AZ Governor Of Egypt, Sir Matthew
Nathan Would Occupy Position
Once Held by Joseph.

Should Sir Matthew Nathan, for
mer governor of Natal. be appointed
to succeed Sid Eldon Go-st as gov

taken one of those curious turns that
set agog the discerners Of signs and
omens, for this appointment that 10
pending would place In supreme ad-
ministrative control of Egypt the sec.
ond Jew in four thousand years.
Sir Matthew Nathan would be the
successor to Joseph Of his race in
the administration OF a country that
in the time Of Pharoah. who befriend-
ed Joseph. was the granary Of tho
world. and in these later days is be-
coming one lof the most significant
countries of modern times
Those who con the sacred scrip

may make will seize upon this Incl.
dent as fulfilling one or another pre-
diction or fancied prediction Of tho
past, and much may be built upon It.
In fact, it will be but coincidence.
but one OF unusual interest. however.
The practical import will be that Sir
Matthew Nathan is reckoned fine
administrator and worthy Of all
honor.

I. Explains How He Harvested
Grain seventy-Five Years
Ago at Dekalb.

Chicago.-From the shadows of the
past came reapers Of SO and 70 years
ago to the Henry Whitmore farm the
other day, near DeKalb, and In the
role of harvesters pitted themselves
against the marvellous machinery of
modern times
More than 1000. many OF whom came
in automobiles, watched the men har-
vesting grain in as many ways as have
been contrived since agricultural pur-
suits have been followed on the Ameri-
can continent. There was the old
fashioned cradle, the sickle and
scythe, the early-day reaper and the
modern binder. It was a panoramic
history of one Of the most important
phases Of the industrial life Of America.
White-haired. patriarchal In appear
ance, his shoulders bent with the
weight Of years, uncle" William Allen
Of Sycamore, swung his cradle for five
minutes as he was wont to do three
quarters of century ago. And as he
cut his last swath, he leaned on the
handle Of his cradle and laughed at
the incongruity of the picture pre-
scented.
Looks silly, doesn't it," he asked of
the cheering spectators. Times have
certainly changed Eince began har-
vesting." And his old eyes followed
modern binding machine cutting a
wide swath. gathering up the fallen
grain and tying it in bundles.
II am 81 years old" said the vet
eran harvester as the binder turned a
corner, "but if could live 20 years
more would see even greater changes
in the world than since first began
swinging a cradle in harvest field
Among the reapers were c.. w. and
W. w. Marsh, two brothers, who have
lived more than the allotted three
score years and ten, and who are
credited with being the first to have
conceived the idea of the reaper. Their
first machine was brought forth and
cut swath around the ten-acre field.
AS crude as 1t seemed to the throng
of spectators, 1t was marvel COM
used for years before they brought
the reaper into beng. s.ss
81 am glad to have lived to see this
day." said the elder Of the Marsh
brothers. Farming today is not what
1t was when we were boys. Look at
that binder. See how the driver fair
ly sails through that ocean Of grain.
Isn't it worth living to see?"
Following the exhibition in the field.
bundles Of wheat and oats were
brought to the lawn OF the Whitmors
home and spread on the grass, where
1t was thrashed by old-fashioned fails
by men who had swung fails long be-
Tore the thrashing machine was ever
dreamed Of.
Speechmaking and music concluded
the days program and refreshments
we're served In olc-fashioned style to
the hungry harvesters.

LUCKY MISTAKE.
Grocer Sent Pkg. Of Postum and

A lady writes from Brookline. Mass:
"A package of Postum was sent me
one day by mistake.
IT notified the grocer, but finding
that there was no coffee for breakfast
next morning I prepared some Of the
Postum, following the directions very
carefully.
1T was an immediate success In my
family, and from that day we have
used it constantly, parents and chill
dren, too-for my three rosy young
sters are allowed to drink it freely at
breakfast and luncheon. They think It
delicious, and l would have a mutiny
on my hands should omit the be-
loved beverage.
"My husband used to have very
delicate stomach while we were using
coffee, but to our surprise his stom-
ach has grown strong and entirely well
since we quit coffee and have been on
Postum.
Noting the good effects in my fam
lily I wrote to my sister, who was a
coffee topper, and after much persua-
sion got her to try Postum.
"She was prejudiced against it at
first, but when she presently found
that all the ailments that coffee gave
her left and she got we'll quickly she
became and remains thorough and
enthusiastic Postum convert.
Her nerves, which had become
shattered by the use Of coffee have
grown healthy again, and today she is
a new woman, thanks to Postum"
