The Wealthy enjoy life. It is the sickly and

health (through scientific! feeding) means
restoring happiness too.
You must take a fresh hold. Here Is a

writes: "Two years ago I was sick all the

agreied with me. It did not digest and I
suffered dreadfully.

At fhls time I felt as if I were losing my
mind. My health . was slipping away
strength and energy were gone and I stood
in fear of the dreaded asylum. I would
not have given two cents to see the great

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. The general de
bate en the postofflce appropriation bU4 was
enlivened today by an Interesting discus
sion of the tariff question. ' '
The consideration of the postofflce hill
In committee of the whole was completed,
but it was not passed. The annual attempt
to strike, out the appropriations . (of -(pedal
mall Jaclllties between Washington and
New Orleana and Kansas .City and Newton,
Kan., was led this year by Mr. Talbert (S.
C), who followed his motion, after' ft was
defeated ,ln cotnmKtfy, with another In
the house to recommit the bill with In
structions to eliminate the provisions.
Takes l J'ontofflcn Bill.
Consideration was resumed of the post
office appropriation bill, an arrangement
having been made to close general debate
at 3 o'clock.
Mr. Perkins (N.-YA) favored placing bpef
and hides on the free list. Mr. Sibley
(Pa.) attracted much attention by his re
marks In reply to a speech after Mr. Wil
liams (Mich.) last week on the subject of
the tariff.. In concluding, he 'warned the
house. that the people, would bold the .re
publicans responsible after the hysteria
relative to tariff reform had passed.
Most of his republican colleagues ap
plauded this statement. ..
' Mr. Griggs (Ga.), who was chairman of
the democratic congressional committee,
defended at some length the figures of the
democratic campaign book relative to the
tariff and the trusts.
Mr. Loud (Cal ), chairman of the post
offlce committee. In closing reviewed the
condition of the postal service and Its
phenomenal growth In recent years. He
expressed the opinion that the postofflce
appropriation for the next year should
carry less than the present measure.
Mr. Talbert (S. C.) moved to strike out
the appropriation of 1142,000 for special
mall facilities between Washington, At
lanta and New Orleana.
After a lively debate the motion wag de
feated, 73 to 83.
A motion to strike out the appropria
tion of $25,000 for special mall facilities
from Kansas City to Newton, Kan., also
was defeated.
When the bill was completed and re
ported to the house Mr. . Talbert mCved
to recommit the bill with instructions to
strike out the provision for special facili
ties. The house at 6:30 p. m. adjourned with
out action.

retorted that the Infirmities of the op
ponents of statehood were Increasing to
auch an extent that he expected aoon to see

Admiral Taylor, chief of the navigation
bureau, has made the fallowing recommen
dations to the secretary of the navy re
garding Captain Hobson's resignation:
The bureau Is reluctant to recommend the
acceptance of this officer's resignation, be
lieving that t!m should be given him to
reconsider his doehdon and make a trial
of the new duties at the station to which
he has been assigned, that the government
may retain the services of an officer whoee
record has been ro brilliant.
Secretary Moody today telegraphed this
recommendation to Captain Hobson, with
the statement that the department ap
proved It, and that he transmitted It to
him for his consideration.' The- correspond
ence attending the tendor of the resigna
tion was made public. .
Captain Hobson gtvoj as a reason for his
action the bad condit,ina of his ejes rnd

GERMAN REPLY COMES
(Continued from First Page.)
Bowen's powers are not so full aa is de
sirable. The co-operating powers, standing by
their first conditions, that the blockade
shall not be raised until an adequate guar
antee for the payment of the reserve claims
la given, have instructed their embassies
at Washington to Insist upon auch an ade
quate guarantee. Otherwise the blockade
will continue for months, or for years If
this Is necessary to persuade President Cas
tro to meet the demands of the allies. Some
of Mr. Bowen's suggestions are here re
garded aa being "almost trivial."
'Wish Alliance Broken.
PARIS, Feb.. 4. Opinion In official cir
cles here strongly opposes the latest po
sition taken by the allies, which, In effect,
is said to give them six years' priority.
There la reason to believe that France
haa expressed disapproval of the plan. One
of the chief grounds for this .is that such
six years' advantage Is regarded as estab
lishing a new triple alliance between Ger
many, Great Britain and Italy toward South
American affairs for six years. Such a long
continued co-operation for three F'iropean
powers in South America la considered here
as introducing a broad political factor more
important than the - financial amounts in
volved'
7.UJ
-oA .leading official' of . - the foreign -offlcf
said today that It' watf . desirable to soe
the triple alliance' against Venezuela ter
minated as soon as possible. The French
position favors a settlement which will not
only cover the money payments, but will
also secure the dissolution of the present
alliance.
Denies Threatened Bombardment.
CARACAS, Feb. 4. There la no truth in
the report circulated In the United States
that the representatives of the allies re
cently notified the civil authorities of La
Guayra that the presence of Venezuelan
troops there was objected to, and that If
reported again the forts would be shelled.

that May Arise.
WATERBLRY, Conn., Feb. 4 Waterbury
set Its teeth at sundown to meet a crisis
In the trolley strike. The people feared
the money element.
Last Saturday was pay day for thousands
of Waterbury laborers and It Is affirmed
that the riot of that night was a result of
not unusual pay day carousals-. Wednes
day la pajr day for aa many more and the
logic of the thing seemed to point to this
night as one of menacing possibilities. AH
told, the day had been an uneasy one and
It was with great relief that Waterbury
heard the news from the atate capital this
evening that Governor Chamberlain had de
cided not to withdraw the troopa tonight.
So far as the peace of the city was con
cerned, the day had been a quiet one, as a
heavy downpour of rain kept idlers within
doora. Tho military headquarters were
equipped with a telephone system reaching
out to every point In the strike territory.
The signal corps put into place powerful
arc lights at. the caf barns and power bouse
and similar apparatus In a tall building on
South Vain street near headquarters, thus
making . possible communication by light
signals and relieving some of the handicap
Imposed .by darkness.
Urge Men j to Go Home.
The strikers'-dally , statement had for Its
feature-a plea addressed to "Their friends."
It urged 'werklngmen In doing their usual
Wednesday night shopping to return to their
homes without lolterlpg on the streets.
Some bitterness was displayed at the re
ported presence In the city, of out-of-town
detectlvea In tho service of the trolly com
pany The afternoon brought an effort on the
part of the clergymen to bring the officials
of the company and the strikers together.
The clergymen waited upon Colonel Burpee,
but their mission waa fruitless.
Just before 6 o'clock Sheriff Dunha ar
rived from New Haven. With him were
thirty deputies, newly sworn. The little
posse waa escorted to the courthouse, where
It is now quartered. The sheriff himself
immediately went to military headquarters.
A heavy rain which began before day
light tsday had a quieting effect on the sit
uation. It served to keep the streets clear
of crowds and he police and' state troops
welcomed It aa an effective aid in their
work for the preservation of peace.
The cara of the company and the wagona
of the atrlkers ran ,on their usual rival
achedulca today with the bus lines having
the better of it ao far as patronage waa
concerned. .
