DROPPED COFFEE.
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.

I hav3 no headaches, am not sallow,
sleeplessness and irritability are gone,

JOHN WORTH KERN
A SKETCH Of HIS LIFE
. .*...*.*.
. Nearly 69 Years Old. .
. December, 20, 1849-Born In *
. Alto, Howard county, Ind. *
. ? 869-Graduated from Uni- *
. verity of Michigan.. *
. 'Reporter for the Supreme
.. 1885-89-Reporter for the Su- .
. preme Court of Indiana. *
. 1892-6-State Senator. .
. 1897-1901-City Attorney; In- *
. djanapolis. .
. 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.

conditions at Denver have arisen that

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

a loss of confidence, on their part
both in the Democratic party and in
Air. Bryan.

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. ,

39,329 R. F. D. ROUTES
Department Had Now Nearly 1,500
Petitions Before lt. '
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,

White Plains the prisoner was taken

ITCHING HUMOR OM BOY.
Iiis Hands Were a Solid Mass, rind
Disease Spread All Over Body
Cured in 4 Days by Cuti eur j.
"One day we noticed that our little boy
was all broken out with itching sores. We
first noticed it on his little hands. His
hands were not as bad then, and we didn't
think anything serious would result. But
the next day we heard of the Cuticura
Remedies being so good for itching sores.
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
