HIGH ALTITUDES, l'ooil Cannot he Ilolleil a CVnlckly n In I,nv. Tho curious experiences people havo with coffee drinking nro worth pondering over If anyono Is ailing and docs not know the oxact reason thereof. Coffee is a secratlvo worker, and through tho nervous system affects different parts of tho body In dlfferont people. A young married woman, Mrs. T. 1 Bluckmon, Oswego, Montana, had a con clusive experience in tho effects ot coffee on her eyes. Sho says, "I havo used coffee slnco a child, but a short tlmo ago my eyes' began to grow weak, and the least exertion, such as reading' or sewing would cause shooting paltiM and wavy lines ot light so that I could soe but little elso tor minutes at a time. "This alarmed mo and I earnestly sought tho cause ot tho trouble. Someone told me that coffeo nometlmeB affected tho oyos. I at onco decided to quit It and seo It 1 would bo benefited, but I must have some thing to take tho placo of coffee, for I wanted to modify, as much as posilble, the sacrlflco ot giving It up. "So I decided to try Postum for mysolf. When It came I made It strictly according to directions nd was wonderfully sur prised and pleased with It. Husband saya that my Postum Is very different, Indeed, from that bo onco drank at a friend's table. "I frankly own thnt I llko l'ostura better thnn I ever liked coffee. It has a rich body to It that coffee lacks. I boll It longer than twenty minutes and It Improves It. Perhaps tt requires longer boiling In the high altitudes. I think it does. "For three months now I have been using Postum and have been wonderfully bene fited, My eyr no longer pain me, nnd are strong as they ever were. My complexion, Itistead'of being sallow as formerly, U clear and rosy, I know to n certainty that my Improvement ba been caused by leaving oft coffee and using Postum, for that Is absolutely the only chango I hate made, and I havo taken no medicine. "A Mr. Randall, a friend ot ours, has obtained relief from his stomach trouble and headaches, by leaving off coffee and taking Postum. Wo think we know some thing ot the facts about coffee and about POitUffi." VOTES FAVORABLY ON TREATY Committal Vctts aid Adopli the 1111 Katlfjiaf AfMiMtat. URGES SPEEDY ACTION BY THE SENATE finjn .Matter, Require Immediate At trillion nnd Hope nxprreil that It Will lie rneil On In Thl Selon. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Tho senato com mittco on foreign rotations today voted to report favorably tho new Hny-Pauncofoto treaty, .providing for tho construction of an Isthmian canal. The committee was In session nearly two hours and went over In detail tho pro visions of tho convention. No votes wero cast against it, but It was criticised very sharply by Senators Money and Dacon, who found In It many ot tho objections which they urged ngalnst tho old treaty. They took especial exception to tho provision continuing in forco the neutrality provision of tho Clayton-Ilulwer treaty and nlso made qbjectlon to the, clause specially authorizing tho United States to police tho canal as placing a limitation upon tbo power ot this country to absolutely control it. Object to .Neutrality ClniiNe, Tho contention was mado that tho effect of tho treaty as sent to the senate would bo to dcprlvo tho United States of control of tho canal in enso of war. Especial at tention was called to tho provision In tho preamble of the pending treaty, reserving "Artlclo 1" of tho Clayton-Ilulwer treaty from tho repeal provision of tho now treaty. Tho portion of this article of the old treaty, to which especial objection wns made, reads as follows: "In granting, however, tholr Joint protec tion to any such canals or railways as aro by this artlclo specified, It Is always under stood by tho United States nnd Great Urltnln that the parties constructing or owning tho same shall Imposo no other chnngfu or conditions ot traffic than the aforesaid governments shall approvo ot as Just and equitable, nnd that tho same canals or railways, being open to tho citizens and subjects ot tho United States nnd Great tlrltnln on equal terms, shall nlso bo open on like terms to tho citizens and subjects of ovcry other stato which is willing to grant thereto such protection ns tho United States and Groat Rrltaln engage to afford." Did .Not Vote Aicnlnnt Iteport. Senators Money and Bacon did not go to the extent of voting against tho report of tho treaty and they acknowledge that they aro anxious to seo it ratified, because of their great dcslro to have the canal built. Still, they Insisted that tho treaty as It now stands Is very objectionable In case of the contingency of war. Senator Fryo presided over tho meeting and authorized Senntor Lodge to report tho treaty to tho senato on Monday noxt, In caso there should be an executive session on that day. It also was the senso of tho committee that tho consideration of tho treaty should bo pressed as speedily as posslblo In the scn ate, some senators expressing tho hopo that tho action might be secured beforo tho ad journment bf tho holidays. Tho committee also voted to recommend that the Injunc tion ot secrecy-be removed from tho treaty.

