ATHLETES FAILURE

the Right Food.

the Right Food.
CeceIius Y. Hale, of IVY Barclay
street, BLltImore, Md now quite a
famous runner, has had some inter-
esting experience in regard to proper
feeding. His testimony is worth the
attention Of any athlete, or. in fact. of
any person who cares for good, stur
DIV, powerful health.
Up to about eighteen months ago
l had been in many athletic contests
without much success. about made
up my mind it was time to stop, but
a ply steal director of the Y. M. q A
of this city advised me to use Grape
Nuts food and Postum Cereal Coffee as
principal factors in my diet.
Il accepted the advice and today
am in possession of perfect health,
and a great many medals won in diff
ferent athletic events. l can now run
race and. finish in fine condition,
whereas before l started on the right
diet. would find myself in faint at
the end of race.
Formerly 1 had more or less neC-
vous trouble and severe headaches.
l am glad to say since using Grape
Nuts and Postum Food Coffee l have
forgotten what head ,che feels like.
My heart is in perfect condition,
whereas, while l was using ordinary
coffee it would not stand the heavy
strain. This statement is absolutely
true, and 1 do not object to your
publishing it, for it may bring back
health and strength to some poor
being suffering from i'll health, caused
by the use of improper food"
There is reason for this; in the first
place. ordinary coffee will show it's
effects somewhere in the nervous sys-
tenn frequently in weakening of the
heart or in stomach troubles, which
prevents one from obtaining the
strength and value of food. 1t is,
therefore, necessary to quit the use of
this drug. aid in its place use Postum
Cereal Food Coffee and Grape Nuts
Food.
They were both invented by food
expert and are made at the famous
pure food factories of the Postum
Cereal Co., Ltd, at Battle Crack,
Mich. This food aud the food drink
are both made for definite purpose,
and there are thousands Of users
throughout the world that can testify
from practical experience, that the
theory is borne out by the facts.

ANOTHER INSTANCE OF
MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

One of Rock Islands busy depart
ment stores yesterday afternoon came
very near being the scene of per-
sonal combat over an umbrella. The
parties involved were travelling men
and the fact that it was raining at e
time and both of the disputants had
just failed to dispose of a bill Of goods
may or may not have had anything
to do with the situation.
The traveller who came in first had
an UNI brella which he laid aside before
getting dswn to the business OF fol-
lowing the proprietor about in the
effort to make a sale. By the time he
had about exhausted his persuasive
powers another travelling man came
up and he, too, carried an mbrella.
The first man went to gather up his
things and in doing so noticed that
his canopy had disappeared. Then
he bethought him of the other f6 low
and remembered the umbrella in his
possession. So the first man hunted
up the second and soon his worst sus-
picions were confirmed. He politely
accosted the other and animated that
there had been a mistake. The other
was sure there had not. The first
called attention to the umbrella and
the second gave assurance that it was
the one he, the possessor, had been
CARRYING for some time. Ode word
led to another till the first man said
he was bound to have the property in
dispute anyhow and prepared to take
it. At this juncture the second dis
PLAYED his initials on the handle and
the first retired in discontinue and
betook hims to the outer wetness.

PALMISTS DON'T AGREE
ARGUS REPORTER FINDS

In order to make a comparative
test of the merits of applied PALMS
try an ARGUS reporter recently suf
tered four different com nercial expo
nents of the art mysterious to ex-
anime and speculate upon the mean
ing of the individual psculiarities ex
hibited by the palm of his left hand,
taking careful note of t he information
and advice derived therefrom.
Three of the sooth sayers were fe-
male and all used practically the
same outward methods in reach NJ
their various conclusions. AL stud
led the hand with more or less care
and at the same time scrutinized the
face of the subjecs to observe how
the doses they were compromising
were being taken.
For convenience in making the
comparison each shall be represented
by letter. The youngest. u woman
in the early twenties. erect. shrewd
and calculating, shall be A. The
next, a woman 10 years older, deli
cate but well poised and very pains
taking and Conscientious. shall be

