"I had stomach trouble, was weak and fretful so I could not attend to my housework —both of us using cof fee all the time and not realizing It waa harmful. "One morning the grocer's wife said she believed coffee was the cause of our trouble and advised Postum. I took it home rather dubious what my husband would say—he waa fond of coffee. "But I took coffee right off the table and we haven't used a cup of it since. Tou should have aeen the change In us, and now my husband never com plains of heart palpitation any more. My stomach trouble went away in two weeks after I began Postum. My chil> dren love It, and It doea them good, which cant be said of coffee. ' "A lady visited us who was usually h«if sick.

SKS.'SS.'S HU*3' JS2 0. JAMES' SPEECH IS IDE FEATURE j CHAIRMAN SOUNDS REAL KEY NOTE 6F PROGRESSIVE v DEMOCRACY. WHAT CONVENTION IS DOING Oslegates Came Prspared For a Long l and Excited Sessior^— Was Expect ed to Be Day of Climax.—Boomers Ready to Stsrt Demonstration. Convention Hall, Baltimore.—Dele gates to the democratic national con vention filed Into the convention hall Thursday prepared for a long and ex cited session. It was expected to be the climax day, the end of the long campaign waged by tbe presidential aspirants. But as they came into the hall these delegates apparently were as much at sea %s ever aa to who w.ould be the nominee. Boomers of the various candidates were ready to start demonstrations and oounter de monstrations and it seemed certain that the delays would be such as to throw the actual balloting late into the evening. All sorts of rumors were afloat as to leals and combinations during the forenoon, but not one of these seem ed to have a trustworthy foundation. The supporters of Woodrow Wilson, heartened by the 80-called Wilson' Bryan victory in their fight for abro gation of the unit rule that would have bound all the members of a state delegation to the views of a majority, were claiming that the New Jersey governor would sweep the convention and secure the nomination. They ex pressed the hope that Mr. Bryan might be Induced to come out square ly for Wilson and felt that If this could be brought about ultimate vic tory w/is pertain. The order of business as the con vention met was further consideration of the report of the committee on credentials. majority report was presented Thursday night, the minor ity findings being delayed until Friday. Then the report of the committee on permanent organisation was scheduled to be taken up with the convention ready to ratify by acclamation the choice of Senator-Elect Ollie M. James, of Kentucky, as permanent chairman. These things disposed of, the delegates looked forward to the long series of nominating and second speeches and finally to the ballot ing on the presidential candidates. Senator-Elect Ollie James' of Kentucky, who 1b permanent chair man of the national convention, in his keynote speech Thursday, spoke In part as follows: "The Republican party, flushed with many victories, Imperious as a tyrant, unheeding the demands of the people, took the reins of tber government In 1908 under the solemn promise that they would revise the tariff In the In terest of the consumer. Instead of keeping this promise as they should havo done because it was their bond of honor, they betrayed it. They rais ed the tariff higher than ever before until it reached Its maximum of pro tection, being 47 per cent. "The story of this base betrayal is known to all men. The Democratic party appealed on their record in the sixty-first Congress on the Payne-Al drich tariff bill to the American peo ple and we received from them a ver dict of guilty against the Republican party and the bestowal of power upon ourselves. How faithfully we have kept our promises to them Is but a resume of oar official action." Mr. James reviewed at great length the tariff revision legislation passed by the Democratic House and referr ed to the bills vetoed by President Taft. Referring to the veto of the wool bill, he said: "And today the wool trust stands not behind a majority of the law- Wilton Man Win Another Victory. Baltimore. —The Bryan-Wilton pro gressives won another victory in the democratic convention Thursday when the delegates overturned the report of the credentials committee and seat ed ten Wilson delegates from South Dakota. The/' Wilson supporters claimed that the nomination of Wood row Wilson was a certainty. The vote stood Wilson 639 1-2; Clark 437; not voting 6 1-2; absent two. New York's votes which went to the Clark- Harmon combination were cast in a block for Wilson deelgatei.' Renewed Talk of Bryan. Baltimore.