rather, as strong as those of 9th
er automobile manufacturers.
But our claims are different in
in this respect: We want you to
prove what we say. We cannot
think of anything fairer.
In other words we are willing
to rest our case with you. We
respect your Judgment. We let
you be the Judge.
And it is the best way of pre-
senting product to the public.
The public studies The public
investigates. The public knows.
People have watched the devel-
opment of the automobile indus
try. They know car values.
And so. when we say that the
Oakland is the ideal car that the
chassis represents simplicity,
strength and dependability, and
the body is very bcautiful--we
want you to prove the things we
say.
1t is this minded policy
that has helped to make the Oak
land the leader it is today.
Oakland cars are made in four
and six-cylinder models, in a wide
range of body designs 81, $50

UPWARD START
fter Changing from Coffee to Postum

Many talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
with the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get
rid of coffee troubles and Tenn.
lady's experience along these lines is
worth considering. She says:
Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it hurt my stomach BY
the time l was fifteen l was almost
a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung,
no strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little | did eat seemed to give
me more trouble than it was worth I
was literally starving; was SO weak I
could not sit up long at a time.
1T was then friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. l drank part Of it
and after an hour l felt as though I
had had something to eat = felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post
UNI in place of coffee and gradually
getting; stronger, today / can eat and
digest anything l want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
81 believe the first thing that did
me any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and ! use 1t alto
gether now instead of coffee"
Name given by the Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum must be well
boiled. 15c and Csc packages.
Instant Postum-is soluble pow
der. A teaspoonful dissolves quickly
In a cup of hot water and, with cream
and sugar, makes a delicious bever-

YORK ESCAPES ASSASSIN'S
BULLET.
CORPORATION COUNSEL SHOT
Frank L. Polk Seriously Wounded by
Man Who Sought to Kin Executive
Occurs in Front of City HalI-Vic-
tim Expected to Recover.

New York, April 20.-Mayor John
Purroy Mitchell narrowly escaped be-
ing assassinated here on Friday when
he was about to enter an automobile
IL front of the city hall.
One snot was fired at the mayor by
a man who had apparently been wait
ing upon the sidewalk.
The bullet missed the city executive
and struck Corporation Counsel Frank
Lyon Polk in the jaw, inficting a bad
wound
The assailant was Immediately ar
rested.
Accompanied by Mr.. Polk and Ar
thur H. Woods, the newly appointed
police commissioner Mr.. Mitchell was
just entering the automobile to go to
his lunch when the shot was fired
Folks wound was examined at the
hospital and the doctors said there
was no danger. Three teeth in the
lower jaw were shattered by the slug
of lead, which lodged in the jaw. 1t
is probable that the bullet will be re-
moved in short time.
Mayor Mitchell and Police Commits
sioner Woods helped carry Mr.. Polk
into the basement, where he was
made as comfortable as possible.
The bullet struck the jaw bone, and
was DETECTED upward.
The shooting caused tremendous ex-
element as Park row, Broadway and
City Hall park are always thronged
with persons going to or from lunch
at the hour of the shooting
So enormous was the crowd that
gathered in a few minutes that po-
lice reserves had to be called out.
L am not certain whether or not
the man shot at me-" said Mayor
Mitchell, Immediately after the shoot
ing. At that time the assassin had
not been identified
The assailant refused to talk when
taken before the police authorities.
He appeared 10 be about seventy
years of age, and was poorly dressed.
Upon his coat and clothing was the
name David Rose"
81 am not David Rose" the old man
sullenly declared. Then after a great
deal of persuasion he said:
my name is Joseph Saloschein."
Did you intend to murder Mayor
Mitchell" asked the interrogating po-
lice officer.
The old man shrugged his shoulders.
Later to friends who called to con-
graduate him upon his escape, Mayor
Mitchell said:
Il have come to believe since the
shooting that the man really meant
to kill me-"
