A large number of ships have been offered
to the department. at reasonable rates, but
they were in such condition that the
officials refused them on the ground that
it would not be safe to send troops in
them. An earnest effort will be made to
secure American boats, but it is very
plainly set forth by Mr.. Meikeljohn that
the officials will not lose further time,
but viii instead ask that American
register be given to certain foreign vessels

I RY AGAIN
DON'T Let Careiessness Keep You 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 food drink of
this kind if it is dripped or simmered.
A delicious taste and a cup full of nour-
ishment can be had quickly and easily if
the Postum be allowed to keep up a clev.
er boiling for fifteen minutes after boil
ing begins. Remember to simply leave
the DOT on the stove fifteen min ties, 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 instead
of sloppy, for when it is we'll boiled you
get the strength and body building ele.
ments as we'll as the charming flavor In
sist on having your beverage well made
and that cream or boiled milk be served
with it. 1t is just as easy to have Pos
tum we'll made as to have it made in a
slovsnly manner.
This talk on the preparation of Postum,
is called for from the fact that we have
heard lately of several people who cannot
drink coffee and tried Postum, but were
discouraged, from the fact that it was
badly made. When it is served properly,
1t makes and holds friends for life.

SOLDIERS NOT FED WE'LL
To the Editor of the Press:
Augusta, May Gath,

Augusta, May gath, 1898.
I think that there should BIZ a protest
made in regards to the rations, or rather
lack of rations issued the troops at Camp
Powers. 1t seems to me that while the
boys are in the state of Maine they should
be we'll fed. We do not expect pie or
cake, but we do expect good wholesome
food. If we were on the march or in the
enemy's country or away from our base
of supplies, it would be different, but
here at home, there is no excuse whatever
for our treatment. 1t has cost us money
from our own pockets to buy enough food
to make square meal. State rations
were above criticism and we were amply
supplied. We are not drawing prinoely
salaries down here, and it Is shame that
we should have to pay two and three dol.
lars per week for food. II they expect us
to perform military duty there should be
better supply of food.
Ii some of our citizens could see what
we have to put up with there would be
no doubt, change for the better.

FAIRNESS m TIE PRiNARiES.

The democratic executive committee

of "workers to solicit votes" on

candidate who did employ such work
ers would be counted elected, no mat.

commenting upon the action Of the
committee, speaks as follows:
"With the spirit and purpose of this

Our people are heartily disgusted with
the spectacle which ward heelers have
presented at the polls in past elections,

and, moreover, in response to the de-

There is nothing more offensive to the

employing ward heelers, and the &C =
