COFFEE FOR MOTHERS. The Kind That Nourishes ard Supplies Food for Mother and Child.

My husband has been unable to drink coffee for several years, so we were very glad to give Postum Food Coffee a trial, and when we understood that by long boiling it would bring out the delicious flavor, we have been highly pleased with it.
 Tt is one of the finest things for nurs- ing mothers that 1 have ever seen. It keeps up the mothers strength and in creases the supply of nourishment for the child if partaken of freely. I drank it between meals instead of water and found it most beneficial
 Our 5-year-old boy has been very deli cate since birth and has developed slow ly. He was white and bloodless. I began to give him Postum freely. and you would be surprised at the change. When any person remarks about the great improve ment, we. never fail to tell them that we attribute his gain in strength and gen. eral health to the free use of Postum Food Coffee, and this has led many friends to use 1t for themselves and chill dren.
 q have always cautioned friends to whom I have spoken about Postum to follow directions in making it, for unless it is boiled fifteen or twenty minutes 1t is quite tasteless. On the other hand when properly made 1t Is very delicious. 1 want to thank you for the benefits we have derived from the use of your Pos tum Coffee.' Mrs. w. w. Earnest, 727 9th Ave, Helena, Mont.

 Among the numerous trunks and boxes that were removed from the White House today containing the personal ef- fleets of Mrs Mckinley and the late President was a wooden box of consid- erabie size filled to the top with cam paign and committee badges and rib- bons. These are souvenirs oI every na- tional campaign in which Mckinley was ever a candidate, and of his tours, while President. around the continent. While travelling on his Presidential trips some local committeeman at each place he visited always pinned Ladge or rib bon on his coat, and MT. Mckinley pre- served these as mementoes of his nu- merous visits among the people
 After each of his long tours through the South and West there were received at the W mite House many packages con- taining complete collections of badges used on the occasion of his visit to scores of cities and towns. Inese came from Mayors and chairmen of reception com mittees, and some badges were in their way elaborate and handsome. The late Presl~ ~ent's collection of campaign badges is also interesting. especially those of the campaign of 1896. when hundreds of embles to represent the promise of prosperity were devised, and the cam paign of 1900. when the full dinner pair and other devices were wrought in silk and metal. to be worn by Mckinley 8 supporters all over the country.
 MT. Mckinley had four large shields made and covered with these badges, and they were exhibited in his library at the White House. Besides the badges on the shields there were hundreds of others stored away in boxes and draw CTS in his private apartments

Plenty of Cola In klondike.


 Washington Telegram to the New York
 Post.
 From figures published widely a few weeks ago as to the gold receipts at San Francisco and Seattle from the Kiondike and Cape Nome, 1t looked as if the Alas kan gold supplies were falling off badly, although 1t was suggested in these dis patches that it was too early in the sea- son to reach definite conclusion on that point. Today's figures, as given out by the director of the mint, proved that this suggestion was fully warranted. The re- ceipts are so rapidly catching up to those of last year as to make certain that the whole seasons output will not show any decrease For July and August of this year the receipts at San Francisco and Seattle stand $10 205, against $12, SIS, 429 for the same month of 1900. But this has been a remarkably backward season A letter has been received at the treasury from Dr. Whitehead, its agent at Cape Nome, in which he says that on August 5. the day of writing, there was more snow on the ground than on the 17th of June, the year before, when he arrived Some of the best claims were still frozen in. It Is thought that this backwardness of the season accounts for the bad show ing of the earlier months, since not only the mining, but the time consumed in moving the gold to the cities must be taken into account.
 Director Roberts believes that the Klon- dike and Cape Nome will yield gold in quantities for the next twenty-five years.

 "The engine steams we'll" he said, and everything inside the cab Is as clean as lady's parlor. The tank car ries 25O0 gallons of oil, which is the equiv alent of fourteen tons of coal. The aver age locomotive tender carries bet ween six and eight tons of coal. I am convinced that the use of oil as fuel will not only be great saving. but will be very desir- able in other ways.
