SWEET BREATH ‘When Coffee Is Left Off. - A test was made to find If just the leaving off of coffee alone would produce er equal condition of health as when cof- fee is left off and Postum Food Coffee used in its place. A man from Clinton, Wis., made the ex- | periment. He says: “About a year ago I left off drinking coffee and tea and begun to use Postum. For several years pre- my system had been in wretched jon. I always had a thickly furred, | bilious tongue and foul breath often ac- companied with severe headaches. I was troubled all the time with chronic con- ation so that I was morose in dispo- n and almost discouraged. t the end of the first week after making the change from coffee to Pos- tum I witnessed a marvelous change in myself. My once coated tongue cleared off, my small appetite increased, breath became sweet and the headaches ceased entirely. One thing I wish to state em- phatically, you have in Postum a virgin remedy for conmstipation, for I certainly had about the worst case ever known among mortals, and I am completely cured of it. I feel in every way like a new person. “During the last summer I concluded that I would experiment to see If the Postum kept me in good shape or whether I hed got well from Just leaving off coffee. So I quit Postum for wquite a time and drank covoa and water. I found out, before two weeks were past, that something was wrong, and I began to get costive as of old.

S DEATH ENDS DELIRIUM OF OVERWORKED STUDENT Miss Louise M. Garland of the State University Passes Away at a Livermore Sanitarium. | | | YOUNG STUDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WHO DIED AS RESULT OF OVERWORK. o+ < ERKELEY, April 18.—Miss Louise M. Garland, the University of California student who was taken with vioient delirium from over- stedy a few weeks ago in th city, died yesterday afternoon at a Liver- more sanitarium. She had been removed Lo there immediately after the attack, but she sank continually and remained deli- rious to the end. The flag at the univer- sity was lowered to-day to half-mast in respect to her memory. Miss Garland had a record as a bright student and a hard’ worker. As a mem- ber of the college of letters she was con- tinually poring over the ancient classics, and to this constant mental effort is cred- ited the breaking down of her brain and her final death. While here she lived with Mrs. C. E. Atkinson at 231§ Allston way. When her iliness first came upon her she became so violent that other studencs residing in the same place were compelled to hold her. rium with the thought that her insanity would leave her as soon as her mind was free from her studies. Miss Garland was the daughter of R. H. Garland of Redlands. She would have graduated next month but for her fatal fliness. The body will be shipped to Red- lands for interment.

COLON, Colombia, April 18.—A thou- sand Government troops from the depart- ment of Santander reached Colon last night by way of Barranquilla on board and the Colombian gunboat General Pin- zon. They are under the' command of General Louls Morales Merti. At Bar- ranquilla he has 20,000 additional soldiers ready to send to the isthmus at the first opportunity. The Government is now able, owing to the defeat of the insur- gents in the Interior of the country, to #end any necessary reinforcements to the isthmus to put an end to the insurrection in the department of Panama. The Gov- ernment is also receiving large sums of money from Bogota, Antioquia, Barran- quilla and Cauca to meet the necessary War expenses. A strong expedition under General Gomez, the military Governor of Colon, left here at noon to-day for del Toro, on_board the Govermment gunboat General Pinzon.

Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, April 18. William G. Henshaw and A. S. Macdon. ald of this city admit that they have, in combination with W. A. Bissell, pur- chased the street rallroad system of Stockton. They say that the purchase was made for themselves and that they are not acting for any other company or syndicate. Despite the fact that Bissell is connected with the Santa Fe Raliroad, the purchase, they say, has nothing to do | with that corporation. William G. Hen- shaw is the president of the Union Sav- ings Bank of this city and has been con- nected with all’ of the railroad deals of the Oakland Transit Company. Henshaw was a large stockholder in the Oakland Transit Company, ahd it was through him that the transit company finally secured possession of the Haywards system, that gave the transit company complete con- trol of the Oakland railroads, so that Henshaw is no stranger to these rallroad deals. Macdonald is well known in rall- road and financial circles. He secured the rights of way for the Santa Fe from Stockton to Point Richmond, and has been intimately connected with many of the big deals at Point Richmond. In company with Henshaw, Macdonald secured a series of franchises from Point Richmohd to the Alameda County iine, which franchises are now in the posses. slon of the Oakland Transit Company.

NELSON The Founder of Utopian Town Honored Guest of Sccialists, Says Trades Union Movement Is Not End of Fight for Reform. y Oakland Office San Francisco Cail, 1118 Broadway, April 18. N. O. Nelson, founder of a Utopian town in Illinois, just across the Missis- sippi River from St. Louis, was given a dinner by the Ruskin Club this evening {at the Hotel Metropole. Mr. Nelson is here on a visit that mixes pleasure with business and as he is an out-and-out So- clalist he is being received by scclalistic bodies wherever he goes. ‘While the dinner was given In his honor there were other prominent guests pres- ent, among them Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco, the Rev. B. Fay Mills, the Rev. George Fuller, Professor Walter T, Milis, Robert S. Knight, John Henry Dickman Jr., Joshua P. Garlick, M. V. Roark, Ar- thur C. Gutterson and Herman Lesser. The round-table after the dessert was| led by A. A. Dennison on the subject “Spots on the Urn.” The origin and cure of existing social evils were elaborately analyzed, Mr. Nelson, Mayor Schmitz and the other guests entering enthusiasticaliy |into the spirit of the discussion. After | | dinner Mr. Nelson was Invited to tali ! about trades unionism and the capitalist. His auditors thought he/ was going to in- clude a description of Le Claire, the Illi- nois town that he is responsible for, but he didn’t say a word about |t. | He might have told how Le Claire is a | place of unmixed happiness, where the | people live in almost perfect equality and i share in the government and prom-shar-| | Ing of their employer, but he left that all for next Sunday evening when he will address the congregation of the First! | Unitarian Church on_the subject. | " “The trades union movement,” he said, “while general and beneficial, is not the She was sent to the sanita- | It stands at the head | ultimate end of this fight for social re- | form by any means. My experience with | trades unionists and also my observation | is that they don’t make unreasonable de- | mands and that eventually socialization in the means of manufacture and distri- bution will be the resuit of their pioneer- ing. ! gln regard to the New Zealand plan of arbitration I think some of the provisions | are a littje harsh, but these will adjust | themselves after a while. It is my opin- | jon that trades unions are a form of co- | operation. We had to have them before | we could come to a realizing sense of the | strength that lies in unification. “As an employer of labor I have seen a | great deal to convince me that there are | irreconcilable differences between the em- ployer and emplove. 1 don’t think these can ever be fully bridged, but it seems | to me that there must be some way by which the breach can be kept narrow. This will come throuzh a more ready sympathy between the two conditions and 1 ;he co-operation that socialism werks | or.” Mayor Schmitz said that he could not see how it was possible t. wholly elimin- | ate capital as a force in the world. He| | believed It to be necessary to make the world go round. He advised the working- | men to stand together. The greatest enemy of the working- | man,” he said, “is the political boss—the political demagogue—and you want to steer clear of him if you ever hope to reg- ulate capital.” The members of the Ruskin Club pres- ent were Austin _Lewis, Jack London, Halvor Hauch, Felix Peano, John L. Burnside, A. H. Sutherland,A. A. Den- nison, J. .George Smith, Frederick I, Bamford and H. S. Walker.

NEW YORK, April 18.—The Evening Post printed a statement to-day that light had been thrown on the motive which led to a settlement of the Leuisville and Nashville siuation. The Post said: The Gates pool appears to have secured a majority of the $50,000,000 of stock of the Louisville, and if it saw fit it could have squeezed the shorts. + Gates walked into the offices of J.
