Speaking OF coffee. a nurse OF wilkes

coffee. After using Postum two weeks I
found I was much benefited and finally
my headaches disappeared and also the in

Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed a
marked benefit where coffee has been left
off and Postum used.
Il observe a curious fact about Postum
used among mothers. II greatly helps the
flow of milk in cases where coffee is in
elined TO dry it up, and where tea causes
nervousness.
II find trouble IN getting servants to
make Postum properly. They most always
serve il before il has been boiled long

The police are working in close conJunc-

P1nkert6n detectives arid the four corps
of sleuths are sharing their ideas and
clues with each other. The police believe
that the line of work they are now follow
ing Is nearer the right track than the
others.
Although the Identity OF the three ban
dts who worked with the leader is UNI
known to the officers, they insist that they
can name the leader of the gang. They
say he Is an old hand at the hold-up busi-
ness and has two partners now serving
long terms for doing a job with him, ne
having escaped capture.
Descriptions and other information con-
corning the supposed leader OF the hold-up
gang have been sent to all police head
quarters throughout the country. and the
Omaha officers expect that he will be APP
pretended. They say they feel certain that
he will never be taken in Omaha, and has
probably gone west to Denver or Ogden.
Some OF the officers hunting the Over

strongly to the theory that they will not
catch the bandits until they seek TO dis
pose of what booty they obtained in those
seven mail sacks.
Everything about this hold-up indicates

left no marks by which we could as much

they travelled, whether automobile or

as they came, but, nevertheless, we have
one clue which we believe will yet work out
and we are strongly convinced that we
shall capture the bandits. We behave II
