POSTUM FOR MOTHERS
The Drink That Nourishes and Sup
plies Food For Mother and Child.

/, my husband has been unable to
, drink coffee for several years, so we
were very glad to give Postum a trial
and when we understood that long
boiling would bring out the delicious
favour, we have been highly pleased
with it.
ut is one of the finest things for
nursing mothers that | have ever
seen. 1t keeps up the mothers
strength and increases the supply of
nourishment for the child if partaken
of freely. l drank it between meals
instead of water and found 1t most
beneficial.
Our five-year-old boy has been
very delicate since birth and has de-
veloped slowly. He was white and
bloodless. l began to give him Post
um freely and you would be surprised
at the change. When any person
remarks about the great improve
ment, we never fail to tell them that
we attribute his gain in strength and
general health to the free use Of
Postum and this has led many friends
to use it for themselves and chill
dren.
II have always cautioned friends
to whom have spoken about Postum
to follow directions in making 1t,
for unless it is boiled fifteen or
twenty minutes, 1t is quite tasteless.
On the other hand, when properly
made, it Is very delicious. I want to
thank you for the benefits we have
derived from the use of your

A STRONG GROWING PLANT.

New introductions from China have
supplied many novelties of merit.
One of these is Aconitum Wilson,.
This new monkshood is allied to the
old A. napellus and is strong grow
ing plant, six to seven feet high, flow
ering in September. The leaves are
leathery, dark green and much di-
vided; the flowers large and very
deep blue. After the main spike is
past auxiliary branches continue to
bear flowers until the advent of sharp
frost. The rootstock is tuberous and
the plants require strong soil and to
get established before the best results
are obtained.
Another equally good but very dis
tinct aconite is A. Hemsleyanum.
This species is a climber, eight to
twelve feet high, and in wild state
frequents thickets, climbing over
shrubs and festooning them with
wealth of large flowers in August and
September. These flowers vary con-
siderably in color and though most
declare the pale forms equally beauti-
full. The best is not yet known of
this plant; selection and good Guilt
walton will yield something far bet
ter than the wildling The rootstock
is tuberous and the twining stems, if
made into cuttings in late July, root
readily. Aconitum Wilsoni is easily
raised from seeds, but the opposite is
true of A. Hemsleyanum. Both these
aconites are perfectly hardy around
Indianapolis and are well worthy of

THE BIBLE THE BEST SELLER.
Tho Enormous Demand for Il 10
Steadily Maintained.

The sale of the average popular
book usually shrinks within a year.
Few works OF science, particularly In
this day of eager research and start
ling discovery, have permanent val.
ue. A medical text book of two de-
cades ago is absolutely valueless save
as literary curiosity. But there
Is one book that always sells, and Of
which a single publication house in
New York has actually issued over
eighty million copies. That, of course,
is the Bible.
Mr.. Day Allen Wiley, in saying
that it is absolutely true that
in America the yearly sale of the
Scriptures are still more than those
of the leading book of fiction, has just
explained that only comparatively
few copies ever reach the book
stores most of them go direct from
the bindery to men and women who
make their living carrying them from
house to house in city, village and
country" The publication house re-
ferred to, 1t is almost needless to say,
is the famous Bible House, which con.
tinues to issue books at the rate OF
a million a year
1t is interesting to learn that they
are printed in over fifty languages
ranging from Arapahoe to Visayan-
although including tha foreign sta

some portion Of the Bible is printed
in about four hundred tongues.

monwealth to learn that, New York
aside, it has been purchasing more
than any other state in the Union. In
1907, for instance, thirty thousand
went to Massachusetts, ten thousand
to California, 100000 to Illinois, 1885,!
900 to Pennsylvania. Mr. Wiley says
that most of the books sent to this
state were wanted in the mining and
manufacturing districts and he adds:
Although the society has sent Bibles
to Penn sylvania for over half century,
the sales have been increasing.

CHICORY.

Chicory is an excellent salad plant,
but not very generally known. Com
pared with good lettuce, the cost Of
growing chicory is very small, for a
great many roots can be grown in a
quarter of an acre of land and no
heat, special fertilizer or anything
else but labor is needed and the heads
mature in a very short time.
To obtain good roots the seed
should be drilled thinly in rows of
fifteen to eighteen inches apart on
clean, well prepared land, and the
apart in the rows. Sow as early as
the soil can be got in order and keep
clean until the foliage prevents fur
Their cultivation. The roots should
be lifted in November and stored in
any moderately dry and cool place
until needed for forcing, when they
should be planted in benches or
around beds in perfect darkness. The
least light will turn the foliage green
and make it bitter After planting it
is good plan to cover the soil with
leaves if these are at hand as this
will prevent soil being carried up by
the growth and making the leaves
dirty. When first planted every par
ticle of soil should be thoroughly
watered and this will make it easy to
keep the crop going after it starts
without throwing much water about.
The principal points are to obtain
strong, vigorous roots, to plant in en-
tire darkness and to avoid too much
moisture in the air of the shed. A
temperature of forty-five to fifty de-
grees Is ample and this can be MAIN
tanned in any sheltered shed with
very little trouble. The Witloof or
Brussels chicory is the best variety.

