plan to prevent his reaching Mex
ico City, to overthrow his leadership
and to start a counter revolution
against him, was revealed in the ar
•est of Daniel De Villieres of Mexico
Cty. The alleged plot involves cer
tain sums of money which were to
have been paid out to Madero’s mili-
U-y leaders. Madero, according to de
tads given out by him, was fully ad
vised of the scheme and allowed it to
be encouraged.

NO PARDON FOR BANKERS
IN CAU-3TIC OPINION PRESIDENT
SAYS MORSE AND WALSH
DESERVE SENTENCES.
President Says Rich Men Must Learn
That They Cannot Violate the
Law and Escape.
Washington.—President Taft denied
the applications lor the pardon of
Charles W. Morse of New York and
John K. Walsh of Chicago, the two
most prominent bankers ever convict
ed and sent to Federal penitentiaries
under the national banking laws.
Not only did the president refuse to
pardon either Morse or Walsh, but he
also declined, at this time, to exercise
any other sort of executive clemency
in these cases or to shorten the sen
tences imposed upon the two men.
In denying the pardons, the presi
dent took a firm stand that the na
tional hanking laws or any other laws
must be upheld when they affect the
rich man, even more than when they
affect the poor. The record in the
Walsh case, the president said in a
long opinion, "shows moral turpitude
of that insidious and dangerous kind,
to punish which the national banking
laws were especially enacted.”
In considering the case of Morse,
the president said that "from a con
sideration of the facts in each case, i
have no doubt that Morse should nave
received a' heavier sentence than
Walsh. Indeed, the methods taken
by Morse tend to show that more
keenly than Walsh did he realize tlie
evil of what he was doing.”
In his opinion in the \valsh case,
the president protested against the
failure to discriminate between legiti
mate business and improper gain.
“The truth is,” said bo, "that in
the mad rush for wealth in the last
few decades, the lines between profit
from legitimate business and improp
er gain from undue use of trust con
trol over other people’s property ami
money has some times been dimmed,
and the interest of society requires
that whenever opportunity offers,
those charged with the enforcement
of the law should emphasize the dis
tinction between the honest business
and dishonest breaches of trust."
The president's denial of the par
don applications of Morse and Wals.n
does not mean that they must stay in
prison -until the end of their terms.
Walsh began a sentence of five years
in the Leavenworth penitentiary in
January, 1910, and under the Federal
parole law, is eligible for parole next

sea .-on's cotton crop reports from cor
respondents of the Commercial-Appeal

ed to cotton in 1911 over that planted

wnmh is in round figures 35,000,uw
acres in all. Over 89 per cent, of this
area the cotton has come up to a
stand. Planting is practically complex
phteci, save in western Oklahoma,
where, if rains fall soonfi oats land
will be put in cotton.
Sea Isiand planters Form Union.
Charleston, S. C. —The South Caro
lina planters of sea island cotton
gathered here to take action to se
cure a steady and reasonable market
for the staple. It was decided to
commence the campaign for a better
marketing condition by combining
with the National Farmers' Union and
attempting to have that body co-oper
ate with the planters in marketing
their crop at a profit. President C. S.
Barrett o£ nion City, Ga., who was
present, assured the planters of the
co-operation of the national body.
Heyburn Fears Direct Election.
Washington.—Senator Borah of Ida
ho, author of the resolution providing
for the direct election of senators,
which is now the unfinished business
of the senate, announced tnat ne
would press the consideration of the
resolution without interruption to its
conclusion. Senator Heyburn of Ida
ho predicted dire consequences which
might befall the country if the direct
election amendment to the constitu
tion were made in the form and man
ner provided for in the Borah resolu
tion.

