Speaking of the Sampson-Schley
matter, Senator Carmack of Tennessee
gives expression to the following
Personally, I have some doubt
whether it will be possible to get the
sources of evidence in the controversy.
The navy department itself has much
at stake in the proceedings, and should
the verdict be in favor of Schley 1t will
be a severe blow to those authorities
of the navy department who have been
responsible for it's policy. These of
hcials, who have the evidence in their
control, will, fear, make it difficult to
get at the whole truth, should that be
unfavorabIe TO themselves"

It is stated that Gen. Alger, former
Secretary of War, has eliminated from
his forthcoming book a whole chapter

OF Maclay and Fighting Bob Evans
before him, the ex-Secretary probably
thinks it safer 70 leave Miles alone
than to stir up his fighting blood.

..CHILDREN AVID FOOLS"
Judge Of a Thing Halt Done"

This is particularly applicable in
cases where persons seriously troubled
from the effects of coffee drinking and
who take up Postum Food Coffee in
its place, attempt to make the new
beverage with Il little hot water and
two or three minutes boiling. That
sort of a lick and a promise" pro
duces a drink that is simply eXasperat-
ing. 1t is fiat and tasteless, whereas
the person who will boil the Postum
full fifteen minutes after the actual
bubbling and boiling begins, will have
a beverage that is something.
There is a point between twelve and
fifteen minutes of boiling. when the
character of Postum is changed. the
food value is extracted and the de-
Jjcious flavor which much resembles
the milder and more expensive grades
of Java coffee is produced.

West, to which he had responded in
the affirmative. on the next day he had
