Detective Burns Expects to Land
Other Dynamitevs at Early Date.


Chicago, Dec. Subjective William
3. Burns, who gathered the evidence
against the Mcnamara brothers in the
Los Angeles dynamitlng case, an
nounced, Saturday. that the arrests Of
Milton \. Smith and David Nj kap-
Ian, alleged aceomplices of J. 3. Nc
Namara, would be made not long aft
e. his Forthcoming visit to oss An
geles.
He added that sensational disclos-
Grcs would undoubtedly follow the
visit, which he will make in about a
week. or after he has made trip to
New York on another case. Just what
further prosecutions or additional ar
rests would be made he declined TO
say. but he would not deny that the
trail went beyond Indianapolis.
Where Kaplan and Smith are is not
known. Burns said that the McNama-
ras knew where the two We're living,
and added that you won't have Ii
wait long now before they are taken
in He added that inasmuch as Chi
cago newspapers covered the territory
between the Rockies and the Appa-
lach!an ranges, the Chicago papers
probably win be the first TO print the
news. This is his first hint that the
men are not, as reported under sur
veillance by his subordinates on the
Pacific coast.

A HIT
What She Gained by Trying Again.

A failure at first makes us esteem
final success.
A family in Minnesota that now en-.
Joys Postum would never have known
how good it is il the mother had been
discouraged by the failure OF her
first attempt to prepare it. Her SOC
tells the story:
"We had never used Postum till last
spring when father brought home a
package one evening just to try 1t. We
had heard from our neighbors, and in
they liked 1t.
"Well the next morning Mother
brewed 1t about Ave minutes, just as
she had been in the habit of doing
with coffee without paying special at
tention to the directions printed on
the package. It looked weak and
didn't have a cry promising color, but
nevertheless father raised his cup
with an air of e~xceptancy. 1t certain
ly did give him a great surprise, but
I'm afraid it wasn't a very pleasant
one, for he put down his cup with a
look of disgust.
Mother wasn't discouraged though,
and next morning gave 1t another trial,
letting It stand or the stove till boil
ing began and then letting 1t boil for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and this
time we were all SO pleased with 1t
that we have used 1t ever since.
Father was a confirmed dyspeptic
and a cup of coffee was to him like poi
son. SO he never drinks it any more,
but drinks Postum regularly. He isn't
troubled with dyspepsia now and is
actually growing fet, and I'm sure
Postum is the cause Of it. All the chill
dren are allowed to drink 1t and they
are perfect pictures of health" Name

But who would have thought OF st.

horses. Her orders to her trustees
we're to the effect that they are to pay
5000 a year for the care of each OF
her cats. They are also to see that
each animal Is properly looked utter
and treated with kindness. Her horses
are also to be provided for. not al
lowed to do harder work than they
have been accustomed to, or are to be
mercifully destroyed. All these un.
usual requests are explained by the
further orders of tho will to the Of
