The president summarized the condition of the national defenses, and urged that a policy of wise military preparation he pursued. He emphasized the fact that the American people never would consent to the maintenance of a standing army sufficient to cope with that of the greater powers. He urged the retention of the present regular army, the improvement of the national militia, the passage of the present volunteer bill to go into operation should war he declared, and the passage of a law now before congress providing for a force of additional officers who will be able in times of peace to render efficient service in drilling the militia of the states, and finally the accumulation of guns and ammunition to equip and arm the force we could collect under the colors in an emergency.

During this time I was drinking coffee, didnt think I could do without it. After awhile I came to the conclusion that coffee was hurting me, and decided to give it up and try Postum.