NEVER IN HISTRUE LIGHT ltnlilil Simon Say the .letv linn lleen I'erlteiitly mill Continually .Ml represent oil. "Lltornluro, by no means tho least of the forces of civilization, has been very Unfair to tho Jew," said Rabbi Abram Simon In n lecturo at Tomplo Israel Inst night. "It has wielded power against us as has no other forco. It may bo true, na Emerson says, that to bo great Is to bo misunder stood, but whllo not affirming thnt tho Jews wero necessarily groat, I do maintain that thoso ot the mlddlo ages wore mis understood. And history, ns the mirror of the times, reflects thoso Impressions that prevailed In thoso ages when nil the black plagues wero laid nt the door of tho Jew. 'In plays and In novels tho Jew has fig ured, but never In his true light. Shylock Is no more tho typical Jew ns to avarlco than Is Nathan tho typical Jew as to wis dom, nnd Kangwlli In his Ghetto stories his missel corroct portrayal of the modem Jew as far as has Emily Wolf of San Francisco, herself n Jewess. "Hut in William Ludlow, himself a Chris tian, I feel thnt thero has now arisen ono who has given ua In 'Deborah,' in the novol of that name, a Jewish heroine cor rectly portrayed and one, tho first, of whom wo may bo really proud. And In Judas, of the earn a book, a hero whom wo may ap provo with equal freedom." Dr. Simon then outlined tho story of the Jpwcss who loved and wns won by Dion, lender of tho Greeks at thnt period, 165 D. C, when tho struggle was bitterest be tween tho remnant of tho original .Jews and thoso who had allied themselves with tho Greeks nnd adopted tho customs and drees of the latter. Judas, commander ot tho Jews, loved Deborah, but gnvo her up to Dion after tho latter had pledged loyalty and submission to Judas, even though Judas ns king could take Deborah for his royal consort. Dr. Simon then said: "What Is tho moral? It Is that Jow and Christian, still separated In hatred when they should bo united Ip lovo enn only bo reconcile! whop all Christians will bo llko Dion, nil Jews llko Judas and all Jawrsaes llko Deborah, each recognizing In thoso to ward whom they havo so long cherished 111 fccllug tho virtues that each certainly possesses."

A .1llfortline Which Destroyed tho llnpplne of line Knmlly In n Time When nil Should Mate lleen Cheerful, Christmas doc.4 not bring happiness to everybody. Pcnco does not always come and even good will Is sometimes difficult to entertain, Robert Yntcs did not havo a merry Christmas, nor did his family. Prospects had been bright' enough the day befor, and ho had left homo for tho days' work with a feeling of content, looking' forward Itr pleasure to tho gift-giving of the mor row. Hut ns ho wns on his way back In the evening, laden with hie share of tho mysterious bundles that aro always cen on Christmas Eve, ho became suddenly weak. Florco pnlna shot through his head and body nnd he became so dizzy that ho wns hardly able to make his way home. Ho was confined to tho bed nnd tho bnppluets of thnt Christmas wau destroyed for him Atid for his family. He continues tho story as follows: "I wns elck for threo months from (hat awful Christmas Evo of ltOO. It was an attack of tho grip nnd nbout ns scvero n ono ns anybody over hod. , "Did you over havo tho grip? Well, you don't know what It Is, then. It racks your mind and body. It's n combination or nil the aches and pains known to medical science. And that isn't tho worst ot It when you're over the' grip you thavo Its after-effects. I was restless and steeples, with constant pain In my limbs, I toll away In ilesh, lost my appetite, was tired out for no reason, and became generally miserable. ''Finally, when things wero looking protty blue for me, oue tiny I noticed n piece in tho paper nbout a man living .In Kansas who had been cured of a rome wjiut similar complaint of twolvo years' standing, by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Palo People. So I decided to try them. I felt better before I finished one box. I kept on taking them and they cured me. Now I am pnst sixty-three years of .age, I enjoy perfect health nnd, thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I can do a good dnj-B' work again. I nm as hale and hearty ns many mon much younger than I, have a splendid appettto and can go to sleep a few minutes after retiring. ."A couplo years nfter tho Illness I re ferred to I felt, the symptoms ngalu. I im mediately bogon taking the pills nnd not only was tho attnek not nearly o severe but I quickly recovered nnd had none of tho bad after-effects. I might also add thnt before I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills I had suffered for about seventeen years with rheumatism, but I hnvo not folt nny of It since. They aro n wonderful medicine nnd I Hnvo no doubt but wnnt they saved my life." Mr. Robert G.

Mony people suffor as Mr. Yates did and thousands have taken the same remedy with as goad results. With each recurring epidemic of tho grip it Js moro evident that the disease' loaves in.lte wako a train qf stubborn ailments thnt often balTto the skill of physicians. Losb of flesh, thin blood, nervousness, short ness uf . breath, exhaustion after slight ex ertion so that It Is often difficult to "walk upstairs these aro a fow of tho symptoms of after-effects of the grip.
