FROM TEXAS
Some Coffee Facts From the Lone

From beautiful farm down In Tex
~. where gushing springs unite to
form babbling brooks that wind their
sparkling way through nowery meads,
comes note of gratitude for delivery
from the coffee habit.
When my baby boy came to me
hve years ago. began to drink
Postum. having feeling that 1t would
be better for him and me than the old
kind of drug-laden coffee. I was not
disappointed in 1t. for it enabled me,
small. delicate woman. to nurse
bouncing. healthy baby IA months.
i have since continued the use Of
Postum for have grown fond of it.
and have discovered to my Joy that it
has entirely relieved me of a bilious
habit which used to PROSTATE me two
or three times year. causing much
discomfort to my family and suffering
to myself.
My brother-in-law was cured Of
chronic constipation by leaving OF
coffee and using Postum. He has be-
come even more fond Of it than he
was Of the old coffee.
In fact. the entire family, from the
latest arrival "a 2-year-old who always
calls for his 'potie' first thing in the
morning), up to the head of the house,
think there is no drink SO good or so
wholesome as Postum" Name given

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Ellsworth. Kan. The bodies Of
Will Snowman. = chauffeur. his wife
and three small children. were dis
covered slain in the Snowman home
by a neighbor who CHANGED to call
and who entered the house when no
one responded to his knocks.
The features of all the victims were
battered past recognition by the blows
OF an axe. which the slayer had used.
The youngest member Of the family,
a baby. had been beaten until its head
was severed from the body. All three
OF the children were under seven
years OF age.
The bodies were not discovered un.
til twenty-four hours after the crime
had been committed.
The authorities have failed to find
anything pointing to cause Of the
crime. nor clue to the guilty per-
son.
The Snowman home is a small, two
room cottage in the outskirts of
Ellsworth, 300 or 400 yards from the
nearest house.
The bodies of the five victims were
found In one room. The father. moth
er and baby on one bed, and the two
other children in second bed.
The room looked like a slaughter
pen. There was blood on the walls,
ceiling. floor. beds and every article
in the room.
In this room also was the bloody axe
which the murderer had used and
which he had left in his flight.
The night before the murder all the
members of the Snowman family Wis
tied at the home of Mrs. o. w. Shook,
. friend living several blocks away.
They left the Shook home about 9
O'Clock. This was the last time any
of them were seen alive.
Mrs. Shook discovered the Quintuple
killing. She called at the Snowman
home. Her knock was unanswered, SO
she opened the door and walked into
the house, entering the room in which
the bodies of the five victims lay.
She quickly gave the alarm. 1t was
then nearly dark and the officers were
unable to find anything which would
furnish a clue.
