LOCK VICTIM IN ICE BOX
Robbers First Take $74 From G. Rossi
In His Saloon.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Not content with
obtaining s74, two masked men who
entered the saloon of G.. Rossi, 20
Chatham court, in broad daylight, put
the proprietor in an ice box, locked
the door and left the building.
Rossi, after he had been a prisoner
almost an hour, attracted the attention
of James Giblin, who rooms above the
saloon, by pounding on the floor with
a beer bottle. Giblin released him.
His limbs and back were numb from
the cold and his cramped position.
"Out of consideration for your gray
hairs" the robbers had said, I'VE will
allow you to have some air" and they
opened a small window near the top
of the chest to prevent the prisoners
suffocatinG.
Rossi said one of the men had a
black mustache and the other red
hair, but beyond this he could give no
description of them.

Chauffeur, After lnjurins Old Man,
Hastens Away.

Kittanning. Pa, Aug. 81. While
holding a frightened horse until an
automobile passed, Michael Karl, so
years old. was thrown into the road
and a heavy touring car ran wei him,
so crushing him that he died at the
Kittanning hospital half an hour later.
Karl was riding with William Brady
in a buggy when the automobile was
sighted, and he got out to hold the
horse. After running over the man
the chauffeur stopped a moment and,
seeing that the horse had not run off,
sped away. The number OF the car
was not taken.

it was last fall. In some localities

New York, Aug. 31.-Farmers and

Democratic Conference at Saratoga.

Albany, Aug. carbohydrates for
the Democratic conference at Saratoga

lard, secretary of the executive com.

He was seeking a way to break up
starch granules, so the digestive juices
could get to them.
Cooking or baking only begins to
do that. No old-time method breaks
up all of the granules.
SO he conceived the idea of blasting
those granules to pieces by an explo-
sion of steam.
And these foods resulted-the most
delicious, most digestible cereal foods
ever created.

Pulled Wheat 1Oc Pulled 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 a heat of $50 degrees.
That fierce heat turns the moisture in the
grain to steam, and the pressure becomes ire
mendous.
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1909-09-01

Then the guns are unsealed, 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.

There Are Untold ADVANTAGES
in Early Choosing.

First of all, you will get garments OF an exclusive character
kinds like which there will be no duplicates later in the sea-
son. Your next door neighbor will not have a gown like yours
if you get it here.
Secondly-color range. Now all shades that are new and
good are here in abundance. A month hence they will be
scarce-the mills having supplied their output.
The garments now here too, are made by the best men
tailors we know of and they are made ahead of the rush and
crush that exists at the moment in the big New York tailor
houses, for they are all in the midst of their busiest days. This
means a little more careful attention to details in the handiwork
and less opportunity for mistakes than when a suit has to be
rushed.
Materials most favored include Vale Cheviots, Homespus,
Bannockburn Tweeds, Serges and fine Broadcloths. All the
coats are cut from 40 to so inches in length.
The price range is from SIS to $75.
