WORkMEN RISK THEIR LIVES.
Operate Drill in Well Containing
Heavy Charge of NitroeIycerin.

Oakland City, Ind, September t.
A shot of $50 quarts of nitroglycerin
was placed in an oil well in the local
field but when the shooter attempted
to discharge it the mechanism failed
to work. When the casing was pulled
from the well the earth caved in over
the shot.
The situation then was either
abandonment of the well or drilling
down to the shot. The latter course
was decided on and the heavy tools
sent into the hole drilling begun over
the nitroglycerin.
One little jar would have discharged
the heavy charge and the six men,
working above, would have stood small
chance of escaping with their lives
SO accurate We're the workmen in their
calculations that the shot was sue
cessfully drilled out and later dis
charged after the tools were drawn
from the well. This is the first tim
in the local field that this hazardous
task has been attempted

of an iconoclastic prist Satni. was
strikingly presented by Henry Ainley,
and a blind girl, Mieris, was patheti-

When prominent men realize the in

in health that Postum can bring. they
are glad to lend their testimony for the
benefit of others.

"My mother, since her early child
hood. was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for a number of years, and complained
of that weak all over feeling and SICK
stomach.
"Scme time ago, I was making an
Official visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one OF the
merchants of the place. l noticed a
somewhat peculiar favour of the coffee,
and asked him concerning it. He re-
piled that it was Postum.
81 was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, l bought package
to carry home with me and had wife
nrenare some for the next meal. The
whole family liked it so well, that we
discontinued coffee and used Postum
entirely.
.I had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers condl-
tion. but we noticed that after USING
Postum for a short time, she felt Sc
much better than she did prior to Its
use and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of US.
