SUBMARINE BOAT DISASTER
UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT AT
ST. PETERSBURG.
Twenty-One Russians Drowned by
Submerging Vessel Before Man
hole Is Properly Closed,

st. Petersburg, June 30.-The subma-
rine boat Delfin sank at her moorings
in the Neva, off the Baltic shipbuilding
yard, at II o'clock Wednesday morning,
with the loss of an officer, Lieut.. Cher
kasoff, and 20 men. The accident was
due partly to the excessive number OF
the crew, mostly inexperienced men,
and chiefly to the unfortunate attempt
of man to escape while his comrades
were screwing down the manhOle.
The officers and men detailed for sub
marine boat instruction had assembled
at the Baltic yard, and three officers oe-
cided to go down in the Delfin, although
her captain was not present, relying
on the experience of her skilled crew.
A score of nOvices were anxious to go
with the three officers. The Delfin' S
nominal capacity is ten men, instead OF
which 80 entered the boat, bringing her
manhole in dangerous proximity to the
river level just then a tug passed,
sending a heavy wash against the boat.
AS soon as the water splashed into the
submarine boats interior it created a
panic among the novices, and one of
them tried to get out of the manhole,
which the older hands were screwing
down, preparatory to the descent, the
submerging compartment having al
ready been opened. The water rushed
in and as the submerged vessel sank like
a stone the officers and some of the men
were saved by being blown up through
the manhole by the rush of escaping air.
The Delfn shortly afterwards was
raised. Lieut.. Elagsuin, who was one OF
the officers saved, said:
"The tragedy was like a dream l re-
member sickening sense of suffoca-
tion from the fumes of the storage bat
teries and then a rush Of air and water.
The next thing knew was that I was
ashore"
The Delfin is Russia's best submarine
boat. She was designed by Naval Archi-
tect Boubnoff and Capt. Becklemisheff
and underwent successful trial in 1903.

TWO STEPS.
The Last One Helps the First.


A sick coffee drinker must take two
steps to be rid of his troubles and get
strong and we'll again.
The first is to cut of coffee abso-
lutely.
That removes the destroying ele-
ment. The next step is to take liquid
food (and that is Postum Food Coffee
that has in it the elements nature re-
Quires to change the. blood corpuscles
from pale pink or white to rich red,
and good red blood builds good strong
and healthy cells in place Of the
broken down cells destroyed by coffee.
With we'll boiled Postum Food Coffes
to shift to, both these steps are easy
and pleasant. The experience Of q
Georgian proves how important both
are

and had both been afflicted with sick
or nervous headache and at times We
suffered untold agony. We were coffee
drinkers and did not know how to get
away from it for the nabit is hard to
quit.
But in 1900 read of a case similar
to ours where Postum Coffee was used
in place of the old coffee and COM
plete cure resulted. so I concluded to
get some and try it.
''The result was, after three days use
of Postum in place of the coffee /

trouble and in five months. I had
gained from 145 pounds to 1853 pounds.
My friends asked me almost daily
what wrought the change. My answer
always is. leaving CT coffee and drink
ing Postum in it's place.
I'VE have many friends who have
been benefited by Postum.
