POSTUM CEREAL.
MINISTER'S TRIAL.
Coffee Hit Him Hard IucssS.

A minister Of the gospel writes about
Postum: Il was for years a sufferer from
headaches; sometimes they were so vio-
lent that groaning in agony ] would pace
the floor or garden holding my throbbing
head for relief.
Il tried all sorts of remedies known to
the allopathc and homeopathic schools.
sometimes l thought II was caused by the
stomach or biliousncss and again I would
suspect IL was purely nervousness and
treated myself accordingly, but nothing
ever gave me permanent relief. Having
to appear before the public nearly every
night. it was sometimes almost impossible
for me to fulfill my engagements. Fl.
nally came to suspect that the Use OF tea
and coffee had something to do with my
disorder and abruptly discontinued the
use OF both and took on Postum for a trial.
-From that happy hour commenced
to mend gradually got better and bettGe
and now do not have a headache once iA
months and all my other troubles are
gone, too. l am now using Postum ex-
clusively and want no better beverage.
Il know of others who have been bene-
fited by the use OF Postum in place Of
coffee. A friend Of mine here in Key
West, hardware merchant. suffered for
years with stomach and other troubles
while he was using coffee. finally he quit
and began using Postum and got wen.
He Is devoted to Postum and when worn
and weary with business cares takes a
cup Of it piping hot and in a short time
feels rested and nourished.
Some / know have become prejudiced
against Postum because careless or igno-

LOOTED ADIRONDACK CAMPS.
THIEF GETS AWAY WITH $4,000
WORTH OF VALUABLES.
DR.. !. N. Holt's Camp in Upper saranae
Lake the First One Robbed. II.
Seiigman's Fish Rock Camp and the
Cabins In Doctors Island Also Visited.

PAUL SMITHS. n. Y, Aug. 2a.-Three
camps on the Upper Saranac Lake were
entered by a robber yesterday afternoon
and he succeeded in gathering several
thousand dollars worth of articles, ranging
from clothing to jewelry.
The camp OF DR.. E. l.. Holt, near the
southern end of the lake, was the first WIS.,
tied. As has been the custom here In the
mount aims, where the law of the forest
has heretofore protected all campers, DR..
Holt did not lock the cabins of his estate
when he went to row on the lake with the
members of his family. Upon his return
toward evening he discovered that the
cabins had been ransacked and many arti-
cles OF value removed. The robber. who
worked with the skill OF a professional,
removed the silverware and all the valu-
ables he found on the dressing tables in
the sleeping apartments, including watch
belonging to DIR. Holt and some jewelry
belonging to the members of the house
party.
The robber next visited the tents and
cabins at !. N. Seligmans Fish Rock camp,
the principal portion of which was recently
destroyed By fire. Since the destruction Of
the main building Of Fish Rock camp there
has been an active search in the ruins for
jewelry owned by visitors to the camp
which was left behind when the people fed
before the flames. While some of the
jewelry has been located, it was decided
to remove 1t at once to place Of safety, and
accordingly about $40 900 worth Of valuables
were concealed in a strong box in one of
the cabins. The robber searched the tents
and picked up trinkets he could get easily
but did not succeed in locating the articles
Of the greatest value.
He also visited the cabins OF Doctors
Island, where Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley Morti-
mer are spending the summer At the time
Mrs. Mortimer and several guests were abb
sent on a trip to Lake Placid The camp was
closed, the caretaker acting as guide with
Mrs. Mortimer and guests. While the search
at the Mortimer camp was the most thor
ough, it was the least productive. owing to
the fact that the jewelry and other articles
most desired by the robber were worn by
Mrs. Mortimer and her friends.
The owners OF and the visitors to the
camps visited by the robber do not give
out for publication a list OF the missing
articles, but the losses are said to exceed
$4,000.
Some one obtained fairly good descrip-
ton Of the man who is supposed to have
ransacked the camps, and the authorities
throughout the mountains are seeking him.
He made the tour Of the lake in a boat and
is supposed to have gone in the direction Of
Saranac Lake.

ARTISTS TOMATO BALCONY.
AIban j. COnant's Second story Garden . |
beauty Spot on 10Th street.


On the second balcony of the Studio
building at 81 West Tenth street, outside
the studio window of Alban Jasper Conant,
the artist, are four growing tomato plants
with ripe vegetables on them. The vines
and tomatoes can be seen from the street,
and this balcony garden attracts more
attention from pedestrians than anything
else on the block. The plants are a source
of interest to the occupants OF the houses
across the way and pedestrians often stop
to gaze at them.
Artist Conant ia very proud OF his gar
den, and he takes good care Of it. Mir.
Conant will be IS years old on Sept. %.
but he is still an enthusiastic student of
agriculture and Horticulture He says that
his practical knowledge of both subjects
Is one Of his greatest joys in life. Mr.:
vegetables and the way to grow them has
done much toward keeping him sprightly
and younger looking than men who are not
near his age.

at the window earden yesterday. They
seemed to be greatly interested in Che to-
mato plants and their speculations had TO

to an inquirer who went up to ask about
them. 4 grow them on my balcony for
the pleasure ] get from seeing them grow
and taking care OF them. I like to see some
thing green about. and in my tomato plants
l not only have green but two other colors.
I have two grades of tomatoes, the red
and yellow. The later are small and are
for picking. The others are the kind every
one is used to.
Il had another object in growing those
tomatoes where strangers could see them

many who might have tiny bit Of ground
and plenty of sunlight. While ] don't con-
slider my balcony tomatoes to he great

it when they began to grow. The trellis
work on which the plants grow | build

when the tomatoes begin to ripen you have
something that is worth looking at"

The Victoria left Siberia on Aug. l8 and
up to that date the Claudina had not ap-
peared. Ordinarily she should have made
the ports which the Victoria called at not
later than July I, and with even average
luck she would have reached them ten
days earlier. The Emma Claudina was

Bernard Farmer Of 2l Waverey place
was one of big crowd In Washing tor

Farmer called Policeman Shea, attached

Mercer street station with his prisoner
when one of the gang that had followed him
slipped mp behind and hit him stunning
blow in the jaw. Shea was full OF pluck
and started out to fight the whole bunch,
holding his prisoner by the collar with one
hand. He was doing beautiful y with his

whistled a warning and the whole crowd
took to their heels, running in different di-
rections But Shea's strong hand was still
holding on to the collar of Farmers assal-
ant. All the pounding had not been enough
to make him let GO
When DR.. McGeary arrived with an am
bulance from ST. vincent's Hospital, Shea
was about ready to faint from loss of blood
and exhaustion. The knife cut across his
forehead was long and deep, and besides
that, he was bruised all over his body and
his face was cut, apparently by brass
knuckles.
His prisoner was in pretty bad shape
also knife jab meant for the plucky
policeman had reached the prisoners
scalp, making a triangular wound. Shea's
club had done fair execution upon him,
too.
At the Mercer street station the hard
won thief was slated as Joseph Perry OF
400 Hudson street. He ia 10 years old and
according to the police, is one OF a bad gang
of young men that have been responsible
for a number OF outbreaks in the neighbor-
hood OF Washington Square and the quarter
south.
Shea will recover, but he will be laid up a
long time. His uniform was blood COW

Detectives from the Mercer street station
are after the members OF the gang that
tried to rescue Perry. Some OF them are
