have A new CLEW
Umbrella Members May Not After All
Have Cracked Bank at Port
Byron Monday.
THREE MEN CROSSED RIVER
Ferryman Recalls How Anxious They
Were to Get on Illinois Shore
Gave Him Five Dollars.

A new clew has been found to the
robbers who cracked the Port Byron
bank Monday night. While it seems
strange that it should not have been
reported before it was learned today
fos the first time that Harvey Gold
smith of lie Claire ferried three strang-
ers across the river about 10 o'clock
on the night of the burglary. The
strangers seemed very anxious to get
on the Illinois side of the Mississippi
and told Goldsmith that money was
no object to them and accordingly. for
So he rowed them across the river in
the biting cold wind. One of the men
professed to have been an old resident
of Port Byron and Goldsmith, who is
acquainted there, attempted to draw
him into conversation but did not
succeed. Since learning of the three
strangers WHO crossed the river, Sher-
if Kittilsen is inclined to think that
the suspected umbrella members who
have not yet been located are not the
guilty parties.

of her husband and herself was brief

just 26 days, separating Nov. IS. She
claims her husband within five days

The trial of the case against Eddie

Has Settled for Loss.

A representative of the Fidelity Cas-
uality company of New York has COM
pleted his investigation and made his
report to the board of directors of the
bank. AS the vault and safe were in
sured as well as the contents, it ap-
pears that the bank stands in fair
way TO lose nothing by the burglary.
The doors Of the vault have been sent
to Chicago for repairs and the safe has
been traded in part payment on new
and modern one which will arrive
soon.

producing foods, in summer, should be
sparingly employed. At least one meal day
should be Mapl-F1ake and fruit. Comfort
and health demand it.
But wheat knocked would be indigestble.
And wheat half-cooked would only half digest
The particles must be separated by fierce
heat so the digestive juices can get to them.
Else part of the wheat goes to waste. Worse
than that, it ferments and causes digestive dis
orders.
Even mere economy requires that the wheat
be prepared in the proper way.
So we spend o6 hours to make Mapl-Elake.
1t could be prepared, as some fakes are, in 1S or
20 hours.
We steam-cook the wheat for six hours. Then
we cure it for days-a partial digestive process.
Then we fake each separate berry so thin
that the full heat of our ovens can attack every
particle.
Then those thin fakes are toasted 80 minutes
in heat of 400 degrees.
