oiSTER'S TRICK
But II All Came Out Right.

How a sister played trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee tiend is
an interesting tale:
Il was n coffee fiend-a trembling
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
TO the poison that stole away my
strength. | Knocked at Postum and
would have none of it,
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn
ing cup OF coffee but did not tell me
what 1t was. | noticed the richness ol
It and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
| was drinking Postum for fear might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept Civ
Ing ne Postum instead of coffee until
i grew stronger, more tireless, got 9
better color in my sallow cheeks anC
clearness TO my eyes. then she told
me of the health-giying, nerve
strengthening life-saVer she had giver
me in place OF my morning coffee
From that time became a disciple o.
Postum and no words can do justic,
in telling the good this cereal drinl
did me. will not try TO tell it, fol
only after having used 1t can one b'
convinced of its merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's pow

} .dIor Curtiss
 In New York
MAKES KNOWN PLANS FOR THE
 BIG CELEBRATION.
WILL ATTEMPT A FLIGHT
From Governors Island Across Lower Bay and Around the Statue of Lib-
 erty-WiIbur Wright and Curtis Meet

New York. Sept. 22.-A flight from Governors Island across the lower bav and around the Statue of Liberty will probably be the first feat in aviation during the Hudson Fulton celebration. Glenn H. Curtlss. winner of the first international aviation contest an- nounced today that he would attempt this flight as soon as possible after he had assembled his machine. No llI-Feelins Between the Wrishts
 and Curtiss.
 Wilbur Wright. who has his machine almost in flying shape, met Curtiss for the first time today since the lat ter returned from his European trf- umphs The meeting. which took place in Wrights shed on Governors Island, was cordial. No ill-feelinK ex- ists because of the suit which the Wright brothers have brought against the Herring-Curtiss company for al- legged infringement of patents Wright asked Curtiss if he had found the information given him by the wrights before Curtiss sailed for France of any value to him.. MT. Curtiss replied that he had, and further pleasantrieE were exchanged.
 Ideal Grounds for Landing.
 It was while inspecting the grounds at Governors Island with William J. Hammer of the Hudson Fulton avla- uon committee that Curtiss made known his plan to fly around the Statue of Liberty. These grounds are great" he said. They are a lit- tie rough for starting. but they are ideal for landing"
 The Machine Wright Win Use.
 The machine which Wilbur Wright will use is of exactly the same dimen- sions as that which his brother Or vile used at Fort Myer last year; indeed, it includes part of that Ill., fated aeroplane which fell to earth, causing the death of Lieutenant Self ridge of the signal corps. It is not as fast a machine as the one which has been sold by the Dayton brothers to the signal corps. but it is capable of carrying two men and of making a speed of between 3s to 70 miles an hour.
 Curtiss will make no flights in a wind of more than five or six miles, but it Is likely that Wright may att tempt flights in higher wind if 1t is from a favorable direction. wright's contract with the celebration commit tee requires a flight of one hours du- ration. while Curtiss has the option of making any flight which his judg- ment dictates.

 An enthusiastic crowd which had gathered at New Glasgow to enliven the departure of two wedding couples, cheered Commander Peafy and threw rice at his car. windows. The explorer was given round of applause when he appeared on the platform, thinking that the demonstration was in his honor alone, but he hastily retreated when he observed that he was in the midst of wedding party. Another bridal crowd at Stellarton also gave the explorer hearty round of cheers.
