CLEAR-HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.


The chief bookkeeper in large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm cof-
fee did for him:
my wife and ! drank our first cup
of Postum little over two years ago,
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion of tea and coffee. 1t
happened In this way:
'tAbout three and half years ago
had an attack of pneumonia, which
left memento in the shape of dys-
pepsia, or, rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. NY
cup Of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but became convinced, after
time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. | happened to mention
the matter to my grocer one day and
he suggested that | give Postum a
trial.
Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake of not boiling 1t
sufficiently, and we did not like II
much. This was, however. soon rem-
edied, and now we like it so much
that we will never change back. Pos
tum, being food beverage instead OF
drug, has been the means of curing
my stomach trouble, | verify believeil
for am we'll man to-day and have
used no other remedy.
my work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'s branch house here is OF a
very confining nature. During my
coffee-drinking days was subject to
nervousness and the blues in addi.
ton to my sick spells. These have
left me since began using Postum.
and can conscientiously recommend
1t to those whose work confines them
to long hours Of severe mental exer-

DESERTED, he says,
BY THE SUGAR TRUST
Splitter Ayers He's a Scapegoat
For Men Higher Up"
WON'T TELL WHO THEY ARE
But Complains He Was Ruined by
Company He Served Twenty
nine Years-Sent to Federal
Prison For Two Years.

/
New York City-After receiving a
sentence of two years in the Federal
prison at Atlanta, following his con-
viction in the United States Circuit
Court along with four other employees
Of the Sugar Trust, Oliver Splitter, the
former Dock superintendent of the
Williamsburg plant, made his first
public statement since his arrest It
was in the nature of complaint that
he had been made scapegoat to
shield men higher up in the sugar
company.
Splitter did not give any informa-
tion as to who these men might be.
He had been advised by Henry L..
Stimson, the Governments special
prosecutor. and Judge Martin, of the
United States Court, who tried him,
to do this ever since his conviction.
Judge Martin in particular told all
Eve of the convicted men that his con-
sideration of the jury's recommended
lion of clemency would depend large
ly upon the information they might
give the Government. All the men
Kept silence. The four checkers re-
ceived prison terms on Blackwell's
Island.
This Is what Splitter had to say
after sentence was imposed:
II am going to Atlanta because I
directed my counsel not to apply for
a stay of execution. did not want
to place myself in the same position
as Charles w. Morse. Through stays
and legal bubbles he added a years

the higher courts. / want no such
loss of time
Il am not saying this because I
apprehend that my conviction will be
sustained. On the contrary, / expect
new trial and an acquittal. The
sugar Trust made scapegoat of me.
1t deserted me absolutely. 1t pounded
and ruined me after had served it
faithfully for twenty-nine years I
started with the trust when l was
boy, and by industry worked my way
up until | became superintendent OF
docks in Williamsburg. 1t was re-
ported that | was receiving big pay.
AS matter of facial got salary of
$55 a week. The expenses of this
trial have cut into my savings and
have left me practically ruined,

the Government cried for victim and
the Sugar Trust answered by. sacri-
ficing me and four SIS a week check
ers. None of us was guilty of any
breach of law, but somebody had to
go to prison to save those higher up.
They say l had knowledge of the
alleged manipulation of the scales at
the sugar docks. l don't think 1 was

fifteen years. I had no occasion to

ences in the weighing of sugar the
city weighers alone were responsible
for 1t. There was every reason why
they should overweight in favor of the
seller so as to allow him to present
false bills to the purchaser.

Negroes Shot in Fight With Whites in
Tennessee Labor Camp.

Chattanooga, Tenn ~ Six negroes
were killed in race riot at Hale's
Bar, Lock and Dam, labor camp
twenty miles below Chattanooga, on
the Tennessee River. Ill-feeling be-
tween the white and black employees
of the lock and dam contractors had
been growing for several days, and an
assault upon one of the negro laborers
by several white men brought matters
to climax
After an exchange of shots be-
tween the negroes and five policemen,
rushed by train from Chattanooga,
and squad of special deputies, the
trouble was quelled. None of the
white men was killed or wounded.
The negroes who had taken the most
active part in the trouble retreated

sands Say It's the Best Thing
They Ever Grew.
The Wonderberry or Sunberry, the
marvellous garden fruit originated by
Luther Burbank, and introduced by
John Lewis Childs, the well-known
Scotsman, of Floral Park, N. Y, has
proved a great success all over the
country. Thousands of people say it
Is the best thing they ever grew.
Mr.. John Burroughs, the we'll
known author, Naturalist and BOSOM
friend of Theodore Roosevelt, says it
is the most delicious pie berry he ever
tasted, ana marvellous cropper.
A Director of tho New York Agri-
cultural Experiment Station says it
fruits abundantly even in pure sand.
In the short season of Northwestern
Canada it is a godsend, and fruits long
after frost has killed most garden
truck.
D. s. Hall, Wichita, Kan, says
thirty people grew it there last season
with perfect satisfaction.
X. S. Enochs, Hammond, La, says
1t yields $3.50 worth of fruit per acre
with him. Mrs. J. H. Powers, 4732
Kenwood avenue, Chicago, raised
enough berries on space 4x10 feet
to supply herself and friends.
]. P. Swallow, Kenton, Ohio, says
its equal for all purposes does not ex-
lst
Rev. H. B. Sheldon, Pacific Grove.
Cal, says he likes the berries served
In any and every way.
W. T. Davis, Enon, Va, says it is
true to description in every way, and
fruits in three months from seed.
Judge Morrow, of U. S. Circuit
Court, says the Wonderberry is sim
ply delicious raw or cooked
Mr.. Childs exhibited one plant five
months old bearing 10,375 berries
which measured about eight quarts.
Mrs. Hattie Vincent, Hayden, New
Mexico, says it stands long, hard
droughts of that climate and fruits
abundantly all summer.
1t is certainly the most satisfactory
garden fruit and the greatest Novelty
ever introduced.

There is an old superstition that If
a spider settles on ones clothes it
is a sign that he will shortly receive

coming toward us. The moral is
thus: Such who initiate the industry
of that contemplate creature may, by
Gods blessing, weave themselves into

offer of prize of &400 for the first
kite of French construction capable of
lifting man to the height of 200 me-

1t is interesting to see that attention
is thus again directed to the use of

been somewhat neglected owing to
the success of the apparatus of the
aeroplane type.
