Puffed Wheat-10c Puffed Rice-15c

These are the foods invented by Prof An
derson and this is his curious process:
The whole wheat or rice kernels are put into
sealed guns. Then the guns are revolved for
sixty minutes in heat of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes tre-
mendous.
Montour American. (Danville, Pa.) 1866-1920, 1909-09-02

Then the guns are unseaed, and the steam
explodes. Instantly every starch granule is
blasted into a myriad particles.
The kernels of grain are expanded eight
times. Yet the coats are unbroken, the shapes
are unaltered. We have simply the magnifed
grain.
One package will tell YOU why people de-
light in them. Order it now.

The original Of the singular saying
"A skeleton in the closet" which Is
found in almost every language in Eu-
rope, is found in one of those curious
collections Of stories that have come
down from the middle ages. In one of
these collections, compiled by an un-
known hand about the middle of the
tenth century there is Il story OF a
wealthy lady who. having secret
grief, confded it to u friend who was
apparently perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife Of q nobleman who
lived in his castle in the south OF
France. She and her husband were

LEIPSIC POSTMASTER
BRUTALLY ASSAULTED
HIT OVER THE HEAD WITH CLUB
AND is NOW IN SERIOUS
CONDITION
Farmer Resi- dent of Neighborhood
Has Been Placed Under Arrest
Charged With Assault.

Postmaster Chadduck, of Leipsic
Morton county, was assaulted and
dangerously wounded while he was
going to his house. He had received
a telephone call and was going out
to answer it when he was struck
over the head with G club and
knocked senseless. His condition is
serious but Injuries will not prove
fatal. John Mooney, farmer, is I'M
der arrest charged with the assault
but maintains his innocence. Evil
dence is purely circumstantial.
There is no known enmity between
the two men. First reports sent out
from the little village were to hte
effect that more police protection
was required as there was fear of a
riot but this proved to be untrue
and there has been no undue excite
ment following assault.
