BEGINS HOLDING OUT.
First Claim of tho State Allowed,
Minus About $4,000,

The state received from the United
States government yesterday the first
return of moneys expended by the state
In providing Minnesotas volunteers FOR
the war with Spain. The amount re-
turned was Sls,932.S0 on account of
claim for 21.0O0. This amount was paid
to the troops at Camp Ramsey for time
between the mobilization and the mus
terfng In. The difference between the
amount allowed and the claim IS due to
the fact that the government will
not pay those men who answered the
call of the governor, but afterwards re-
fused to muster. The men who were re-
1ected by the examining surgeons, how
ever, are allowed pay, but are included
In the amount held back until proof in
detailed statement Is furnished by the
government. The former number is very
small, but the government is cautious
In the matter.
The work of making these settlements
naturally devolves on the attorney gen.
eral or the state auditors department,
but by tacit understanding, has been
done by the adjutant general This is
only one Of several claims the state has
against the national government 1t
means lot Of clerical work and it was
said yesterday, when the state found
the government for a starter had held
back $4,000. that the request of the adju-
tant generals department for an allow
ance for another clerk to handle this par.
ticufar work was reasonable and that It
would be a profitable investment for the
legislature to make on behalf Of the

HIGH STRUNG AMERICANS.

covery.
/ am a teacher In one of the city high
schools here, and have. what might be
called typical American temperament
that htgh-strung, nervous makeup which
is partly Unborn and partly due to the con-
slant demands for quick and concentrated
effort of our rapid modern hfe
Such a temperament demands nour-
ishment and reserve force rather than
stimulation and its sure reaction--exhaus-
ton.
My observation teaches that people with
such temperaments are very seriously af-
fected by coffee, even in small quantities.
I had become gradually more and more
irritable and extremely unhappy and mel
ancholy, whilest the flesh became thin and
fabby, with aasallow bilious appearance
Being Of an analytical mind l have OBJ
served these symptoms, not only in my
self but In other eoffee-users, and during
the past few years have been casting
about to find a. suitable beverage for
breakfast in place of coffee or tea One
day my wife brought home a box of
Postum Cereal Food Coffee from the
grocer's, and the result Of the expert
ment was very isatisfactory-quite beyond
our hopes We discovered that there are
two ways to make Postum; underboiled II
is fat and tasteless, but when properly
boiled 1t is perfectiin its coffee taste, fully
as pleasant, but effects vastly different
Instead of increasing irritability, 1t al
layed it, giving that satisfied feeling
which only cemes from food which d.
gests and assfmilates at once It Is
very common occurrence for visiting
friends to use the Postum right along at
the meals, complimenting the excellence
of our coffee and not being aware they
are using Postum Food Coffee until told
Postum has solved the problem for us and
several of our friends We use It three
times daysand bless the man who in
vented it. Edwin w. Foster, Instructor
Of the Brooklyn Manual Training High
School.

the Universalists Of st. Paul for the pllr,
pose of securing more pledges

members are as much heroes and entitled
to our homage as If they had earned their
laurels on the battlefield"
Capt Castle pointed out that but per
cent or the men who enlisted in the Civil
