LILLIAN HATCH's TRUNK.
The Owner Insists That Her Sis
ter, Annie BOYD. Stole 1t.

Annie Boyd, recently arrested on a
charge of petty larceny preferred by her
sister, Lillian Hatch, was arraigned in
the Police Court yesterday morning and
entered a plea of not guilty.
The defendant is charged with having
obtained a trunk containing her sis
ter's wardrobe from a San Francisco
lodging house, where it was held for
rent.
Mrs Hatch asserts that her sister
made a demand for the trunk, offered
a sufficient sum to raise the embargo
on the same and represented that she
(A1rs. Hatch) had sent her for it. The
complainant denies that she ever sent
her sister for the trunk, and fatty
alleges that she stole it,
On the other side, Annie Boyd as
serts that when the trunk was turned
over to her she presented an order for
it signed by Mrs. Hatch and offers to
prove her assertion provided time be
allowed to summon a particular wit
ness from San Francisco. The case was
continued until this morning.
S. r. Hart, Miss Boyd's attorney,
states that Mrs. Russell, who had the
trunk, sends word that Mrs. Hatch au-
thorized her to let Miss Boyd have, the
trunk if she paid the charges thereon.
He says he cannot get a subpoena, for
her, as there is no Judge at present
here qualified to issue one.

A MOTHER KNOWS
Some Things People Don't Think
Of

Just why il is that children at the
breakfast table will beg for a little cof-
fee day after day, / am unable to say,
except that they have a deeply rooted
desire to have what their parents do
in the way of food and drink Then
believe they naturally like something
hot to sip with spoon. At any rate,
the demand is there. and I'm blest if
it isn't hard to get over, when one has
three or four in the family; but We
can't give our young folks coffee to
drink; every one knows its effect on
children, and it seems almost criminal
to set before the innocents something
we know will harm Them
So speaks a thoughtful mother, and
to such the food coffee, Postum, comes
as blessing to solve the vexed ques-
ton.
DR.. H. w. Pierson, Medical Ad-
vance, 6351 Stewart avenue, Chicago,
says: I'VE know of your Postum, and
are very much pleased with it. Decid-
edly opposed to the use of both tea
and coffee"
Postum will pass for coffee with nine
out of ten people if they are not warn
ed in advance. 1t has the deep seal
brown of old Java, and changes to the
rich golden brown of thick Mocha
when cream is added. 1t is made Who'll
ly and entirely of pure grains of the
field, wheat, ETC., such as are intended
by the Creator for mans use in this
latitude. Postum, the health coffee,
can be drank as freely as water with
out any of the i'll effects of coffee, and
in week or ten days time the old
coffee user will note a marked change
in his feelings and flesh. 1t makes red
blood in the natural way, and agrees
with babies or grown people. Made
by the Postum Cereal Company Qim-
ited) of Battle Greek, Mich.
Beware of fraudulent limitations of
the original Postum Cereal Food Cot
fee. Insist on Postum.
