I would try to stop It, only to begin again worse than ever. "One day I rend an advertisement about Postum and decided to try It. The cfTect was simply wonderful. I quit cofTee and each day I drank Pos turn and In a week I began to grow stronger and less 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 Postum.' _ .

St. Louis, Sept 12.—Twenty thous and persona last night heard and ap plauded the speech of William Jen nings Bryan at the Coliseum. No part of hls address was received with great er enthusiasm than that which showed he had put aside the Idea of pressing the question of government ownership of railroads. “It Is government eupervlelon which I stand for first,” he announced. “If that falls, then we must try more radi cal measures." Great Ovation for Bryan. When Mr. Bryan stepped upon the platform he was greeted with cheers, and for fully four minutes tha ovation continued. The speaker was Intro- duped by William A. Rothwell, Demo cratic national committeeman from Missouri. Mr. Bryan thanked hls hearers for their reception and then launched Into a discussion of party principles. He said It was better to trust the Demo cratic principles to the Democratic par ty than to trust them to one man whose party denounces him for following them. Used Democntie 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, hod cost employers, employees and the public (22,000,000. “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 coat (22,000,000, 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 hls wife and children In order to get Justice? As 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 hla mandate for hla ac tlon regarding the rate hill? He hod to go to the Democratic platform.
