To be active during the day and keep tn good health requires sound sleep at night. This is esperlglly true of children when mental and physics! development Is mors rapid than later on. An Intelligent mother dlscovertd that coffee was harmful, not only to herself and husband, but tbat It was doubly so to her boy.

She writes: 'For more than twenty-five years I have been a great coffee drinker; have often tried to give It up because It made me nervous, constipated, and I could not go to sleep for several hours stter retiring. "About six months ago finally quit coffee snd began to uae Postum. Now we use It three times a day; I am entirely cured of constipation, ran sleep all night and do not get those nervous spells. While under lbs coffee habit I wag pale snd sallow; now every one tells me have such healthy complexion. Postum bss certainly won (he victory In our house.

"There sre two persons especially who have been greatly benefited by drinking Postum Instead of ordinary coffee. One, a gentleman who has been rursd ot dyspepsia; tho other my own little boy, was cured of a most annoylog affliction, without our even consulting a physician. "Whenever he took ta or coffee, he would He awake at night probably three or four houra, with hi ryes wide open, talking lo himself and grasping St Imaginary object In the air. "We commenced giving him Postum tn place of lea or coffee. He Is now a robust boy and I entirely free from those spalls of wakefulness." Nam given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich.

we. full thus to Increase It, we show our Impotence," 1 received with little dissent. "The rale bill passed by the last Congress was a tremendous advanco in Federal authority, while anti-lottery laws, pure food laws and other Fedoral acts, within what wero presumed to bo the health and polite powers of tho states, receive general approval, and In tho appropriation of $80,000,000 at the last session for rivers and harbors state rights men sharing In the benefits and forgetting the veto of one of their Presidents a similar bill because of Irs tutionality, and the failure of iniother to sign for the samo reason, hailod with Joyous acclaim tho wise liberality of the Federal Government. There Is a lot of human nature In the world, and at times works mightily against political prin ciples. The swing of the pendulum is noticed In the significance of words.

'Rn Ileal has always been the terror of our religion and politics. 'Too radical has defeated candidates and parties. It has closed the church to professors of new religious Ideals and conventions to men of opinions In advance of their party. But we have passed so far beyond the thlnara we feared that a radical Is one not wp with the times. Our peril now Is a reactionary.

President Overshadows Congress. "But "til! more remarkable than cen tralization is the expansion of popular appreciation of the exerutive office. The presidency has grown Into proportions which overshadow the Congress and the courts. The people expect the President not only to deliver the tnessagoB con templated by the constitution, but to In struct their representatives on all mat ters of Interest. The formative or restraining hand of the executive Is no every detail and proposed amendment of leading measures.

There are ninety Senn-tors and 3S6 members of the House of Ropresentatlves, but apparently the peo ple believe their functions are to ratify recommendations, nnd they resent ndn- j't-niji-ijT iiiiikk BUIK MPIIO eiiicil. alter bills or opposition to their ennct-1 ment. i "Andrew Johnson wus placed on trial and escaped impeachment by the narrow margin of one vote tor antagonizing Congress, and several of the statesmen who with great courage and independence voted for his acquittal were ostracized by their constituents snd driven from public lite, but the pendulum has swung to the other extreme, as was witnessed during the Inst session by resolutions from the Legislature of one of tho newer ststes.

1av 1 most unanimously approved by the press, and the deputy leader of the opposition In tha House of Representatives followed It up by introducing a proposition to makes judges removable at the pleasure of the President, which would make the Judiciary un echo of the President's will. While this expansion of executive power Is in harmony with the views and practice of one of the ablest. most Independent nnd resoarcefnl of onr Presidents, even his supreme prenltis for molding; pnbllc opinion could not have produced these result" if the trend of the popular in I ii had not been In that direc tion. "A Public utilities bill Is presented to the Legislature for Its aunrovafc It con fers powers never known before and if adopted here will be followed In other states. Government ownership buys from the stock and bond holders their securities at a fair valuation, but under this measure every attribute of ownership Is conferred nn a commission controlled by the Governor except responsibility for returns on the capital Invested.

It can order everything which the President and directors can in expenditures and jn motive power, signals, patent uppllances, equipment, tracks and bridges and the number and character of employes on tho ono hand and regulfte earnings on the other by control of rates for fares and freight, but without any accountability tor results. "This Is In Its effect upon property and employment the most far-reaching measure which any Legislature hag ever had in ri lhn nnr.nn, buiioi.t.., pun JU IIIU BlIBICUl lnr tendency of tho hour Is to deny to oitner the Senate, with Its fifty-one mem bora, and the House, with ono hundred and fifty, all recently elected by the pco plo, the right to alter or amend tho pro visions of tho proposed law in any cssen tir.1 feature, specially as to conferring upon the Senate the power of removal or upon the courts the right of review of the orders of the commission. Praise for Merrltt's Speech. "Assemblyman Merrltt In his very able ana interesting speech on the bill be fore the Westchester Bar Association last Saturday evening said that It made the commissioners associate directors In the railroad boards. But there is this dlf fereneo between the -commissioners as directors and the directors elected by the stocknoiuers: Tne commissioner-directors are supreme.

They can nullify any action by the others, but If the stockholder directors fall to adopt the orders or tne commissioner-directors the com pany pays a fine of Ave thousand dollars a day and the directors elected by the stockholders go to Jail, and there Is no appeal. "Over halt a century upon the nlat form and In affairs has taught me one supreme lesson. It Is that revolution and evolution, errors of legislation or crazes of the hour, crystallizing Into policies, may check for the moment out development, but cannot stay our progress. The resistless spirit ot American enterprise overcomes all obstacles. Sanity Is our normal condition, and brain storms at rare Intervals and for brief periods lift one foot from, the ground, never both.

