HARD TO PLEASE
Regarding the Morning Cup.

oh how hard II was to part with
coffee. but the continued trouble with
constipation and belching was such
that finally brought myself to leave
1t off.
Then the question was. what
should we use for the morning drink
Tea was worse for us than coffee
chocolate and cocoa were soon tired
of: milk was not liked very well. and
hot water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without it since.
I'VE have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not
take milk, so we tried Postum and
found she liked 1t and it agreed with
her perfectly. She Is today. and has
been, one of the healthiest babies in
the state.
Il use about two thirds Postum and
one third milk and teaspoon of
sugar. and put it into her bottle. If
you could have seen her eyes sparkle
and here her say good" today when
gave it to her, you would believe me
that she likes 1t.
IF / was matron of an infants
home every child would be raised on
Postum. Many of my friends say.
You are looking so well!' 1 reply. I
am well: drink Postum. I have no
more trouble with constipation. and
knew that I owe my good health to
God and Postum
Il am writing this letter because
want to tell you how much good
Postum has done US, but If you knew
how shrink from publicity. you
would not publish this letter, at least
not over my name"
Read the little book, "The Road to
wellville," in pkgs. There's Rea-
SON."
Ever read the above letter? new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full Of human
interest. eh!

Another large service rendered by
birds Is the destruction OF various ro.

trees and crops when they become
numerous.
The annual loss occasioned by in

Alleges Attorney
Peeped at Jury


Nowata, Okla, Dec. l0--Judge Bert
Van Leuyen, Of the county court,
handed down decision yesterday
setting aside two hundred and thirty
indictments returned by the grand
jury at the September term Of the
district court here, in cases charging
unlawful possession Of intoxicating
liquors against some thirty defend
ants.
The indictments were set aside on
the ground that the grand jury was
Improperly drawn; improper conduct
or the grand jury and the attorneys in
charge and that the cases were i'm
properly transferred from The dis
trict court to the county court.
The investigation Of the conduct
Of the grand jury brought out some
rather startling evidence, and the de-
cision contained some rather sensa-
tionaI statements.
It appears that soRse private par
ties here had employed an attorney
named Twyford to assist H. S. Cald-
well, enforcement attorney, in CON
Quoting affairs, that Twyford is not
an officer and that he eavedropped
the grand jury deliberations. peeking
into keyholes and cracks in the door
leading to the grand jury room. and
kept up communication with Caldwell I
IN the room by whispering aud notes /
and that Caldwell offered certain par
lies immunity from Investigation on
liquor charges in the event they would /
.estify against certain county Off
sers.
i was shown that the proceedings
'f the grand jury were irregular and
therefore, the court set the work aside
