1t is doubtful whether the balloon recent
" seen in the north sea was that of An
dree. If balloon was seen there, the
probability Is that it was that of Andree.
No one else has taken balloon voyage in
that direction. or at least that far north.
IL any one else had ventured that far into
the Arctic regions, it would certainly have
been known. Therefore, we conclude, in
the absence of any accounting for any 9th
er balloon over the north sea, il must have
been Andrce's, who was the only man
known to be ballooning in that region.

Some man in South Texas who has
followed the Biblical instruction to such
an extent that his wife recently gave
birth to three-of-a-kind at one time. has.

special rate allowed on triplets. While
the law allowing the commission to

action in this matter, enough they are
rather inclined to feel proud of being
called on in such an emergency.

AMERICANS AS A RULE

Are Not Favorably Disposed Towards
Counterfeits,
Either counterfeit money or counter
felt goods of any kind The United
States court, sitting at Rochester, n.
Y, has ordered an injunction against
the sale of Grain 0 IN packages made
to initiate the original Postum Cereal
Food Coffee packages.
The counterfeit IN this case was put
out in packages having the redssseals
and much of the wording of Postum,
and the non discriminating public have
been given this or some one of the
other various limitations when calling
at the stores for the original Postum
Cereal Food coffee.
These makers Of articles to furnish
grocers with which to substitute" for
some original article have little idea
of hygienic or food value in cereal
coffee. Some counterfeits are offered
in place of Postum because the package
weighs two pounds, while the genuine
package weighs but II lbs One coun-
terfeit two pound package looks like
Drowned rye kernels ground. 1t is
probably harmless enough, but no idea
flood value is there. Postum is made
by skilIful food experts, 20 per cent.
being secured from the parts of the
cereals containing the albnmen and
phosphates required by the human
body to rebuild the gray matter in the
nerve cells. This part also produces
the disatase which digests starch.
That's why Postum makes red blood"
and why thoughtful people use 1t regu-
larly. Buyers should look for the red
seals and the registered United States
trade mark.
Grocers sell the original and genuine
Postum at l5 and rs cents package.
