CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken In with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience Of a Kansas City
mother Is a case in point:
II was a great coffee drinker from g.
child, and thought I could not do with
out It. But I found at last 1t was 90
ing me harm. For years l had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain In my heart, to
which was added, two years later, o
chronic sour stomach.
1.-THE baby was born Z months ago,
and almost from the beginning, 1t, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking 1t from mel
'In my distress I consulted q friend
Of more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did nos
make good milk. I have since sscer-
tanned that It really dries up the milk.

at last oco But they did not agree
with me. Then I turned to Postum
with the happiest results. 1t proved
to be the very thing I needed. It not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but It increased the flow o.
my milk. I
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well Ok
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled. I no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain In my
heart or soul stomach.
"Now we all drink Postum from my
husband to my seven months Ola
baby. It has proved to be the best
hot drink we have eve used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name giver

gain time enough to communicate with
Poritol and the Japanese and whatever
other persons might be helping in the
struggle to regain the papers. The
probabilities were that Alcatrante had
been using the last two hours to get
in touch with his friends.
And now those friends would be In
formed promptly that Orme and the
girl were setting out by motor. Thls
analysis apparently accounted for Al
catrante's nonchalance. Orme and the
girl seemed to be escaping, but IN
truth. If they approached their destina-
ton at all, they must run into the am
buscade of other enemies. Then the
nearer the goal, the greater the dan
ger.
AS the motor slid smoothly north
ward on La Sale street, Orme looked
back. Alcatrante had made no move.
The last glimpse that Orme had Of him
showed that slight but sinister figure
alone on the sidewalk of the deserted
business street.
They crossed the Clark street bridge.
Keep on out North Clark street until
you can cross over to Lincoln park"
said Orme to the chauffeur.
The only indication that the order
had been heard was a bending forward
of the bowed figure on the front seat.
Orme explained to the girl. ut will

"Tm afraid that would not have been

From the Devil to the Deep Sea.
"How shall we go?" asked Orme, as
they descended to the street level.
"By train. There is no other con-
yenient way, since my a 10 at home"
she looked at him d%oubtfully, and add
ed. "but they will be watching the

He nodded. "A motor would be
safer-if we can get one" He gave
her hand a secret pressure while the
elevator boy was opening this door 0
them, and as she passed before him
she flashed upon him a look NO hlled
with love and trust that the sudden
thrill of hio happiness almost stified
him.
At the La Sale street entrance Orme'
had a fleeing glimpse Of the watching
Alcatrante. The South American, after
one astonished stare, darted away In
the dusk. He would follow them, OF
course, but Orme decided to say
pothing about him to the girl.

Accordingly they made their way to
the nearest, and the girl went to the
booth The door was shut for a long
time. I
While he was waiting, Orme glanced
through the brilliant window. In the
light of an electric lamp across the
street he discerned family a notion
less figure; without hesitation he
crossed the pavement, recognizing AL
catrante more clearly as he left the
dazzle of the store.
The minister did not bulge. His
face, as Orme approached, was cold
and expressionless.
"Senor,a exclaimed Orme. docs your

Not at all. Why do you ask, Mr.
Orme?"
Because only a lucky Intervention

MICHIGAN MINES APPRAISED
Expert Finds Limit to Profitable
Copper Working in Sight.

Lansing Mich, Aug. N-Michigan cop

to-day. as a result of the appraisal he has
been making for two months. The ap-
praisa was made by direction or the Legis-
nature. in order to determine whether these
classes Of property are paying their share
of taxation.
Mr. Finlay values the copper mines at
$50. $4,000. the iron mines at sll9 Isl, 900 and
the coal at SS6l7f5. OF these figures the in
crease comes particularly in iron mines.
