Visits Kossuth.

From the parliamentary buildings
Colonel Roosevelt went TO the home OF
Francis Kossuth. who Is confined 70
the house with gout. from which he
has been a great sufferer for some
time. The Hungarian patriot received
the American visitor cordially. and the
conversation turned almost imme-
diately upon the progress which had
been made by Hungary since 1S4s,
Kossuth showed his visitor pictures
and busts of his illustrious father, as
well as various mementoes which are
preserved with almost fanatical rever-
ence by the family OF the greatest of
all Hungary's famous men.
After leaving Kossuth. Colonel
Roosevelt motored to the agricultural
museum. where he was received by
the directors. who had assembled for
the occasion. There was an exchange
of greetings. Colonel Roosevelt dis
played the greatest interest IN every
thing he saw and made a careful in
spection OF the various exhibits. In
cluding models OF the state owned
horses and cattle and charts and
specimens OF everything connected
with Hungarian agriculture.
Presented With a Bouquet.
He was whisked away to the Wash
ington monument presented TO the
city of Budapest by the American Hun
garian Federation. AS he paused to
inspect It he was presented with a
bouquet. tied with the Hungarian col
ors and the gift of the president of the
federation in Cleveland. o. This seem
ed TO please the colonel greatly.
From the Washington monument
Mr.. Roosevelt was driven to the studio
of the foremost Hungarian sculptor
and painter. George Zala. where for
a few moments he held an impromptu
reception and talked art with those
present This was followed by a re-
ception at the American consulate.
Returning to his hotel. the former
president found great crowd await
ing him. The corridors OF the build
ing were packed and hundreds had as
sembled in the street in spite OF the
rainfall. As soon as the colonel alight-
ed from his vehicle he was recognized
and was greeted with enthusiastic
cries OF ELLEN Roosevelt" Ellen
Teddy"
When he reached his rooms Roose-
welt granted a special interview to
four young Americans who are study
{ ing here for the priesthood. They are
from Hartford, Conn, and have in
view for the future the taking care of
the Hungarian Immigrants who land
in New York. They were with Colonel
Roosevelt for some time. but would
not say what had passed between
them and their fellow countryman.

HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

"Oh, how hard 1t was to part with
coffee. but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
1t off.
Then the question was, what
should we use for the morning drink?
Tea was worse for us than coffee;
chocolate and cocoa were soon tired
OF; milk was not liked very we'll, and
hot water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without 1t since.
I'VE have seven children. Our
baby. now eighteen months old, would
not take milk, SO we tried Postum,
and found she liked 1t and it agreed
with her perfectly. She is to-day.
and has been, one Of the healthiest
babies in the State.
Il use about two-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and teaspoon Of su-
gar, and put 1t into her bottle. If
you could have seen her eyes sparkle
and hear her say good to-day when
gave it to her, you would believe me
that she likes it.
IF I was matron of an infants
home, every child would be raised on
Postum. Many of my friends say,
You are looking so well!' I reply, L
am we'll; drink Postum. I have no
more trouble with constipation, and
know that owe my good health to
God and Postum
Il am writing this letter because
want to tell you how much good Pos
tum has done for us, but If you knew
how shrink from pu blicity you would
not publish this letter, at least not
over my name"

Here is something that every board

Many a boarder has been lost By

PLATINUM TO BE HIGHER.
Russian Government to Assume CO

Russian Government to Assume Con-
troll Of Its Production.
| Refiners Of platinum are worried
| by reports which they have received
from Russian sources indicating that
the Cars Government will put into
effect IN the next month or two a
new plan for controlling the indus
try and more than doubling the
price. The refineries which are In
the Maiden lane district get more
than IS per cent. OF their crude
platinum from the Uraf Mountains.
Under the plan upon which the
Russians have been working for a
year all the platinum will he refined
in their country.
The commission appointed by the
Russian Government nearly year
ago was directed to submit q re-
port and to recommend minimum
price at which the refined platinum
may be sold in the next year. The
commission is said to have agreed
upon a price of 2,100 rubles, or $40,
for a pound of platinum comprising
SO per cent. of the pure metal.
The refneries in New York are
now selling pure platinum for s29
for a Troy ounce, nearly so per cent.
more than the price of gold. The
price of platinum has gone up IS
an ounce in the last year and the
refiners say that it is sure to go
much higher, irrespective of the &C
ton of the Russian commission.
All the rehners say that the con-
sumption OF platinum has vastly in.
creased in the last three years. At
one of the largest refineries 1t was
said that fully 200 per cent. more
platinum is now being used than ever
before and that the consumption is
now much greater than the produc-
ton of the mines. The refiners are
buying platinum scrap from all pos
sible sources so as to remelt 1t and
use it for the current demand. 1t
is figured that 40 per cent. of the
platinum sold in the last year by re-
fners was the remelted scrap.-NeW

There is no record that any such
order as Put none but Americans
on guard was issued by Washing,
ton. Those who quote it do not
know when it was supposed to have
been issued. But It is fact that
on April 80, TIT, in an order issued
at Morristown, N. j., for reorganiz-
ing the Improperly called Washing
toms bodyguard" he did say that he
thought that men having an interest
In the country would be less likely

Washington directed that this prefer
ence for Americans should not be
made known, as he feared 1t might
