MORE BOXES OF GOLD,
And Many Greenbacks.

To secure additional information di-
rectly from the people, 1t is proposed
to send little boxes of gold and green
backs to persons who write the most
interesting, detailed, and truthful de-
scriptions of their experience on the
following topics.
/. How have you been affected by
coffee drinking, and by changing from
coffee to Postum.
2. Do YOU know any one who has
been driven away from Postum because
ii came to the table weak and char
acterless at the first trial?
3. Did you set such a person right
regarding the easy way to make Pos
tum clear, black, and with a crisp rich
taste?
4. Have you ever found better
way to make it than TO use four heap
ing teaspoonsful to the pint of water

gins, then note the clock and allow it
to continue easy boiling full IS min
utes from that time stirring down oc-
casionally? CA piece of butter about
the size of a navy bean, placed in the
pot will prevent boiling over.)
5. Give names and account of those
you know to have been cured or help
ed in health by the dismissal of coffee
and the daily use of Postum Food Cor-
fee in it's place.
6. Write names and addresses of 20

Company. and a neat little box con-

20 next best writer's, a 81 greenback to
each of the 100 next best. and a 81
greenback to each of the 200 next best
writer's, making cash prizes distributed
to 1926 persons.
Almost every one interested in pure
food and drink is willing TO have their
name and letter appear in the papers,
for such help as it may offer to the
human race However, a request to
omit name will be respected.
Every friend of Postum is urged to
write and each letter will be held in
high esteem by the company as an
evidence of such friendship. while the
little boxes of gold and envelopes of
money will reach many modest writ
ers whose plain and sensible letters
contain the facts desired. although the
sender may have but small faith in

There are only three summer resorts
on the Atlantic seaboard, says the New
York Times, which have marked indi-
viduality, character, and what the
French we'll call atmosphere. These
are Newport, Murray Bay. in Canada,
and the White Sulphur Springs. New
port is unique, although it has faint
limitations in Lenox. Southampton and
Bar Harbor. Murray Bay is the most
foreign in atmosphere of all the Cana
dian resorts frequented by Americans,
and the White Sulphur Springs is no
longer the one great summer resort of

War Although the life and features

Untidy women may be known at first
sight by their collars. Look at the
ribbon around woman's throat if you
wish to discover whether or not she
is neat. This is the rule observed by a
masculine member of society. and-tell

forced to admit that he knows many
untidy women Next in order he notices
the finger nails. the teeth and the way
the hair is kept. For badly groomed
straggly locks he says he can see no
earthly excuse.
Beauty in a soiled collar or with
wisps of hair about her ears doesn't
appeal in any way to this man, but
whether he is a criterion TO others of
his sex. who can say?
This much is certain, however, the
masculine being who is unobservant of
the details of women's dress is no more.
The average man may call hem a

Florence Colo

Florence, Colo, April 26.
To the newly organized oil com
panies of Florence that are going
crazy over oil fields; such as the
Hill ranch, Rush creek, Boggs
fiat, etc. wish to say that over
l6 years ago in roaming over the
country [ happened to discover
traces of oil and on investigating
found plenty of oil on the surface
and five years later | was back
there and found the oil still there.
1t is, or was, on government land !;
plenty of wood on the ground and
near plenty of running water and
a splendid place for a townsite
None of the companies now in the
field are near this place, I think
this whole Florence oil field is only
a drain from this place.
AS | believe now a good time to
open up new oil fields, | am ready
to receive propositions from com
panies or individuals who have
capital and mean business.

Thomas refused TO reinstate 80 en-

A committee waited on Superintend-

that he could not take the men back
