How TO See Through Paper.

very remarkable experiment
which any one can repeat with very
little trouble has been unearthed by a
German. Take piece OF paper Of
such thickness that. when II Is laid
upon a piece OF printed matter, the
characters just show through. but can.
not be read Placing It over a printed
sheet. impart TO It circular motion
10 and fro, and to your surprise you
will find that now you can read the
print below the paper
II Is rather difficult to explain this
peculiar effect The explanation Of
fered Is that the paper has thin places
In II, and by rapidly moving II over
the print. every part OF the printed
matter is exposed in turn underneath
one or the other OF the thin places In
the paper, and thus the entire print
can be read However that may be,
the experiment Is interesting and very
simple. requiring for It's performance
only the simplest means imaginable.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached 10
the condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands In the United States
who are financially interested in lands
In that country. Thie interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing OF grain.
The reports from Canadian govern.
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces OF Manitoba. Saskatche.
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that OF last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall piowing as had
been hoped for. The getting ready OF
land this spring made a considerable
portion OF the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this. wheat. oats.
barley and fax were got in in good
shape. although from a week 20 ten
days later than last year. On the
27th OF June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally IN Western

conditions in recent weeks have been

headed out in Manitoba between July
10th az 1 l2th, and in Saskatchewan
and A : rita from 18th TO nth. The

and rather short in straw"
This Is followed by report July
9th: Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks. while crop
Is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tionsl upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason

FOUND A WAY
To BE Clear Of Coffee Troubles.

Husband and myself both had the
coffee habit. and finally his stomach
and kidneys got in such bad condi-
tion that he was compelled to give up
good position that he had held for
years. He was too sick to work. His
skin was yellow, and there didn't
seem to be an organ in his body that
was not affected.
Il told him felt sure his sickness
was due to coffee and after some dis
cussion he decided to give 1t up.
1T was a struggle. because OF the
powerful habit. One day we heard
about Postum and concluded to try 1t
and then It was easy to leave on
coffee.
His fearful headaches grew less
frequent. his complexion began to
clear, kidneys grew better until at last
he was new man altogether, as a re.
suit Of leaving of coffee and taking up
Postum. Then began to drink it too.

WHEAT ESTIMATE LOWER
Crop viii Aggregate 100000 TO
1s,ooo 900 Bushels

Oklahoma's wheat yield for this
year will aggregate from 100000 tc
100000 bushels. This represents n
falling off OF approximately 80 per cent
from what the prospects were for
yield the latter part Of May when the
dry weather caused the wheat to lose
the moisture that was SO necessary
for the final ripening period. Last
years total yield for Oklahoma was
approximately 2O.0OO,OOo bushels.
Chinch bugs did little damage TO the
wheat. the principal damage having
been due to the drouth. according to
Charles F. Prouty, secretary-treasurer
OF the Oklahoma Grain Dealers asso-
oiadon. Prospects for a big yield
we're never brighter than a week be-
fore the time for the wheat to ripen.
and the crop harvested does not repre-
sent the highest grade OF wheat he
said.
Fifteen million bushels will he q
good yield. according to ID. c. Kolp,
OF the firm OF 4. II. and ID. c. Kolp,
grain dealers, who estimate that at
least 10000, 900 bushels were lost be-
cause OF the drouth. This also IL the
contention OF II. H. Conyers, manager
of J. Rosenbaum Grain company, and
OF ]. J. Stinnett. manager OF the Okla
homa Export company. The wheat
will bring approximately 75 cents a
bushel to the farmers, they contend.