—There was renewed talk of Mr. Bryan himself as the nominee, some of the so-called conservatives being quoted aa saying that so long as the naming of a progressive seem ed Inevitable it might be Just as well to hare Mr. Bryan lead the fight. Bome of Mr. Bryan's Mends indicated that the Nebraskan apparently was content wit hthe position he now oc cupies, the right to name the candi date being all but conceded to him. Supporters of Champ Clack are a* Bonfident aa ever. makers of the republic, but behind the veto of the* President and the eleven more than one-third of the represen tatives of the American people pick ing the pockets of the shivering poor and ragged people of America The Republican party became so arrogant and confident that this character of robbery would continue to meet the favor of the American people that they boldly wrote into their plat form of 1908 a declaration that the tariff should not only equal the differ' ence in the cost of production at home and abroad, but should be high enough in addition to this to give a profit to the manufacturer here. "President Taft has the lone and singular distinction of being the only President in the life of this republic who ever vetoed bills obeapenlng clothing to the people, lumber to the homeless and meat and bread to hun gry Americans and free farming im plements to the tolling farmer." Mr. James referred at some length to the tariff board and said: "When does a demand for a report of a tariff board come to our ears? It's when the tariff has already been fixed so high that they know, they can get it no higher and If the 'people's representatives' were allowed to speak they would reduce it. Then we are told the tariff board must report. This great right of taxation must be taken out of the hands of the people and lodged In the hands of a board of five men and theh* report must be await ed by the suffering people of the United States." Other legislation passed by the Democratic House, be pointed out, waa the income tax, publicity of campaign funds and direct election of Senators. He declared for vigorous anti-trust laws and said in part: "We are not opposed to big busi ness. We recognise that in a big cquntry there must be big business, but we say with all the emphasis of our souls that big business must obey the law. "We would strike from these trusts every character of protection. W® would write a tariff law strictly for revenue only and place the tax first upon the luxuries and if that did not produce sufficient revenue then upon the comforts of life, and lastly we wou.d lay the burden of taxation upon the necessities of life. The Infant in dustries must be weaned. Infants they began, but are mighty giants to day which have coalesced their strength—to drive skyward the cost of living and oppress the people." The latter part of the chairman's speech was devoted lo severe strio tures on President Taft's admlnlstrs* tion. Plstform Pleases Pull Committee. Baltimore. —The platform to b* adopted by the Democratic convention was under consideration during the entire day Thursday, first by Mr. Bry an and Senator O'Gorman of the reso lutions committee, later by the sub committee of eleven of which Senator Kern of Indiana Is chairman, and in the end by the full committee. Immediately after their task was assigned to them, Messrs. Bryan and O'Gorman shut themselves up In the committee room, doffed their coats and collars and continued until about 6 o'clock, when they announced that their work had been completed. The sub-committee was called in at that hour and immediately began a care ful reading of the document. Mem bers of the sub-committee found lit tle ground for criticism, all of their corrections being merely verbal. They were sufficiently satisfied with the sit uation to announce a meeting of the full committee at 10 o'clock to have that organization pass judgment upon the document. As has been announced, the plat form Is a flat and positive declaration for a tariff for revenue only, but there is no pronouncement In favor of free raw material. The tariff plank cpmes immediately after a general declare tion of Democratic principles, with which the document opens. There are strong paragraphs against monopoly. Candidates Are Named. Baltimore.—Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, and Champ Clark of Mis souri, had been put in nomination be fore the Democratic national conven tion at 12:30 a. m., Friday, and at that hour other nominating speeches were in order. There waa no Idea of reach ing a vote during Thursday night, however, an agreement having been reached to postpone the balloting until noon Friday, or possibly later. Effect of Decision on Unit Rule. Baltimore.