fitted out at his own expense an expedi-
ton to explore the heart of Africa. Ao-
companied by two scientific friends and
about 900 natives, the count started
from the east coast of Africa and pene-
trated into the interior. His first object
was to search for an active volcano
which other explorers had heard of but
never visited. After a terrible march he
found it, explored the dangerous Rou-
Rnda country around it and continued
On until he reached the west coast of
the continent. For this achievement he
received medals from his own and other
governments and was made an honorary
member of many geographical societies.
Next he wrote a book about his travels
and then he went to Washington and
fell in love with Mrs Lay.

OPENS HIS EYES.
a Practical Test to Discover How
Coffee Effects One.

Probably no one thing will more pro-
foundIy startle a man than to find out
bv actual proof what coffee drinking
is doing for him When he realizes that
day after day the physical machinery
is not working right, he naturally casts
about for the cause in order to stop it
before it goes too far.
But to locate the cause is frequently
beyond the power of himself and even
his physician If such cases can be
induced to drop coffee and other mar
cotic drugs like tobacco, etc, for a
short period and use Postum Cereal
Food Coffee. the truth is brought home
in unmistaxable terms.
The need of a pure cereal coffee for
humanity was the active cause for the
discovery of Postum. Plenty of "COf-
fee Substitutes" existed but their IN
palitable taste prevented their use.
1t required over a year of experiment
to discover how to select the proper
parts of cereals and roast them in such
a, way as to give the taste of mild and
high grade Java coffee and yet pre-
serve the entire purity and food value
Postum now has imitatOrs that throw
samples about which claim to be pure
grain - wheat OF cereal coffee but
careful tests and investigation show
that every article of that sort which
has any distinctive coffee flavor. is SIM
ply a cheap, low grade adulterated
coffee: a counterfeit cares little what
goes into a customers stomach. The
analysis of Postum is furnished the
Pure Food Commissioners and Physi-
clans of various states, and it is known
to be absolutely pure and highly nutri-
tive.
Ten days use of the genuine Postum
properly boiled Is minutes after boil
ing commences, tells surprising tales
TO partly sick men and women.
