Unique Expedition to Leave This
Country in November for the Orient.
A big ocean steamship will sail from
Seattle, Wash, Nov. 10, cfrrying a di-
minutive exposition which the merchants
and merchant princes of the Orient are
to be urged to visit while it fingers at
their doors.
n ship will carry no passengers but
exhibitors and no cargo but exhibits. 1t
VIII anchor only at ports of commercial
Importance, and from 8 a. IN. to II p. m.
OF every day that it is so anchored it will
be given over entirely to visitors. No
admission will be charged, but on the
contrary every effort will be made TO get
as many as possible to come aboard, with
preferences. of course, for those who
have business interests.
History appears to record no precedent
for such an undertaking. Maritime com

peoples for centuries. But the Occident

Gently European countries and Russia, to
some extent, have embraced the oppor-
tunities held out to them by the Yankees.
but the Orient has held aloof. 1t has
seemed. almost obstinately, to remain ig-
norant of our Uncle Sans ability to pro
duce and sell, as sell as collect and buy.
Under such circumstances it has be-
come apparent that something must be

The products of the United States are
to be placed so directly in line with the
Orientals' range of vision that the ORR
entails simply cannot help seeing them.
The old world having declined to come
and find out what the new world has to
offer, the new world has packed a huge
sample case and will go over to show the
old world, right at the old worlds front
doors.

AT each of these ports it will remain
from two days to ten days, a total Of
about six months having been assigned
for the voyage. American consuls in all
or the cities will be informed in advance
or the arrival Of the floating exhibition.
announcements will be made in the news
papers Of the ports of the names Of the
firms represented on board the vessel,

Will be requested to see that importing
and exporting merchants in the interior

CAN DRINK TROUBLE
That's One way to Get II.


Although they won't admit it many
people who suffer from sick headaches
and other ais get them straight from
the coffee they drink and it is easily
proved If they're not afraid to leave 1t
to a test as in the case OF a lady in
Connellsville.
Il had been a sufferer from sick
headaches for twenty-five years and
any one who has ever had a bad sick
headache knows what | suffered. Some
times three days in the week / would
have to remain in bed. at other times
1 couldn't lie down the pain would be
SO great. My life was a torture, and
If / went away from home for a day
/ always came back more dead than
alive.
zone day l was telling a woman my
troubles and she told me she knew that
1t was probably coffee caused it. She
said she had been cured by stopping
coffee and using Postum Food Coffee
and urged me to try this food drink.
That's how I came to send out and
get some Postum and from that time
I've never been without it, for it suits
my taste and has entirely cured all Of
my old troubles. All | did was to
leave off the coffee and tea and drink
well made Postum in its place. This
change has done me more good than
everything else put together.
"Our house was like a drug store,
for my husband bought everything he
heard OF to help me without doing any
good. but when l began On the Postum
my headaches ceased and the other
troubles quickly disappeared. have
a friend who had an experience just
like mine and Postum cured her just
az it did me.
Postum not only cured the head
aches but my general health has been
Improved and I am much stronger than
before. I now enjoy delicious Postum
more than I ever did coffee" Name
given by Postum Co, Battle Greek,
MI, TyE
