A SMALL SECRET
Couldn't Understand the Taste of his
Customers.

Two men were discussing the
various food products now being sup
piled in such variety and abundance.
One, grocer, said II frequently
try package or so of any certain
1rticle before offering it to my trade,
and in that way sometimes form
different idea than my customers
have.
For instance, I thought / would
try Postum Food Coffee, to see what
reason there was for such a call for
it. At breakfast l didn't like it and
supper proved the same, so / natur-
ally concluded that my taste was diff
ferent from that of the customers
who bought it right along.
A day or two after, / waited on
lady who was buying 25c package
and told her couldn't understand
how one could fancy the taste of Pos
tum.
1 know just what is the matter
she said, you put the coffee boiler
on the stove for just fifteen minutes,
and ten minutes of that time it sim
mered, and perhaps five minutes it
boiled, now il you will have it left
to boil full fifteen minutes after it
commences to boil, You will find
delicious Java-like beverage, rich in
food value of gluten and phosphates,
so choice that you will never aban-
don it, particularly when you see the
great gain in health Well, / took
another trial and sure enough l
joined the Postum army Tor good,
and life seems worth living since /

ach ID kidney troubles"
Postum is no sort of medicine, but
pure liquid food, and this, together
with a relief from coffee worked the
change. There's a Reason"

Suicide Statistics.

Suicides in the United Kingdom
have increased by 200 per cent. in
fifty years, and by $50 per cent. in
twenty-five years. In 1904, the last
year for which official figures are
available, 1923 men and 1922 women
took their own lives in England and
Wales alone, while the total in the
metropolitan police district was $50.
At least an equal number of persons
were prevented from accomplishing
their intention. How rapid has been
the increase during recent years may
be seen from the fact that suicides in
England and Wales have increased
from ATS women and 1929 men in
1885 to 822 women and 1923 men in
1904. There have been more than
$4,000 suicides in England and Wales
in twenty years.
Bad as is the case of England, in
other countries the evil is even worse.
According to statistics recently pub
lished by the Swiss Government,
there have committed suicide during
the last thirty-five years 16,64O per-
sons in Switzerland, $4,000 persons
in Germany and 274,000 persons in
France.
German official figures put the
number of suicides in Europe yearly
at 10000. Cases in the German en-
pire itself have risen from 1850 in
1895 to 1870 in 1905. In America
the number is about 5000 annually,
and is increasing. Social Gazette.

Then, following the usual custom,
the fleet would move southwark to-
ward Guantanamo for drill operations
and target practice, but instead of
doing so this fall they will go on the
cruise to the Pacific. The proposition
to send the feet to the Pacific at an
early date, that is, this summer, has
not been considered and will not be
considered unless there is danger of
an immediate outbreak of hostilities
on the part of Japan, which officers
do not believe is at all likely.
Much greater difficulty would be
experienced in getting the big ships
around to the Pacific now than five
or six months later. The South At
lantic is now in midwinter, the wealth
er is unfavorable and much danger
might be encountered. Besides that,
it is argued, there is no pressing need
for their presence there at this time.
Whatever good effect may be had by
sending the ships there, it is contend
ed, will be produced by the announce
ment of the decision that they are to
go later.
OF course, if there should be an
outbreak on the part of Japan the
plan to delay the sending of the ships
until next winter would be changed
Immediately. The impression, how
ever, which officers seek to convey is
that the fleet is not to be sent to the
| Pacific as a menace to Japan or be-
cause there is any danger of war,
which is secuted, but rather to dem
| onstrate our ability to make a dash
around the Horn in the event of an
emergency. Whetheror not the ships
will be brought back to the Atlantic
is matter for determination after
further developments. Next Deem
Der will be midsummer in the South
Atlantic and conditions will then be
favorable for the long cruise.
In some naval quarters the opinion
is held still that the battleship fleet
will never go to the Pacific, and the
impression is given that the PROPOSE
ton is largely bluff for the purpose
of showing Japan what we would do
in case it became necessary to have a
large fleet in Pacific waters.
These same officers believe that it
would be dangerous thing to leave
the Atlantic coast unprotected, as it
would be in the event of the with
drawal of the entire battleship feet.
At the same time they point out that
the transfer of the fleet to the Pacific
and the abandonment of the Atlantic
coast would be an argument for a
large increase in the navy and the
building of corresponding battle
ship feet for the Atlantic, in order
that the country might be adequately
protected in both oceans.

THE CRIME OF JINGOIsM.

ern American battleships Japan has
only ten. Against our eight first
class and five second-class armored
cruisers Japan has nine. Against
our nineteen protected cruisers Japan
has seventeen
In effective fighting force the
American superiority is vastly pre-
ponderant This fact is known to
every Japanese statesman and to
every intelligent Japanese citizen.
Yet American jingoes are asking us
to believe that Japan, in some fashion
or another, is secretly menacing the
peace of the United States.
The plain and obvious truth is that
japan is exhausted financially, that
her population is struggling under
burdens imposed by the war with
Russia, and that her resources are so
far inferior to those of the United
States that no responsible Japanese
statesman would think of war except
as a last resort.

Navy Department Decides
to Send Only Our Newest
Warships to the Pacific
Fifty Fighting Vessels, Large and Small,
Will Be in Sight Of San Francisco
by January First.
WORLD'SCREATES ST NAVAL REVIEW

Washington, D. C.-Two important
decisions have been reached by the
Navy Department concerning the an
nounced program for the dispatch of
the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific-frst,
only the newest and most modern
ships will be sent, and, secondly, the
average of captains of the ships will
be reduced from three to five years.
In addition it is planned to send
along a fiotilla of torpedo boat de-
stroyers.
1t is figured here that, without the
ships now on the Asiatic station,
there will be thirty-two warships in
sight of San Francisco by January /.
This number will include the torpedo
boat destroyers.
1t also is proposed to bring over
the Asiatic forces Those which are
considered real fighting craft are the
four armored cruisers, West Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and
Colorado, and the monitors Monterey
and Monadnock. These, added, will
give total of thirty-eight 1t also is
probable that when the plans for the
greatest of all navy reviews are per-
fected even the smaller cruisers and
the gunboats will come over from
Asia, and the total force will amount
to fifty fighting vessels, great and
small.
Announcement was made at the
Navy Department that the proposed
voyage of the battleship fleet to the
Pacific would in no way interfere with
the plan already arranged for the
summer maneuvres of the Atlantic
fleet. The decision has been made
that Rear-Admiral Evans, command
ing the fleet, shall assemble his yes
sells for midsummer operations at
some point on the New England coast
on -August rs. The place has not yet
been determined, as there is no great
haste in the matter.
In the meantime the ships which
may need repairs will be locked and
put in condition. Repairs are being
rushed on the Connecticut, which Is
Admiral Evans flagship, but this is
being done so that other ships may
be sent to the Brooklyn yard for spe-
cial work upon them as may be neces-
sary and for the further reason that
the ship has not completed her for
NAL trials
The plan of docking the vessels for
repairs was mapped out months ago
and is now being carried out without
regard to the intended movement of
the feet to the Pacific. These repairs
would have been made had there
been no decision reached for the
movement to the Pacific.
The New England maneuvres will
be completed some time in October.
