ABOUT COMPILATIONS.
Food Makes Them Good or Bad.


Saturate the human body with strong
coffee and it will in time show IN the
complexion of the coffee drinker.
This is caused by the action OF cof1ee
on the liver, thus throwing part OF the
bile into the blood. Coffee compieHlons
are sallow and muddy and will stay
that way until coffee IS given up en-
trely.
The sure way to recover rosy cheeks
and red lips is to quit coffee ana crlnk
Postum Food Coffee. which makes red
blood. 81 had been for more than twen-
ty wears an inveterate coffee dl1nker
and 1t is absolutely true that 1 had so
completely saturated myself with this
drug that my complexion toward the
last became perfectly yellow and every
nerve and fiber in me was atfected by
the drugs in coffee.
"For davs at time I had been COM
pelled to keep to my bed on account OF
nervous headache and stomach trouble
ord medicines did not give me any re-
l:af had never consulted physician
I, regard TO my headaches and terrible
complexion and 1 only found out the
cause of them after I commenced the
rse of Postum. which became known to
mo thru Crane Nuts. We all liked the
food Grape-N Nuts and il helped us so
that we thought Postum must certainly
have merit and we concluded 10 try II.
We found it so delicious that we con-
tinued the use altogether. altho never
expected 1t to help my health.
after a few months my headaches
were all gone and my complexion had
cleared wonderfully: then l knew that
nv troubles had been caused by coffee
and had been cured when I left off cof-
foe and drank Postum in its place.
Name given by Postum Company, Bat
tie Creek. Mich.
Postum will change the blood Of any
coffee drinker and rosy cheeks and
health take the place of a yellow skin
and disease.

it?" The correspondent confessed
ignorance, and he explained matters.
1t seems that after the war of 1919
the government of the United States
became convinced that the entrance
to Lake Champlain should be guarded
by fort strong enough to engage
any British fleet which might at
tempt to force an entrance to the
lake. And so Fort Montgomery was
constructed at cost of nearly $780,
600. 1t was an immense fortification
for those days, and was arranged for
three tiers of guns.
just about the time it was COM
pleted the joint surveyors fixing tie
line between the United States and
Canada came along, and, after doing
good bit of figuring, announced
that Fort Montgomery was on Cana
dian soil. The northern boundary Of
New York state was the forty-ffth
parallel, and this fort was several
hundred yards over the line. Work
on the fort came to an immediate
standstill, and the matter was made
the subject of special treaty.
1t was decided that in view of the
fact that the United States had not
Intentionally encroached on Canadian
soil the forty-ffth parallel should be
bent little out of its course at this
point so as to include the fort. That
is why the fort is called Fort Blum

the future bishop of Buffalo distanced
all competitors.
Whether it was ever his intention to
become a soldier is not known, but
the alluring prospect was relinquished'
and young Quigley decided to complete
his preparation for clerical orders.
After finishing at ST. Joseph's college
he went to the Vincentian seminary
of Our Lady of Angels. In 1878 Bishop
Ryan secured for the young man a
''bursch'' in the University of Inns
bruck in the Austrian Tyrol. From
this famous institution to the College
of the Propaganda in Rome was his
next step, and here, again, he bore
away honors, securing the title Sum
ma Cum Laude," May %, 1879. He had
already received holy orders at the
hands of the cardinal vicar of Rome,
Monaco de la Valleta, April 10 of the
same year. The present bishop of
Brooklyn, Rt. Rev. Charles E. Melon
nell, was Bishop Quigley's classmate
and close friend.
Returning from Rome in 1879, he was
hCu ny I'iShoP W q ICCtOI
ship at Attica, N. Y, where he re-
NAMED five years. He then entered ST..
Joseph's cathedral in Buffalo as it's
rector, having been selected from more
than hundred eligible priests. In
1896, just before he was made a bish-
op, Father Quigley became rector of
ST. Bridget's church, of Buffalo.
The episcopal see of Buffalo becom-
ing vacant in April, 1896, by the death
of Bishop Ryan, the Buffalo priests cast
their votes for Father Quigley, and the
selection was unanimously Endorsed
by the bishops of the ecclesiastical
provinces of New York. The pope gave
his approval in December, and early
in 1897 he was confirmed a bishop.
Bishop Quigley speaks most of the
European languages, and is force
in the affairs of the church. Last
spring he was brought into the public
eye through fight he began against
labor unions with socialistic tenden-
cies. He ordered all good Catho-
lies in his jurisdiction to leave social
istic organizations. This order was
followed by bitter contest, in which
the Catholic church was arrayed
against socialism and it's disapproval
put upon the movement for a change
in the industrial system.

A HOLD-UP HELD.

In short, fierce struggle, J. W.
Moore met and overpowered Ole Lar
son, in Minneapolis, an alleged high
wayman, who by the timely arrival OF
Louis and Gustave Stanley, was dis
armed of an ugly revolver and heavy
billy.
The black mask which covered the
mans face was torn aside, and in
spite of his hardest struggle Larson
was marched to the offices of the A
d. T., Fourth and Nicollet avenue
where he was taken in charge by Of.
ficer Bacon and later locked up in the
Central police station.
The attempted hold-up occurred al
6 o'clock on Fifth street south, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth avenues, in a
spot Swallowed by street lamp
where pedestrians on the other side
of the street would be unlikely to no.
tice any struggle.
