Those were happy days when I was
convalescing and could feel the content
of returning strength and life.
None know theh feeling except those
who have been very i'll and recover
I began again, months after com
plete recovery, to use coffee for break
fast and it seemed to agree with me for
a while until I gradually became con-
scious that the old stomach and bowel
troubles were coming on again with the
queer nervous feelings.
I had been cured first by leaving off
Coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
and would always have used Postum, but
for the fact that l got a spoiled pack
age one day and turned against it.
I didn't then know that the grocer
would have given me a good one in its
place without charge
When I found Coffee was doing me-
AGAIN 7 went back to Postum and found

most charming, delicious beverage.
In less than a week 1 was well and
Thoroughly satisfied to remain so and
stick to Postum"

MAJOR HUDSON'S AsEGIMENT.
He Was Among the First to Enlist
COlored Men.

During the civil war I enlisted and
was an orderly sergeant" said Maj. J.
K. Hudson. 1.-The second lieutenant
of my company was killed in railroad
wreck and I was promoted to be Sec
ond lieutenant. Afterwards I became
first lieutenant and then regimenta1
and brigadier adjutant. Later I was
appointed an aide on Gen. Schofeld's
staff. I was always of the opinion that
a chance should be given the colored
men to enlist. After had been on the
staff about six months I determined to
ask permission to raise colored regi-
ment. One morning I stepped up to
Gen. Schofield, who was a thorough
military man of the old school, and
said: General, I should like permission
and authority from you to raise a col
ored regiment
1.-THE general looked at me and said
in a laundering tone:
Well, if you would rather raise a
regiment of niggers than be one of my
staff you may do so.' Calling to the
adjutant he said: Give Lieutenant
Hudson permission and authority to
raise a niger regiment in any part Of
Missouri he wants to and let him go as
soon as he wants to-" Maj. Hudson

FLOODED CAMP LEEDY.
New Soldiers Have a Dismal Rainy
Sunday at the Fair Grounds.

Sunday at the Fair Grounds.
ga touch of nature makes the whole
world kim was verified yesterday at
Camp Leedy. The rains came and the
floods descended and Camp Leedy
would have made a good place for the
flying squadron to maneuver in.
All day yesterday the guards were
mostly rain. The commissioned officers
and privates alike were huddled in the
few tents that were comparatively dry
Lieut.. Walker was officer of the day
and he looked or tried to look cheerful
The guards were protected from the
rain only by their rubber blankets. The
rubber blankets have a slit in the CEN
ter about Is inches long and through
that slit the soldiers stuck their heads.
1t was queer sight to see the men
fitting about with their heads through
the rubber blankets and while it was
queer to other people it was disa gree
able to them. The water ran down the
slopes in the camp and there was not a
tent on the grounds that did not have
at least a half inch of water in it and
some tents had small rivers running
through them. Down in the cooking
tents the ones who were trying to do
the cooking were fighting against trou-
bles of their own. The water would run
in and put out the fire. If frying pan
was laid on the ground the water would
back up behind it and in n minute it
would be full of water. The salt and
sugar were caked, that is what had not
melted and run away. 1t was the bap-
tiSm of Camp Leedy and it was so
thorough that it took better than vac
cination- The name can never be
washed out. The men were equipped
with uniforms Saturday night in the
State house and were better off by the
rubber blankets they used in the day
for coats and at night for beds. mo-
body has been sick so far" said Sergt.
Maj. Parker, but I am afraid they will
commence to be soon. 1t is pretty
tough to go into the very first camp in
such rain. The only good thing about
rain is that there is not much work to
do while it rains"
