Vicinity.

Rochester.-Is Rev. Louis Pata-
mont, the man of mystery, in the vic
Unity of Rochester? Evangelist Hugh
Cooper, who is conducting a revival
campaign here, and who is personally
acquainted with Patamont, believes
that he is. The report brought to
Rochester that man acting strange
ly has been seen wandering about the
rural sections of the county has also
led local people to believe that he is
near here.
Patamont disappeared from the
public view last spring and was found
SO days later bound and gagged in a
shack Is miles from st. Louis. 1t was
alleged that he was put there by the
enemies of the dry crusade. A second
time Patamont disappeared and, later,
was found in dazed condition, and
again he vanished. This week a
stranger appeared at the farms in the
vicinity of Simpson, this county,
answering PatamQpt's description,
which aroused the interest of Evan
gelist Cooper, who knew the man so
well. With a company of employees
from the state hospital for the insane,
Cooper followed the trail, but could
not locate him.

finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
Naturally have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has
been left off and Postum used.
81 observe a curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. 1t
greatly helps the flow of milk in cases
where coffee is inclined to dry 1t
up, and where tea causes nervousness.

to make Postum properly. But when
it is prepared according to directions
