applicant whose heart is skipping beats or is fluttery is Do you use coffee The reason coffee is suspected is because the physician knows that the drug caffeine in coffee disturbs the nervous system races the heart and is responsible besides for conditions which often become serious Its a good thing to stop when one reaches the danger zone It is better still to safeguard health and avoid trouble by quitting coffee and using the famous pure food drink POSTUM This delightful beverage is made of finest wheat roasted with a little wholesome molasses and while it tastes much like mild Java coffee it contains only the nourishing goodness of the grain no coffee no drug no harmful ingredient whatever There are two forms of Postum The original Postum Cereal must be boiled Instant Postum a soluble powder is made in the cup with hot water instantly 1 Both forms are equal in flavor and cost about the same pet cbp Thousands of people have found the way to renewed health by a change from coffee to

Palestine Relief Expected Philadelphia July 5 The reorganization of the financial basis upon which the Jewish work in Palestine is founded was effected today at the closing session of the Zionist organization of America Heretofore the funds allotted for the maintenance of the Zionists work in Palestine have been inadequate for the needs of the various activities and In an effort to remove that handicap a resolution was aJopted that is expected to alter the manner of support materially The resolution provides that the men and women who give and colleol the necessary funds shall have a certain measure of authority in the distribution of those funda The future activities of Ztonlsti In the matter of war relief shall be governed by the decision of the committees designated to consider the question A commission was appointed to consider the advisability of erecting a Zionist building in New York Wilson to Speak in Detroit Monday President Wilson promised Representative Doremus yesterday he would address the Worlda Salesmanship Con gressln Detroit Monday He will leave here Sunday reach Detroit Monday morning attend a reception and start back to Washington a few hours latere 200000000 Additional Revenue Provided in Administration Bill coirrnrDra ntou fiest page tax 1107000000 estate tax 17000000 and it is estimated that the annual receipts from the State tax will amount to 84000000 when the law is in full operation munition manufacturers tax 71000000 miscellaneous taxes 2000000 Total additional receipts 197000000 Balance to be taken from general fund 69922000 Balance Largest in 1908 Fortunately the balance in the general fund June 101916 was much larger than at the end of any fiscal year since 190 After deducting 59000000 for disbursing officers balances there remained in this fund over 177000600 After deducting 69922000 from this fund as above there will still remain June SO 1117 In the general fund over 100000000 exclusive of the disbursing officers balances It is estimated that the total appropriation for ttye fiscal year ending June 3D 1917 will not exceed 179000000 This Includes 125000000 to meet the extraordinary expenses or disbursements occasioned by the Mexican situation This and any other appropriations that may be necessary to meet the abnormal and extraordinary expenses which may be Incurred on such account should be financed by bond issues as Is always done by this and all other nations under similar circumstances Points to Deductions Made lit estimating the actual disbursements It is proper to deduct the sinking fund requirements included in the permament appropriations at 0 72000 for the fiscal year 1117 and also the postal appropriations estimated at 324723000 payable from the postal revenues It is also safe to deduct as unexpended an equivalent to 5 per cent of the total estimated appropriations remaining after these deductions Deducting the sinking fund and postal appropriations and the 5 per cent of the balance as unexpended and the estimated 125000000 of bonds to finance the Mexican situation leaves 1015122000 as the amount for which It is necessary to provide revenue The estimated revenue under present laws Is 748200000 Estimated exoess of disbursements over receipts 266922000 It is probable that no other country derives as much revenue per capita from the people through consumption taxes as does the United States the report says adding that the revenue system should be mors evenly balanced and a larger portion of revenues collected from Incomes and inheritances of those deriving the most government benefit Income Tax to Bring 227000000 Receipts from the income tax under the bill are estimated at 227000000 annually The proposed estate or inheritance tax is to be levied upon transfer of

proposed munitions tax In spproval of a section of the bill imposing special duties on dyastuffs the report says the committee has decided Ilka Great Britain and Japan that this war anomaly as it affects dye stuffs can only be dealt with In a manner that under normal conditions would not be wise Justifiable or necessary gia Block Bill in Senate An unsuccessful effort was made yesterday lo pass In the Senate the House bill granting pensions to widows of all Spanish American war veterans regardless at proof of the cause of death After four hours debate the Senate voted 10 to 28 to lay the bill aslds for other business Senator Johnson of Maine led the fight for the passage and Senators Stone Smith of Georgia and Borah spoke sgainst it Senator Borah condemned the measure setting a bad precedent He argued that giving the widows of soldiers of the Spanish war a pension regardless of whether the soldiers had incurred th disease or been wounded in the service was equivalent to establishing a civil pension He said he did not believe the expansion of the pension list under such circumstances was Justified If such pensions must be given Mr Borah said he would give them only to widows who were wives Of the soldiers at the time they entered the service Says Many Did Not Leave Many bf these veterans said Senator Borah never left the United 8tates let alone saw battle or suffered hardship Yet women who married them 15 years afterward may be supported for life if say their husbands are killed in automobile accidents Senator Galllnger who favored the bill declared that he could only say that tho senator from Idaho was the bravest man in public life today Senator Thomas of Colorado suggested that the senator from Idaho had overlooked one potent argument In favor of the bill There Is an election coming on said Senator Thomas The Democrats want all the votes they can get and the Republicans cant afford to lose any Misunderstand Peoples Sentiment Senator Borah said he appreciated the compliment Senator Galllnger Intended to pay him but added You misunderstand the sentiment of the American people on this subject They believe in fairness and Ill take my chances on the position I take before the American people and will have as many support me as support the position you take Your policy rejoined Senator Galllnger would send thousands of widows to the poorhouse Cannot Go to Poorhouse He Says Why Mr President replied Senator Borah there are thousands of other widows of men Just as patriotic just as willing to suffer for their country and who have made sacrifices these widows are suffering today and in many cases they are not even granted the relief of being admitted to the poorhouse 114 CHILDREN STRICKEN Only Seven Deaths Yesterday However inNew

