A great many people go on suffer ing from annoying ailments for a long timo boforo they can get their own consent to glvo up tho Jndulgenco from which their troublo arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his cxperlonco as follows: "I becamo satisfied some months ago that I owed tho palpitation of tho hOart, from which I suffered almost daily, to tho uso of coffee (I had been a coffoo drinker for 30 yoars); but I found It vory hard to glvo up tho bov erago. "I roallzod that I must glvo up tho harmful Indulgence in coffeo but I folt tho necessity for a hot tab!o drink, and as tea is not to my liking. I was at a loss for awhilo what to do. "Ono day I ran across n vory sen slblo and straightforward presenta tion of tho claims of Postum Food Coffee, and was so Impressed thereby that I concluded to give It a trial. My experience with It was unsatisfactory till I loarnod how it ought to be pre pared by thorough boiling for not loss than 15 or 20 minutes. After I loarnod that lesson thero was no troublo. Postum Food Coffee proved to bo a most palatable and satisfac tory hot beverage, and I have used It ever since. "Tho effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured tho heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particular! after breakfast, and I never havo a re turn of It except when 1 dine or lunct away from homo and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum Is not served. I And that Poa tum Food Coffee choers and invigor ates whllo It produces no harmful stimulation." Namo givon by Postum Co., Battio Creek, Mich. Thero's a reason.

The Japanoso havo concentrated heavy columns on tho Lino river and their advance divisions havo been In contact with Russlana who nro holding tho main road from Fakoman to Baahlonchen.

There Is a possibility that thoy havo destroyed other small craft, al though no reports to that effoct havo been received. Tho object of their visit Is not clear. It Is thought that probably they hoped to torpedo tho Japanese patrol at night nnd It Is nlso suggested that tho Vladivostok vessels plan a diver sion to assist tho fleet of Admiral Ro Jostvcnsky. Noon Although nono has been sighted. It Is believed the larger ves sels of tho Vladivostok squadron ac companied tho torpedo boats which ap peared west of Hokkaido yostordny. It Is douhtd that the torpedo boats would venture across unescorted in the heavy rca which was running when they burned tho sailing vessel. All of tho crow of this vessel ox copt tho captain, who was captured, succeeded In landing, but a steamer dispatchod to tho rescue of tho burn ing derelict was forced to return on account of tho storm. Tho Russians poured koroseno on tho deck of the onlllng vessel nnd withdrew after hav ing burned tho surface of tho oil. Tho torpodo boats havo not boon reported todny. JAPS SET JUNCTION DATE. Say Two Russian SquadronB Will Join May 0. TOKIO Assuming that VIco Ad miral Rojostvensky meditates a peody Junction of his squadron with VIco Admiral Nebogatoff's, It Is be lieved hero that tho meeting of tho ships may bo oxpected by Tuesday, May 9, tho speed of Nebogatoff's divi sion being only about seven knots an hour. These ships aro believed to bo In need of coal and Btorea and their deficiencies in this respect probably will bo supplied by VIco Admiral Rojostvensky at some friendly port ifter tho two admirals effect a Juncture. Tho future movements of tho Rus sian Pacific squadron is a matter of speculation hero, although tho dolay of Rojostvensky on tho Indo-Chlna coast has raised doubt ns to his pur poso to movo northward nnd risk an engagement at an early date. Tho Vladivostok torpedo boat de stroyers have not been roportcd and It Is believed they havo returned to Vladivostok. GERMANY HOPES FOR TREATY.

SAILS FOR SOUTH ROJESVENTSKY TO MAKE A JUNC TURE WITH NEBOGATOFF. CRUISERS ARE ON THE LOOKOUT Report that Fourth 8quadron Has Suc ceeded In Evading tho Enemy. Mikado's Representative Insists Up on the Observance of Neutrality. ST. PETERSBURG Admiral Ro jostvensky, according to a high naval authority, has sailed south to meet tho division of tho Russian Second Pa cific squadron, commanded by Admiral Nebogatoff. Tho admiralty has Information that a Japanoso division of fast cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers was sent south for tho purpose, if possible, of crippling or destroying Nebogatoff's ships boforo they could effect a Junc tion with thoso of Rojestvcnsky, and thero 1b reason to believe that tho Jap anese took up a position In tho Straits of Sundy, through which Nebogatoff originally Intended to mako tho pas sago into tho northern sea. Thero is .'so reason to believe that Nebogatoff first approached tho Straits of Sundy, but finding them too well guarded put about and headed north for tho Straits of Malacca, his division lacking tho protection of fast cruisers and being at a great disadvantage In meeting torpedo boat attacks. Tho admiralty expresses much grati fication nt tho fact that Admiral Ne bogatoff has successfully reached tho China sea but appreciates that tho composition of his division renders it particularly vulnerablo to a swift ad vorsary, especially as tho crews of his ships havo not had tho training in maneuvering or tho target practico which Admiral Rojestvensky's crows had whllo off tho island of Madagas car and the anxiety here will bo com pletely relieved when it is known that a Junction has been effected. Tho Russ today announces that Cap tain Clndo has been mndo a staff cap tain. Clado was Admiral Rojestven sky's chief tactician until tho North sea Incident.

Tho Admir alty had Information to the effect that Jnpaneso cruisers wore watching tho straits of Sunda, lying in wait for Adi miral Nebogatoff, and it is posslblo that they made use of tho waters of Dutch Borneo.
