WORSE THAN PORT ARTHUR,
IL the Japanese Decide to Take
Vlndivostols They May Find
1t Hard Task.

st. Petersburg. Aug. pa compe-
tent military attache of an European
power, who is acquainted thoroughly
with the defensive facilities at Vlad.
ivostok, has informed the Associated
press that the Japanese will find that
fortress n harder nut to crack than
Port Arthur. If they decide to break
of negotiations. This authority de-
clares that the Japanese feet will not
be able to cooperate with the attack
ing army except in the way Of an in
effective bombardment of the sea
front, as the mine fields and heavy ar
tillery make 1t out Of the question for
big ships to run by the fortress and
get in touch with the besiegers on the
mainland.
This attache noticed during trip
through Russia from which he has
just returned that the southern for
tresses were practically denuded OF
heavy artillery, which has been placed
at the approaches to the fortress at
Vladivostok.
''Vladivostok," he says, 'is years
task at least and more expensive than
Port Arthur"

A SUBMARINE TRIP.
President Roosevelt Went Under the
Waves In the Plunger.
Enjoyed the Novel Experience Of
Resting ON the Bottom OF the nay
In q Torpedo Boat-Was Sub
merged Fifty Minutes.

As soon as the president had de-
scended into the boat. the manholes
we're closed and, conveyed by the
naval tender Apache, the Plunger
started for the sound. No maneuvers
were attempted until the vessel was
we'll beyond the entrance to the bay.
A stiff northeast breeze, which had
been blowing since Thursday night
kicked up a heavy sea in the sound
but the Plungsr behaved beautifully.
The water where the trial took place
Is about 40 feet deep, too shallow In
the opinion OF Lieut.. Nelson and his
experts to enable the vessel to do her
best work. Soon after the vessel
reached necessary depth Of water she
was directed downward until she
rested on the bottom of the sound.
Then the mechanism Of the craft was
explained infinitely to the president BY
the lieutenant so that afterward the
president experienced no difficulty In
understanding the maneuvers which
were performed.
While the president thus was resting
on the bottom of the sound in sub
marine boat. a storm 40 feet above
him was raging unnoticed. The rain
descended in torrents and the north
easter whipped the surface of the
water into big rollers, but 1t was as
quiet and peaceful where the president
sat as an easy parlor would be.

GUST THE DEMON.
A Tussle with Coffee.

There is something fairly demoniacaE
In the way coffee sometimes wreaks It's
aendish malice on those who use 1t.
A lady writing from Calf. says
my husband and /, both lovers or
coffee, suffered for some time from q.
very annoying form of nervousness. ac-
companied by most frightful head
aches. In my own case there was
eventually developed some sort OF AZ
lection Of the nerves leading from the
spine to the head.
81 was unable 10 hold my head up
straight, the tension Of the nerves drew
It to one side, causing me the most in
tense pain. We got no relief from
medicine, and werc puzzled as to what
caused the trouble, till friend sug-
gested that possibly the coffee We
drank had something to do with 1t,
and advised that we quit 1t and try
Postum Coffee.
1--WE followed his advice. and from
the day that we began to use Postum
we both began to improve, and In
q very short time both Of US were en-
tirely relieved. The nerves became
steady once more, the headache ceased,
the muscles in the back Of my neck re-
Taxed, my head Strengthened up. ana
the dreadful pain that had so punished
me while used the old kind Of cofee
vanished.
I'VE have never resumed the use Of
the old coffee, but relish our Postum
every day as we'll cs we did the former
beverage. And we are delighted to fnd
that we can give 1t freely to our chill
dren, also. something We never dareo
to do with the old kind OF conee. :"

Postum Coffee contains absolutely no
drugs Of any kind, but relieves the
coffee drinker from the old drug pol
