is said to be recovering from an opera

has to-day begun to gather its clans for
warfare. BetVeen these two rivals for

The favour of Postum, when boiled according to directions. is always the same-~mild, distinctive, and palata ble, It contains no harmful substance like caffeine, the drug in coffee, and hence may be used with benefit at all times.
 Believing that coffee was the cause of my torpid liver, sick headache and misery in many ways writes an Ind. lady, T quit and bought Il package of Postum about year ago.
 My husband and have been so well pleased that we have continued to drink Postum ever since We like the taste of Postum better than coffee, as it has always the same pleasant fla cur, while coffee changes its taste with about every new combination or blend
 Since using Postum I have had no more attacks of gall collie, the heavi- ness has left my chest, and the old, common everyday headache is a thing unknown. There's Reason. '

WILL MANUFACTURE OZONE.
Interesting Experiments to he Carried
 on in a Pittsburg Plant

A plant for the manufacture of ozone has been built at the Homeo- pathic hospital, and pathologists who are making experiments may he able to tell the world that water can be absolutely purified The result of the experiments is likely to prove of great value, enabling cities everywhere to furnish a water supply from which all organic matter has been removed.
 The plant was erected at cost ex- eeeding s10,000. The Idea Is the cre- ation of Prof. Girard of Belgium, who also has been making experiments. There Is only one other plant of the kind in the world, that one being in Holland. The ozone. which Is manu- factured on a scientific basis, is ex- pected not only to kill organic matter in water, but to destroy bacteria of every kind.
 Work on the plant was begun about four months ago and has been finish ed for two weeks, Ozone IS made by electrolysis. the process decomposing a chemical compound by the passage or an eleCITlC CuTTeHI lHTDuRH IL, Electrolysis decomposes the air and makes the ozone. This Is done first by passing air in it's natural state through lime. It's passage through the lime takes all the moisture out of It. The air In its dry state is then forced into a glass tube There Is a tube within a tube, One Is used for the dry air and the other for ozon- ing, and by the time the air reaches the water tanks 1t has become ozone.
 Men who have worked about the plant at the hospital and have inhaled the gaseous substance assert that 1t has cured a cold fin twenty minutes Many claims are made as to what 1t will do. At present experiments are being made not only with water drawn from the water pipes of the city, but also with water from sewers Experiments also are being made with disease germs. It Is known that the tests already made have been suffic- iently successful to almost assure that pure water can be secured by treat ing 1t With the ozone process.
