Was ex- tremely nervous and my fage hollow and sallow. “All my friends said college live had been too much for me. After question- ing me about ‘my diet, mother gave me a cup of strong, rich coffee at breakfast, al- though formerly she had objected to the habit, but the secret came out in a few weeks when everybody began to comment on my improved looks and spirits. She said she had been steadily giving me Postum Food Coffee and I did not know it. “My color came back, much to my de- light, and 1 was fully restored to health. I will return to college without the slight- est fear of losing ground, for I know ex- actly where the trouble lies. “Mother says the first time she had Postum made no one would drink it, for it was pale and watery, but the next day she did not trust to the cook, but examin- ed the directions and made, it herself. Bhe found the cook had just let it come to the bolling point and then served it, and it was tasteless, but the beverage made according to directions, by proper boiling, is delicious and has a remarkable ‘taste for more” One cup is seldom enough for father now. “I have a young lady friend who suf- fered several years from neuralgia and headache, obtaining only temporary relief from medicines. Her sister finally per- suaded her to leave off coffee and use Postum. She is now very pronounced in her views as to coffee. Says it was the one thing responsible for her condition, for she is now well and the headaches who was ac- | be consumed upon the premises | - TRUSTEES ELECT - LERDY ANDERSON Berkeley Man Is Chosen Head of New Poly- technic School.

Frail Timbers Break During the Rochambeau Pro- cession. . —— NEW YORK, May 27.—Elvin L. Cool- idge, cjrculation, manager of the New York Commercial, was almost instantly killed and about 100 other persons wera itjured this evening by the breaking of a temporary sidewalk at Fifth avenue and Eighteenth street. Some of those injured may die. Those who fell were part of ths crowd gathered to watch the parade in| honor of the visit of the French Rocham- beau Commission to this city. Two thousand persons were on the side= walk when it gave way. They were pre- cipitated twenty feet into an excavation i for a rew building and fell on piles of building material. Considering the nature of the accident and the number of per- sons 1n it the hospital surgeons express surprise at the fact that so few received injury. Many were able to go, directly home after having their injuries treated by the ambulance surgeons. Those taken to the hospitals and who sustained the severest Injuries are: Georgs Essing, patrolman, scalp - wound and shock; James J. Kelley, detective se geant attached to Inspector Thompson's staff, scalp wound and shock, and pos- sible’ internal injuries; M. J. McManus, patrolman, three ribs broken and con- tusions; Charles Werner, contusions of body and internal injuries. Coolidge, who was Kkilled, received a | fracture of the skull. Coolidge had served on the staff of the Boston Journal and the Boston Globe, and had been con- nected with several city papers during his stay in this city. Early in the afternoon the police became suspicicus of the strength of the side- walk and a detail for hours kept the crowd from coliecting on it. But as the time for the parade to pass came near the crowd became unmanageable and in spite of force on the part of the police crowded on to the forbidden sidewalks and there larded them in the excavation. The Cor- oner ordered the arrest of Contractor Cowan, and of J. G. Miller, the sub- contractor. The accident occurred just as the head of the parade had passed the corner. The French visitors had gone past, and knew nothing of the accident until some time later. Troop C had just ridden by and the Twenty-second Regiment was passing | when the crash came. The officers in command at once gave the order to break ranks and fifty militiamen were detailed to the work of rescue. Somand L O HONORS FOR DELEGATES. Count de Rochambeau Reviews the Cadets at West Point. NEW YORK, May 27.—Count de Ro- chambeau and the cthers of the party of the French delegates, after passing most of the day in journeying to West Point and reviewing the cadets there, arrjved in this city shortly before 4 o'clock in the afternoon. They came down the Hud- son on the United States dispatch boat Dolphin. As the Dolphin steamed up to the Battery salutes were fired. A recep- tion committee met the party ,at the barge office. Lined up at the Dupont dock were one hundred bluejackets from the Gaulois, with their band, and about dou- ble that number of United States sailors from the Kearsarge and Alabama. All carried rifies and bayonets. A large crowd stood in a pouring rain and wit- nessed the debarkation, cheering the vis- itors as they proceeded to carriages, and, escorted by the military and a platoon of mounted police, were driven to the City Hall. From the sidewalks on Broadway the party was welcomed with the cheers and acclamations of thousands. Countess de Rochambeau absented herself from the