been conveyed to an out of town investor for a consideration of about 500000 Though this deal would not appear in the District court records the seminary really Is a local institution and the sale therefore Is of interest in Washingtons realty and financial circles During the past year there have been only three or four properties sold in the District that brought so high a price The beautiful tract on which the school stands will be improved at a cost of several hundred thousand dollars in the next few years it is stated The purchaser is a multimillionaire and has so far refused to have his name made public One of the stipulations of the sale Is that the new owner is to spend at least 100000 during the next year on Improving the property and that this shall not be subtracted from the

Marion AntUeader If radical women suffrage Workers continue to heckle Democratic speakers as Miss Mabel Vernon of Nevada did President Wilson hers Tuesday they will drive away men who naturally would support them declared Senator Thomas of Colorado on the floor yesterday As chairman of the Senate woman suffrage committee he defied the women to do their political worst and defended bis committee for not having forced a vote on the proposed national amendment Theres nobody controlling 4000000 womens votes In this country he said nor 2000000 nor 1000000 nor 250000 In the last campaign In my State there was a sweet voiced canary on every stump and twig and they talked to audiences eagerly furnished by Re 1 publican politicians But they only sot aroused Democratlo women that all Democratic candidates oenenttea ana that was their sole effect Will Not Have Ballots Controlled The great mass of women will not have their ballots controlled by one organisation or on issue If the workers continue the campaign of heckling and Interrupting speakers as one Interrupted the President of the United States It will drive away much of the support they have Senator Thomas said the national suffrage amendment If submitted this session would receive three less votes than last year Senator Penrose having reversed himself and Senators Johnson Of South Dakota and Phelan of California opposed to the amendment having supplanted men who would have voted for It Mrs Baker 2ites Strategic Position Senator Thomas does not realise the strategic position occupied by the womans party said Mrs Robert Baker press chairman of the womans party Of course the womans party does not control 4000000 votes It never claimed It did It does not need to All the womans party needs and it already has It In the suffrage States Is the balance of power In the close and doubtful Western territory so necessary to the salvation of both the political parties this fall No one of the suffrage States has gone continuously for one political party during the last five presidential elections Their political complexion this year is still harder to prophesy because a totally new Issue one peculiarly Interesting to women has been interjected into the campaign and hundreds and thousands of women will have the right to vote this year for the first time Senator Thomas own election In 1914 hung In the balance long enough to have impressed on him what the balance of power In the hands of women can mean Determined by a Few Votes In the presidential election of 1912 the result In California was determined by 88 votes for Wyoming 37S sufficed for Idaho 656 Senator Newlands of Nevada gained bis seat in the Senate by 38 votes and Senator PIttman by 88 Senator Thomasdenounced Miss Vernon for asking the President yesterday why he continued to block the national woman suffrage amendment He should realise it is hard for any self respecting woman to listen to the Presidents statements that he desires Justice to every man in the nation and to serve every class while he continues to regard with composure the disfranchisement of half the cltisens of the United States Women cannot be enfranchised by the States as President Wilson has decided they should be It is practically Impossible to amend many of the State constitutions The Presidents method amounts to a virtual denial of enfranchisement to American women Calls it Incipient Militancy The anti suffragists of the District are highly pleased with the manner In which the votes for women demonstration was disposed of Tuesday by President Wilson at the dedicatory services of the American Federation of Labor temple Miss Mabel Vernons efforts to force President Wilson to declare himself on the suffrage at a time when he was engaged in delivering an address on labor was entirely uncalled for said Mrs John Alexander Mahon in charge of the anti suffrage headquarters yesterday Such action on the part of the suffragists Is Incipient militancy and I cannot see how President Wilson or any other man can stand for It Miss Vernon Goes to Rhode Island Miss Vernon left yesterday for Rhode Island Miss Lucy Burns speaking for the Congressional Union said that the women of the country are sick and tired of high sounding phrases from the Democrats on the suffrage question and that It was time for action She said Miss Vernons
