the origin of the use of masks lay"
says writer, Gin the desire to con-

warriors meet in combat, the mask
conceals any expression, whether of

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.
The Door Unbolted" is the title of
a charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and il
illustrates, 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,
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 whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is tie 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 its 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.

odd moment-in his private carriage
and even at meetings of the cabinet
when only routine matters are under

Influence of Cigarettes.

People are only too liable to mis-
take cause and effect. Prof. Charles
Mohn, of the Hahnemann Medical col
lege, says that it has been proved
that the free use of cigarettes by boys
has tendency to make thieves and
liars out of them.", and that most of
the boys hailed before the police court
were slaves to the tobacco habit We
should turn it around: Boys who are
naturally thieves and liars are almost
all addicted to the cigarette habit.
