"A LOVELY DAY"
Nothing to Cry About.

Coffee broke down my nervous sys-
ten so completely that | was almost
beside myself and would cry at the
least thing.
cone day n person said: Lovely day
isn't il p ] burst into tears like a silly
fool Finally we decided it would be
best for me to take a little rest: SO we
prepared to break up the home my
husband, our little child and loved so
well. and go away until my health was
improved.
"Nhile away ] met n lady who On
account of Indigestion had for some
time past been living for months on
broths and the like, but who at this
time fortunately for her, had quit
coffee and was using Postum. and at
the time | became acquainted with her
had got so well she was eating ary-
thing and everything she desired with
no bad effects. She even carried the
Postum with her whenever she went on
visit.
This living testimonial was enough
to convince me the Postum letters have
mort truth than poetry in them. so L
decided to quit coffee and try Postum
myself. 1t was certainly interesting as
we'll as surprising to note the effects
the change wrought in me. At he first
the coffee had such a strong hold on me
to discontinue it affected me as the CIV
ing up of opium might n constant user
OF the drug. but this gradually wore
away and within one week / felt Ike

you look and aren't you getting Stout

less than ) months l tipped the scales
at 1a5 and l am now healthy, ard
strong again and have not felt so well
for years since drinking Postum and
doing away with coffee which was I'M
dermining not only my own but my

not go back to coffee for anything on
earth. We are now back again TO orr

Those who suppose that the umbrel-
la is modern continuance will be sur
prised to learn that umbrellas may be
found sculptured on some of the Egyp-
tan monuments and on the Nineveh
ruins. That umbrellas bearing a close
resemblance to those of today, were in
use long before the Christian era. is
shown by their representation in the
designs on ancient Greek vases. The
umbrella made its first appearance in
London about the middle OF the 18th
century, when one Jonas Hanway, II
is said. thus protected himself from the
weather at the cost of much ridicule.

Stevens. an old naval officer. But he
errs when he says there never was
known to be even a ripple on the sur
face OF their friendship" Gen. Knox
was, 1t is true, one of Washington's
trusted commanders, and his first Sec
rotary OF War, in 1889, but in 1898, when
ex-Preeident Washington was made
lieutenant general and commander-in-
chief Of the armies. Gen. Knox be-
came offended because he was not
given the highest position in Washing
toms selection of generals and refused
to serve under him. Then il was that
Gen. Chas. G. Pinckney of South Caro-
lima, generously offered to serve where
ever Washington chose to put him
without regard to his previous rank.
Capt. Stevens is evidently not fully
posted in regard to this period in the
life of Gen. Knox. While Il is true
Washington, and held many important
positions under him until he became
Secretary of War. 1t is not true that
there never was ripple on the sur
face Of their friendship" Washing
ton scored him for Kicking out of the
traces" because Of lower rank.

known Baptist divine OF Eufaula, says

Point Tin 1928, No. % in a class Of
thirty-three. Not one Of his class
mates became distinguished" Through
ignorance OF their records Rev. Dr.
w. has done great injustice to some
of the bravest and most patriotic
young officers that ever graduated at
West Point. Eighteen Of this class OF
only thirty-three, died comparatively
young, while at least dozen of this
number we're very young and stu in
the army, when they gave their lives
to their country, several OF them in
the bloody Indian wars in Florida. As
to those who lived to a ripper age, / can
positively assert that several Of them
became distinguished" The head of
the class was the learned author, AL
bert y. Church, LID; No. was Gen.
Rich G. Tilghman OF Maryland; No.
was Gen. Hugh w. Mercer OF Virginia,
well-known to Savannah readers and

/ might have added that the late emil

Orleans was guilty OF a similar slip
in an address in which he alluded to
the Conflict which ended at Appomat-
tox under the apple tree" Ar
ticles are still being written and pub
lished to prove that Gen. Andrew
Jackson was born in South Carolina,
and not in North Carolina, as claimed
by some biographers. Gen. John
Charles Fremont also has two birth
places given characterization and Sa-
vannah. The same is true Of Gen.
David Hunter who was supposed to
have been Virginian, but officially
credited to the District Of Columbia,
while his relatives say he was born
in New Jersey. So far as l know, not
one OF these distinguished men correct
ca the error and settled the question or
birthplace before his death.

There is nothing on earth, in the
heavens above, or under the ocean,
more ridiculous then some OF the red
tape" rules and regulations Of the
quartermaster's department OF the
United States army. / once wrote up
Hines Trousers" burnt on tent in
South Carolina. The regimental quar-
termaster issued him a new pair with
out any red tape" measure, and the
War Department refused to allow him
credit. Several boards" were put on
the case but II finally went to Con-
gress, and Gen. McCook, then a mem
Der from New York, made a report that
showed the matter as too ridiculous for
even a negro minstrel burlesque. That
pair Of trousers cost the government
in the end-one or two thousand dol
lars. And now comes a court-martial
of Lieut.. Kits, y. s. A., for trading
an old blackboard and twenty-eight
dollars for a new blackboard Lieut..
Love, the judge advocate, claimed that
the money was lOL Astu LOT the DuI~
pose II was appropriated to, the re-
pairs OF the old blackboard. Now Lieut..
Kits could not get the repairs made
I'm due time, and so traded for the new
blackboard. OF course he was acquit-
ted but Lieut.. Love was not sent TO
a lunatic asylum. These two cases are
only samples Of the absurd and ex-
pensive manner in which red tape"
prevails In the regular army.
