When prominent men realize the in
furious effects OF coffee and tbs
change in health that Postum can
bring. they are glad to lend their
testimony for the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools
in one of the southern states says:

a number of years and complained
of that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.

the merchants of the place. l. noticed
a somewhat peculiar favor of the
coffee, and asked hinr concerning. 1t.

wife prepare some for the next meal.

anxious concerning my mothers

using Postum for a short time, she
felt so much better than she did prlo
to its use, and had little trouble with
her heart and no sick stomach; that
the headaches We're not so frequent
and her general condition much i'm

to reach Boston, and makes it a
claimant for the trophy offered by a
Boston newspaper to the balloon which
made a landing nearest to that city
within a year. The previous record
was a landing about 26 miles in an air

perform it's functions and the aero
nauts were unable to determine their
rise and fall. Papers which Mrs.
Burnham CHANGED to have We're placed
in service. however. and by throwing
pieces of the paper from the basket ana
noting their fall the passengers were
able to follow their movements.
Until the break of dawn the aero
nauts had no idea of their location,
but when the sun arose they We're able
to see the Blue hills and Boston har-
Dor, and found they were being taken
in southeasterly direction, which II
followed would take them out to sea.
At 4.20 a landing was made in the
yard of Ralph Gilkey, at whose house
the aeronauts breakfasted. Pilot Van
Sleet packed his balloon and shipped
it back to Pittsfeld. while Mr.. and
