DOUBTFUL OF MILES
Prohibitionists on Eve of Con-
 vention at Indianapolis.
GENERAL AWAITS ST. LOUIS VERDICT
Leading Anti1iauor Men Want Defi- mite Statement as to Soldiers Sentiments, but Fail to
 Get It.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 28.-In- dianapolis Prohibitionists last night held a meeting which proved an in troduction to the national convention. It was attended by upward of 100 wis., Itors who have arrived for the conven- ton, besides a large crowd of Indian apolis citizens. William Frost Crespin of Akron, O.; State Chairman Charles R. Jones of Pennsylvania, National Chairman Stewart and others spoke
 National Chairman Stewart, H. B. Metcalf of Rhode Island, Prohibition ist vice presidential candidate four years ago; Charles R. Jones of Penn sylvania, c. E Newiin, Indiana chair man, and L. w. Clark, secretary of Indiana, and other leaders of the party took a prominent part.
 MT. Metcalf said that when party of ten Prohibitionists, of which he was one, called on General Nelson A. Miles the general evaded questions and wish ed the convention postponed until after the Democratic convention. This, it is said, has been his policy since that time MT. Metcalf said that in his opinion the New England states would demand a man who would make pos- five statement of his position, and un- less General Miles should make one they would vote against him.
 National Chairman Stewart said: General Miles is an able man. He has been consistent friend of the an tiliQuor movement and in broad sense is a Prohfbitionist. But those who are pressing forward his name for the presidential nomination by our party this year do not say how he stands on the methods of the Prohibition party.
 There are probably 100000 voters in the United States who believe in prohibition, but we have never boiled on a national ticket more than 300, votes. We not only want a man who believes in prohibition, but we want man who believes in the policy and methods of the Prohibition party. Neither General Miles nor his friends have said that he is a Prohibitionist in that sense, and there are many Prohi- bitionists who believe it wise to nomi- nate man who has been Prohibitions list in the party sense of the word In the past"

A lady Gays: postum has helped
my complexion so much that my
friends say am growing young again.
My complexion used to be coffee col
ored, muddy and yellow, but it is now
clear and rosy as when I was a girl.
I was induced to try Postum by a
friend who had suffered just as I had
suffered from terrible Indigestion, pal
pitation Of the heart and sinking
spells.
AFTER I had used Postum a week I
was so much better that I was afraid
It would not last. But now two years
have passed and am we'll woman.

drinking Postum in its place.
IT had drank coffee all my life. I
suspected that it was the cause of my
trouble; but it was not until actually
quit coffee and started to try Postum
that I became certain; then all my
troubles ceased and am now well and
strong again" Name furnished by