BROWNSEES COTTON FAMINE
Brown Predicts Net Only Famine in
Raw Cotton, But Also in Finish
ed Cotton Goods.
New Orleans. —VY. P. Brown, the
well-known bull leader in cotton, one
of the first to predict 16 cents for the
summer months of this season, is once
more a daily visitor on the cotton ex
change, and the gossip of the floor is
that he has an active interest in the
market. He seems to have almost
completely recovered from his recent
Illness which was the cause of his
return to his home here from New
York where, during the winter, he
was engaged in large operations in
the cotton market there.
From his utterances since he left
his sick bed, Mr. Brown has not at
all changed his attitude toward cot
ton. He is as bullish as ever. He
said: "Back in harness again and well
once more, I cannot see anything
ahead to make me feel bearish on the
old crop of cotton. There is nothing
but famine ahead, and not only fam
ine in raw cotton, but also in finished
cotton goods
TRUST SECRETS REVEALED
John W. Gates Tells How Steel Trust
Was Formed.
Washington.—John W. Gates gave
to the house "steel trust” investigat
:n« committees the history of the Unit
td States Steel Corporation.
Present at the birth of the greatest
steel manufacturing concern in the
wot id, he described how it was the
natural outcome ot what he described
as the refusal of Andrew Carnegie to
be bound by the "gentleman's agree
ments” that marked the early days
of open competition in the steel busi
ness.
He told also of millions lost anti
treated almost in a breath, how the
Carnegie mills appraised at $160,000,-
000 were recognized as worth $320,-
000,000 almost within the time requir
ed to make the transfer to the corpo
ration; the grim clash in the forma
tive days when John D. Rockefeller
was dissauded from joining in the
creation of the corporation, and the
manner in which others were prevent
ed from engaging in the steel trade.
Relating hew Carnegie had been
forced to abandon plans for extending
his steel business, Mr. Gates frankly
admitted that the gigantic industrial
combination was formed to throttle
competition, and he surprised the coni
mittee with the further information
that when John D. Rockefeller had
sought to enter the steel business a
deal had been put through by which
the Standard Oil magnate was forced
to sell out for 40 cents on the dollar.
Mr. Gates also told the committee
of the taking over of the Tennessee
Goal and Iron company by the Unit
ed States Steel corporation, during the
panic of 1907, a deal in which he was
interested a stockholder of the Tea
nescee company. This, he declared
was a forced transaction carried out
by Mr. Morgan and other financial
leaders to save from ruin the Trust
Company of America, threatened in
tlie financial upheaval because it had
'oan-eo too much money on stock ol
the Tennessee Coal and Iron com
pany.
Festal Deficit Has Vanished.
Washington.—For the first time in
the history’ of the service, it is said
the deficit in the potsoffice department
h;s been entirely wiped out and $7.
000,000 surplus for the current fiscai
year ending June 30 next in the treas
uty to the department's credit. Post
master General Hitchcock signed a
warrant returning to tne secretary ol
the treasury $3,000,00u, the fund tc
assist in defraying expenses of the
pc sta: service. Reforms in the finan
ciai system have made the refund pos
sible.
Revolution Cost $20,000,000.
New Orleans. —The Revolution ic
Mexico will hit the till of that coun
try to the tune of more than $20,000,
000 tAmerican), according to Policar
po Bonilo, former president of Hon
duras, who arrived here from Mexico
City. "It. looks as though peace will
come to Mexico,’ said he, "but 1 doubt
that it will be permanent. I fear the
hasty exit of Diaz from the presidency
will give rise to many rival ambitions
when the Mexicans find themselves re
lieved of the restraint to w’hich they
were subjected by Diaz.

Edith —What would you do if I at

Ernest —Why, I—er —would try to

Edith —Well, get ready then, I’m
going to attempt it.
GOOD WORK WELL SUPPORTED
People Are Liberal in Their Contribu
tions to Young Men’s Christian
Associations.
This year Young Men's Christian as
sociations are likely, it is said, to
break all records in amount of money
raised for new buildings. The success
at Philadelphia, when $1,030,000 was
secured in twelve days, has given
stimulus both to Young Men's and
Young Women’s associations. Added
to It was the $2,000,000 campaign for
buildings in foreign capitals. Brook
lyn women, with the aid of a few men,
have Just secured $415,000; Atlanta
men, $000,000; Reading, $217,000;
Elyria. Ohio, $127,000, where the com
mittee asked for but $100,000; Charles
ton, S. C., $150,000; Raleigh, N. C.,
$75,000; Walla Walla, Wash., $48,000,
anti Ishpeming, Mich., $22,500. Asso
ciation leaders say three things help
them ia getting these large sums:
Christian unity, a short and public ap
peal, alni real results accomplished in
buildings already erected.

Little Paul had always been taught
by bis mother that God had made him
and that he ought to be thankful that
he had been made so perfect; eyes,
ears, feet, hands and all complete.
His mother had bought a new cook
stove and Paulie was examining it.
He lifted the reservoir lid and looked
in. There was his picture, as natural
as life, in the water, but he was sore
ly troubled, while looking at It. When
asked, by his mother, what the trouble
was. he said:
"Dod might o' made me persect, but
he put my head on trooked.”

Chills and Fever
cause a great deal of distress and suffering. Miss Edna
Rutherford, of Douglassville, Tex., says: “Some years ago,
I was caught in the rain, and was taken with dumb chills
and fever. I suffered more than I can tell. I tried all the
medicines that I thought would do me any good, and had
four different doctors, but they did not help me. At last, I
tried Thedford’s Black-Draught, and 1 improved wonder
fully. Now, I feel better than I have in many months. It
is a wonderful medicine.”
Thedford’s
Black-Draught
has been uniformly successful, during more titan 70 years,
when used to relieve chills and fever, in any form. Fever
is nearly always caused by some form of poisons in your
blood. Thedford’s Black-Draught strikes at the root of the
trouble by cleansing and purifying the blood, and restoring
the system to its normal condition and efficiency. Enthu
