the service and wished him good
luck.
After luncheon Roosevelt with two
officials of the steamship company
made a careful inspection of all bag
gage which was checked for Naples
and will be taken TO the steamer at
Hoboken tomorrow.
Roosevelt went TO New York this
morning to inspect the steamer quar-
tiers and see that the personal bag
gage is safely cared for.
Roosevelt was shown a dispatch
stating that a gentleman from the
west would join the expedition here,
as an additional member.
81 don't know anything about it,
said Roosevelt. ''If they try, think
there will be way to stop them"
To correspondents who called on
him today he said: 81 do not intend
to make and won't make any state
ment regarding my African trip. or
on any other subject here. at Naples
or Mombasa, so that any appearing
as coming from me will be false on
its face
Mr.. Roosevelt also said: 81 will
leave here early Tuesday and may go

DOCTOR SAID
Much sickness Caused by Coffee
Drinking.

It Is wise to use care In the selec-
ton OF your table beverage.
The experience of several Ills
families proves this and one OF them
Is a very interesting story.
1--WE were induced to quit coffee
about eight years ago because of its
Injurious effects The doctor advised
us to stop II entirely and we began
to use Postum.
while We drank coffee We had
headache, sleeplessness, stomach
troubles, palpitation OF the heart, etc.
We have found no Injurious effects
from Postum, and are clear of all the
old coffee troubles. II has a fine col
or, a delicious favour. and we feel
free to drink all we wish OF II.
"My brothers family has used
Postum for eight years, and has
been benefited as we have. A Swed-
ish family, neighbors. used to drink
coffee for years. but finding II harm
full. have quit and now use Postum.
"A number of other families we
know here who were habitual coffee
drinkers, with the usual results. have
now taken up Postum. The doctors
here say much sickness is caused by
drinking coffee.
Some of them did not like Postum
at first. but when we showed them
how to make II dark and rich, ac-
cordlng to directions on pkg. they
liked II better than coffee, and IT
agrees with them"

All day long reports have been
coming in from up the branch con
corning the condition of the river,
each one worse than the last. TAX
en- all together, it seems probable
that a somewhat larger volume OF
water is on its way toward the Gulf
than there was in the July flood,
vet the reports are doubtless more
or less exaggerated.
The most disturbing news re-
ceived is that contained in a dis
patch from McAllen this afternoon
which says that another rise is re-
ported in the San Juan river. As
the San Juan was reported to be fall
ling yesterday, this is grave news
if true, but as no confirmation has
been received from any other
source, there is doubt as to the truth
of the report.
The river has been about at a
stand here all day, but as it is still
rising slightly at up-river points will
probably rise slightly again here to-
night.

much of the low land south of the
