My husband had been subject to
severe attacks OF sick headache for

Finally We purchased some Postum

Irely free from It and have never
been troubled since.

apartment OF Peter COMFORT, a coal
dealer. on the third floor OF No. 2305

the glass panel of the door that led into
the parlor OF the fat from the hallway.
There were three men In the fiat, Com
forti, two Of his workmen. and also his
mother and his two children. All slept
through the delicate operation OF re-
moving the door panel.
The burglars walked In through the
aperture, and then did something that
the police say is unique to the burglari-
Gus craft. They proceeded to fasten
the doors of the bedrooms so the Sleep
ers could not disturb them.
First taking up the tTO rooms occu-
pied by Comfort and his workmen. they
drove screw -cycs IN the woodwork of
the doors on both sides OF the lock.
Then they ran cothes-line through the
Screw-eyos until both doors were fas-
tened securely.
Having shut in the three men in this
fashion. they began fastening up the
door Of Mrs, COMFORTS room, where
she was asleep with her little grand
children They were getting along
nicely when one OF the pair twisted his
flash lantern in ouch manner that a
shaft OF liSht penetrated between the
cracks Of the door and fell upon the
closed ewes of Mrs. Comforti. She awoke
with u scream. The grandchildren also
nwoke and screamed. COmforti. awak-

with u gun In one hand and fifteen

gathered up their private arsenals and

All three men found themselves roped

kicked, but could not smash open the
door. Their cllmor, however, aroused

extremely annoying to the burglars,
who were compelled to forsake their
