COFFEE DISPLAY EXTENSIVE
South and Central America Exploit
Their Great Product-Porto
Rico Represented.

The value of the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton as an advertising institution and
school of instruction is fully appre-
ciated by the great coffee growing
countries of South and Central Amer
lea. These countries are showing
their coffees to the thousands of
Worlds Fair visitors and creating new
demands for. the better varieties pro
duced, which now find a. market at
home or in England and Germany. =
The countries claim as: great merit
for their high grade coffees as is pos
sessed by the famous Mocha and Java,
and they seek to- give the public an
object lesson lin the use of coffee.
Brazil serves coffee every afternoon to
all visitors at the Brazil building,
free of charge, in order that they may
sample better grade of Rio.
Porto Rico. also has sa extensive
coffee exhibit, with the hope Of pro.
noting larger trade with it's new

LEARNING THINGS
We Are All in the Apprentice Glass.

When simple change of diet brings
back health and happiness the story is
briefly told. A lady of Springfield, ILL.,,
says: after being afflicted for years
with nervousness and heart trouble, I
received shock four years ago that
left me in such a condition. that my
life was despaired of. I could get mo-
relief from doctors nor from the num-
berless heart and nerve medicines
tried because I didn't know that the
coffee was daily putting me back more
than the Drs. could put me ahead.
Finally at the request of a friend +
left off coffee and began the use Of
Postum and against my convictions I
gradually improved in health until for
the past 6 or 8 months have been
entirely free from nervousness r, and
those terrible sinking, weakening
spells Of heart trouble. -. q. -, &
my troubles all came from the rise
OF coffee which /. drunk from childhood
and yet they disappeared when quit
cofee and took up the use of Postum -
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. -.-%. ~ r.
Many people marvel at the effects Of
leaving of coffee and drinking Postum
but there is nothing marvellous about

HERE are some people who
still assert that the United
s tates obtained nothing,
through the annexation OF
!. the philinnines hit a. lot of

naked savages. 4 In spite of
the governments display at the Worlds
Fair, which shows, in addition to the
four wild tribes. the refined Visayans
with their beautiful fabrics and
their delicate embroideries, the loyal
brown soldiers of Uncle Sam and
the cultured commissioners; and Off
Gals, there are some purblind indi-
v1duals who refuse to see that the Fill
pino is anything but nuisance and
q menace to our country.
That he could be capable Of civiliza-
ton and uplifting seems utterly ridic-
ulous to-those who have studied him?
No, to the class who dare not visit
the Philippine reservation at the
Worlds Fair for fear Of being con-
WINGED against their will. That a
great many OF the natives Of the is
lands could already be cultured and
refined would be set down as utterly
preposterous by this class.
The soreheads need not be bound
and carried by violence across the fac
smile Bridge of Spain, through the
Walled City to the heart Of the most
wonderful section of the entire ex-
position. They should only be enticed
to listen for an hour to the playing of
the Constabulary band. No man with
an ounce of appreciation in his soul
could hear that band without being
convinced that the 81 men who com.
pose it's membership are far above the
ordinary in both intelligence and senti.
ment. A nation or a race may be
judged by it's music. A natural feel
ing for rhythm and harmony is not
an attribute of a chaotic or unbalanced
mind. 1t is discord that leads the way
to senseless vandalism and causeless
rebellion
In behalf of the Filipino it mus be
said that he is a natural musician.
Even the savage head-hunters, in their
peculiar tribal dances, manifest a re-
markable feeling for rhythm. There
is none Of the Indians wild noise and
broken time in their beating of brass
tomtoms and their somewhat monoto-
nous singing. They possess the mus
ical instinct that, with time and. train
ing, may be developed into just what
the members of the two Philippine
bands already possess.
The Scout band is an exceptionally
good military band. s:ch as we have
heard before; The Constabulary band
Is in a class by itself. It is not to be
compared with any Of the other ex.
position bands. It's concerts are held
daily in the large bandstand in the
Philippine plaza, and those who have
heard one concert will gladly forsake
the most interesting exhibit and walk
the entire distance from the heart OF
the grounds to the reservation in or
der to hear another.
The men who compose the constabu
larry and who have done so much tt
promote law and order in the islands
are to be distinguished from the ma
tives in the regular army by their uni
forms. The military Filipino wear.

the khaki. } It is these; little men in
yellow attire who have come to the
Worlds Fair to show Americans what
we, as a nation, have really acquired
as an accidental result of Admiral
Dewey's spectacular victory
The members Of the Constabulary
band were all finished musicians be-
fore Lieut.. Loving, their leader, took
them inland. Each one was an artist
in his own line, and alt them. had
seen service in the military bands Of
the. Spanish regime. However. there
was a tremendous task for the band;
master. The men possessed execution
without idea G They could read; notes
faultlessly, and could keep perfect
time; but that is only a small part
of concerted playing. ~ i 4 T.: !
Naturally quick to catch new ideas,
they soon grasped the meaning Of the
attack" on which the effect of q
bands work so largely depends. Then
they learned all the mysteries Of shad-
ing, from the most delicate tone to the
most powerful crescendo, and It is in
this that their playing is so marvellous.
In the tender, sympathetic passages Of
a selection tie tone is subdued to the
most exquisite murmur, from which It
rises, without a crash and without q
blare, sweeping majestically upward
and onward, until the enraptured
listener is engulfed IN a mighty bill
low Of sound. Nothing could be more
inspiring than the burst of melody in
such climax as that which occurs in
the sextette of Lucia, and no band ever
handled its climaxes better.
In the most powerful tone, there is
not the slightest suggestion of brassi-
ness. It is all liquid music This is
due almost wholly to the Instruments
ton, which is absolutely faultless.
More than half the instruments are
reeds, and instead of the large mum.
Der of saxaphones, the instrumental.
ton includes four sarrusaphones and
two sousaphones. Moreover, the clari-
nets are not used merely for accom-
paniraent, but actually carry the sec.
ond voice.
The music produced is not simply
that Of brass band, but is varied for
effect to resemble strings, human
voices and even the pipe organ.
Among the players there are several
excellent violinists, and the personnel
of the band is sometimes, rearranged
into an orchestra Of 20 men and also
into a guitar glee club.
- The leader, Lieut.. Loving, Is ma
tive of st. Paul, and a graduate Of tie
New England conservatory of music
To his genius and devotion much Of
the success of the Constabulary band
is due.
Would that every American either
might listen to one of his matches
programmes, drink in all the harmony
and all the splendor Of the best bant
in the United States, yes, and stay tt
the close. The close is the most i'm
pressive part of the concert. No one
could listen to the playing of "Tht
Star Spangled Banner by that bant
of Filipinos, the pavilion surrounded
by other Fillpinos, their hats ove1
their hearts and their heads bowed, AMI
doubt that they are Loyalty American.
