Of It and remarked that the 'coffee'
tasted fine but my sister did not tell

she kept the secret and kept CIV

/ grew stronger, more tireless, got q
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes; then she told
me of the heafth-giving, nerve
strengthening llfe-saver she had given
me in place Of my morning coffee.
From that time became disciple
Of Postum and no words can do JUS
tice in telling the good this cereal
drink did me. / will not try to tell IT,

WHALES GOOD TOEAT
Message Of Hope From North as
Meat Prices Soar.
American Consul at Vancouver De-
elares Flesh Of the Monster Of Deep
10 Both Palatable and Whole
some-Has "Nutty" Taste.

Philadelphia. - Housekeepers, take
comfort! Just as the price Of beef
is soaring skyward, and the cost OF
high living is driving many to distrac-
ton, comes q message OF hope that
whale is good eating, that there Is an
unlimited supply In the ocean, and
that the monster of the deep is mar
ketable, and could be put up In cans
just like salmon or sardines.
The suggestion has official sanction.
1t comes from r. E. Mansfield, Amer
lean consul general at Vancouver,
British Columbia, In a report to the
state department. He asserts that
whale meat is both palatable and
healthful. The general use Of whale
meat, he says, would build up an
important industry. He suggests the
salmon canneries OF the Pacific coast
might add the business Of canning
whale meat when the summer catch
Of salmon has been canned.
William E. Mehan, former state fish
commissioner, and now director OF the
aquarium in Paramount park, thinks
the suggestion, coming from such an
official source, ought to be practicable.
The Eskimos, Mr.. Meehan says, eat
whale meat and like 1t, and he him
self. when on the Peary relief expe-
dition in 1892, ate the skin Of the nor.
whal, a relative Of the whale.
~ ate 1t out Of curiosity" he said.
The natives are very fond Of 1t. !
ate it raw. 1t had rather nutty
flavor.
There is q lot Of fish and so-called
fish that are edible, though not COM
monty known to the people, as food.
For instance, the dog shark, the skate.
and the ray, They are commonly
classed among fishes and are very good
eating. They are cold.blooded, but
are separated from true fishes because
they have q cartilaginous skeleton In
stead OF a bony skeleton, which is one
Of the features of a true fish.
The meat Of the skate and the ray
is as delicate as that Of founder,
especially the part commonly called
the wings They have a pretty good
sale now in New York and New Or
leans, particularly among the French
and the descendants Of the French.
There are q lot Of things that are
edible and that people are passing
by as no good. But we will come to
eat them in time. Among the things
long thought worthless as food, but
are now considered fine, is sturgeon.
Thirty.five years ago the flesh Of the
sturgeon was not believed to be fit to
eat by the majority Of persons. The
only part they esteemed was the cav
lar, or eggs Now smoked sturgeon
fish is regarded as a great delicacy,
and brings q very high price in the
market. 1t sells for IS cents a pound
and even more at times.
Il see no reason why whale should
not be marketable. The Eskimos eat
It. II is rot q fish. Whales are nam
mails and warm blooded."

A DEADLOCK AT SEA.

Are land battles so long drawn out that they become verita- ble siege operations to be matched In the sea by deadlOcks created by submarines and mines? It seems quite possible from recent events iu the North Sea and the Baltic.
 German submarines have proved So destructive that British fighting ships of the first class, or even the second, are carefully kept out ot the most dangerous waters. Brit ish fishing vessels are blown up' every now and then, by German mines. In the Baltic much the Eame state of things exists, with the Russians, suffering as the Brit ish do in the North Sea and the German navy in control of the sea, as the British are In the more western field of naval operations.
 Great Britain has already mined some parts of the North Sea. Rus sia Is planting mines at the en- trance of the Gulf Of Finalnd and The mouth of the Gulf of Riga. Other mines are to be sown along the Russian coast.
 A little more of this sort of de tensive action by the powers in volved in the war will make it at- most impossible to use fleets at sea, near the enemy's coast. The risk of destruction by mines and submarines will be too great. It may come to such a state of virtual blockade that great navies will be almost wholly inactive in the North Sea and in the Baltic, except as to their smaller and less visible craft. The submarines themselves will be in grave peril from the mines, and therR may come deadly fighting between submarines in which they win torpedo one another and be sunk without any certain knowl- edge anywhere of the way they met their fate.
 It is the strangest and the most Stealthy and uncanny of wars, as well as the greatest and the most destructive.

Since last spring, there has been
some discussion of the village acquir-
ing ownership of several lots near the
Palestra and converting them into a
central playground. The idea met with
favor principally because of the loca-
ton Of the property. The grounds are
removed from business houses and the
enVirons are ideal for the purpose.
Furthermore, the popularity of the
First street grounds has been such
that there is "A demand for play