ual dressed in man's apparel with
long hair, finger ails and name,
general feminine attributes and
careful speech, shall be C.. A
woman past her prime and fussy,
evidently an amateur in the business
and laying claim to the power of
clairvoyance in addition to her skill
as a pslmist, shall be ID. All were
consulted within a period of a few
weeks so that their readings, if based
upon commonly accepted rules
should have been reasonably near
identical. All made the most search
ing examination of the lines of the
left hand, although both palms were
examined. The last one given claimed
the right hand showed the past aud
the left the present aud future. but
the others made no such distinction.
Each used a glass lens to magnify
the lines of the hand and in two cases
there were lighted candles burning in

purpose of giving any needed light
All told some things that were true
and more that were not. To facili
tate comparison Of the substance OF
the four readings a skeleton outline
is given sho wing the versions of each
upon the different phases of the life
of the subject generally touched upon
The accompanying letters indicate to
whom each version is to be attributed !:
Length of Life of the Subiect-B,
90 years; c, 6S ID 20 years; ID. So

He ,lth-A, poor to middle life; b

Natural Bent-A. professional; c
palmist, musician or artist; ID. medI.
ciOe or surgery.
Material Prosperity = A, prosper
and die poor; B, life of hard work {;
c, will earn and keep; D. will attain
riches through speculation.
Marriage-A, twice welded and
twice left alone; b. no marriage, but
romance at 80; G, marry moderately
dark woman; ID, marry twice, blonde
first
Affectious-A, tickle; B. indiffer-
ent to women; c. constant; d. true.
Loss of Relatives-A. recent death.
three more impending; b. death near
future.
Disposition-B, firm, practical,
good business instincts; G, positive,
practical. but yield to temptation; A,
no head for business.
All declared that early LIFE had been
full of change. that ano her change
was i'm minsnt, that the subject was a
fair Judge of human nature, thai
there mad been q romance in early life
and that the future was full of prom
Use.
The above is the main portion of
the four readings simmered down to
detinite statements AS in all simi-
lar deliueations when reduced to
solid matter, the residue is dis
appointing in quantity. Comparison
will show that the Representation
could not have been b .sed upon a
commonly applied code or formula

stance except those things which
we're easily drawn from the general
appearance of the subject, or more
marked still, those which were in
spired by a common effort to cater to
human weakness, that il must be
seen that no common system was
used as basis for the divinations
aud that in many cases mere guess.
work was ''palmed" off as the real
article.
All four of the above fortune tel
lers" made a number of ambigu Jus
statements and then watched the sub
iect narrowly for some clew before
proceeding to make them more def
mite. This was demonstrated by the
latter on several occasions by inten-
tionallv giving the wrong sign both
by word and action. Another COM
mon trick was that of making a strik-
ing statement and then by degrees
qualifying it in various ways till it
had lost its force and assumed such
nature that it would apply to any
person in the position the subject
evidently occupied Another appar-
emily common practice is to discover
in the hand of the SUBJECT that he
will make a remarkably good palmist
If he will cultivate the craft. This is
an eXpedient to catch a few unwary
pupils at so much per. If advice is
asked in regard to a future occupation
and the subject is young and appar-
emily fairly capable. the advice is sure
TO be to follow some calling that is
considered easy. and success is usu-
ally assured.
The comparison drawn between the
four readings in question must not
be taken as an attempt to depreciate
the value of the science of palmistry,
but only as it is applied commercially.
There may or may not be a more or
less accurate system of delineating
character by means of the lines of the
hands and much benefit NAV be de-
rived from its conscientious study as
a science. Further. while the aver
age reading as bought and paid for
may be lacking in the concrete es-
sence, the novelty of having ones
self analyz I'D as an abstract quantity
and the consequent stimulus it offers
to introspection is usually worth all
it costs.

All Doctors have tried to cure
CATARRH by the use of powders,
acid gases, inhalers and drugs in
