SALOONS HAVE TO GO
Or Else the BremertOn Navy Yard
 Will Be Idle.

Washington, D. C., May 25.-Until he is satisfied with conditions at Br2mer- ton. Washington, in the vicinity of the navy yard, Acting Secretary Darling will direct that no more ships be ord cred there for repair or docking. Tele- graphic instructions have been sent to the Pacific squadron. which was about to proceed to Bremerton for repairs, to remain at San Francisco until further orders. and Mir. Darling has wired Cap tain Blocker, the acting comma ndant at Bremsrton. regarding the truth of newspaper, reports that the Bremerton town council had declined to approve the revoking of the licenses of the sal cons and gambling houses on Front street and that these places are still m operation.
 If these reports be true. Acting Sec retary Darling says. the department has been misled Some time ago, be- cause of the evil influences which ln- vestigaticn showed existed directly outside the Bremerton yard, an crder was issued that no more ships be sent there until this condition was remedled. Although powerful political influence was brought to bear in the deI-"rtmeht tC revoke this order Acting Secretary Darling stood his ground, and not untll the Bremerton authorities officially in formed him that the licenses TOT all sa- Icons and gambling houses on Front street had been revoked and these places closed did he consent that the gunboat Ranger go there for docking That vessel has just arrived at Bfen- erton.
 MT. Darling desires that whenever practicable the yard at Bremerton shall be kept busy, but he is deterTnln- ed that American sailors shall not De subjected to evil influences such as have existed just outside the gates of the Bremerton navy yard. If 1t be found that the town council has re- fused to revoke the licenses for saloons, etc, the department will discontinue all work at Bremerton until assured that Front street has been cleaned up to it's satisfaction, regardless of any and all political pressure.

MEAL TIME CONSCIENCE. What Do the Children Drink?

There are times when mother or fath- CT feeds the youngsters something that they know children should not have. Perhaps it is some rich dessert but more often it is tea or coffee. Some compromise by putting in so much hot water that there is not much tea or coffee left but even that little is pretty certain to do harm. It leads to bigger doses. Then come the coffee ills.
 It is better to have some delicious, hot, food drink that you can take your self and feed to your children conscious that it will help and strengthen and never hurt them. A lady of Oneida, N. Y, says: II used coffee many years in spite of the conviction that it injured my nervous system and produced my nervous headaches. While visiting a friend I was served with Postum but it was not well made, still I determined to get a package and try it myself and after following directions carefully the result was all that could be desired; a delicious, finely favored, richly col ored beverage. Since I quit coffee Postum has worked wonders for me.
 My husband, who always suffered from kidney trouble when drinking coffee quit the coffee and took up Pos tum with me and since drinking Pos tum he has felt stronger and better with no indication of kidney trouble.
 You may be sure I find it great comfort to have a warm drink at meals that | can give my children with a clear conscience that it will help them and not hurt them as coffee or tea would.'' Name furnished by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

Miller, assistant attorney in the office of the assistant attorney general for the postoffice de pertinent for accepting a bribe in con- nection with the case of John J. Ryan & Company, charged with fraudulent use of the mails. Miller was taken to i the city hall tonight and placed under arrest by a deputy marshal. He waived continuation and was released on S1. 300 bonds for his appearance in court at Cincinnati next autumn. The warrant, it was learned late tonight, charges conspiracy instead of bribery, as first reported. A warrant on the same charge has been issued for the arrest of Joseph M. Johns, a lawyer of Rockville, Park county, Indiana. Miller came here from TerTe Haute, Indiana about two years ago. He was appointed by for mer Assistant Attorney General James N.

These decisions declared the concerns named to be free to use the mails. The Arnold decision, it is stated, was signed by As sistant Attorney General Tyner.
