MYSTERY TO GRANT.
Many Soldiers Bought Discharge From
Army Last Year.

Army Last Year.
Washington. Aug. 29.-The reason
which caused so many soldiers To seek
relief from the United States army
by the purchase of their discharge Is
!inexphcable to Major General Freder-
lex ID Grant. He commanded the De-
partment of the East during the last
fiscal year. and i'm "A report To the war
department says that 623 applications
for discharge by purchase were acted
upon by his department during the
year.
1T seems incredible to me-" General
Grant says. that so many soldiers in
times like the present when industrial
conditions i'm our country are not of
the best, should desire to leave the
service and should desire to pay a sum,
which to them is considerable. for the
purpose of doing so. When one thinks
of the generous provision the govern
ment makes for it's soldiers. this rest
lessness cannot be accounted for"

THE TEA PENALTY.
"A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from busy railroad town
the wife of an employe Of one of the
great roads says:
my husband Is a railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
of Postum that he wishes me to ex-
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken up with his work. and he
has no time to write himself
"He has been great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked 1t
strong.
Tea has, OF late years, acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him, but
only for an hour or SO, then 1t began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him, some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste OF
1t. and 1t somehow seemed to do him
good, he added 1t to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better. he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
"1is condition Is so wonderfully i'm
proved that he could not be hired to
| give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.

has taken no medicine and made no

In the construction of all buildings

the completion of the lumber yard
to be built near the quartermaster's
reservation by the bureau of supply.
This was the statement made by
supply. Imported lumber has been
used to great extent In the past ow-
ing to the inability of native lumber
growers to supply the demand for
seasoned wood. The government pro-
poses to buy up the entire wood sup
ply of the islands as soon as 1t is
taken from the tree, and store it in
the new lumber yard until it has be-
come properly seasoned.
For the first three months follow
ing the completion of the yard. It was
stated, the supply of native wood on
hand which had become seasoned dur
ing the construction of the sheds,
would run short of the demand of the
government for timber. and imported
woods would be put into use. Fol-
lowing this period. however, native
materials will be used exclusively, as

capacity Of over 100000 board feet,
will be filled at all times with timber

The construction of the new lumber
yard awaits only final decision on
