Michigan woman, II suffered from

heart would fiutter painfully when 1
would walk fast or sweep.

asking Husband how / was and he
urged that quit coffee and use Pos

made it according to directions and we
were both delighted with it.

used only Postum. I began to get bet

Of the Chicago Great Western, who. for

been indicted by the grand jury in
Warren county for completely In tho
pay roll padding" for which John b.
Hollenhors and others are now in jail
awaiting trial. O'Leary, 1T seems. has
left the service of the company, and
in connection with his furnishing bonds
for his appearance the Register and
Leader Of this morning says:
Jerry O'Leary, former roadmaster
Of the south division of the Great
Western, who was indicted In Warren
county for fraud in connection with
the general padded pay roll swindle,
and who gave bonds Monday for his
appearance In court next September.
left the employ OF the road about a
month ago. some think in anticipation
of developments which have just been
brought to light.
It Is claimed by his friends that
OLeary left the employ OF the Great
Western to accept a much better and
more lucrative position with another
road, and that he did not know OF
the impending investigation in War
rem county.
THE indictment against the former
roadmaster Is said to be the direct
result of testimony given by j. B. Hol-
ilenhors. a former roadmaster with Of
fees at Marshalltown. who was ac-
cused OF similar charges last Novem-
Der, O'Leary's name is only one OF
many that have been mentioned in con-
nection with the frauds. which are said
to have covered period of twenty
three years.
Seibert testified at his hearing that
he and Hollenhors destroyed one orie<
lnal time book and substituted an
other In which were added two dummy
names. II was this same scheme OF
substituting time books that Is believed
to have been worked all over the Great
Western system. When pay checks
were sent out from the auditing de-
partment, the dummy were sorted out,
cashed. and the proceeds divided
among the men who were In on the
swindle. This same method is said to
have been directly instrumental In the
