A Pungent Food Drink
WITH THE TASTE OF COFFEE.

Perhaps one has suffered more from the
Of coffee failed oftener In the attempt leave
II on tnan have. Although never drank more
than half cup at time, it then gave ne
sour stomach and whole catalogue Of misery.
This kept up for long period and time and again
l have resolved that l positively would drink
more coffee. but alas. the rest of the family used
it, and, like the reformed drunkard who smells
whiskey and falls again. when / smeled coffee /
could resist II.
Finally to try Postum Food Coffee and
my trouble There 1 had my
favorite beverage-a crisp dark brown, rich coffee
with fine pungent coffee taste, and yet with no
sour stomach nervous troubles after It, On the
contrary, have gained gradually in strength and
sturdy health All who have spoken to me about
Postum agree, and We have found 1T so, that the
directions for making must be followed and it
must be boiled at least fifteen minutes or more
and it also requires the addition of good cream
We have tried boiling 1t a few minutes when in
special hurry. but found 1t nsipid and unsatisfac
tory; whereas by proper boiling 1t is dark and
rich with delightful favor.
Or Mcmillan Of Sunbeam. ILL.,, said he had
used Postum and found it to be just good as
coffee and more heslthful. He is NJ. D. Of fine
standing. Mr.. David Strong and sister have left
on coffee and are using Postum They find 1t
much more healthful. Rev. W. T. Campbell, pas
tor of the Second United Presbyterian Church Of
this city, says: You may say anything good
will substantiate IT. He was a very great lover
OF coffee and yet found 1t very injurious to his
health He now drinks Postum three times
day and the old troubles have disappeared.
Il shrink from having my name appear in public
The statement have given you is truthful and l
hope will aid some people TO discover that coffee
is the cause Of their aches and ais and they are
in way TO get rid OF their troubles by leaving of
coffee and taking up Postum Food Coffee"

Mr.. Reed viii Not Speak.

A dispatch from Portland. Me, says:
Chairman Joseph H. Manley, having re-
ceived from Thomas B. Reed no response to
the republican state committees invitation
for him to join the small army Of cam
paign orators that is to invade Maine this
fall. the two committeeman representing
Mr.. Reeds old district were delegated to
have personal interview with him on the
subject.
Charles NJ. Moses of Saco, one of the
committeeman, visited Mr.. Reeds cottage
at Grand Beach, and had a long interview
with him. Mr.. Reed is said to have in
formed Mr.. Moses that he is enjoying his
seashore outing altogether too well to ex =
change 1t for a wearisome jaunt over Maine
railroads and turnpikes; that he is taking
a rest from politics and has no idea Of get
ting into the thick of campaign In which
he has nothing at stake.
The committee has given up trying to in
duce Mr.. Reed to stump the district or
state. and has made public list of speak
ers and assignments for the campaign.

1t is understood that the republican COM
mittees will do in all German communities
just what was done in southern Illinois,
and they are confident that the result
everywhere will be what ii was there They
are not alarmed about the cry of imperial
ism 50 long as they know they can meet it
by statement of the real conditions be-
fore election day
On the other hand 1t is said that reports
so far as they have been received at all
indicate that the free silver issue is still a
live one among those Germans who voted
for sound money" in 1886. Republican
managers are satisfied that they will con-
tinue to be against Bryan and against
the democratic party as long as that party
continues to place a free silver plank in its
platform.

Action of Republican Managers.

Action of Republican Managers.
When the republicans lately became aware
of the feeling among this class of German
born voters in southern Illinois they sent
speakers among them, and these speakers
carried on campaign of education. They
gave the Germans the statistics regarding
the military arm of the United States and
compared it to that of Germany They
showed them what a small army this coun-
try of I5.W0,oO people maintains in time
of peace and how insignificant is its mill
pared with the army of Germany, of lit
tie more than one-half of its population
They showed them that here nothing
was to be gained by war and explained
how freely the voters of the country could
chop off the official heads of men bent on
military ACKNOWLEDGEMENT if such men
should arise. Then there was a very per-
ceptible change of feeling among those
Germans who Endorsed republican princi-
pes. but who feared that perhaps the re-
publican party involved some danger of
a military government. They saw that
wherever the army has been only justice
and a better government than formerly was
given the people was carried. They were
satisfied that they had been imposed on by
those who were ready to take advantage
of their ignorance of the country. They
had been asked if they wanted to see
military government established in the
United States and be drafted in the army
and they had promptly revolted from such
proposition. When they were shown that
such a danger did not exist their attitude
was changed at once.

Situation in the West.

In portions of the west, however, the sit
uation is different In many localities there
are thousands of men of German birth
whose residence in Germany is of so re-
cent date that they have impressed upon
them the hardships of a military govern
ment. and many of them left the father
land in order to avoid military service.
When the cry of miiitarism was raised it
made them stand and wonder. They were
ready by every means in their power TO
check the progress of any movement that
seemed likely 20 usher into their adopted
country conditions abhorrent to them, and
because of which some of them left Ger
many. They formed fertile soil for the
seed of fears implanted by the eloquent
speaker or the vivid writer. The idea of
the danger of an imperialistic government
being spread among them, they considered
it and condemned ii. With many of
them there was little knowledge of America
or the American people. Some of them
could speak only their own language, or,
at least could talk freely only in their
mother tongue. They were students of
American Institutions and students in the
primary classes. They were naturally af-
fected by any declarations they heard and
their fear was taken up by democratic man
ayers and held up before the country as a
reason why Mckinley would be opposed by
Germans.
