A New Vork City lady writes; "My
husband and '-I ware Inveterate coffee
drinkers, both of us being so very fond
of the beverage that de continued It
long after we discovered Ilia! It was
the cause of much suffering from sleep
less nights abd nervous exhaustion. We
tried to give It up. Aral by reducing
our allowance to one.cup a day; then
managed to glva It up altofethar for
a few days. Rut the craving returned
ami we went back to the coffee and
the Hlceplessnesa and nervous trouble.
"Then, reading the advertisement of
Postum Food Coffee.’ I bought a pack
age nnd began to use It. My hueband
was skeptical and refused to try It.
However, he noticed that I was sleep
ing better, and one morning declared
thnt lie envied me my sound slumber.
I told him I believed It was Postum
that was helping me. anil poured him
out a eup to taste. He drank two cups
and left Ills coffee iinlusted. and from
that time has used Postum exclusively,
and he can not praise the miraculous
power of Poslunt Food Coffee too high-
Iv. It has not only brought Us sound,
refreshing sleep, and taken away our
nervous exhaustion, but we have found
that usually all the breakfast we need
can he made on Grape-Nuts and Post
uni Food Coffee. We have been fol
lowing this simple morning diet for
some time, nnd feel the best hencAclul
results from su doing. I shall he glad
to verify these statements at any

EXPLANATION MADE

First.
• Washington. Feb. 27.—Why did John
K. Stevens resign as engineer In charge
of the Panama canal construction?
This question Is being discussed at
length today. It Is understood that
President Roosevelt was greatly eur
prised when he received notice of the
resignation, aa he thought Stevens was
perfectly satlsAed with his place. It
Is reported, however, that Stevens I
going with another big engineering en
terprlse at a salary twice aa large as
that whlrh he haa been drawing while
connected with the Panama project.
It now seems to la* the purpose of
the president to transfer, aa far as pot
slble, the responsibility for the further
construction of the canal to tha an
glneer branch of the army. With thla
end In view, he haa recommended that
Major G. W. Goethala he made chair
man of the commission and engineer In
charge of construction, with the fol
lowing aaaoclatea: Major D. dull. Gall-
lard and Major E. William L. Slbert.

upon the conArmatlon and retirement
of the old commission, and Senator J.

The nominations of the present com
mission now pending before Ihe senate
Include Shonte. Stevens, Haines, Endl-
cott, Herrod, Gorges and Jackson Smith

legality of certain acta they have per
formed tn connection with the making

Oliver's Bid Rejected.
In hla letter to the chairman of the
canal rommleelon Instructing that body
to reject the bids for the construction
of the canal, th* president stales that
the purpoee of the contract was to
secure In the building of the canal the
service* of the best, most experienced
and most skilled contractors In Ihe
it the least risk tn them and
least expense to the govern
ment. —‘r*
Thla purpose failed, he said, as the
contractors, whose personal services In
the work was what the commissioners
sought, have made arrangementi to di
vide the proAts under the percentage
bid with bankers and others to whom
the contractors have had to look for the
needed capital. So that the contractors,
who are actually to do the work, had
arranged tn accept a comparatively
■mall proportion of the proAts accruing
under the contract. The president fur
ther stated that Mr. Stevens, the chief
engineer, advised against accepting
either the 3lcArthur or Oliver bids.
since the bid of William J.
Oliver, of Knoxville, Tenn., for the
construction of the canal was given
out. and It was seen his hid of 6.76 per
cent was the lowest, rival contractors
have exerted every effort to defeat the
I of thr work on the hasla adver
tised. as It would italurully then have
gone to the Southern man.
