AT LiNcOLN'S HOME,
A Springfield Woman's Letter.

A lady at Springfield, ILL.,, writes re-
gardlng her coffee experience an in
tereSting letter from the home Of the
great President:
"A few years ago became so terri
bly, run down in health that I made up
my mind coffee had something to do
with it so gave it up and drank Pos
tum instead. since which time | have
steadily gained in health, strength ana
cheerfulness. Life holds so much more
| than it did before.
Postum made it easy to give I'D cof-
fee as it will for everyone who makes
Postum according to the directions On
package. Postum and Grape-Nuts
have been our steady diet for break
fast for some years and nothing could
ever induce our family to return to the
use of coffee. 1t is bilious in its ten
dency making one yellow and morosa.
and very many citizens in this old
home city of the immortal Lincoln. who
was great cold water man, have
awakened to this fact. EVERYWHERE
we see in the grocery stores Postum
and Grape Nuts which means there is
demand for these pure, nourishing ar
ticles and that the people are usin.
them very extensively. This augurs
FOR health and longer life and more
usefulness.
Il knew a number who complained
of Postum at first because it was not
boiled long enough but when thcv
learned how to prepare it according "a
directions on the package they would
ask for no more palatable drink. 7
could name to you not less than 40 we'll
known people of this place who have
been helped by leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum" Name given bv
Postum Co., Battle Creek. Mich.

tie book, THE Road to Wellville."

FREE ENTRANCE TO FAIR.
Newsboys and Orphans Enjoy the Hos
pitality of Directors.

ST LOUIS, August 16. Worlds Fair
Grounds-The newsboys of the country
were granted the privileges of the world s
fair today. and the gates were thrown
open for the free admission of throngs
of diminutive paper sellers and also to
over a thousand orphans from various
charitable institutions.
Probably one of the most interesting fea-
lures of the day the band concert
on the plaza of st. Louis, rendered by the
bands of four newsboys organizations. A
drill by newsboys followed, in which the
Boston boys. 100 strong. In natty white
sailor uniforms, and the Pittsburg boys
bearing red. white and blue umbrellas, car
ried off the honors. A meeting was held
In festival hall, at which President Francis
extended hearty welcome TO all the little
visitors.
John +. Gunckel. president of the To-
ledo Newsboys Association then made an
address, in which he outlined the work Of
the parent organization in Toledo. A num-
Der of other speeches followed by publish
ers from different cities. The meeting
closed with the organization of a National
Newsboys Association.

DEALING WITH coNTRABAND.
Russian Regulations Defining Rights
of Warships.

LONDON August 16.-What Is consid-
cred in government circles here to be not
the least important feature of the latest
British note. delivered to Russia today.
is that dealing with the question OF con-
traband Great Britain reiterates the sus-
sestion verbally made by Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne to Count Benkendorn'
the Russian ambassador to Great Britain.
that the regulations issued by the en-
peror defining the rights of Russian war
ships toward neutral vessels carrying al
legged contraband should be modified. and
particularly urges revision OF the list
OF articles declared contraband.
Because of her dependence on foreign
countries for food Great Britain made an
especially strong objection to the inclu-
sion of rice and foodstuffs generally.
During the exchanges of communications
1t has been the contention of Russia that
In her regulations such fOOdStuffS only be-
come contraband if intended for war
purposes, or II sent at an enemy's cost or
order
Russia further points out that this is
along the lines laid down by the United
States in the case OF the steamer Mashona
at the time of the Boer war. Russia also
represented to Great Britain the difficulty
In determining the real destina ton of a
cargo. because private firms in Japan are
acting in behalf of the government
The officials of the foreign Office are ret
icent as to the length the government has
gone In respect to the status of foOdstuffs
in time of war, but ii is said in a reliable
yend the position laid down in the Mashona
case. and that all foodstuffs are now prac-
ucally declared in the British view to be
not liable to seizure. If this statement
proves correct continental diplomats say
the declaration will meet with cold re-
ception on the continent

tion In relation to the threatened injuries
to Pacific coast commerce with the orient
on account of the Russo-Japanese war.

because Of the recent defeats of the Rus

tinue as long as the war lasts. A committee
has been appointed to draw up resolutions
which will be forwarded to Secretary of
State Hay and also to confer with the officers
of the Pacific Mail Company. The Pacific
Mail Company has reported the charter

Insanitary Car Seats.
From the Chicago Record Herald.

The Kentucky state board of health. in
its war on insanitary conditions in railway
coaches, will receive godspeed from every
railroad passenger in whatever part of the
country who stops to think of the dangers
of dirt and disease to which he is sub
jected. The plush seat Is the central evil
which the Kentucky board is attacking. 1t
has been placed under state ban. and the
board proposes to indict every railroad OF
ficial 1t can reach in the state who can by
any possibility be held responsible for oper-
ating cars with such seat coverings. Either
leather or cane is permitted as substi-
tute The requirement extends both TO
sleepers and day coaches. There is no ques-
ton but that the plush seat is one OF the
finest receptacles for filth that could be
devised. The dust that blows in through
the open car windows is caught and held
fast and If any disease germs are in the
air they are pretty sure to find camping
out place on the plush until human victim
comes along.

Tobacco Trust Weakens,
From the Providence Journal


The tobacco trust Is in retreat 1t under
took to drive Independent manufacturers
out of the market by refusing to jobbers the
discount rebate that constituted their
profit on trust goods if they handled the
products of independent factories. At first
it proposed to take at list prices such
stocks of independent goods as the jobbers
had on hand, but now 1t has notified the
latter that they may sell these Independent
goods and get their drawback provided they
comply with trust requirements in all other
respects. Encouraged by this concession
the Independent manufacturers are now
preparing to push their goods through the
offered loophole. and many of the jobbers
are declaring that they will continue to
handle the Independent goods even after
the stocks on hand are disposed OF. There
Is to be an appeal to the public, and the re-
tailers are showing some disposition to
stand by the independents. 1t Is thus pos
sible that this trust, which has till now
found no hindrance in the application of its
restraints on trade, may be fractured. If not
busted" without any change in the plans
of the administration in the matter Of run
ming amuck.
