WHAT THE JACKIEs EAT.
Fewer DesertfOns From Navy Since
Last Change of RatiOns.

Fewer Desertions From Navy Since
Last Change of RatiOns.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
In order to makes the American sail
ors' lives as happy as is possible under
the rules of the Navy Department, and
with a view to eliminate causes of de-
sertion, the Secretary of the Navy a
little over a year ago ordered an ad-
dition to their rations and the prepar-
alton of their food by regulation cooks
that the meats be served in a more ap-
petizing manner. This innovation has
been in force a little over a year now,
and, according to Navy Department
authorities, has borne good fruit
Complaints against the food served
in the navy before the change took
place were an everyday occurrence, but
have now almost entirely ceased.
There is more contentment among
Uncle Sans tars now, and their chosen
career seems to have more attraction
for them" said a high official of the
Navy Department recently, land deser-
tons are decidedly on the decrease.
This is due entirely to the improve
ment in his subsistence department.
The Navy Department, by its last
change, so added to Jackie's ration
that his meal actually has a present
money value of 80 cents. BY these adj
ditions the Navy Department authori-
ties expect to build up a lot of sea-
faring men as sturdy and as enduring
as the Norseman. The men are still
allowed to commute one-fourth of the
rations, a pleasing variety capable of
maintaining the health and well-being
of the men in any climate.
Jackie is now wholly subsisted at
Uncle Sans expense, and no contribu-
tions are allowed out of the mems pock-
cts, even on high days and holidays
For these occasions turkey, fowl and
fresh meats are bought through the
government allowance, and this saves
much Of the gorging that heretofore
has generally caused an enlarged sick
list and heavy run on the ships stock
of paregoric, ginger and the like, for
Jackie, after all, is often only child
of larger growth.
Milk, condensed generally, forms a
part of the new ration, and bareback
is issued but once a week, while can
ned roast beef and mutton, not relish
ed by the enlisted force, had to give
way to appetizing ham or shoulder,
timed bacon and canned salmon.
Sauerkraut and pickles are on the bill
of fare. An emergency ration is sup
piled for landing parties and for use
in the drills abandon ship" and arm
and away"

by Uncle Sam, and the mess attend

HOW ALICE DID 1T.

Learned to Follow Instructions.
at puzzled Mother nightly one morn
ing after a return from visiting some
friends. She had suffered terribly
from sleeplessness caused by coffee
drinking, and of course general nerv-
BUSINESS and stomach trouble followed.
Some one told her to quit coffee and
use Postum Food Coffee, but the first
morning it was served to her it was so
insipid and weak that she gave it up and
went to drinking hot water for she
did not care for tea or cocoa.
About this time I went visiting, and
during the conversation in reply to an
inquiry about Mothers health told Of
her sleeplesS nights and general con-
dition, and of the failure of the new
drink that we tried.
ct observed that my friends looked
rather knowing and wise at this state
ment but thought nothing more of it
at the time.
I'm the morning at breakfast was
served with a most delicious cup Of
coffee which 1 drank with great
pleasure, but / noticed my hostess
watching me carefully, finally asked
for second cup and she
burst out. laughing and re-
marked so your folks don't
like Postum was astonished, and said
This is not Postum is it?' She sent
for the package in order to satisfy me
and it was exactly like the one Mother
had. Then / learned that our failure
was caused from not boiling it long
enough, SO when 1 reached home
told Mother 1 had found a new drink
for her and I went into the kitchen
and made it from her old package Of
Postum. She was so delighted with
the new drink that I told her it was
Postum, and it was amusing to see her
preplexity. She looked at the package
and read it over. At last she said Alice
how did you ever do it?' I said by
simply following the directions She
exclaimed, why did not know there
were any directions, 1t seems the
cook had not looked at the package
but just brewed it with little hot
water like she would tea, and that
will not make good Postum. 1t must
be boiled just as the directions say,
then the flavor is delicious.
1.-THE next day Mother was to give
a little coffee party and we served Pos
tum, instead of coffee. The ladies were
all delighted with 1t, and we now
have 'Postums' instead of 'Cotfees,'
and it would astonish anyone to hear
the experience of the different ladies
as to how well they feel and how
soundly they sleep at night since they
have adopted Postum instead Of the old
fashioned coffee, and particularly since
they have followed directions" Name

CITIZENS MARCHING CLUB
Headquarters Ready-Arranging For
Opening Parade.

opening Pura0es
The contractors have turned over
the headquarters for the Citizen s
Marching Club. in the Whitfield build
ing and the committee on furnishing
ready for the opening day, April 80.
The club rooms will be. when furnish
ed, as handsome as any in Savannah,
and all manner of games and amuse-
ments will be provided, besides read
ing and writing rooms, places for meet
ings, etc. The opening will be charac-
terized first by big parade, that will
surpass in numbers any thing of a
similar kind ever seen here, and con-
clude with reception to members and
guests at the club rooms.
Arrangements are progressing salts
factorily for the parade and from all
indications there will be over 1000 men
in line. The line win be led by Presi-
dent A. A. Lawrence, First Vice Presi-
dent r. ]. Davant, Mayor Herman
Myers, Solicitor General w. w. Os-
borne and many members of the Board
of Aldermen, city state and county
officials will have prominent places in
the line of march and it will be one
of the most representative bodies OF
men that has probably ever been seen
on the city streets. There will be
three brass bands and plenty of red,
blue and green fire used during the
march. The route will be from the
Whitfield building on Whitaker street,
to Broughton, east to Bull, out Bull
to Castor, around the square and
back to headquarters. No doubt the
streets will be thronged to witness
the parade.
Upon returning to the club rooms
refreshments will be served and a short
address will be made by Mayor Myers.
The Citizens Marching Club is or
gan1zed to boom Savannah, and will
devote its energies to spreading the
best news of the city far and wide.
After the parade and the grand open
ing of the club house arrangements
will be made for the visit to Atlanta
in June. This will be when the Legis-
lature meets and while on the way the
club will stop in Macon.
The special committee has purchased
1000 Marching Club buttons, and these
have been quickly taken up. "A second
order will be placed at once, also an
order Tor some more expensive buttons.
The emblem of the club is a game cock
and the committee expects that before
June l there will be 1000 patriotic citi-
zens wearing the emblem.
The Hall Committee of the club has
been called to meet this week to elect
games and furnishings for the club
rooms. They will be we'll appointed
and kept open for club members at
all times.
The Membership Committee has re-
ported $500 members and a steady in
crease. The finances Of the club are
understood to be in excellent shape,
and there is every reason to believe
that it will become one of the most
popular of the permanent institutions
of the city. All members who have
signed application cards are expected
to turn out for the opening parade
and reception on the evening of April
