CHINESE ARRESTED.

All Lee, the Chinese, was arrested
and brought to the Central station to-
day. He was questioned closely and
told a St that bore out the state
ments made by Wilson regarding the
visit of the two men to his place. Lee
said that Croker had smoked five pills
of opium. but insisted that when he
left the place Croker, although a little
unsteady, was capable of taking care
of himself.
The bartender at Cronin's saloon,
questioned by the police, told the same
story Of Cookers visit to his place as
related by Wilson The bartender was
not arrested and would not be, the
Chief said.
In telephone conversation this
morning the Coroner at Newton, Kans..
informed the press that the body of
Croker had been embalmed early to-
day upon Instructions from Richard
Croker Jr. at New York and that no
autopsy would be held at Newton.
At Newton, Kans., where the BODY
of Croker is being held. the Coroner's
jury, which last night began an in
quiry into the cause of his death, con-
cluded its investigation to-day. Last
night the conductor. brakeman and
porter of the Santa Fe train on which
Croker died gave their testimony.
Their stories tailed practically with
that already known. The conductor.
however, testified that there was no
smell Of liquor about Croker when he
found him dead in the chair car, and
the Coroner to-day paid particular at
tention to this phase, in an endeavor
to determine whether Croker had died
from poison or from the effects of be-
ing drugged.

who prepared the body OF Croker.

STRANGE, ISN'T IT.

A woman sees hat or bonnet in q
milliner's window. 1t is in the latest
style, so she determines to have that
hat-or one just like it.
No use to try to dissuade her-she
wants that kind Of hat! No other
will suit her.
There she displays her will power,
and probably does the same with
everything she buys for herself or her
family. She makes, as it were, a fem
mime declaration Of independence"
Is 1t not surprising, therefore, to find
some few women who still allow their
grocers to choose for them in import
ant matters like food5tuffs?
In spite of the fact that grocers as a
rule have long ago realized the neces-
sity of catering to their customers
rather than their own desires, there
are still a few Of the other kind left,
who show marked inclination to per-
suade customers to take what they do
not ask for, or desire.
Take Lion Coffee, for instance. the
leader of all package coffees, an estab-
lished favorite for over twenty-five
years in millions of homes, on account
of it's absolutely pure and uniform
quality.
Wouldn't you thing it Impossible
that a single grocer can still exist VITO
would oppose such an invincible arsu-
ment Of merit, by trying to persuade
a customer to buy loose coffee in pref
erence to Lion Coffee?
Loose coffee has no standard quality
nobody can guarante thai. it is
even clean.
OF course, really independent and
intelligent women know this, and so
do up-to-date grocers, but if women
were as particular about coffee as
a about hats, no kind Of grocer could be
without Lion Coffee.

The "Tail Enders" That Follow Gen.
uine Articles.
1t is sometimes interesting to watch
the curves imitators make to get the
public to buy limitations Of genuine
goods.
Every now and then some one will
think there is a splendid opening to-
fix up something like Postum Coffee
and advertise the same way and take
some of the business.
An imitator is naturally ignorant of
food values and how to skillfully
make a cereal coffee, on scientific
lines.
Such men first think of preparing
something that looks and tastes like
the original with no knowledge of
how the grains should be treated to
prepare them SO that the starchy part
is transformed properly and the val.
liable nourishing elements made d.
gestible.
Such limitations may be foisted on
the public for short time, but the
people are critical and soon detect the
attempt, then the imitators go out of
business.
Something like 400 of these little
factories have been started in various
parts of this country in the past 9
years, and practically all Of them have
gone the "long Journey" Just lately
a new one has come to life and eyi.
IDENTITY hopes to insert itself in public
favor by copying the style Of the Post
UNI advertising in the papers.
This is free country and every
man who makes an honest product
and honestly labels 1t has reason for
some recognition, but the public has
the right to know the, facts.
Postum is the one original and gen
uine Cereal Coffee, made skillfully
and for a definite purpose. 1t has
stood through all the wars Of the i'm
itators, has won the approval Of the
Physicians and the people.
People who really seek to free
themselves from the coffee habit and
at the same time to rebuild the soft
gray matter in the nerve centers, and
thus reconstruct the nervous system,
broken down by coffee can rely on
Postum.
There's reason.

The immediate causes of headaches
vary, but most of them come from poor
or poisoned blood. In anemia the blood
is scanty or thin the nerves are imper.
fectly nourished and pain is the way in
which they express their weakness. In
colds the blood absorbs poison from the
mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates
the nerves aud produces pain. In rheu.
matism, malaria and the grip, the poison
i'll the blood produces like discomfort. In
indigestion the gases from the impure
matter kept in the system affect the
blood in the same way.
The ordinary headache-cures at best
give only temporary relief. They deaden
the pain but do not drive the poison out