With an arrhalc monetary system which produces periodical panics, raises the rate of Inter est on money to a hundred per cent, per annum, and prevents our occupying our natural position as the world center of finance, we have yet built a commercial empire and leaped the harvest of a pro ductive energy beyond tho experience of any nation and all periods. We have no mnrine and persistently refuge iMn adopt tho methods by which rival nations keep their fleets on the ocean, and though we pay tbo freight to foreigners our producers mannge tn maintain a strong position In the markets of the world.

C. II Regards President' Policy and Governor's Policy as New Centralization. 73D BIRTHDAY CELEBRATED. Junior Senator in the House of His Friends and at His Best Wood-si ruff Toastmaster. Following a custom which has been interrupted only once In seventeen years, the Montauk Club celebrated, laat night, the birthday anniversary of Senator Chauncey Mitchell Depew, this time his seventy-third.

It was the first publio d'naor tbat had been tendered to the Senator since the storm-clouds of the Insurance Investigation, two years ago, seemed to dim the luster of his remarkable oarasr. sad some concern was felt for the raamlt There was no need for that concern. Whatever the world at large may think ot him. Senator Depew Is still, to quote the words of a song written specially for the occasion. "The Montauk's Ptlde," and the Feast of the Resurrection" was a floe success feom every standpoint.

From the tln.a that the Senator entered the club-house, sliortly before 7:30 o'clock, until he departed, shortly before midnight, he was "Our Chauncey," the Chauncey of the olden days. Fully 200 members and guests sat down to the feast. The tables were decurated with potted plants, while garlands of smilax served to soften the vividness of the red and yellow b'inting, the Mon tauk's colors, with which the rooms were hung. At the speaker's table, sur rounding the guests of the evening, were State Chairman Timothy L. Woodruff, the president of tha club; Supreme Court Justice William J.

Carr, Park Commissioner Kennedy, Thomas H. Troy, Bor ough President Coler. Commissioner of Public Works Desmond Dunne, Maurice O'Meara, Louis Wiley, John W. Vrooman, Charles F. Smith, former Controller Edward M.

Grout, Congressman Waldo, Congressman Calder, William A. Pren- James C. Shaw and William P. Callaghan. While the courses were being served a banjo club and the Phoenix Quartet fur nished music for the eompany.

Song That Made a Hit. The song that made the biggest hit was called, "Our Chauncey," and was writ ton especially for the occasion by A. S. Hlggins, the secretary of the Montauk Club. Sung to the air ot "Bill Simmons," two of the verses and the chorus ran as follows: Our Chauncey Is an orator, Ae you will all agree; When golf Is round, ha has been found bo tired he could nut see.

But let him scent an argument. He'd quickly feel a thrill, No matter If 'twas or Just a pen sion Dili; Aa It got under way, Chauncey would slowly say: "It ain't no use. I've got to speak, there Is no other way." But, Chauncey, we are glad to grieve hare, as you Jan plainly see; As spring ccmes round you must be found beneath the Montauk's tree. May breexes gently waft you on, as down the slroam you glide, No matter If the tempests blow, you're still tha Montauk's pride. So.

for many Aprils we hone to hear you say: it am no use, i ve got to speak, it is me HontauK day. CHORUS. Chauncey, let us tell you. when your birthday comes. We can't keep still, got a thumping in our hearts, lust like a double bass arum.

A-mireinc Is the Montauk whooo: we re trying tmgniy nara lor to aeep it back, till we near you. Chauncev. aet a-aolna like a house afire! You've got to talk tin your oinnoay a through. When the Senator arose to begin his speech he was cheered and applauded for nearly a minute. In the course of Its delivery be had also frequently to pause while the diners clapped their hands.

As an orator Senator Depew was the Denew of old. He was a trifle ner vous when he started, but as he warmed to his subject the nervousness disap peared and the eloquent sentences fell as of yore, without hesitation for word or thought. Illness and criticism may have robbed the Senator of some of his physical vigor, but neither has served to dull the force of his Intellect or the fluency of his tongue. Speech an Effective One. tn the course of his address Sena tor Depew touched on many topics, some of the mremlniscent and some prophetic, but the greater part of his speech was devoted to what he termed a "word picture" of the conditions affecting the fundamental structure of our government to-day.

In a veiled manner he arraigned the centralisation policy of the present- national administration and criticized severely the public utilities bill. The Senator made It very clear at the outset that he did not Intend resigning from the Senate. In fact, when be remarked anent the present condition of the Republican party that It was a delicate subject to discuss for one who had hopes, some ot the diners thought that tbey taw an Intimation of a possible Intention of the Senator to run for that office again. Senator Depew said that we have a centralization of power and executive authority beyond the dreams of Hamilton. He cited the rate bill as an example of tremendous advance In Federal authority.

and said lhat a Radical was now regarded as a man not up with the times. The presidency, be declared, had grown Into proportions which overshadowed the Con grcss and the courts. Referring to state affairs, he asserted thst the swing of the pendulum was to autocratic stats control. Attacking the Public Utilities bill, the Senator said "In Its effect upon property and em ployment It Is the most far-reaching measure whlrh any Legislature hsd ever been called upon lo consider." Chtlrman Woodruff presented Senator Depew to the diners. He first snnounced ihat.

owing to the financial ability ot Mr. Drout, the second mortgage on the clubhouse hsd been wiped out, and then presented the Senator as the samo man thst he was seventeen years ago. Senator Depew's Speech, After a humorous reference to his birthday, Senator Depew went, on to asy: "We have a centralization of power and executive authority beyond the dreams of Hamilton, and It Is the popular will. The fathers of tho republic, alarmed by the usurpations of (ieorge had at first In their articles nf federation nn executive snd no authority for the enforcement of the laws.
