POSTUM CEREAL.
LED INTO 1T

BY Following the Habit Of Friends.
AS took my coffee in very moderate
quantities, I really did not believe what
my friends frequently told me, that
coffee was the cause of the gas on my
stomach, which has troubled me for,
oh, perhaps forty years.
/ am now a little over sixty years
old, and 1 know that this gas trouble
came on about the time 1 was twenty,
and has been with me ever since. 1
have denied myself almost every kind
Of food pleasant to my taste, but with
out any appreciable benefit.
All of my friends have known Of my
trouble, as it has been Of such long
duration. Some time ago was called
TO- nurse a sick friend who had Postum
Food Coffee in the pantry and used it
in place OF coffee, praising it very
highly. For about a week l used If as
they did, as my only beverage, and the
second day I noticed a change in nv
condition, and from that time on I
never had one attack Of the belching
of gas. The friends exclaimed. "Wbv
where has your trouble gomez" and
every one IN the house knew that 7 had
been entirely cured by leaving off cot
fee and taking Postum Cereal instead
You can depend upon it that never
since that time has coffee passed NV
lips, and never will while I can pet the
food drink, Postum. My stomach has
grown SO strong since that time that I
can eat anything l like and now take
great pleasure in my meals and in life
altogether. / send you a list Of friends
whom I know have been greatly helped
bv leaving off the use of ordinary cot
it's place. Some Of these made very
fiat, poor Postum on the start as they
only boiled it q few minutes, but it is
generally known now about here that
the only way to get the flavor is to boil
it long enough. L. NJ. Graham, 729

A POLICEMAN
USES HIS CLUB
ON A BOATMAN
Wounded on the Face,
Scalp and Lip.
ATTACKS WERE UNPROVOKED
CHARGES PREFERRED BEFORE
THE POLICE COMMISSIONERS.
Officer Frank Greenan Gets Back at
the Boatman by Having Him
Arrested for Bat
terry.

When the Police Commissioners meet
tonight they will hear charges preferred
by John Barry, a boatman on the water
front, against Policeman Frank Greenan
for unofficerlike conduct in brutally strik-
ing him on the head and face with his
club without the slightest provocation,
which is too common practice with
some officers.
According to Barry's statement. he was
in saloon on Folsom street a week ago
yesterday afternoon drinking a glass of
beer when Greenan came in and draw
ing his club, made rush at him, club
bing him on the head Barry ran out of
the bar into a room in the rear and took
refuge under a bed. Greenan pursued
him, and dragging him from under the
bed, kicked and dubbed him again.
Barry got out of the place as quickly
a s possible and went TO saloon at Ere
mont and Folsom streets. Greenan had
apparently followed him, as he had only
been there a few minutes when the Off
Ger made his appearance. Greenan again
dubbed Barry so bad that he had to be
taken to the Harbor Hospital, where five
stitches were put in lacerated wound
in his scalp, two in a wound in his temple
and six in wound on his lip.
During the attack in the two saloons
Barry asked Greenan TO arrest him If he
had any charge to prefer against him,
but this the officer declined to do, which
apparently is the most surprising feature
of the whole business.
Barry made formal charges against
Greenan before the Commissioners after
making a complaint to Captain Spillane,
and the charges will be heard tonight.
AS soon as Greenan was served with
copy of the charges he swore to a COM
plaint in Judge Mogan's court charging
Barry with battery. Barry was arrested
Monday night and the case was called in
court yesterday morning. By consent 1t
was continued till to-day, when the whole
facts will come out.
Greenan has been four times before the
Commissioners recently on different
charges, and If Barrys charges are
proved against him the probability is
that be will be dismissed from the force.

The important feature of the Rice invention
is the fact that it holds any kind of a rupture
no matter how severe it may he and is worn
with so much ease and comfort night and day
that a person scarcely realizes he is wearing it.
The case of Mr.. Milford is somewhat identi7
cal with that of Geo Bell of st. Charles,
MINI, reported cured by the same method Of
treatment. 1t is a wonderfully brilliant in
vention is sold at a marveously low price
and IS the greatest blessing ever devised for
those who have suffered with rupture and
enormously believe there is. no cure outside of
the knife.
Readers should send for DR. Rices Illus
trated book on the cure of rupture and mail 1t
to any one they know to be ruptured. Such an
act OF kindness will be worth a great deal to
those who suffer with this great affection.

Despite the claims so frequently made that
surgical operation is necessary to cure rupture
the case of Geo. F. Milford of Boston. Mass,
who resides at ASA East 9TH street, is pointed
out as a direct refutation of the surgery be-
lief Mr.. Milford ruptured for eighteen
years and tried everything known almost. but
such that trusses did not hold him and for this
reason the surgery idea presented to him
as the last resort. final effort was made by
the comparatively method invented by Dr.
w. S. Rice of Adams. n. Y, well known a
rupture specialist, and in two weeks after
treatment began Mr. milford practically
a cured man without having suffered pain,
operation, detention from work or suffering Of

POINT FOR A sM hLTER.

The pending contest between the
smelter trust and its employees may end
in a material benefit to Grand Junction
and the mining industry OF the whole
western slope. The proposition to build
an Independent smelter has drawn at
tention to the advantages which Grand
Junction presents for such plant, and
which correspondent sets forth In de-
tail in another column OF this mornings
News.
Every inducement exists for the loca-
ton Of smelter plant In that city. Its
railroad connections reach many mining
camps in the state-Leadville, Aspen,
Red Cliff, Ouray. Telluride. Lake City,
Gunnison and the Red mountain dis
trict-thus assuring varied supply OF
ore. This supply can be increased by
the ores OF Utah, Idaho and Montana,
with which its railroad connections are
direct Coal is abundant, as is also coke
while huxes are near at hand. The ag-
ricultural resources OF the surrounding
country assure cheap living, while the
water supply Of the Grand river is al
most without limit.
The News early called attention to the
Inducements which Grand Junction
presents, and repeats now the assertion
that there is now no place in the state
where the erection Of smelter would be
more certain to bring profitable returns
or be Of larger benefit in promoting the
mining industry Of Colorado-Rocky

Nearly all the state papers have taken
up The Sentinel's boom for the location
of q smelter at Grand Junction. The
double column article In Fridays issue
has been variously commented upon and
in Sundays issue OF the Rocky Noun
tain New, the following special from
Aspen appeared.
Great interest is being manifested all
over the state upon the location of =
smelter here.
Aspen, Colo.-The people OF the west
srn slope are taking up the matter Of o.
tablishing an independent smelter.
Plans are under consideration and am
pie capital has already expressed its
willingness to embark in the enterprise.
The closing down Of the Trust smelt-
ers has shown the dependence OF large
mineral producing areas upon the exist
ing smelters and the mine owners feel
that when there is big opportunity for
profit, as there is in this case, it would
be absurd for them to neglect to protect
themselves and insure Independence OF
any and all outside companies.
The sight OF tho proposed smelter is at
Grand Junction. For many years it has
been urged that Grand junction offers a
better opening for the location OF
smelter than any other point in the
state and leading citizens Of Grand
Junction are working in harmony with
prominent men Of Aspen and other ore
