LIKE A FAIRY TALE.
The Story of Postum Cereal in Words
and Pictures.

The growth of the Postum Cereal
Co. is like fairy tale, but it is true,
every word of it.
1.-The Door Unbolted' is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and il
lustrates, the story of this remark
able growth. 1t takes the reader from
the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial offices and great
factory buildings of the White City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, so carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises Of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to a whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general office building of Mr.. Post
and his associates is reproduction of
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms of the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than like offices.
That Mr.. Post has believed thor
oughly in the idea of giving to his
employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by the
general office building of the Company
and it's furnishings, but by his fac
tories as well, and of all of these
things this beautiful little booklet tells
the interesting story. 1t will be sent
to anyone on request.

Checked Attempt at Monopoly.

Trusts were sometimes dealt with
summarily in old England. For i'll

company show that ION Monday, July
80, 1922, Robert Chichele, the mayor OF
London, sent for the masters and IL
of the most worthy of our company to
appear at the Guildhall for selling dear
ale. After much dispute about the
price and quantity of malt, wherein
Whityngtope, the late mayor, declared
that the brewers had ridden into the
country and forestalled the malt, to
raise it's price, they were convicted in
the penalty of G20 ($100, which OBJ

A BRIDGE OF MAHOGANY.
Valuable Wood Used in Mexican Struc.
ture for Pedestrians and Teame.

AS mahogany is among the most
costly woods in the world, it may be
inferred that Ghis tropical material
Is not very extensively employed in
the construction of buildings, etc. A
bridge constructed of solid mahogany
is certainly rarity, curiosity.
There is one, claimed to be the only
one in the world, built of that mate
rial. This structure is located in the
department of Palenque state of Chi
apas, republic of Mexico. This dis
trict lies in the extreme southwestern
part of Mexico. near the boundary line
of Guatemala.
The mahogany bridge is construct
ed entirely of that valuable wood,
except some iron braces and nails that
are necessary. The bridge spans the
Rio Michol and it's total length, in
cluding approaches, exceeds $50 feet,
while the width is Is feet 1t is used
by both teams and pedestrians and,
though somewhat rude and primitive
in construction, 1t is very substantial.
None of the timbers of the flooring
were sawed, for in that region there
are no sawmills, but were hewn and
split.
In that section Of old Mexico there
are several very large rubber planta-
tfons, and mahogany trees are quite
common. In clearing away the trop-
ical forests for setting out the young
rubber trees the mahogany growths
are also cut down and removed. AS
this wood is quite abundant, some of

ese pelagic sealing fleet which oper-
ated in Bering Sea during the sum-
mer consisted of at least 16 vessels,
each of which carried a crew of 30
men, and from five to seven small
boats for sealing.
1t was only when the crews of the
schooners landed, or attempted to

group that they (the United States
agents) were able to make arrests,
and those of the Japanese who were
killed belonged to parties which
were caught red-handed and were at

These statements are made in a
report to Secretary Metcalf by Edwin
w. Sims, then solicitor of the depart
ment of commerce and labor, now
United States district attorney at
Chicago, OF the seal poaching by Jap
anese on the Pribilof islands early
last summer. which resulted in the
killing of five Japanese raiders, the
wounding of two and the capture of a
total of II prisoners, including the
two wounded. The report was made
public Thursday by Secretary Met

Mr.. Sims reports that five or six of
the Canadian pelagic sealing fleet op-
Grated in Alaskan waters in May and
June last, during the closed season,
and that the Japanese fleet took thou
sands of seals within the territorial
waters of the United States surround

100000 to 100000 seals which the
herd originally contained, not more
than 1000 remain.

HIS TROUBLE WAS INTERNAL.
Indian Chief Had Peculiar Ideas About
Hydrophobia.

Mayor Stoy of Atlantic City was
describing the cosmopolitan throngs
that visit his famous and gay resort.

said. Greeks, Turks, Hindoos, Chi

of the physicians of the Pasteur In
stitute-the hospital, you know, for
the prevention and cure of hydropho-
bia. The Pasteur Institute reminded
me of Atlantic City, its visitors seemed
to be of such diversified character.
THE physician told me about an In
dian chief who had come to him for
treatment last year.

There was no more to be said, and

Winton scribbled line of acceptance
on leaf of his notebook and sent it
across to the Rosemary by the hand
of the water boy. But in the evening,
as they were setting out from the con-
strpction camp to walk up the track to
Argentine, he made final effort to

he protested. There is that consign-

his breath; but he maCo no more diff

aptness of that aphorism which sums
up the status post bellum in the terse
phrase: after war, peace" Mr.. Dar-

of an evening which Winton thought
worthy to be marked in his calendar

Rajah laid aside his mask of fierce
ness and bocmed hospitality; Mrs
Carteret was innocuously gracious;
Bessie of the fiaxen hair and the Rev

and Virginia-but it was Virginia wco

For another man the informal table

Winton was far above the trammel-
ings of time and place. All attempts
on the part o. his host, Mrs Martha
Adams, or the Reverend Billy to en-
tangle him in the general table talk
failed signally. He had eyes and ears
only Tor the sweet-faced, low-voiced

of his replies to the others were ir-
relevant enough to send smile

GAINED 81 POUNDS
Persistent Anseniia Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

"When I began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field.
of St. Adams, Somerset county, Maine.
81 was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax, 1 had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anamia.
l had spells of vomiting, could not eat,
i'll fact, did not dare to, had such dis
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache 1 suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat SO fast that l could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. NV
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing had helped me until began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
l had grown worse every day. After J.
had taken the pills short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks L could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. also slept soundly. I have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from 120 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now.'
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure anamia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed. They are sold by
