 Soldiers.


 This is the first war Great Britain has fought against white enemies with out buying foreigners to fight for Us. says 3 London paper. Until less than 50 years ago, when we had war on hand. we sent officials to Germany. and all over Europe TO engage men 70 fgat for Us. The men engaged. were most ly old soldiers and were hired to fight until the war vas finished. h I756 an invasion oE England VAS feared, so 5000 Hessians were hired to come and defend these shores against Che ex- Peeted attack These hfreIings were paid a5 the British rate Of pay. and for every man of them killed their king vas paid 50 much per head Even against the American eolonises Hes sian troops were employed. No won der our -Englishmen were en- ragged at sh5s shameless action. The landgrave Of Hesse was paid g, 855, = 900 fa per cent stock for the Hes- sIaHs lost D the war Of independence This Eas 5he amount of s150 per man. The Irish rebellion af IT98 vas put down chiefly bY Hessian hifeliags.. the long struggle with Napoleon we freely hired foreigners, but the bGlk of the work was done by British sol- diers. Wellington found that he could not rely oB his mercenary gangs too much. Tn 1904 the Kings German Ie- g5on6 of 10000 men was formed. Two years later the force was increased by 5000 men. Besides Germans from all the petty states. there were also en- listed French royalists expelled by Na- poleons Garsieans, Greeks, Italians. Turks. Portuguese. Belgians, FTungarf- ans and Swiss. At Waterloo. Yelling tons army of 67000 was made up of only 22,00o British, and the rest were Dutch. BrunsWiekers, Hanoverfans and NassaHmen. When peace came in 1914 there were no less than 10000 hired foreigners forming corps Ia the British army. The Crimean war was the last time Britain had to go a-hiriag sol dlers. Thirty thousand men had been sent to the Crimea and more were wanted. So the government vent to parliament with bill authorizing the enlistment of 10000 Germans. 5380 Swiss and 5000 italians. at British rates of pay.

Then l commenced 10 drink coffee

..One day l told a friend about it, who
said if l would stop drinking coffee alto
gether l would feel better, and advised me
10 use Postum Food Coffee in its place.
81 tried the Postum but did not like it.
so | told him about it and he said l didn't
cook it right, that is. didn't boil it enough
and that l should use cream instead of
milk, and TO make sure would use it, he
sent a package to the house
After l used that package, would
have no more coffee in the house. Now
l don't know what il is TO have dyspepsia
and l can eat anything. l also give
Postum 10 my TWO children and they are