—The effect of the demo cratic convention's action in amend ing the rule which would have bound delegations to adhere to the unit rule* was the subject of wide discussion. Though different views were express ed, the actual effect was explained by Charles Crisp, who is tfctlng as parlia mentary clerk of the convention. "The action of the convention in adopting the report of the committee on rules," said Mr. Crisp, "will be to bind to the unit rule all delegates se lected by state conventions. ———————— Dark Horse Talk Died Away. Baltimore.—"Dark horse" talk died away a little Thursday and while many candidates were mentioned, there appeared to be a consensus of opinion that the fight lay among the supporters of Wilson, Clark and Bryan. Mrs. William Taft at Convention. Baltimore. —Mrs. William H. Taft, wife of the President, was a visitor at the convention Thursday. She was entertained by Mrs. Hugh Wallace, wlf® of a delegate from the state of GHOSTS EVER BOTHER YOU 7 If So, Southern Negro Folks 8«y These Simple Precautions Chase •Em. As a part of the folklore of the ne gro folks the superstitions of slavery days are of great interest. The fol lowing are some of the negro's beliefs about ghosts: To feel a hot breath of air strike you at twilight signified the nearby presence of a ghost. Should you wish to avoid him, stop and turn your coat and trousers and hat wrong side out and the spirit cannot encounter you. If, however, he Is a pugnacious sprite and approaches despite the change, turn and address him thus: "In the name of the Lord, what do you Tjrairt?" Whereupon he will tell you hi* upon earth, then depart and never, never trouble you again. If.Trn the other hand, it Is a prowling ghost who crawls under the house, bumps against the floor, makes strange sounds, and whispers In the midnight hours, you have only to put In a new floor and he will do so no more. Some ghosts are obtrusive and will not only prowl about the house, but creep In through the crack of the door In the wee small hours of the night, and, once Inside, expand to vast pro portions. To spare yourself any dis turbance In this way, sow mustard seed all about the doorstep Just before going to bed, or plaoe a sieve on the doorstep. Before entering, the spirit will have to count all the holes In the sieve or all the mustard seeds, and by this time daylight will oome and he will have to go. As the counting for one night will not do for another you are allways safe.—Southern Workman. ALMOST FRANTIC WITH ITCHING ECZEMA "Eight years ago I got ecsema all over my hands. My lingers fairly bled and it Itched until It almost drove me frantic. Th« eruption began with Itching under the skin. It spread fast from between the fingers around the nails and all over the whole hands. I got a pair of rubber gloves In order to wash dishes. Then It spread all over the left side of my chest A fine doc tor treated the trouble two weeks, but did me no good. I cried night and day. Then I decided to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment but without much hope as I had gone so long. There was a marked change the second day, and so on until I was entirely cured. The Cutlcura Soap we have always kept In our home, and we decided after that lesson that it is a cheap soap In prioe and the very best in quality. My husband will use no other soap In his shaving mug." (Signed) Mrs. Q. A. Selby, Redonda Beach, Cal., Jan. 15, 1911.

"Muj" Is Overworked Word, The most overworked word In the Englishman's vocabulary of slang Is "Mug." As a noun It may mean a face, a fool, or a student who prefers reading to sport. As a verb Its mean ings are still more varied. It may mean to study hard, or to strike in the face. It also means to rob or swindle, and among actors to grimace or make faces. To mug up Is also, In theatrical parlance, to make up. Finally, to mug one's self Is to get drunk, the resulting condition being one of mugglness. There is more ob vious sense In this last ÜBe of the word than in some of the others, for alphouses. In the eighteenth century, were commonly known as mugbouses. Mug Is the English equivalent of the German Zug, which Mark Twain found to mean everything. A new senae of the verb "mug" In the American slang Is to photograph a face. Por Porty Years a Hermit, Isaac Sheath, who has Just died If) the workhouse at the age of seventy; eight, lived the life of a hermit for nearly forty years at Newport, Isle of Wight. He occupied a mud-hut which he erected on a piece of waste land In the village of Chale, but the hut became so dilapidated that the rural district council ordered Its de struction. Sheath was greatly exas perated by the council's Interference, and before he left for the workhouse he burned the hut to the ground.
