NEWARK. y. j.. July 1.-Two thou

LAMAR JURY HANDS
DOWN INDICTMENT
Sealed Bill, 1t Is Asserted,
Does Not Concern
Lauterbach.

The Federal Grand Jury which inves-
tigated the confessed deceptions OF Da-
vid Lamar handed down a sealed in
dictment last night.
1t can be said with certainty that
this bill. which was received by Judge
Hand, does not concern as q principal
Edward Lauterbach, the lawyer whom
Lamar. according to his own testimony
before the lobby investigating commit
tee at Washington. tried to rehabilitate
with certain Wall street interests.
The indictment was handed in Sc
cretly. A sealed true bill is usually
employed in cases where the authorities
want to prevent the defendants escape
from the Jurisdiction OF the court.
William J. Flynn. chief OF the United
States secret service. hurried into the
Federal Building on his way from Roch-
ester and held a long conference with
Assistant United States Attorney
Walker. who is in charge Of the Lamar
inquiry.
1t is customary for the Federal au-
thorities to detail members Of the secret
service to shadow defendants named In
sealed indictments and to guard against
the departure Of those whom the Grand
Jury is about to indict. Everything
points to the employment Of these
methods in the Lamar investigation.
Consideration Of the Lamar case was
begun ny the Jury last Thursday. Sec
ton 80 Of the United States Criminal
Code provides fine of not more than
81. 900 or imprisonment Of not more
than three vea "a for apy One who "witf
intent to defraud either the United
States or any person shall falsely as

LIGHT BREAKS IN
rho90htful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause OF the clOudi-
ness. and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-.
fence and tells about it, in letter. He
says:
For about forty years. l have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last rs
years l would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.
The best doctors 1 could get and
all the medicines l could buy, only
gave me temporary relief.
Change Of climate was tried with
out results. I could not sleep nights,
had rheumatism and my heart would
palpitate at times so that it seemed
1t would jump out of my body.
Il came to the conclusion that there
was no relief for me and that I was
about wound up, when saw a Postum
advertisement. I had always been a
coffee drinker, and got an idea from
the ad. that maybe coffee was the
cause Of my trouble.
Il began to use Postum instead of
coffee and In less than three weeks I
felt like new man. The rheumatism
eft me. and l have never had q spell
Of bilious collie since
My appetite is good, my digestion
never was better and l can do more
work than before for 40 years.
Il haven't tasted coffee since I be-
gan with Postum. My wife makes it
according to directions and relish it
az we11 as I ovor did oofPoo ord u,o.

tie book, The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be we'll boiled.
Instant Postum is soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup Of hot water and, with the addi-
ton of cream and sugar, makes a de.
licious beverage Instantly.
There's a reason" for Postum.
