SURE TO ASK
The Kind of Coffee when Postum is
Well-made.

Three great coffee drinkers were my
old school friend and her two daughters
They were always complaining and
taking medicine. I determined to give
them Postum instead of coffee when
they visited me, so without saying any
thing to them about it, / made a big
pot of Postum the first morning, using
four heaping teaspoonfuls to the pint
of water and let it boil twenty min
utes, stirring down occasionally.
Before the meal was half over. each
one passed up her cup to be refllled
remarking how fine the coffee was
The mother asked for a third cup and
inquired as to the brand of coffee /
used. l didn't answer her question lust
then, for 1 had heard her say while
before that she didn't like Postum un-
less 1t was more than half old-fashioned
coffee.
After breakfast I told her that the
coffee she liked SO well at breakfast
was pure Postum and the reason she
liked 1t was because it was properlv
made, that is, it was boiled long enough
to bring out the favour.
IT have been brought UP from a nerv-
Gus, wretched invalid, to fine condt-
ton of physical health by leaving off
coffee and using Postum.

world out of coffee slavery to Postum

NEW RECORD IN
|. AIRSHIP FLIGHT
AT RACE MEET
BIeriot Travels Forty=six Miles
an Hour for Ten Kilometers
at Rheims
Marvellous Performance in a
Twenty Knot Breeze at High
Altitude by Paulham

RHEIMS, Aug. ga marvellous pro-
longed high flight of 80 kilometers
(SH miles) in 90 knot breeze by
Paulham and the establishment of a
new worlds record for 10 kilometers
at the rate of 74.S1S meters GAG miles,
an hour by Bleriot were the features
of the aerial race meeting today.
Owing to the high wind there would
have been no flights except for the
visit of President Fallieres and his
cabinet
Young Bunau-Varilla, with his ma
chine plunging like a ship in a stormy
sea, managed to navigate the turbulent
air currents for one round.
SAFETY FOUND IN HEIGHT
Then Paulham began his thrilling
flight. He made the first two rounds
at an altitude of $50 feet, but as he
entered the third circuit he reached
a height of between 400 and 500 feet.
The biplane struck what seemed dan
gerous angle. 1t swayed in the wind,
but each time righted itself.
Paulham completed his exploit with a
wonderful exhibition of maneuvering.
His achievement has made him the
hero of the meeting.
why did you venture out in such a
wind?" he was asked.
The president of the republic was
there. 1t was necessary to fy.
why did you go so high?"
Because in height lay security. The
higher I went the safer 1 was, as the
wind, though strong, was more reg
ular"
Paulham had nothing to gain by the
risks he took, as his fight was not
counted in the endurance test. His
time was six minutes slower than yes
terday's for 80 kilometers.
ONE RECORD MAKING LAP
Bleriot's record making lap was ac-
complished with his eight horsepower
machine at a low level. He made the
circuit of six and one-fifth miles in s
minutes % seconds. The best pre-
vious record was made yesterday by
Glenn H. Curtiss, the American aviator,
in minutes 35 2-5 seconds.
Latham put two machines out of
commission in an attempt to start.
Finally, just at dusk, he got away, and
made a superb fight of three rounds at
an average height of 800 feet.

WOM[NAND
CHILDREN DIE IN
STEAMER CRASH
Crowded Argentine Excursion
Vessel Struck by Big Liner
and Sinks Immediately
Both Ships Become Unmanage-
able in Fierce Storm Raging
Off Uruguay Coast

MONTEvIDEO, Aug. 24.-Between
$50 and 200 persons were drowned or
otherwise killed when, in driving
rainstorm early today. the Argentine
excursion steamer Colombia and the
North German Lloyd steamer Schlesien
collided at the entrance of Montevideo
harbor.
The Colombia was entering port and
the Schlesien was outward bound for
Bremen. The Colombia's bow was
crushed in, and it sank almost imme-
diately.
The Colombia carried about 200 pas
sengers and a crew of 4S men. Most of
the passengers were asleep and a panic
followed the crash. Small boats Were
hurried to the sinking steamer, but
rescue was rendered difficult by the
high sea. About 20 persons were
brought ashore.
Most of the dead were women and
children. A majority of the survivors
are men.
The Colombia was carrying excur-
sionists from Buenos Aires to the fes-
tival at Montevideo.
The disaster has caused the keenest
emotion. The Uruguayan government,
In consequence, has postponed the fetes
arranged for the celebration of the
inauguration of the port.
The Schlesien was only slightly
damaged and has been detained here
by the port authorities. Her COM
mander attributed the collision to the
wind and the high seas, which made
both steamers practically unman-
ageable.
FIERCE STORM CONTINUES
The channel is partially INSTRUCTED
by the wreck of the Colombia Most Of
the survivors of that vessel were taken
from the masts and many of them
were injured. While great numbers
of women and children were drowned,
almost every one of the ships crew
was saved.

FIGHT AGAINST
WHITE PLAGUE
Organization for Active Campaign
Perfected at an important
Meeting Yesterday.

The antituberculosis workers of Ho-
nolulu organized for an active COM
mencement of work yesterday through
the delegates Of the various organiza-
tions interested in the city. This was
at meeting of delegates from those
organizations invited by the Red Cross
Society to take part in the organized
campaign against the white plague,
those present being: Father Valentin,
representing the Roman Catholic So
cieties; Miss Pope, representing the
Women IS College Club; Mrs. Theodore
Richards, representing the women IS So
cieties of Central Union church; J. P.
Cooke, representing the Mems Club of
Central Union; j. A. Rath, represent
ing the Palama Settlement; Doctor
Hodgins, representing the Hawaiian
Medical Society; Doctor Sinclair, rep
resenting the Leah Home; Doctor
Pratt, representing the Board of
Health; W. R. Castle, representing the
Civic Federation, and Doctor Hobby. of
the U. S. Marine Hospital Service. The
Mems Club of St. Andrews was not
represented by delegate, while there
are some other organizations which will
be asked to send delegates 10 future
meetings.
Judge Dole, president of the local
Red Cross, called the meeting to order,
after which a permanent organization
was effected, as follows: Chairman, J.
P. Cooke; secretary, Doctor Pratt, and
treasurer, G.. II. Cooke. A committee
to discuss the best methods of getting
to work was nominated, consisting of
Mr.. Rath and Doctors Hobby and Hold
gins. This committee was instructed to
get busy and have report ready for
an early meeting.
A general discussion of the situation
resulted in tentative decision in favor
of using existing organizations for the
antituberculosis campaign, the general
idea being that Leah Home should be
utilized and efforts made to have new
pavilions and another ward erected for
the treatment and cure of incipient
cases. The medical men present stated
that the location of this home was an
almost ideal one for the purpose.

and though I won out, it was after a
very vigorous campaign wherein it was
brought home to me convincingly that
something radical had to be done, not
