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.

Oliver From the Very 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. corps. Blackburn to Get Piece. The reorganisation of ihe commis sion Is to become effective Immediately upon the conArmatlon and retirement of the old commission, and Senator J. ('. 8.

The nominations of the present com mission now pending before Ihe senate Include Shonte. Stevens, Haines, Endl- cott, Herrod, Gorges and Jackson Smith and their conArmatlon Is dealrOd In order to remove all doubt as to the legality of certain acta they have per formed tn connection with the making of contract*. The retirement of Measr*. Shonte and meteiiB will leave but two vacancies, so that there will be two more retire ment e necessary to make way for three army oAtcer* and Senator Blackburn. 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.
