ALBANY, May %.—Gov. Hughes ve- toed to-day Assemblyman Dowling’s Tenement House bill. In a message to the Assembly the Governor says “This bill, despite {te more general form, i intended to except a particu- lar building from the operation ef the tenement house act. The case is one peculiar hardship to the present to be no question, however, that those who were directly concerned with its construction proceeded with full know! edge of the provisions of the tene. ment house act, and deliberately planned to disregard them. “There is no justification for this measure unless it is proposed to es- tablish the principle that the tene- ment house act will not be enforced againat innocent purchasers.” —_ IN IT TEN YEARS Am Unconscious Siave to Coffee, “I had not the slightest {dea that coffee was the cause of my continued sickness for the last ten years, until | quit its use and took up Postum Food Coffee. | never had a natural move- ment of the bowels during a number of years, because of chronic constipa tion, and I was continually taking medicine “Very frequently, just after break fast a dizziness would come on, which | would force me to lie down and re main absolutely quiet until relief came.
