PoLIcE

Red BIood COrpuscIes Made By Good
 Food are the Police of the Body.
 When 6 man keeps good red blood in his veins he has sort of police squad and is practically immune from disease.
 Pure blood made from the right food will resist the attacks of disease germs and drive them out or kill them The first thing that should be looked to, therefore, is the blood. and prompt ac- ton to build up the red corpuscles by food. A lawyer in a Western town tells how he drove Brishts disease out of his system by supplying good red blood by food;
 For several years I had been af- fiicted with kidney trouble," he says, which sometimes incapacitated me for business. My condition became such as to cause great fears that Bright's disease was about to fasten itself upon me.
 T had always been very fond of cofree. When, however. the kidney symptoms became so alarming. quit the coffee, and began to use Postum Food Coffee. I soon became as fond of the new beverage as I had been of the old coffe, and. what Is more im- portant, my health improved rapidly and steadily until in q short time the kidney troubles had almost entirely disappeared. am convinced that my former sufferjngs and the symptoms of BriRht's disease were caused by the use of coffee, and that the credit for my cure belongs to the Postum. Name gwen by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek. Mich.
 Postum Food Coffee and Grape Nuts make good red blood. They contain food that Nature uses in the process, SO prepared as to be quickly assimi- lated. There's Q Reason"

In the chase for Val Banner. the ne- gro who shot his wife during a quarrel in the house, at North Haven, this afternoon, the bloodhounds from the SherifT's onlce took up the trail of two negro walmen. The deputies thought they were after the negro man until the dogs brought them in sight of two negro women who were sitting on the banks of Village Creek. They were engaged in the peaceful occupa- ton of fishing. Before the dogs could attack the women they were called off. The search for the negro man was abandoned, because so many directions were given and so many people had been about the house. The woman was shot through the knee and will re- cover.
