"The doctor said 1 would have to give up coffee—said I had what Is call- coffee heart.’ 1 would try to stop It, only to begin again worse than ever. "One day I read an advertisement about Postum and decided to try It. The effect was simply wonderful. I quit coffee and each day I drank Pos tum and In a week I began to grow stronger and less nervous. This kept until now I feel like an entirely different woman.

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 298,000,000. "But,” continued Mr. Bryan, “where did he get the doctrine? In the Re publican platform? No. He got It I'rom the Democratic platform and I wrote the plonk myself. If he could gain popularity by settling one atrlke that cost 299,000,000, 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? At to the Railroads, • If the president can become the only popular man In the Republican party because he does something spas modlcally 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 hie mandate for his ac tion regarding the rate bill? He hod to go to the Democratic platform. The most Important part of the Elkins bill the penitentiary eentence for Its vio lation. "The railroads have been the moot corrupting Influence In politics In the past twenty years. By the use of passes they have packed conventions. This law was suggested by the Demo cratlc party. I shall soon have occa sion to talk on railroads again, but I went to Impress It upon you that the railroad question solution was the product of the Democratic party. "The president has now been In of lice 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. : ask you to figure out on the basis of the number of trust magnates Im prisoned during the past five years, how many generations will It take to solve the trust question 7“ 8enstor Stone to 8peak. Before Mr. Bryan left for Louisville was announced that Colonel Henry Watteraon will speak, then Senator Carmack, and then Mr. Bryan will be Introduced by Senator Stdne.

Dover, Sept. 12.—The Democratic state convention adopted a plati form which denounces the power of the trusts In Its control of the Re publican organisation, and declares that the paramount question before the people of Delaware today Is pure elections.
