whose Business Gives Them Wide
Experience.
There are two great grocery stores in Chi
cago which rank as among the largest, If
not the largest. in the world Their names
are not given in print, as their competi-
tors would naturally protest against such
prominence.
The names of the stores referred to will
be given by letter to any honest inquirer.
The manager Of one of these houses says:
1--WE are having good trade on Postum,
the health coffee. made at Battle Creek,
Mich, by the Postum Cereal Co., Linn,
and our experience is that people become
steady customers when they once try it.
ut is known the genuine article of it's
kind and certainlyis charming beverage.
/ have brewea some of the counterfeits
which are on the market, particularly one
that has stolenpsFt of the name of Postum
Cereal"
If any one wants to kno w how good Pos
tuin really is let him try it along side of
the counterfeit. The original article has
great merit, or there would not be so many
trying to initiate 1T.
A counterfeit is always an imitation,
and only the genuine will satisfy careful
buyers.
The manager of the other store referred
to was for nine years located among the
coffee plantations of Java as buyer OF
coffee for the English army. He is rea-
sonably supposed to be coffee expert
Postum is used by his wife, children and
himself a. his own home

Counsel.

London, April 6.-The Times publishes
today a dispatch from tfeus, saying that
the popular impatience with the present
condition OF affairs is increasing, and that
demands are made from various quarters
for an immediate declaration of war by
Greece against Turkey. The Kings mac
ton is denounced by those who are anx-
ious for the opening of actual hoSahties.
The government journals continue 10
enjoin patience, but they have little effect
The excitable populace, which has set It's
heart upon war, will not be baked in It's
desire The murmurs are becoming OIni-
nous.
1t is whispered that if the government
delays much longer to effect the national
mandate, the pent-up tide OF patriotism
will burst, not on the frontier, but In
Athens. The seed OF discOntent is sown
bv enemies of the government, who cir
culate the rumor that a humiliating sur
render is meditated.

OIL FIELDS or JAPAN

Germany Endeavoring to Organise =
Syndicate at Toxic.
Consul Monaghan, at Chemnitz,
writes the state department that Ger
many is turning attention to the oil ter
ritory in Japan and that an effort is
being made at Toxic to organize syn
dictate similar to the Standard Oil COM
pany or the Russian trust for the pur-
pose of increasing production. It is
also said that oil has been found in
large quantities in Formosa-
The consul says that Germany is in
creasing its trade in India and is now
third in point of commerce with that
country. He adds that the United
States, with half the effort of the Ger
man agents, ought to obtain a much
larger share than hitherto of the mar
kets Of Calcutta. Bombay and Benares.
Mr.. Monaghan discusses the effort
Russia Is making to aid its farmers.
Every obstacle in the way of agricul-
tural development and the exporta-
ton of farm products is to be removed.
Agricultural implements not made in
Russia will be duty fnee for five years.
The consul suggests that American
manufacturers of agricultural imple-
ments should look into the matter Of
supplying this new market.

screamed and the bees buzzed and stung
until Rector Newton and the rest of the
