I had developed a well defined case of
chronic coffee poisoning.

terings of the heart, humping in the

body, twitching of my limbs, shaking

desire for very strong coffee. was a
nervous wreck for years.
"a short time ago friends came to
visit us and they brought a package of
Postum with them, and urged me to try
it. I was prejUdiced because some years
ago I had drunk a cup Of weak, taste-
less stuff called Postum which I did not
like at all.
This time, however, my friend made
the Postum according to directions on
the package, and it won me. Suddenly
I found myself improving in a most de-
cided fashion.
ne OdOr or DOlllng cOMee no longer
tempts me. I am so greatly benefited
by Postum that IL continue to improve
as I am now. I'll begin to think have

4 STRONG ARGUMENT.

Though the benevolent and bcneflc
ent United States has provided splen-
did offices for It's congressman, there
are other humble workers for the peo-
pie who are not well-otticed, 80 to
speak. The sad condition of ,hose
public servants has attracted he at
tention of Senator Scott, of West Vii-
ginia, and he has spoken for Them
with zeal and impressiveness Dur
ing his speech he showed that in the
past ten years the rent paid for build
ings used for government purposes in
the District of Columbia has in
creased nearly three times-from
s1T6,000 in 1897 to $4,000 in 1907.
He argued that s416.0OO represented
two per cent. rate Of interest on
over s2O,00o,000 and that this latter
amount would build all the depart
mental buildings needed by the gov
eminent. lie referred to the crowd
cd conditions OF the departm ,htal
buildings and Of those structures
which are being rented and used by
the government, showing that nails
were utilized, windows closed UP and
clerks forced to occupy quarters
which were almost unbearable.
This is not year in which spend
ing money even to save money looks
attractive, but Senator Scott has GER
tainly made strong argument for
more office-room. Sooner or later II
will be had The United States is rich,
but II can hardly afford to continue
such condition of things as Senator
Scott describes.

CAN SHOOT NOW.

If the United States navy couldn't
sfoot we'll before and during the
Spanish war. as some of its critics say,
II can shoot we'll now. The prelimin-
airy reports received at the Navy de-
partment on the target practice Of the
battleships in Magdalena Bay indicate
a gratifying and, in some respects,
surprising accuracy Many of the en-
listed men have had an opportunity
to work at the guns for the first time,
rs large fraction of the force had
been admitted to the service shortly
before the departure of the fleet for
Hampton Roads 1t was to be expect

out the craftsmanship turns out to
have been as good, If not better. This
is attributed in part TO the efficiency
of the mechanism which now enters
SO largely into the operation OF naval
rifles and contribute In great measure
to the accuracy Of gunfre. The train
ing of guns has been reduced as much
as possible to the operation Of appli-
ances, and the rapidity of fire follow
ing closely upon rho aiming has done
much to establish n large percentage
of hits.
Good. OF course there is no desire
in this country that our battleships
may do some real shooting before
