MORE BATTLE SHIPS ARE
PLANNED FOR U. S. NAVY
Estimates Win Be Submitted to
Secretary of the Treasury
at an Early Date

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-Estimates
for the maintenance Of the navy for the
next fiscal year have been completed
with only one Important exception
namely. the provision for the construc-
ton OF new ships. This item has been
permitted to remain open awaiting the
personal consideration OF Secretary Mey-
er and It is expected he will take up
the subject in the course OF week or
two. as the estimates must be In the
hands OF the secretary or the treasury
before the 18th OF October.
II is pretty well understood that the
secretary viii adhere to the program
which has governed for the past few
years and suggest to congress the addi-
ton OF two frst-class battle ships and a
corresponding number OF submarines,
torpedo boat destroyers. colliers and
other auxiliaries. These battle ships
will probably be Of about the size of
the New York and Texas, just being
laid down at New York and Newport
News, though strong pressure is being
brought to bear 10 have the size in
creased TO 5000 tons in order to give
the ships more armor protection than
fs planned for the New York type as
well as more and heavier guns.
II is urged that the recent striking
tests of the effect OF high-powered naval
ordnance upon armor belts as demon
strated in the firing upon the San Mar
cos, once known as the Texas. has made
1t plain that none OF the battle ships
now afoat is safe against such guns as
IL carries.
The practical objections. however. to
further increase in the size of battle
ships such as the limited number Of
harbcrs that would be open to such big
ships. and their excessive cost and diff
acult handling are believed to incline the
majority OF the members Of the boards
which. submit recommendations to the
secretary of the navy for new eonstruc-

BOWERY RESTAURANTS
BOOST COFFEE PRICES

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.-Recent adj
vances in the price of sugar, coffee and
milk have led the Bowery eating
houses to order an advance in the price
of coffee from one cent a cup to three
cents. Coffee is the favorite non-al-
coholic drink on the East Side, and the
Increase will affect thousands of the
lodging house and tenement population.
The owners of the Bowery restaurants
say that the grade of coffee used by
them has gone up four cents a pound,
sugar one to two cents and milk twenty
cents a can.

how good it is If the mother had been
discouraged by the failure of her first
attempt to prepare it,, Her son tells the
story:
I'VE had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try it. We
had hearu from our neighbors, and in
fact every one who used it, how well
they liked IT,
well, the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about five minutes, just as
she had been in the habit of doing with
coffee without paying special attention
to the directions printed on the pack
age. 1t looked weak and didn't have a
very promising color, but nevertheless
father raised his cup with an air of ex-
pectancy. 1t certainly did give a great
surprise. but I'm afraid it wasn't a
very pleasant one, for he put down his
cup with look of disgust
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave it another trial,
letting 1t stand on the stove till boiling
began and then letting it boil for fifteen
or twenty minutes. and this time we
were all so pleased with it that we have
used 1T ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and cup of coffee was to him like
poison SO he never drinks It any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and Is &C

getting rid of this pest is recommend
ed by a writer in an agricultural
paper:
Young dandelion plants can be
killed by spraying with 90 per cent
solution of sulphate of iron. Old
plants are badly injured, the foliage
being wholly destroyed but the grow
ing bud is not killed and the old root
sends up new foliage, Applying dry
sulphate of iron to the "heart" grow
ing bud) of the old plant produces
death. Repeated spraying of middle
aged and old plants results in their
death.
To destroy young dandelion plants
by spraying, dissolve two pounds of
sulphate Of iron in gallon of water.
stirring with stick to hasten solu-
ton, and apply with hand sprayer.
Use one gallon solution to one square
rod grass plot. If the first applica-
ton is not completely successful,
spray second time. Repeated spray
ing will be rewarded by the eradica-
tion of the plant.
The grass and clover will be black
ened and appear killed, but this need
cause no alarm; they are not mortally
injured and in a few days recover
and grow with increased vigor.
The solution can be made and
sprayed over a square rod plot of
grass in less than half an hour.
Freshly cut lawn grass leaves are very
susceptible to injury by spraying with
sulphate of iron solutions; therefore,
do not spray lawn to kill dandelions
for several days before or after cut
ting. ~
Sulphate of iron may be applied in
large quantities $50 pounds to the
square rod) to lawn without per-
manent injury to the blue grass.
Remember that sulphate of iron dis
colors cement walks and linen.
