Doctor Cains 20 Pounds on Postum. A physician of Wash., D. C., says of bis coffee experience: "For years I suffered with period ical headaches which grew more fr? quent until they became almost con stant So severe were they that some times I was almost frantic. I was sallow, constipated. Irritable, sleep less; my memory was poor, I trembled and my thoughts were often confused. "My wife, in her wisdom, believed coffee was responsible for these ills and urged me to drop it. I tried many times to do so, but was its slave. , "Finally wife bought a package of Postum and persuaded me to try It, but she made lt samo as ordinary coffee and I was disgusted with the taste. (I make this emphatic be cause I fear many others have had thc same experience. ) She was distressed -at her failure and we^ carefully read the directions, made it right, boiled it full 15 minutes after boiling coni .mecoiid, and with good cream and sugar, I liked it-it invigorated and seem xi to nourish me. ' "That was about a year ago. Now I hav3 no headaches, am not sallow, sleeplessness and irritability are gone, ray brain clear and my hand steady. 1 have gained 20 lbs. and feel I am a new man. "? do not hesitate to give Postum due credit. Of course dropping coffee was the main thing,but r had dropped lt- before, using chocolate, cocoa and other things to no purpose. "Postum not only seemed to act as HO invlgorant, but as an article of nourishment, giving me the needed phosphates and albumens. This is no imaginary tale. It can be substantiat ed by my wife and her slcter, who loth changed to Postum and arc hearty women of about 70.

Defeated for Governor. * . 1904-Again defeted for Gov- * . ernor. * . 1905. -Received complimentary * . vote of his party for United * . States Senate * Denver, Special.-"Gentlemen, you will have to excuse me, for I must go and buy a present for my little 15oy. I.remember that this is his birthd?y." With this plea, Johu Worth Kern, Democratic nominee for Vice-Presi dent, left an important conference of Indiana party leaders here the other day" "Well, I reckon that i? about the only political confab John Kern ever left until it was over," said ono of his fellow delegates, "and I don't suppose there is a thing on earth that could have dragged him away except some duty or pleasure for his fam ily." The pica of Mr, Kern for absent ing himself, and the comment thereon by his close personal and political friends, well illustrates the two most striking traits in the character of the man whom the Democratic party has chosen to be the running mate of William Jennings Bryan. First of all, Mr. Kern loves his family. Next he loves the swirl of politics, and over in Indiana they tell you he knows the game as he knows his alphabet. There will be hundreds of thous ands of voters asking: "Who is this man from Indiana, a man who never was in the halls of Congress in an official capacity and never had anything to do with Wash ington affairs except as the rank and file of American citizens have to Cr> with them? In his State he has never held any higher office than Su preme Court. How then, did it come that he should bc singled out to be thc team mate of the man from Ne braska, singled out from the scores of men, some of wider fame, who were mentioned as suitable for the Presidency of the United States Sen ate and as quite suitable to the Chief Magistrate in case of accident?" Probably the best answer is that Mr. Kern is, heart, mind, muscle and ?oul a Bryan Democrat, and that he can come nearer carrying Indiana for his part}', in all political probability, than any other man that coulei be named. Every delegate from the Hoosier State will tell you that when the long vhiskers of Mr. Kern shake with the fervency of his political pleading from the rostrum, every toss ing strand of them is said to lure votes from somewhere. Twice he has been the candidate in Indiana for Governor, and twice he has polled more votes by 12,000 than anjr other man on his ticket. He failed of election in 1900 and again in 1904. They were brilliant failures that have become political assets and thrust him to the fore as "the first Democrat of Indiana." With all his fine prowess as a stump speaker and vote getter, how ever, it is safe to say that Mr. Kern would not have been chosen the nom inee for the Vice-Presidency did not he fit the Bryan program and per sonnel like thc glove of the debutante. Noi; in any sense is Mr. Kern to be considered a frequenter of clubs. His social instincts do not run quite in that channel, and yet he is credited with being one of the best mixers and cleverest tellers of stories in his State. He has a keen sense of humor and enjoys the sunny side of life as much as anybody. In a cirele of friends he is nearly always conceded the floor and given sway to leae1* the convocation. He is a member of the University Club of Indianapolis. Nobody has ever discovered that he has any hobby bat politics, or any recreation but commingling with his family and friends. He does not play golf, go fishing or hunting or follow any game but that Avhich was pictur esquely played here in Denver last week. In that he is a shining light. He loves his law books and docu ments on political economy. In them he seeks the diversion which the links or Hie quarry offers to others. He is rugged neither in stature nor in health, but when it comes to cam paigning he can "make" more towns and delieverdi as many speeches in a day at; the best of them. John W. Kern was born December 20, ISiP, in Howard county, Indiana. His father, D. Jacob W. Kern, was a Virginian, who removed to Shelby county, Indiana, in 18,36, and ilved t?ere until 1846, when'he moved into the new Northern country. Mrs. Kern Sorry. Indianapolis, Special.-Airs.

