PRESSED HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the In.
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony Cor
the benefit of others.
A superintendent Of public schools
in one of the southern states says:
MY mother, since her early child
hood, was on inveterate coffee drinker
had been troubled with her heart for q
number Of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making an OFF,
cial visit to distant part Of the coun-
try and took dinner with one of the
merchants Of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour Of the cof-
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, bought a package
to carry home with me. and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family were SO we'll pleased
with it, that we discontinued coffee
and used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach: that the
headaches were not SO frequent, and
her general condition much improved.
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest OF us.
Il know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members Of the
family. but not in SO marked de-
gree as in the case Of my mother, a.
she was victim Of long standing"

,,od nv the knowledge that the soldiers Of
other nations were to take part in the rehe1 eA-
nedition- and he wished the men of his own coun'
try to show themselves "or'hy ~ 'ne 'e VI ~
men of other countries.
They did show themselves worthy, and they re-
sponded tn the call of their commander with an
alacrity that made the American leaders instead
of followers in that march beset with dimcultles
and dangers almost unparalleled in modern war
fare.
There are men in the army to-day who firmly
believe that Gen. Chanee did not sleep an hour
during the march to Peking The soldiers who
made the march declare that the nights In China
are black that it is impossible to see anything at
all without the aid Of artificial light, and these in
the bivouacs of the soldiers were forbidden for
precautionary reasons There was no definite
knowledge of the forces that might be in the path
of the expedition, and no one Knew what surprises
the night might cover. Gen. Chaffee, his soldiers
say constituted himself a sentinel who refused to
be relieved from guard and through the nights he
was alert and watching, and through the days he
was alert and marching.
There are stories by the scores of men who are
supposed to bear charmed lives The hero of the
book of fiction sheds bullets slate roof sheds
rain and in the reading of it one finds it hard to
believe that any truth could be stranger than this
fiction. If Gen. Chaffee doesn't bear charmed
life he has the largest allowance of luck that has
fallen to any one man.
Gen. Chaffee has been four times brevetted for
bravery. Two of the brevet commissions came to
him for gallantry in the civil service and two
for gallantry in battles with the Indians. He once
led cavalry charge rough and precipitous
bluffs where cavalry charge thought to be
a feat wellnigh impossible.
He rode at the head of his men straight into
body of armed Indians, scattering them but not
until they had poured volley after voey into Chat
fees oncoming command. That charge gave the
soldier his brevet commission as lieutenant
colonel.
When the Spanish-American war broke
Chanee made brigader general of volun-
teers. He was in the very thick of the fighting
in front of Santiago. Capt. Arthur Lee a British
army officer detailed by his government to watch
the field operations in Cuba attached himself to
the headquarters Of Cen Chaifee. Capt Lee wrote
4 story about the campaign in which he paid to

powerful swimmer. On that night he swan the
entire distance around the bay. landing now and
then to get closer look at the enemys water
front Notifications. He did this unseen of any
sentinel If discovery had come it meant almost
certain death to the swimmer. He came back to
his starting point with full knowledge of the
strength of the Spaniards in heavy guns and
when the time for the assault came, the infor-
nation was Of priceless service.
Gen. Bell was called on while in the Philip
pines to end the war in Batangas. He ended 1t,
and in ending 1t he took the only course possible
"a course that the civilians at a distance from
the fighting denounced altogether too severe.
Bell called a second Weyler, and a second
duke of Alva, but when full knowledge came OF
his operations and of the craft and horrid cruelty
of the natives whom he was fighting, criticism
died. OF his experience and of the criticism he
said in a letter to a friend:
Knowing my disposition and kindly feeling
toward the natives full WELL you will have no diff
fculty in understanding that 'he necessity for
we're measures has been a source of distress to
me. The only consolation can derive is by
keeping my thoughts on the end and object in
view. When one has worked faithfully, consci-
entiously, and unselfshly for Is country four
years. without relaxation rest. it is somewhat
discouraging. not to say distressing to find that
even some of his own countrymen appear to have
no confidence in his motives judgment or intes-
rity."
There is no use in mincing words; Gen. Bell
is considered one of the most daring and dashing
officers In the American service. He wears a
medal of honor for charging single handed and
alone body of armed Ffpinos He was shot
at repeatedly from every quarter, but in army
parance: They didn't get him." but he got sev-
en- of them not dead, but alive and he led back
to the American lines his septet of prisoners all
covering under his pointed pistol, though every
man jack of them was armed.
If war were to come there is no army doubt,
although he is far from being the ranking officer
of the service. that Gen. Bell would be given the
chief command of the field forces.
1t needs neither the bearing nor the uniform
of Lieut.. Gen. Adna r. Chaffee (retred), to show
that he is a soldier. You see 1t in his face
His expression is at once mild and aggressive,
and the eye is purposeful. Gen. Chanee's name
comes most readily to the lips when one is asked
to name typical American soldier.

shot.
Straight into the village went Bell at the head
of his men. Dawn streaks were beginning to
show in the sky, but the warriors were asleep
past the ordinary waking. for were not the SEN
tinels posted. and were they not bound by every
tradition Of tribal honor to be awake and watch
full.
Lieut.. Bell had given his men orders. The vii
lage was cordoned with troops and there wasn't
mousehole of escape. Bell has whimsical
humor. In the very heart of the Tagalog village
was an old muzzle-oading brass cannon, a trophy
: taken by the Tagalogs from the Spaniards of
1other day, and which the natives were hoping to
use against the equally hated Americans. Bell
detailed a loading party of three men. The three
became boys again, and they rammed the piece
eull OF powder and grass waddng, after the man
ner of loading Fourth of July cannon on the
village green in the home land.
The light of coming day strong enough
for the conducting of operations. lanyard was
pulled and the brazen piece roared out its reveille
The sound of 1t shook the foundations of the Ia
galog huts; 1t reused the warrior sleepers as
would the cracking of doomsday They came
armed, but naked to the fray The Tagalogs looked
bayonet points and down gun barrels and
render came instanter.
