TRY AGAIN.
Don't Let CareIessness Keep Won From
Comfort.


Have you ever been disappointed in
the flavor of your cup of Postum Food
Coffee? If so, you are the person we
want to talk to. Flavor and food value
cannot be extracted from a food drink
of this kind if it is dripped or SIM
mered. A delicious taste and cup
full of nourishment can be had quickly
and easily if the Postum be allowed to
keep up clever boiling for fifteen
minutes after boiling begins. Remem-
Der, to simply leave the pot on the
stove fifteen minutes, will not answer.
Keep up the boil fifteen minutes after
active boiling commences.
This is simple, and if your health is
worth looking after at all, it is worth
having your Postum made good in
stead of sloppy; for, when it is well
boiled, you get the strength and body
building elements as well as the
charming flavor. Insist on having
your beverage well made, and that
cream or boiled milk be served with
it. 1t is just as easy to have Postum
we'll made as to have it made in a
slovenly manner.
This talk on the preparation of Pos
tum is called for from the fact that
we have heard lately of several people
who cannot drink coffee and tried Pos
tum, but were discouraged, from the
fact that it was badly made. When it
is served properly, it makes and holds
friends for life.

merits of the dormitoTy and the cottage
system. The questions related TO the
comparative cost n winch system
was preferable. The consensus OF opin-
ion was that the cottage plan was a
little more expensive. but without ex-
ception. those who had experience with
both expressed a decided preference
for IL. The reasons the questions should
be settled soon Is that the building we
now have can be used with either. but
the future building will be determined
largely by the system adopted.

two ideas are Incompatible. The act
establishing the institution says; The
trustees shall establish and maintain
shops within the grounds of the home
wherein suitable trades may be taught

decide TO make the Industrial idea the
leading feature. II cannot be done
otherwise. There Is no difficulty In Sc
curing homes for bright. efficient boys
and girls. Most of our children are un-
der 10 years of age: the average age
being sh years. and the average time
they have remained here thus far Is is
months. II may be better not only to
continue placing children in homes. but
to make this the permanent feature and

The Michigan institution has been run

gard the placing OF children In homes
as their best work and nave adopted II

Washington, Dec. 7.-Attorney General
Griggs to-day submitted to congress his
annual report of the operations of his de-
partment.
1.-THE war revenue act" he says. has
been especially productive of doubtful
questions and many instances of advice
and direction to the commissioner of In
ternal revenue relative to different fea-
lures of that statute will be found in the
report of that officer. The attention OF
congress is respectfully called to them In
order that IL IL be deemed necessary or
advisable congress may correct any de-
fects or inequalities in the law which the
Interpretations of the department of jus
tice nave made.
Very soon after the outbreak of the
war with Spain this department was call
ed upon to take charge of the legal pro-
ceedings for the condemnation of vessels
and cargoes captured by our navy as
prizes. Tine amount realized from the sale
of the captured vessels and cargoes con-
demned as prizes is $101, 034.
THE attention of congress is called to
the necessity of providing a more COM
plete and adequate form of government
for Alaska. The efforts to administer jus
tice and maintain order in the territory,
with the large accessions OF population
that have recently gone into hat region.
restricted by the very limited machinery
provided for Alaska In its original
sparsely settled condition., are attended

Much complaint arises from the opera

change in the method OF compensating
these officers be made. so that their COM
pensation shall be paid entirely by a
fixed salary. and all fees covered into
the treasury"