I,'of course,-appre ciate the honor conferred upon Mr. Kern, but I cannot understand what conditions at Denver have arisen that woulrt cause him to accept the nomi' nation.

Events of the Closing Day. On receiving the news of his nomi nation Mr. Biyan declared that if elected he will not be a candidate for a second term. The issue is joined and the Middle, West is to be the battleground. Many Democrats fear that the at tack of Permanent Chairman Clay ton on Roosevelt will induce the Pres ident to take the stump in defense of his policies. Each Defeated Twice. Denver, Special.-The ticket is completed. Bryan has twice been de feated for the Presidency. Mr. Kern has twice been defeated for Gover nor of Indiana. In two former nat ional conventions Mr. Kern has been considered as a candidate for the Vice-Presidency, but failed of the nomination. He is a close personal friend and a supporter of Bryan, has been steadfast in the convention to Bryanism through all political ad versity. Happy at Kern's Home. Indianapolis, Special.-The nomi nation of Bryan was not received with any evidence of enthusiasm here and in this respect it was identical with the nomination of Taft, but when it was followed by the selection of Kern for vice-President, there was evidences of generous enthusiasm on the part of the Democrats, and notice able disappointment on the part of Republicans. It was generally con ceded that Kern's selection would act as an inspiration to the party in this State, and as it is conceded that Indiana will bc one of the battle ground States this year, the Demo crats were bouyant and the Republi cans correspondingly depressed . Berlin Estimate of Bryan. Berlin, By Cable.-All the newspa pers print the news of the nomination by the Democratic National Conven tion at Denver of W. J. Bryan for the Presidenoy of the United States, but most of them without comment. The Boersen Zietung, National Lib eral, says: "Mr. Bryan upon the whole is a very sympathetic person ality. His great eloquence is due to his speaking his convictions. He id a man of weight and a magnificent agi tator, but hardly a statesman." The Morning Post, thc radical Democratic organ, says Mr. Bryan is far below the late Grover Cleveland* in states manlike capacity^ Hearst Not to Support Bryan. New York, Special - That W. J. Bryan is not to have the support of William R. Hearst is indicated by the attitucV of Mr. Hearst's two news papers, the American and the Evening Journal.

