THE CABINET OPENS A CAN
Of Roast Beef and It Is Pronounced
Good.

Washington, Feb. 11-At the cabinet
meeting the president read a brief
extract from the report of the war in
vestigation commission and the matter
was discussed informally. During the
conversation a can of roast beef, which
had been taken from the commissary
stores, was brought in and opened. The
members present examined it as well as
could be done with the means at hand
and all declared that as far as they
could determine it was in perfect con-
ditfon, wholesome and sweet.
The question of the transportation to
Cuba of the 5000, 900 with which the

the kind of money to be sent, was brief

they wished, whether gold, silver or
silver certificates, or a part in each
Shipments of 100000 each probably will
be made at intervals of a few days, or
as rapidly as needed.
The question of extra session of
congress was also discussed, and it is
the opinion of the members of the cab
met that in case of the failure of the
army reorganization bill an extra ses-
sion will be necessary. The president
during the meeting called attention to
the urgent necessity for an American
cable across the Pacific and read the
message he had sent to congress on the
subject.

Healthy Enough to Eat or Drink
What He Likes.

While have an excellent constitution
and think nothing easily effects me, I
propose to keep it if possible.
1 have observed for years the great
number of people who complain of the
bad effect of coffee, and while 1 can
drink coffee or almost anything 1 want,
without trouble, it is nevertheless true
that we do not use ordinary coffee at
our house, but for many months have
been using Postum Food Coffee. We
find it every way preferable to i'm
ported coffee.
We make it strictly according to di-
rections for we found out early that it
could be made to taste very fiat when
underboiled, but as we make it now, to
use slang phrase 1T hits the spot"
1 drink it three times day.
1 enclose a list of friends who are
regular users of the Postum Food
Coffee.
In our family we believe that good
health can be used to advantage in do
ing business or prosecuting professional
work, and we propose to keep all the
good health we have, if such a thing is
possible, and we think one of the most
important measures is the abandonment
of coffee and the use of Postum. F. w.

Oh! The Pain
Of Rheumatism!
It's TOrtureS Known to
Thousands.

The aches and pains of Rheuma-
tism become a constant COM
panion to all who are victims of
this disabling disease. The peo-
pie generally are not acquainted
with the cause of the disease,
though thousands know its tor
lures.
Everybody should know that
Rheumatism is peculiar acid con-
dition of the blood, upon which all
liniments in the world can have
no effect whatever. The best
blood remedy is needed-one which
is able to go to the very seat of the
disease and force it out. Swift's
Specific Is. s. S. is the right
remedy for Rheumatism, because
it is the only blood remedy free
from mercury, potash and other
minerals which intensity the dis
ease, causing stiffness of the joints
and aching of the bones.
8. s. S. neutralizes the acid
condition of the blood, and forces
out every trace of the disease. 1t
reaches even the worst cases
where the doctors have made
cripples with their prescriptions
of potash and mercury.