Rockefeller's
Gift to
All Mankind

"A PHILANTHROPY work that
kA is attracting worldwide inter-
X VA est, inaSmuch as it affects all
mankind, is that of John D..
Rockefeller, who now plans a new
foundation for spreading education
and promoting all elements Of progress
throughout the universe. The bill in
troduced in the United States senate
recently for a charter for Mr.. Rookie
feller's project gives one some idea Of
the sweeping character of the under
taking. Part Of the text of this meas
ure is as follows:
The object Of the said corporation shall
be to promote the well being and to ad-
vance the civilization Of the peoples of
the United States and it's territories and
possessions and of foreign lands in the
acquisition and dissemination of knowl-
edge. in the prevention and relief of suf-
fer1ng and In the promotion Of any and
all of the elements of human progress.
This foundation is to be Mr.. Rookie
feller's final and most comprehensive
means Of doing good in the world with
his money, not only while he lives, but
for many years, even centuries, after
he is dead, and it is understood that
the new source Of benefits to human
ity is to have no limitations in scope,
time, country or race, but is designed
to crown all that he has done before.

sCHIFF ON FAR EAST PRoBL-M
The Banker Tells Why He Sounds
Japan Warning.

The Banker Tells Why He Sounds
Japan Warning.
Jacob H. Schiff. the New York BANK
er. who made the startling declara-
ton at the Republican club luncheon
in New York the other day that a
conflict between Japan and the United
States vas inevitable. recently reiter-
ated his views in a written statement.
The bankers statement and his at
titude at the present time are consid-
cred particularly significant in view
of the fact that in his public utter
ances he has always been most friend
~ toward the mikado's people. Less
than two years ago at a banquet in
honor of Baron Sakatani he stated
that the thought Of war between the
nations in question could only be con-
ceived by a %stupendous stretch of the
Imagination. Mr.. Schiff also helped
finance Japan in her wal with Russia.
Here is what Mr.. Schiff said at the
luncheon:
1.-THE most difficult problem we have
to deal with is the far east problem.
l am sorry to have to say it, but we
are in danger of war over this same
question. AS a friend Of Japan, one
who helped to finance it's late war, 1
regret this inevitable conclusion. Dur
ing the last few weeks it has develop
ed to my personal modification that
Japan has Joined hands with the enc
my of all mankind-Russia.
Russia and Japan have evidently
n purpose-at present, at least-and
that is to keep China as, a lesser state.
And %peridious Albion. which has al
ways professed to be an enlightening
friend of mankind, is a party to this
coalition. If we are not careful, If we
do not show the right craftsmanship.
we will be drawn into a controversy
with this arrangement in a most dis
agreeable manner.
Heretofore we white men have
said, we are Caucasians and they are
yellow men, And we have expected
them to accept this and bow to us &C
cordingly. This they are not going &c
do. They have prejudices of their
own-those born Of their ancient civil
lization. A conflict with them is inevi-
table,"
Mr.. "Schiff when seen at his home
was reluctant to discuss the matter
further at the present time. The only
statement he would consent to make
for publication was reduced to writing
by himself and is as follows:
"Mr. Schiff's remarks have been
based solely upon his own observa-
tons and a close study Of the situa-
ton and not upon any special informa-
ton. He has spoken Of a coming
struggle, but not of war, and has sim
ply desired to arouse the people of the
United States to the necessity of prop
erly meeting the situation in a spirit
of righteousness. Because Of this he
ended his remarks with the words of
the prophet. Not by right and not by
power. but in my spirit, saith the
Lord"
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1910-04-07

The fortune Of MI. Rockefeller has
been variously estimated at from $780,
100000 to 81, 0OO.OO0,OOO. Some time
ago Mr.. Gates was quoted as saying
that Mr.. Rockefeller was worth be-
tween $3.50, 10000 and $30O,O0O,O 900.
There have been amusing misstate-
ments about Mr.. R~ockefeller's for
tune" he vas quoted at that time as
saying. For several years Senator
Hoar in the United States senate cred
tied him with a fortune Of 81, ,000,-
600, and recently statements have
been published throughout the coun-
try that he had a yearly income Of
$1OO,OOO,O00. Mr.. Rockefeller himself
has authorized the statement that his
fortune cannot exceed 100000. 1000,
and his income In his most prosperous
year has not been more than S20,O00.-
O0O."

Can You See Air2

IT air cannot be seen, what is it that
we see quivering above a field Oh a
hot summer day or ever above a hot
stove in the house? That question has
puzzled many a head, both old and
young. The answer usually given is
d a it is the heat. but heat cannot be
seen and therefore it is not the heat.
The explanation Of the phenomenon is
really quite simple. like all such things.
When we hear it. AS a matter of fact,
IL IS air that we see quivering, but
neat makes it visible. The quivering
IS caused by the upward passage, close
Dy each other. of small currents of air