DEATH ROBS COURT Indicted Insurance Grafter ls Given Swift Call THOS. D. JORDAN'S END SUDDEN Former Comptroller of the Equitable Life Assurance Society Under In dictment For Forgery and Per jury, Drops Dead in the Wall Street Station of the Subway. New York, Special.-Thomas D. Jordan, formerly comptroller of the Equitable Life Assurance Society, dropped dead of heart (Vsease in thc Wall Street station of tho subway. His death was attended by tragic cir cumstances. Scores of persons saw hinr fall, among them Dr. F. C. Wells, a friend. Dr. Wells hurried to the side of his stricken friend, but he saw immediately that Mr. Jordan was dea V Mr. Jordan had parted from his son, Frank B. Jordan, only a moment before, and a messenger overtok the yoting man on the street and informed him of his father's .death. The son was overcome with grief. It was in the ooursc cf thc Arm strong committee insurance investi gation that Mr. Jordan's name came prominently before thc public. It was brought out then that Comptroller Jordan bad Becured loans aggregat ing $685,000 for himself and James W. Alexander, former president of the Equitable, from the Mercantile Trust Company, and that these loans ha ? been covered up on thc books of the company. This $683.000 came to be known as the "yellow fog" fund. A desire was expressed by the Armstrong committee that Jordan appear before the committee and ex plain his financial management of the Equitable, bat thc prciess servers were unable to locate Mr. Jordan. His son was called before the com mittee and asked to tell where his father wa:>. The 3'oung man said he did not know. It was after the Armstrong inves tigation hart come to a close that Jor dan put iir an appearance. It was then learned that he had been in Eu rope. As a result of thc disclosures made before the Armstrong commit tee the grand jury found eighteen indictments for forgery and one for perjury against Jordan. Only re cently Mr. Jordan appeared before Justice Goff to plead not guilty to in dictments. His trial was set for thc fall. Gompers to Support Bryan. Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., Special. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will support William J. Bryan in the coming presidential campaign. In political circles this announcement overshadowed all others, even the ar rivai of John W. Kern, the vic? presidential nominee. While Mr. Gompers' support was promised to the ticket he specifically deniert any present intention of taking the stump in the coming campaign. Reports gained currency that the labor leader would speak for Bryan but he made no such announcement. He left Fair view after 15 minutes' interview with Mr. Bryan. At present it is be lieved there will be no need for Mr. Gompers' service in an oratorical sense, and Mr. Gomners does not ex pect to be called on to speak pub licly in the campaign." X Republicans Ignored Labor. The Republican convention, Gom pers asserts, ignored the demands of labor, while the Democrats acknowl edged them in their platform. His course, he says, is clear anCi he will do what is demanded of him in thc interests of labor as best impressod in the platform adopted at Denver. As the situation is at present, Mr. Gompers' efforts can be better ex pended elsewhere than on tho ros trum. , The News of the Day.

' Washington, Special.-The July report of rural delivery, mad? pub lic hy the fourth assistant postmas ter general, shows that from 51,764 petitions referred, 15,943 adverse re ports lave been received; 39.929 toutes established-600 of vhich bave .J'rom time to time been discon tinued, leaving in operation 39.329 routes. Of this number 38,668 ren der daily service and 661 tri-weekly service. The 39,329 routes were being solv ed by 39.195 carriers. On many tri weekly routes one carrier renders the service by alternating the trips, there by earning the same pay he would re ceive if serving a daily delivery route ot' equivalent mileage. After deducting assignments for establishment of rural routes on Au gust and September 1, there will re nain for action nearly 1,500 petitions tvhioh department officers say will be dispos?e1? of os rapidly as possible. It wag recently indicated that tho exigencies of the rural service would require carriers this year to complete their leaves of absence by November Li but Assistant Postmaster General DeGraw is authority for the state ment that no change is now contem plated in the standing rule under which carriers after twelve mouths' ?ervice are entitled to flften days leave of absence with pay, "to be taken at any time during the year when postmasters can best space them." which rule, Mr. DeGraw ad ded, is essential to good administra tion, as it enables carriers on tVffi sult routes to obtain relief during periods of intense weather-hot or cold-thus enabling recuperation at limes when it is desirable, and in many eases, quite necessary from the viewpoint of health. Thaw's Petition is Postponed. New York, Special.-Justice Mills, of the Supreme Court, at White Plains, postponed until September 21st the petition of Harry K.

Ey this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing' but a solid mass of this itching disease. I purchased a bor of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then I dried him and took thc Cuticura Ointment and nnoinVod him with it. I did this every evening and jn four nights be waa entirciy cured, Mrs, Frank Donahue, 208 .Fremont St., Jiokomo, Ind., Sept, .16, 19?7;"' Tho lesg money a man makes thc more he has-if he isn't married, CUB^S AT.!, ITCHING KRTJl'TIOXa.
