BOER TACTICSC OMPLIMENTED

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LOND1N, January 3.-British war CORE
spondents are pouring in through the mails
columns of descriptions of the operations
in South Africa. Those recently printed
refer chiefly to the battles of Graspan and
Modder river, for 1t is yet too early for the
publication of full accounts of Buffers de-
feat at Colenso. The Times correspondent
at Modder river has written a graphic ac-
count of the long fierce battle that takes
its name from that stream. For the whole
of the day he writes, 1.-The Guards brigade
lay on the open veldt in heat that was
actually 11o degrees in the shade at mid
day. Meanwhile the left flank had not
been idle, and after the general had per-
sonally led them to the summit of slight
rise that commanded the only possible
means of crossing the river-the dam that
had been built to turn the Modder river into
an ornamental pond for the picnics of
Kimberley eXcursionists-they moved in
echelon toward the edge of the river bank
on the enemys extreme left.

fact than that at some of these battles

ing to the Derby at home and, having
done their best. have retired in the same

Description of Camp Life.
In a lighter strain the Palf Mall Gazette's
of December 6. described camp life:
The tedium of camp life here has been
relieved by surprise visits paid to various
Dutch farms, whose owners have been sus-
pected Of completely in the rising. No
looting was allowed, the orders being very
strict on this point. Despite, however, the
strictness with which these most necessary
orders have been carried out, the return of
some raiding parties rather resembled a
border foray of the olden time The verb
to commander covers a multitude of
petty larcenies.''
From the Ladysmith correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle Genes grim touch of be-
Sieged misery:
'Disheveled women are peering out of
sand. They crawl in in the evening light
shaking the dirt from their petticoats and
the sand from their back hair. They rub
the children's faces round with the tails of
their gowns They tempt scraps Of flames
to take the chill off the yellow water for
the chidrens tea. After shutdown a steady
Scotch drizzle settles down upon u.s.

Assoc iation in Chicago Raising Money
for Wounded Beers.

for Wounded Beers.
CHICAGO, January FL. Eanderploeg,
secretary of the South African Fund Asso-
citation, reports fund of $4,000 on hand,
which will be forwarded to the Red Cross
Society when $1,000 more has been added.
Enthusiasm among the Dutch-Americans
is at high tide over the subscriptions now
being taken to aid the sick and wounded
Boer soldiers. During the last week the
Dutch Reformed Church of Alto Wis,
raised S557. the South Holland Church of
Chicago raised 500 by popular subscription
and the South Dutch Church made $40 by
a concert
Many churches of the sect in various
parts of the surrounding country have sent
in smaller sums. 1t was not more than a
month ago that circular letters asking aid
We're sent to all churches in Illinois of the
Dutch and Christian Reform denomina-
tons. In many cases where money has not
yet been sent the association has received
letters that people were doing their best to
help the cause along and would forward
money as soon as Il sufficient sum has been
accumulated.
The officers of the association are in COM
munication with Baron Hardenbrook who
is president of the Red Cross organization
of The Hague, and have learned from him
that much help already has been given the
Beers by the people of Holland. The treas
ury of the society, however, is in a depleted
condition
The 5000 first sent over by the Chicago
association reached the Red Cross Society
a week ago and was Immediately spent for
medicine to be sent the sick and wounded
Later funds will be spent for the organfza-
ton hospital and ambulance corps. A meet
ing to be held January 81 in Steinway Hall
is to be under the auspices of the fund as
ISOLATION. Among those to speak are Miss
Jane Adams, the Rev. Dr. Emil G. Hirsch
the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, S. j. Schuyler
and Clarence S. barrow.

Lost the Taste
FOR ORDINARY COFFEE.

1t is strange how people will try to invent some
cause for their feeling bad rather than to charge
the trouble to some habit they may have that they
have good reason to believe is the real For
instance all the time that were using coffee
our table was subject to occasional terrible head
aches. and my husband was half sick with nervous
troubles.
Eve felt satisfied that coffee was the cause. but
were afraid We wouldn't like Postum Cereal Coffee.
and therefore tried in every way To think that
something in the food, some other reason, was
the real cause Of our troubles, After reading
eIal articles in regard to the evil effects of coffee
drinking, and the merits of Postum Food Coffee l
became convinced Of the truth of the statements,
and called my husbands attention to them
He was skcptical the subject but to please
me, said We would give Postum trial. SO he pro-
cured u package and made it, but the milk we
were using was Of the kind that produced little
cream, and that did not give US good a bever-
age Is we found afterward could be secured with
cream. However. in spite of the drawback. we
grew to like the Postum Food Coffee, and both of
found ourselves greatly benefited by the change
My head ceased to trouble me entirely, and my
husband was practically mada over
I'VE were out OF the Postum for time ard
having coffee in the house and feeling much bet
ter. we concluded to try the coffee again. but in a
few days my headaches came back. so that We be-
came satisfied where the real trouble existed. We
used Postum for quite long time, and still hav-
ing some coffee In the house, tried coffee again.
Imagine our surprise In discovering that We no
longer cared for the taste of ordinary coffee
the next morning We had rare treat, In a cup of
piping hot, delicious Postum
Coffee is no longer Kept in our house. Our chill
dren are very fond of the kind of .toffee,' rs
they call 1t. and We give them as much they
want to drink, without fearing to inJure their
health. 1 ind that 1t enables me TO furnish baby
with more abundant supply of milk than i could
otherwise do. Postum Cereal Food Coffee has In
ed been great boon to our family" Mrs. Mary
Wade, Saybrook. Ohio.