procession. Arriving at the City Hall, the French- men were formally welcomed to the city by Mayor Low and President Fornes of the Board of Aldermen. Among those in the Mayor’'s room were Embassador Por- ter, former Secretary of the Interior Cor- nelius P. Bliss, former Mayor Robert A. Van Wyck and a number of city officials. As the Aldermanic committee came in the visitors were presented to the mem- bers of it and all adjourned to the Coun- cil chamber, which was crowded with city officials. The Frenchmen were presented to President Fornes, who welcomed them in behalf of the Board of Aldermen. The visitors were then shown to seats, and Mayor Low made the welcoming address. The clerk of the board then read the reso- lutions adopted by the Aldermen April 29, in which they requested the Mayor to extend the courtesies of the city to the French visitors. Following this' Embas- sador Cambon replied to the Mayor's ad- dress of welcome. Carriages were then taken and the vis- itors and Government and city officials were driven to reviewing stands, where they witnessed ihe parade of the New York National Guard and the American and French sallors from the warships. The reviewing stand had been erected in Madison-square Park, on the Fifth-ave- nue side. It was prettily decorated and sfirrounding it were detachments of the Veteran Artillery Corps of 1812. An im- mense throng had gathered in the park as the detachments of sailors from the French warship Gaulais and the vessels composing the American squadron march- ed up Fifth avenue and took positions facing the platform. Next came the mem- bers of the Rochambeau mission, Em- bassador Cambon and his suite, = the French naval and army officials, the rep- resentatives of the French Consulate here, Mayor Low, Controller Grout, the members of the Board of Aldermen and ogher city officials. After Count Rochambeau, Vice Admiral Fournier, Generals Brugere and De Cha- lendar and Embassador Cambon had ta- ken positions on each side of Mayor Low under the canopy at the front of the stand, Major General Roe and his staff rode past at the head of the parade of the citizen soldiery of New York City. The brigade officers followed next with Squadrons A and C close behind. The dif- ferent regiments in the First Brigade, led by the Twenty-second, followed one after another in rapid marching order. Then came the Second Brigade and the naval militia. The parade was an hour and a half in passing the stand, and 35,000 men took part in it. Count Rochambeau ex- pressed himself as highly pleased with the display made by the citizen soldfery. The French delegates were the guests of honor to-night at a banquet given at the Waldorf-Astoria by members of the Order of the Cincinnatl in commemora- tion of the victories of the American and French forces in the War of Independ- ence and of the institution of the order. Toward the close of the banquet General de Chalendar was seized with faintness and was escorted from the hall. Some alarm was felt, but the general soon re- vived and declared that he was merely overcome hv the fatigue of the day.

LOS ANGELES, May 27.—Justus Goebel of Covington, Ky., brother of the late Governor of that State, is here for a brief visit. Accompanying Mr. Goebel is Dr. Wilfred G. Fralick, an eminent New York surgeon, whose intravenous infusiof meth- od for arresting the progress of tubercu- losis has created a_medical sensation. Dr. Iralick will not discuss his method for newspaper publication, but Mr. Goebel, who has benefited from the treatment, is loud in his praise of the efficacy of the Fralick theory. Dr. Fralick’s method was tried in Phoe- nix about two weeks ago and the ex- periment, the first attempted outside of New York City, is said to have been suc- cessful in all details. Mr. Goebel says Dr. Fralick introduces a fluid directly into the blood channels by opening a vein. From four to twenty ounces of the fluid is introduced in every infusion, the injections being given from three 10 eight weeks apart, depending upon the case that is being treated. There is ne discomfort in taking the treatment. 11t is claimed that the first contact will destroy remove them completely. Mr. Goebel declares the Fralick discov- ery to be the greatest of the age, ranking n} importance with Harvey's discovery of the circulation of the blood. When cer- tain details are known, Dr. Fralick will give his formula to the world. Six to eight treatments are accorded each case, although patients have been discharged as cured after three treatments, results the germs and the second wii | obtained in the severe winter climate of New York. Dr. Fralick may conduct experiments in Los Angeles. He came here at the urgent solicitation of persons of prominence who desire him to labor in this city for a time. If agreeable to the regular medical pro- fession, the doctor may comply with these requests. 8 Euthusiastic citizens of Phoenix have offered to build and equip for Dr. Fralick a sanitarium that is to be the most com- plete institution of its kind in the world.
