" . ' Coffee roasters know that there is caffeine, a subtle, poisonous drug in coffee. But they d6dge the issue and talk about flavour. Proof lies in the fact that some coffee concerns have tried, without much success, to rid coffee of its caffeine. Daily blows of this coffee-drug finally result for most people, in nervousness, headache, heart flutter or some other form of caffeine poisoning. You may not think coffee hurts you, but to be sure, quit coffee ten days and use the pure food-drink POSTUM It is made of wheat and a bit of wholesome molasses.

CORRECTION IS IGNORED San Francisco Newspapers Publish Stories on Supposed Difficulties Which Are Explained Away by Commission to Fair. OREGON BUILDING, EXPOSITION GROUNDS, San Francisco, Aug. 19. (Special.) For three days the San Francisco papers, in the face of all de nials, 'have run headline stories on supposed hostess difficulties at the Oregon building. On Saturday the San Francisco CaU and Post printed large photographs of Mrs. Thomaa G. Hailey. ex-hostess of the Oregon buildinc. labeled "Hostess of the Oregon Build ing." On the succeeding day photo graphs of Mrs. Charles A. Gray were sent officially from the Oregon build ing to the four San Francisco paperst naming her "Hostess of the Oregon Building. This aroused suspicion on the part of newspapermen. They scented friction, and interviewed the two women and Commissioner John F. Logan, who ex plained that Mrs. Thomas G. Hailey and Mrs. Charles A. Gray had been named official hostesses, each to serve three months, uninterruptedly, Mrs. Hailey the first thcee months, her time to expire June r and Mrs. Gray the second three months, beginning June 1. The privilege of appointing a third hostess at the end of this time if they saw fit was reserved by the Commis sioners. The fact that Mrs. Hailey has re mained in San Francisco and continued to be a prominent figure at the expo sition, entertaining throughout Mrs. Gray's term, gave the impression with many that she was still an omciui hosttss of the Oregon building, with Mrs. Gray merely an associate. This erroneous impression is responsible for the newspaper stories. s Mrs. Charles A. Gray is to continue as official hostess until the close of the exposition, by appointment from the Board of Commissioners in session in Portland. The appointment was re ceived today.
